PARKSIDE: Decayed Soul Manipulation Dev Acknowledges Bugs, Promises Patches
One and a half days after launch, the solo developer behind PARKSIDE: Decayed Soul Manipulation has posted a community update addressing early bugs and outlining the pace of ongoing fixes.
The post, written by developer "banana," confirms that bug reports have been collected into a list and that the developer is actively reading and responding to feedback. A "couple of initial patches" are acknowledged as already having shipped, though no specific fixes are detailed in the announcement.
What changed
- Bug reports have been logged; developer is responding to as many as possible
- Initial patches have already been pushed since launch
- Further patches and bugfixes are planned over the coming week, subject to the developer's availability
- Community discussion is directed toward the Steam discussion board and a Discord server
The developer is candid about bandwidth constraints: alongside development, they work full time and have a child, leaving only limited evening hours for patching on weekdays.
Notably, the developer expresses pride in shipping a "pretty much finished experience" without using Early Access — framing the post-launch fixes as polish rather than a structural catch-up.
For players currently experiencing issues, the honest takeaway is that fixes are coming but will arrive gradually, with weekends likely the most productive windows for meaningful updates.
