Hello everyone!
A lot has been happening over the past few days, mostly personal life issues taking over together with the usual holiday craziness. Still, we were pushing through and working on new cutscenes and quest content (still unvoiced) for the next patch.
Unfortunately, we realised that to release the update by Saturday, we would need to crunch a lot and decided that it would be best to take some rest, so next month we can start with a fresh mind and work more efficiently.<...

Hello everyone, we had some reports that during the massage scene and one other quest, there's an option that you choose that leads to nowhere and people have to start a new save.
I want to fix this issue and push it together with the new patch this week. Does anyone know what the options are that are causing the issue?
Thanks!
ps. We are adding a tester to the team so we can have an easier time tracking these types of issues, but he will only start in January.

Hello everyone, Corintio here!
Following the implementation of the new NPC character, Ilreth we also started to design a new combat style: Scythe!
And with that in mind, comes the very first question: How should Ilreth (And also Kalyskah) hold their scythe in combat?
I made a quick sketch of the three first ideas that came to my mind, feel free to vote!

Hello everyone, just wanted to share with you how Ilreth is turning out!
She's an artificer, and once we are done with the basic optimizations and review of other mechanics the game will have, she'll be able to upgrade Kalyskah's equipment during the prologue. Just like the blacksmith Fara will do in Millhaven (After we're done working on the prologue)!

Hello everyone, just passing by to say that we are alive and well!
This week we had two big team meetings so we could talk about migrating the project to Unreal Engine 5, the story, and what new features will be implemented by the time everything is done.
We have written down a few pages of topics we'll be going through during the first trimester of 2024 and right now we are formatting everything so, by January 1st, drop a colossal post here to let you know what is on our roadmap....

Hello everyone!
Today I have some exciting news to share!
We collaborated with the developer of the game Yuna, a third-person shooter in a post-apocalyptic world where Judy needs to struggle between pursuing her goal to find the mythical YUNA, scavenging ruins of a city, meeting people trying to live in a destroyed world and on top of that: Fighting her way through hordes of creatures that are after her flesh and well, the pleasures it can provide!

Hello everyone, Corintio here!
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who is supporting us through these tough times when we need to spend a lot of resources on the prologue. I believe things are taking really good shape and I'm very proud of the work that the team has been doing as well.
We are aware of performance issues, and we suspect that this is caused by the stress the AI is putting on the CPU —an issue carried over from the Legacy version. But don't worry, improving the AI a...

Hello everyone!
Here's a video showing a little of what we've been working on for the next patch. There will be some lines Kalyskah will say when she approaches Gremnoch (Later we'll work on animations for her to pet him) and now, the lower her compassion, the higher the chance of her having prisoners in her Dungeons!
We've been also working on new activities for you to find on the map, all with different choices and consequences!

Hello everyone, Corintio here!
Today I was entertaining the idea of how to improve the feel of Kalyskah's hunger. And then I went through old documents and was reminded of something:
Kalyskah is a monster. She needs an active effort to prevent herself from acting like one.
With that in mind, I started to wonder about ways to achieve this feeling and the answer was right in front of my face: The Tendency System!
So the idea is that compassion is ...

Devil's outfit rework
While one of our character artists works on new outfits for the civilians of the prologue era (expect some steampunk accessories, until then, the other character artists will be reviewing some of the outfits we already have. We hope to bring all the clothes to the same level of detail that the new sets will have. So we'll start with the devil's outfit:

Hello everyone!
I made a poll here yesterday but then ShroudedNight came up with a new idea that I actually liked a bit because it's somewhere in between Ilreth and Ireleth: Ilreleth!
So I closed the old poll and I'll ask here again, which do you prefer? But now with a third option!

Hello everyone!
When we were recording the scrips we noticed that as much as I love the name Ilreth, maybe Ireleth might roll easier on the tongue. But I like the way Ilreth is written more. So in doubt, I decided to leave this for you to decide!
So, should our elf be called Ilreth or Ireleth?

First off, we've got Kalyskah lined up for another comic crossover. I'm keeping things brief now, as it's still a work in progress. While we're handling the comic's writing, the heavy lifting in terms of artwork isn't being done by us, but by some really talented creators that we'll reveal more about soon! I've added a few sneak peek pictures to ...

Hello everyone, Corintio here!
The past few days have been full of ups and downs as we transported the game's code to Unreal Engine 5. But gladly, more ups than downs!
The engine is opening, we can press play on some of our test levels, but it's still a bit rough. There are some functionalities that will require more time to be fully working as intended. So, realising that we probably need another month or two to get Unreal 5 running in the shape we want it to run, we decided to l...

In the past few months, we've been working on the background to try and update our game from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5. This task has been challenging and we faced roadblocks from crashes while compiling the game's code, crashes on compiling plugins and the latest: crashes while opening the engine. The post today is quite technical, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask in the comments and I can explain.
