SKUNX GAMES

Can't believe it's already been over a week since release. We've been swept away by the overwhelming amount of videos, livestreams, reviews and feedback we've seen from everyone. It means the world to us! Later this week we'll share more about the future of Dark Pals: The 1st Floor, but first we want to take a moment to thank the community for their amazing response! Content Highlights In the first 1.5 weeks after release, we've seen hundreds of channels play the game on YouTube and Twitch. Together you've watched 100K+ hours of Dark Pals on Twitch alone, which is roughly ten times the amount it took our team to make the game. At the peak, almost 20K people were watching someone play Dark Pals, putting us in between Overwatch, Rust & PUBG. That's CRAZY! If you enjoy watching people play Dark Pals as much as we do, keep an eye on our YouTube channel for more funny compilations and clips like this! Got clips that deserve to be in a future compilation? Share them in the comments or on our Discord! Win Dark Pals plushies! We've been thinking about ways to actually thank you all for your support... THANK YOU so much ❤️ Our biggest dream is to continue with The 2nd Floor and grow our YouTube series about Dark Pals. The only way to get there is to keep growing awareness and sell more games here on Steam. And as small indie devs, we can't do that without you. So here's the idea: make as many shorts as you can about Dark Pals and post them on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, or X. Doesn't have to be polished. Doesn't have to be long. Whatever feels right to you. Post as many as you want. Your best-performing one counts for the contest. 1st place: The plushie trio (Binky, Chompy & Inky), credits in the game as a Supporter, 5 Steam keys for friends or giveaways, and early access to The 2nd Floor with the option for a small cameo if you want one (zero pressure, no obligation). 2nd & 3rd place: One plushie of choice, credits in the game as a Supporter, and 3 Steam keys for friends or giveaways. Keep sharing your feedback, clips and love on our ever growing Discord, and don't forget to actually buy the game so we can make Episode 2!

Thanks for all your feedback on our Discord, Steam and in the countless livestreams over the past week! We've fixed some of the most pressing issues, like players spawning under the floor or getting stuck in a Cinema chair. We've also fixed an issue that prevented you from getting the KREW Nightmare Teddies achievement, and we hope we've fixed the crazy multiverse Binky vs Chompy fight, where the animation was sometimes duplicated after dying. This was a very difficult bug to find, so if anyone still encounters it after the 1.1 update, please let us know! Full changelog: Changes: Gameplay in the final room is now much clearer! Made it clearer where to go during the first part of the Binky chase scene. The peeking minigame in Male Dorms is slightly easier. Increased SFX volume after completing the peeking minigame. The TV in the Projector Room can now be interacted with from a larger distance, as many players missed this. Added a feedback animation to Inky when trying to shoot a charge object without charge. Replaced papers scattered around the facility with lore-accurate texts. Added a button to the main menu that brings you to the plushie merchandise store. Your support helps us A LOT! Bug fixes: Hopefully fixed the unintended Binky vs Chompy multiverse fight, where the animation would play twice. Players no longer spawn underneath the floor after loading at specific locations. Players no longer fall through the floor occasionally during the end sequence. Inky no longer occasionally respawns during the end sequence. The camera no longer clips below the floor when respawning. Entering the Cinema chairs very quickly no longer soft-locks the player by not playing the video. Shooting 5/5 KREW Nightmare Teddies now correctly awards the achievement. Fixed minor issues with the amount of Ghost and Insignia collectibles required to get the achievement. Disabling head bobbing no longer disables footstep SFX. Removed an invisible collision in the final room. Fixed various clipping art assets. Various audio and minor bug fixes.
