Hey everybody, today we finally can share some very exciting news with you all: We are developing DLCs FOR CONSTANCE! The DLCs will add new content to the game in the form of new levels, enemies, bosses and challenges but also more lore and world building. We're excited to add things to the game that we always wanted to include since the beginning. Thanks to you all we will be finally able to do that and we couldn't be more excited! Besides that we can't share many more details on this yet, except for that the DLCs will be free of charge. That is all for today, thank you very much for playing Constance and talk again soon! Sebastian, Director for Constance

Patch Notes 1.1.1.17398

• Migrated asset management to Addressables. This should significantly reduce patch sizes going forward, as assets are now split into smaller packages. We no longer need to repackage the entire game (including all textures and SFX) when making small changes.
• Tons of improvements to memory allocation and overall performance across the game
• Game no longer crashes on GPUs without compute shader support
• Fixed a bug that caused the game to freeze on some PCs when taking a Snapshot
• Fixed Joker death VFX triggering when defeated outside of its vulnerability phase
• Fixed PuppetHand StringAttack damage
• Additional minor bug fixes and translation improvements

• New Cursed Game Mode (unlocks after beating the game and serves as our game's "hard mode")

• Chase Sequence: Level design adjustments for fairer timings and less frustrating moments

Hey everybody!

Before the team will head into a well deserved winter break we wanted to let you know what we have planned for Constance in the next couple of months.

We heard and analyzed your feedback and are attempting everything we can to adress the biggest issues.

Besides obvious accessibility options like a better readable map and skippable cutscenes we are also looking into our boss fight designs and will smoothen out some of the rougher edges in terms of timing, pacing and balancing that we unfortunetely didn't have the time to perfect before the 1.0 launch.

We hope you're excited about what we are preparing for you.

Thanks again for playing and all the feedback, see you again very soon!

Hey everyone, Today our second Patch for Constance is going live! We fixed the most pressing bugs you reported to us and already started with some map improvements. (More to come!) When buying the Architect's Blueprint item from the shop you now get a visual indicator on the levels on your map that communicate if all secrets/collectibles have been found in a room.

Here are the full patch notes:

• Level-based completion tracking added to the map (unlocks via "Architect's Blueprint")

• Fixed the "Inner Canvas" achievement (if you qualify, load into any save to receive it)

• PC local time shenanigans no longer break savegame loading

• Snapshot button is now rebindable on controller

• Fixed a bug where Jackie's quest stayed incomplete even though you had all rewards (talk to her again if that's the case for you)

• Fixed a bug where Palettus sometimes glitched through the door, causing a softlock

• Broken savegames are now properly ignored during load

• A handful of additional fixes

In just a few days we will also release our "Post Launch Roadmap" for Constance so you are aware about the things you can look forward to in the upcoming months. Thanks a lot for all your feedback, we will continue to iterate and improve! Cheers, The Constance Team

Constance is out now. We hope you will enjoy the adventure we created for you! Also the Original Soundtrack has been released!

7 days until release and today we have a sweet little collab for you: As a team, we love the little things that bring us joy during the workday, so obviously we're big fans of Bongo Cat and have a multiplayer lobby running almost daily.

That makes this collaboration all the more exciting! Starting right now, you can earn special cosmetic items for your own Bongo Cat if you play our demo for just 5 minutes!

Happy playing!
