    The 2025 Blog Post

    It’s been a while since our last update—November, when Mort the Chicken made his big debut. We want to start by apologizing for the gap in communication. Balancing development and public updates as a small indie team has been a challenge, especially with the hurdles we’ve faced recently. But moving forward, we’re committing to more consistent and transparent updates because you deserve nothing less. Where We’re At We’ll be honest: our team has gotten smaller. While this has meant scaling back in some areas, it hasn’t stopped us from pressing forward. Every day, we’re working hard with the resources we have, and your continued support—whether it’s playing the game, sharing feedback, or hyping it up in the community—has made a huge difference. Switching to a free-to-play model was a bold step, and while it’s brought financial challenges, we’re confident it’s the right direction for Cross Impact. It hasn’t been easy, but we’re determined to make it work. There’s a long road ahead, but we’re here for the journey. Feedback in the Queue We’ve been closely following your feedback and want to address the key points the community has raised. Here’s what we’re working on: We're Re-Animating Major Attacks: Animation fluidity is one of our top priorities, and we’re actively working on it to make combat feel smoother and more dynamic. We're Rebalancing Assists: Balancing assists is in progress, with updates coming soon to fine-tune their impact on gameplay. We're Re-Evaluating Stage Hazards & Layouts-: Modifying stages to ensure they enhance, not hinder, the fun. We're Working on Netcode Changes: We’ve noticed reports of inconsistent performance during high-latency matches and are investigating optimizations to make online play as seamless as possible. We’ve been closely following your feedback and want to address the key points the community has raised. What’s Next? Now, the exciting part: our updated 2025 roadmap! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44142409/6034cb13bc7a816b38fcb3db77cd68e051e...
