RELEASE DAY!!
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here. After almost two years of development, The Butcher of Crimson Valley is ready for release! This survival horror game, inspired by classic ‘80s slashers, is a true passion project by me and a few other wonderful developers, and we all thank you for your support throughout it.
Just a reminder that if you find any bugs report them to the forum. We’ll get them patched as soon as possible.
Thanks again, and remember…the Butcher knows what you did 😉
1.1 Build
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here. Wow, my expectations were blown away- we were one of the top five releases on the site for a whole week! Thanks for showing so much love to this little indie project.
In the meantime, we have some bug fixes!
- Combination lock on Old Garage will no longer rarely unlock when incorrect combination is put in
- Fixed collision on the Forest Path during second chase sequence
- Improved lighting in several areas
- Flashlight battery no longer drains quickly when button is spammed
Unfortunately, you’ll notice one specific bug missing from the list- the glitchy textures that occasionally appear. Yeah, sorry, me and the team have been baffled by it. We know it’s impacting some players’ enjoyment of the game, and we apologize. We hope to get it patched by next week, along with a bevy of other fixes.
Thanks again, and remember…the Butcher knows what you did 😉
1.2 Build
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here. First off, thanks for keeping the hype going. It’s honestly surreal that it’s taken off like this.
Second, I figured I’d start off with the bad news. No, the texture issue has not been resolved. We’re really sorry to hear some players have been disturbed by them. For what it’s worth, we have no idea how those images ended up in the files. I want to promise: we would never intentionally use images that so closely resemble real gore in this game, and we are working around the clock to purge them.
I also wanted to quickly address that the other devs are taking a social media break. They’re fully focused on fixing the game, as well as taking time for themselves after the intensive development.
With that…fixes!
- Improved Butcher’s AI in the Abandoned Factory scene
- Hiding places will no longer rarely force you out as soon as you enter
- Removed anomalous Butcher voicelines (Yeah, IDK what this was. Maybe the other devs recorded themselves as a joke and forgot to remove them? LOL)
- You can no longer clip through the walls in the Cabin
Thanks again, and remember…the Butcher knows what you did 😉
1.3 Build
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here. Sorry this patch is a bit late. Truth be told, I’ve been sleeping poorly lately, which has been causing me to sleep in. I’ll try to be better- gotta stay on that grind.
I also wanted to address the fucked-up rumors that I’ve seen in the forums. Yes, the other developers have been offline for a while. No, that does not mean “something terrible” has happened to them. Sometimes people just need to detox from online, you know? This community has always had a paranoia problem, seeing the worst possible outcome, like the incident from a few months ago. No need to freak out every little thing.
Well, enough ranting from me. Behold, bug fixes!
- Fixed glitch that caused shotgun shells to appear too frequently in containers
- Butcher’s axe now properly updates with bloodstains to reflect the amount of kills
- Glitchy textures featuring realistic gore have been removed
That’s right! We finally squashed that pesky bug! Your patience was appreciated.
Thanks again, and remember…the Butcher knows what you did 😉
1.4 Build
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here. Well, I knew I shouldn’t have brought up the incident. Look, I addressed it then, and I’ll address it again here. I did not “put undue pressure on” my fellow devs. They were not planning some “expose” about me. Some cryptic posts on their social medias that could be interpreted a number of ways do not prove anything. That is the last that I will say on the topic.
The actually true bad news is that the glitchy textures are back, along with the Butcher’s weird voice lines. I’ve been working round the clock to fix them. In the meantime, while I hope people were always doing this, just ignore them. Don’t read into them.
- Decreased fog near the Lake
- Slightly improved pistol firing speed
- Slightly decreased slowness effect of mud
- Spamming the jump button can no longer be used to phase through walls
Thanks again, and remember…the Butcher knows what you did.
NOT A BUILD
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here…GOD. COULD YOU ALL JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. I’m working everyday to make the game the best it can possibly be, and what do I get? Insane conspiracies that I “did something” to my fellow devs?? Think realistically, do you really think I’m capable of that?? The idea that just because this game is important to me, and I wouldn’t want them to ruin it with some half-baked controversy, I WOULD KILL THEM???? Fuck off, you weirdos.
A SPECIAL TREAT
Hey, everyone, ZachDev here. I’ve calmed down, and wanted to share something cool with you. I guess you could consider them the patch notes for a last second update I did before release. Enjoy! 🙂

You understand why, right? They were nothing but lazy losers whose leashes I had to tug just to get them to work half as hard as I do. I did them a favor, made them part of the best indie game of the year, and how do they repay me? SAY THEY’RE GONNA GET ME CANCELED AS SOON AS MY MAGNUM OPUS RELEASES.
They left me no choice.
I found an axe in my garage, and made it quick and painless.
Yes, that’s what’s left of them in the glitchy textures. No, I didn’t put them there. They were SUPPOSED to remain secret. EVEN AFTER THEY DIED, THEY STILL FOUND A WAY TO FUCK ME OVER.
I imagine people are gonna call the cops on me. Fine. I’ll run. It doesn’t matter. All I ever wanted was this game to release, and now it has. Hell, maybe the publicity from all this will make it sell better.
Thanks again, and remember…the Butcher knows wha
