Hello, little skeletons! The nickname "Murdoc" had been our biggest patron during our fundraiser. However, he has been listed as TBD (To Be Determined) from the official launch of Skul up until now. As a crowd-funding reward, we at SOUTHPAW GAMES decided to create an original Skull in honour of Murdoc, but the project had been on hold until recently. Murdoc wanted to create a Skull that not only respected the game but was also well-designed and fitting for the game. Therefore, Murdoc mentioned that he needed time to gain a higher understanding of the game and come up with better ideas, and we

Hello little skeletons! In yesterday's 1.7.5 update, we made changes to the 'Rapidity' inscription. We identified that the damage values for the newly added effects of 'Rapidity' level 4, combo attacks were set lower than our intentions.

We will continue to play our game along with our players and interact to hear your comments and opinions to provide a better and more enjoyable playing experience.
