Can I be skeptical that this is a good idea? It's already difficult making good progress with these sorta games. So to "waste" time on this is questionable to me. What does it really add? Will "blackjack with some twists" be actual fun (if I want to play a card game, I'll play a card game...)? I don't know; usually I think the minigames at little for all the effort they require. Makes sense in some games, but here? Eh.

Being skeptical isn't to say I'm not willing to let myself be convinced. I just expect not to be convinced ;)
It's one that's on the backburner in the sense that, we're focused on the big, important stuff right now.
-Improving combat and core mechanics
-Adding new content
-Improving old content/revamping art.

Once we're comfortably satisfied with the above and have some breathing room, that's when we'll go back and be like 'Ok, now we can put a little energy into this...'

I do think/hope it'll be fun and good for world-building etc, but the priority is always the core gameplay loop and content.

-It's only meant to be the prologue for steam players.
-It's been reworked/remastered, there's some 'light' new lewd and story scenes
-Yes, the new content and changes in the steam demo will be 'merged' with the next update release.
-Early access release is planned in the next 2-3 updates from now.

Been waiting for this to get to a stable position before trying. Should be soon by the looks of it, good luck until then!

lostraven Since you are doing a remaster, it would be nice if you made us go directly to the Save menu when we right-click the mouse and have the roll back, It may sound stupid, but that's the only thing that bothered me in the whole game.

Hey guys, it's been a while but a lot of stuff has happened! :)
First things first, we're awaiting final review on Steam's approval with the demo, as soon as it's up, we'll let you guys know! Not long now!
Remember, If you haven't already, please wishlist Parasite Black over on steam! Every wishlist helps! Link to the steam page here:


Now onto the main development news!
Here's a couple cool things and changes we've been working on recently!

Combat:
Continuing on from previous news-posts, we're continuing to tweak and improve combat further. Aside from UI changes, changes to XP and overhauling skill tress and such, all enemies in the game should now have different stats and such finally, so expect combat to feel VERY different.
We still haven't got the player able to transform into his parasite form during combat, but that's next on the list.


(WIP - Combat overhaul above).

Relationships system redefined:
The current relationship system is being overhauled into something more RPG-friendly. Your relationship chart will now detail what kind of relationship you have with certain characters you've met, any major relationship changing events, whether they're alive or not and more!


(WIP - Relationships UI overhaul above).

Barati... A collectable card game in PB?:
While combat and essential works take priority, we've jotted out plans for a card game within PB and have all the base cards complete!
Throughout the world, the plan is you'll be able to buy/win collectable special cards which you can use to enhance your 'special cards' deck, which can be used to help turn the game in your favor against your opponent.
If all goes well, all sorts of rewards can be found and won, and we think it'll add a new intricate layer to the world building hopefully!
Barati is in preliminary stages for now, and is probably best described as blackjack with more than a few twists...


The base cards for Barati (above)


Finally,
We just wanted to say the latest update is coming along, they'll be more news on that front soon, but the work (and work-load) is very intense, but, it will hopefully elevate this game into something truly awesome!

If you have any questions, PLEASE ask them here or over on the discord and we'll try get back to you as soon as we can!


As always,
thank you all so much for your support,
you guys are awesome and really keep things going around here!
Love,

-The Damned Studios Team

Will saves continue to be broken with the steam rework? I am interested in the game but I have no interest in replaying content I have already played in previous updates. I prefer using steam as opposed to downloading from this website/patreon/any other platform. Am I going to be forced to replay the game each time the game is updated there?

As for 'full' save compatibility, while there are ongoing engine changes, saves are nearly guaranteed to be broken, it's something we hope to fix, but it will take us a while still.

...But you don't *have* to use them right now between builds, as a placeholder, use the quick start feature in game and select the stuff you've already done, and you'll be able to jump in where you left off approximately in your last run through to continue.

PLaying the steam version right now, but I cant find the cheats menu anymore, nor can I quickstart.

The steam version is just a demo and only contains the opening prologue so there is no point for a quickstart .This isn't a normal release it's just a demo for steam players.The next update will be the normal release.
