Hey adventurers,
We’ve been hard at work deep in the shadows of the underworld, and it’s time to unveil something we’ve been dying to show you (pun intended). Meet Gashodokuro — the towering skeletal monstrosity that awaits at the end of the SAK’D demo level.
This is our first major boss encounter, and while it’s still a work in progress, the bones are in place (literally). Gashodokuro is more than just a massive end-boss — he’s a test of everything you’ve learned in the demo, combining platforming, combat, timing, and a whole lot of guts (yours and his).
🛠️ Built With Grit, Not Gold
We want to be transparent: SAK’D is an ambitious indie project built by a passionate team with zero steady external funding. We’ve been extremely grateful for the occasional dose of private investment from generous friends and family, but otherwise running on our own steam. Every pixel, every animation, every line of code is the product of late nights, creative energy, and pure love for gaming. Despite the hurdles, we’re still here — still building, still fighting.
And honestly? It’s paying off.
The updated demo, featuring the full Gashodokuro boss battle, is shaping up to be smoother, more refined, and way more fun than our original showcase last year.
🎮 Catch It Live at Game Con Canada & GDX
We’re thrilled to announce that the updated demo will be playable at both Game Con Canada and GDX 2025. This will be the first time fans can experience the complete prequel chapter, including the climactic boss battle.
🔥 Yes — the current demo is a standalone prequel experience to the full game, and totally free to play.
