Alexis wrote a mini-retrospective a couple of weeks ago which talks about the immediate aftermath of launch. Take a look if you haven’t already! This retrospective’ll go over some of the same points, but we’re looking at the whole project here. It’s worth mentioning that there are lots of things – both good and bad – Read more
Almost a week on from launching Cultist Simulator. How did it go? Here’s a mini-retrospective. Surviving the Launch AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH — endless screaming ⚧ (@infinite_scream) June 6, 2018 CS has done well. More on that in a moment. I’m very happy it has. But this means we’ve been much, much busier in the last week than Read more
Cultist Simulator is live on Steam, Humble, GOG and itch.io. We hit #1 on the global top sellers list on Steam on launch. We got a Eurogamer and an RPS Recommended badge, and currently 75% of the Steam reviews think the game is AMAZING and the other 25% think it’s AN INCOMPREHENSIBLE NONSENSE. I just Read more
Hello all. We’ve been updating the game at a furious pace, but from here on in, the pace of updates on the main Steam branch will slow right down. From 31st May, Cultist Simulator will be in full release, and we will want to keep the build stable. BUT! if you like life in the Read more
Cultist Simulator launches in…Countdown ??????????????????????????????????? So… that’s a thing. We’ve been working hard, trying to get CS in as sparkly a place as possible while stopping ourselves from going respectively insane. There was a certain amount of …some rousing speeches… …and a healthy dose of… …but SwearTrek (the above, all courtesy of), our community and Read more
In the run-up to the Cultist Simulator launch on 31st May, we’re posting all of Sarah Gordon’s lovely Hours Tarot, including several that haven’t been seen before, on the Weather Factory Twitter account. Here’s some behind-the-scenes on how we got to the Crowned Growth, one of the two horriblest ones to date. Sarah: This one Read more
Today we release our final major build prior to launch: the HARBINGER’S BUILD. This doesn’t contain entirely new content, but steady improvements to the content we already have. Scroll down for full patch notes! I have one thing to flag! We’ve received a lot of feedback in the last month or so that the early Read more
HAPPY LAUNCH MONTH, EVERYONE! Cultist Simulator launches in…Countdown Over the last two weeks, we sent out our second newsletter, jazzed up our subreddit and started planning our definitely not ill-advised launch party for the 31st (we’ll be livestreaming the actual Pushing of the Button on Caffeine.tv, and we’d love you to come freak out with Read more
We took Cultist Simulator to Rezzed a week ago. Player-facing events are really useful for feedback. We got a very, very positive response, but again and again people fiddled with combinations that didn’t work. There’s a lot of trial and error, they said. Yes, I said, you’re right, and I want to reduce the amount Read more
So, this sprint has been… insane. We released the Explorer’s Build, which has been rapidly iterated on by Alexis to the point that we’re now on 2018.4.j.1, despite having two events and a bunch of international flights between last Monday and now. But seeing as text is super lame and definitely a dying medium, what Read more
