We're joining the Eastern Game Fest with the Official Demo! The better news: the game will conclude its early access phase and transition to an official release this summer. This Official Demo includes many new gameplay features, the complete prologue storyline, and the revamped Kaku.
❗Players who have purchased the game can input the branch password : bgkjdemo0424 in the settings to switch to the official demo version branch for testing.
We had many ideas originally and hoped to add them to the game during the early access period. But we are more eager to create updates that players will love. After the launch of the early access version, we collected feedback from players on various platforms. After intense discussions, we finally confirmed the updates that players wanted and decided to revamp the protagonist.
However, these decisions have impacted the development progress, increasing the time required for development, far beyond our expectations. The game possesses four extensive maps and a multitude of cutscenes. And the majority of the planned updates are core gameplay, making it difficult for us to update the game while ensuring stability and integrity.
Recently, as the content of the official version nears completion, we have been continuously conducting player testing, constantly fixing, iterating, and improving. We will transition to the official version in the summer. We are eager to let everyone try out the new content and allow new adventurers to experience the fun of KAKU: Ancient Seal. Therefore, we are releasing the revamped full prologue as a Demo, enabling everyone to experience it in advance.
