Before I get into what we’ve been up to, we have a 📣CHANGE WARNING📣! We’ve decided to push back the Dancer DLC release by one sprint (two weeks). If you’ve read our retrospective, you’ll know that we ran hot trying to keep up with bug reports and feedback in the weeks after launch. This time, we’re Read more
Ryan Sumo (@RyanSumo) tweeted at 8:56 am on Tue, Jun 05, 2018: ‘I know you’ve already touched on this in a talk but practical strategies for sifting out important feedback would be much appreciated.

Aw yiss, it’s your fortnightly round-up of Weather Factory fun! Over the last two weeks Alexis finished his work with Sekret Freelancing Projekt #2, but that took him out of the running for Cultist work for most of the sprint. So we’ve been primarily focused on the Lovecraftday giveaway, via Which Cult Are You? quizzes, Steam Read more
One of the key bits of feedback we’ve received about Cultist Simulator is that it’s just not enough like quizzes from teenage magazines in the 90s. Mizz? Sugar?

Happy Friday, beloveds! Here’s what we’ve been up to, this fine August sprint. Firstly, we went on holiday to Wales. It was totally rad and Alexis practically melted on the drive down into a soft, gooey glow of remembered happiness. Yay! And then of course we came back and did work. Most of Alexis’s week Read more

Alexis posted a rough idea of Cultist’s future a few weeks Read more

I want to remember that most games are not written under perfect circumstances where writers see all their work go into the game in a perfectly executed way. Maybe someone wrote a series of dialogues with a companion NPC where the protag carefully teases Read more
Q. In the roadmap, there was no mention of quality of life updates. Are those still planned? They are – the roadmap is just content updates. We’ve got a freelancer in a few days a month to work on some QoL stuff (and localisation support) while I keep working on content. You can expect to Read more
Hello all We’ve got all the post-launch hotfixes out the door, we’ve been to Brazil and back, and now we’re making some more Cultist Simulator. Here are the three updates you can expect to see next.
