Hey everyone! Today I've got some exciting news to share - first off, the Crisis Point: Extinction public demo has been updated! Here's a list of most of the changes:

• Added confirmation prompt when opening links at the end of the demo, and fixed issue where gamepads would always double-click on links, opening the link twice
• Raised volume of Skill Unlock sound effect, as it was far quieter than the rest of the UI
• Fixed issue where the player could accidentally skip the Wire Shot by jumping over the pit you fall into to get it, which could result in being softlocked
• Fixed bug where the player could push the first Warped Soldier enemy encountered in the camp by using the Melee attack, which could cause the following cutscene to act strangely
• Fixed bug where gamepad couldn't skip the disclaimer and gamepad text when the game is started
• Updated keyboard UI prompts with better art
• Added a short cutscene at the start of the game
• Changed an instance of repetitive writing in the Summit Entry dialogue, and an instance of incorrect writing in Rodriguez's intro cutscene
• Fixed issue where environmental dialogue of Alicia finding the first security door was bugged, and would play an unintended line from Birch after Alicia finished talking
• Fixed a bug where some interactables were still interactive during the Warped Soldier fight at camp, which lead to many other bugs and crashes
• Nerfed damage of Split Shot slightly (main bullet down from 2.0 to 1.8, sub-bullets down from 0.4 to 0.25)
• Nerfed Rapid Trigger damage slightly (was 75% of normal damage before, now 66%)
• Nerfed damage of Auto Shot weapon to 0.75 (down from 1.25; default bullets do 2.0)
• First boss fight no longer bugs out and continues screen shake if you die and respawn

In addition to all of those smaller changes, there's one last big thing - a whole new CG has been added to the game, and you can find it on a Data Disc in the Summit! Which leads me into.. 

As patrons will already know, Crisis Point: Extinction has teamed up with Spooky Starlets - a game made by our very own FlynnFlann, designer of Crisis Point's UI - to add a little collaboration between our games! In Crisis Point, the collab takes the form of a brand new CG starring Alicia and Susie (pictured above), the lead characters of each game, in an in-universe promo video showing Spooky Starlets as a real game within the Crisis Point universe. Much like every other CG in Crisis Point, it features multiple images and full voice acting, and can be viewed as many times as you like once unlocked. If you have any interest in seeing more of Susie Stitches, along with a bunch more sexy monster girls, you can check out Spooky Starlets - a game in which you pick from a variety of poses to create your own pornographic movies starring the aforementioned ladies!

As part of the promotion, Alicia has been added as a selectable Starlet within Spooky Starlets, so you can make videos starring her as well! If you want to learn more about the game, you can view this infographic here showcasing just how the game works, or check out their Patreon page! Throw 'em some support if you like what you see, they're doing great work!
