A new update has been pushed with a lighter feel to the GUI and a lot of new story content added. The new party members have been added and the story fleshed out greatly. Also the order of rooms has been changed to aid in the pacing of the game. All in all I think the game has just about tripled in length since it was introduced into Early Access. Thanks to all who are giving me feedback and En…
New Quadrant style Puzzle Added to the Game along with various bug fixes and changes to the GUI and the collision detection for the puzzles in preparation for the next major content update of the story.
Bug with the second Comptroller puzzle has been fixed. Thank you to all who are bringing these issue to my attention, and I apologize for taking a few days to fix the problem. Let me know of any further issues.
A new build is live with various bug fixes and the addition of the latest hybrid puzzle. Unfortunately, in it's last build, the engine I was using changed how it handled the layering of objects, and essentially broke the build of my game. I think I've fixed them all, but let me know in the forum if you encounter any graphical glitches. They don't seem to effect the way the game runs, but they c…
I've launch an Indiegogo campaign to help fund the development of this project. I wish I could just continue to do it all with any additional funds, but in order to complete the project in a timely manner I could use the funding. I have also created a much shorter demo in Android and windows format with 1/3 of the puzzles and 1/3 of the story content to use for the campaign. This demo will be s…
The Audio has been updated so there is no more need to mute the audio if you want to Stream the game. All the work and credit goes to the team at Orb Soundwerx and Saad Akhter Ali for their compositions. They have absolutely TRANSFORMED the tone of this game and I am very thankful for their work.
GUI updated to a new graphic style. Save/Load function has been fixed for multiple plays. Three new puzzles added to the Game, and the distribution of the puzzles between cut scenes has been changed. Map system simplified to match the auto-saving system.
Video of game play footage of the newest puzzle for Tessa's Ark is up on YouTube and Twitter. More puzzles will be coming in the next content update. A link to the YouTube Video is below.
I've been very lucky to enlist the extremely talented team over ot Orb Soundwerx to produce a new original score for the opening of the game and the official Trailer. Thanks to the Orb team for their assistance and future guidance on this project.
A new Build has been uploeaded with controller support with a radial menu and animated color bars on the right side added to the Options Menu. Various bug fixes to the audio volume and adjustment to the layering and polish on the HUD graphics. New trailer updated with music now matching the current State of the Game.
Major update to the menu system with a graphics and functionality overhaul. Additional controller support added throughout the game. Leveling system fixed and separated into pages. Perk names defined.
It appears I fixed one thing and messed up another in a recent build. The error regarding the Voltage readout on the second puzzle not showing up is corrected. Apologies to all effected. Edit: Bug where Voltage Underrun doesn't trigger on first puzzle is also fixed. Thanks to the user who brought these issues to my attention. Edit: Graphical Bug on Voltage Over-run on Second puzzle fixed.
Update Notes: The offending Music Has Been Removed and the framerate cap moved to 60 FPS. PC Master Race Rejoice! Hopefully the problem has been solved until I can get a proper sound designer. Let me know if any other problems occur. Edit: To ensure you're able to monetize your coverage, go in to the options and mute the music before you Stream. The sound effects will still be audible. Sorry fo…
It has come to my attention that copyright claims have been getting issued on coverage for this game on YouTube and Twitch. I have spoken with the company I obtained the music from, and while it is licensed correctly, the claims are automated and being made by third parties, and unfortunately neither I or AudioBlocks has any ability to intervene. So for now if you plan on streaming the game PLE…
