A Look Back at March

3 massive updates, more than a hundred new feats, eight new monsters, and half a dozen new training opponents.

The list goes on of all that took place here at the Power Level Studios last March! We launched Soul Reaper: Unreap Commander 0.0.5 before the first week ended and followed it up with 0.0.6 a couple of days after. Two nights after 0.0.6, we released the final free version.

That brings us up to Soul Reaper: Unreap Commander 0.0.7!

From 0.0.5 to 0.0.7 in less than a week!

Okay, okay. I may not be part of the art and dev team, but I’m super proud of them guys! Just take a look at this screenshot of the Power Level Studios Instagram account, which I’ve been filling with photographic progress:

What I’ve been doing, ha!

But the 0.0.5 to 0.0.7 is just part of the equation. There’s more, fellow Reapers, Unreapers, and Commanders. March was a pretty tight and solid month, and we ended it with the following updates (which we’ll see in action this April!):

  • Website redesign (*This one’s launching very soon)
  • 13 new loot drawn
  • 5 new monsters drawn
  • 1 new monster animated
  • New narrated gameplay trailer (*This one will be released very soon too)

We’re all pretty happy that things are coming along nicely for this fellow. Just look at that smile of his (still’s from the Official Soul Reaper: Unreap Commander Teaser video, by the way).

Such badass-ness.

Just in case you haven’t seen the trailer, go on and check it out:

So… What’s up this April?

STEAM(y) ACTION!

That’s right! We’re finally gearing up for Steam Early Access launch (Version 0.0.8)! We don’t have an exact date yet, but it’s going to be this April, for sure. So, bear with us as we make sure everything’s smooth and seamless for the late April launch.

So while we’re all waiting for that, personally, I’m going to do some soul rea… searching. Maybe go on a date with the little fellow with this as the background:

Care to hazard a guess where this is?

Okay, let’s get back to standard programming…

In addition to the Steam Early Access launch, April for PLS (and all you Soul Reaper minions out there) means the following updates:

  • Content and bug fixes releases

o New loot

o New monsters

o New soul gear

o New feats

o New leaderboards

  • Resuming work on Rise of the Unreaps

The Vault has sorely missed Soul Reaper, what with him being busy unreaping and commandeering reaps. So, this April, the team will get back to working on Soul Reaper: Rise of the Unreaps.

That’s pretty much for March, and what we can look forward to this April. Thank you everyone, and we hope you guys will continue supporting PLS and Soul Reaper’s badass-ness throughout.

And of course, we here at PLS also wish you an amazing April! Let’s all keep at it!

Until the next post, mata ne! (Ha! My excitement is getting the better of me and it’s showing. That’s Nihongo for ‘later,’ as what my 2D taught me)
