PSA: Update on Our Progress

Hello Cryptic Crawlz community,

We’re still hard at work on Cryptic Crawlz, but development has slowed recently due to limited availability from our team and myself. As much as we’d love to have the demo ready by the end of the year, it’s now looking more likely to launch the demo in early next year—assuming we can find ways to pick up the pace.

Several factors have contributed to the delay:

• I’ve taken on side jobs to cover living expenses, which has reduced my available dev hours.
• We’re searching for a new female narrator. 
• Financial pressures and the current political climate mean my top priority is keeping a roof over my head—game work continues, but it’s moving more slowly than I’d like.

We remain committed to delivering the full vision of Cryptic Crawlz, and every slowdown represents our dedication to quality and creative direction. Thank you all for your patience and ongoing support. We’ll keep you posted with regular devlog updates—look out for today’s post on our IO!

Stay tuned, Sludge Entertainment.
