Hi, Rio here. Since this is a special moment, I’ll share not only the links but also the story of how it all began. Where to listen · On Steam the soundtrack is available as a separate app (MP3): 👉 Full Effect Soundtrack · Spotify — though in two parts. Why? Because the album includes a large number of tracks tied to in-game states. Each loop is arranged separately, and streaming platforms sim…
The forest and the water turned crimson, the sky - orange and the soil gone pale. Is this Halloween spirit or just a color saturation tweak? It's both. Even though the visual appearance is changed this update serves a little purpose, so it is mostly reskins, which is quite sad, since the game is still bareilly moddable and Halloween theme was supposed to be a demonstrator of custom campaign or…
Today is a special day, because 12 years ago under semi-uncertain circumstances I have created an Ages. But his (close to the) current appearance was formed somewhere after a month or so. Anyway... It's become a habit for me that by the end of the month I haven't finished the work I started before. And this month is no exception. I finally finished working with the scripting and trigger/event l…
The most major progress I've made this month is that I beat the game on Hard difficulty for a first time without mutators on NG. I obviously did it before release, and not even once, but with developer cheats for testing purposes. And it turned out exactly as I anticipated: it is as much more difficult than Normal as Normal is more difficult than Easy, with minimal damage and health modifiers.…
To make sure I remember how it works Changelog: - Fixed postprocessing in cinematics - Fixed incorrect render of electrospikes in Core - Removed random trigger positioning in the last section of Core (descent) - Fixed text render in "Loop playthrough" menu
I was doing good, until I got down on a topic that I afraid the most: scripting language and event language for zone editor. I was predicted that this would probably be the hardest part of working with the new zone editor, because in this case I need to create a small programming language. I mean the better version of what I have currently: This is an event that executes when you enter the zone…
Alrighty. Let's start with a pictures: These are "panoramas" of two zones of the original game. They were made using a new zone editor and should demonstrate that work on it is ongoing: the functionality is updated, tools are added, and the creation of zone panoramas, as well as the conversion of old zones to more functional format are among them. Panoramas looks presentable, but they're imperf…
The update that I wanted to finish at the end of April I ended up releasing at the beginning of June. It's like it goes on forever. I would have finish it earlier, but I really want to deal with it in a proper way so I don't have to return, and even if I could, with lesser trouble. And I need to, since I'm planning to add functionality for user campaign, including new map editor, as I mentioned…
In this month I've planned to update localization system: change files, tweak string loading and write a guide, but I got too adventurous and also decided to rework fonts, strings, tweak texture loading, config and file streams. Typical for me, when I snowball incoming changes and eventually delay update. Sadly, I couldn't finish it in April, and I'll try to release it next week. However, I mus…
I don't like making patches with minimal changes, but I must fix this obvious oversight. Next one may include tools for creating localization files. Feedback is welcome, give me reasons to make patches with more than two entries. Changelog: - Fixed intro cinematic screen - Changed camera position on lower floor rooms in Greywater
20 days after release, I lost my grip. Need to move on. The game is released, but the development continues, and it isn't particularly about patches that I rolled out before and I will probably roll out after. Before release I tried to make a base for supplemental content and I need to evaluate what I can add without major brutalizations of engine code. It may be a new campaign, items (especial…
Changelog: - Fixed achievement sync with Steam - Fixed borderless window mode reset on game start - Fixed display of progress if some achievements remained unveiled - Changed width of a jammer trigger in Hangar - Game will only pop-up error once if failed to create/reset BGM config file
Changelog: - Fixed incorrect hostage positioning in Greywater after saving - Hostages can no longer appear on a third floor in Greywater - Game will run properly if failed to generate GL Query object - Updated clouds background texture in cinematics - Fixed incorrect wood impact particles - Changed pop-up window titles - Updated localization files
