Hello Survival Typists!

This update brings a lot of new content for you to play with. Since we know a lot of you have been impatient for the new stuff, let’s get right down to it!

Splatter Shot introduces a different weapon and play style for our survival typists. Spit out nasty goo at your enemies to slow them down and deal D.O.T. while your other weapons finish them off. Evolutions allow you to change the damage type according to your build preference or gives you options to expand the spread of the goo.

We’re also planning to add more weapon evolutions to our current weapon set to give you even more opportunities to discover new weapon synergies. Repeater and Heat Ray are getting evolutionary updates this time around, like Exploding Bullets for Repeater.

Like the 3 headed creature from Greek mythology, this boss has 3 heads that relentlessly shoot enemies at you. We made this boss especially for the speed typers to have a lot of words to type in rapid succession!

Like some of our other bosses, Cerberus has a final form that comes back to haunt you later in the game. But we’ll keep that a secret for now…

That’s it for this update folks! We hope you enjoy this update, and we will be back again in 2 months to give you some fresh new content and features!

Hello Survival Typists,

We want to send a big thank you to all our players. Glyphica has over 35,000 players now, with a rating of 88% positive on Steam. With your help, we’re excited to keep working more on the game to reach even more people.

At the start of Early Access we wanted to release monthly updates in order to reassure players of our commitment to the game. This kind of development schedule is difficult for us to maintain, especially when unforeseen circumstances arise. Therefore starting with Update 4, our update schedule will be every every 2 months, and our target release for Update 4 will be at the end of March.

However, we want to remind anyone that wants a sneak preview of what we are working on that this will always be available on our staging branch:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/2400160/discussions/9/4694532371788122596/

For example if you access the staging branch now, you’ll get a first look at our Splatter Shot Main Weapon, which will be released in Update 4.

With that, we’d like to update the previous roadmap we shared by going through what was added to the game already as well as showing you what else we have planned for you.

Hello Survival Typists!

We’re excited to share that we have a testing branch in for Korean and Simplified Chinese ready for you to try out. While we were planning to try releasing Traditional Chinese, it seems it is much more complicated for typing, so we will need more time to study how to make it work for our game. For now we hope you can help us test these new languages.

To access the build, please do the following:

• Go to your steam library
  
• Right click on Glyphica : Typing Survival
  
• Click on properties
  
• Click on betas
  
• In Private betas text field, type : “PolitePossumsInPurple”
  
• Click Check code
  
• You should now have access to the test build named : “korean_and_schinese”
  
• You should be able to access this by clicking the dropdown menu in Beta Participation and selecting “korean_and_schinese”

We are sharing the test build with you so you can give us feedback to make it better. You can leave your feedback in this forum post.

You can also leave feedback in our discord server:
https://discord.gg/fMuTD9pcM8
In the Localization Category, there is a forum called “Official-language-testing”. You should be able to find your language there.
Of course English is easiest for us to respond to. But if you prefer to write in your own language we will do our best to respond, as well as ask for help from our players to explain it to us.

Thank you!
