Dear Song of Horror fans,

We have listened to your opinions about permadeath and, following our April's poll results, we have added a new game mode to Song of Horror!

Named after the famous gothic author, E.T.A. Hoffmann is a new difficulty option where there is no permadeath. In this mode, players can choose another character or re-start from the last checkpoint when a character dies. The Presence will also have the same difficulty level as MR James.

Song of Horror was designed to be a challenging, scary experience where permadeath is essential. We want you to feel the true fear and pressure of losing a character forever, that every action you take has a meaningful impact, that mistakes have real consequences... But also, that these consequences promote changing characters and experiencing Song of Horror from different perspectives.

However, we understand that every player is different. Some of you wanted to enjoy the story and gameplay of Song of Horror without permadeath getting in your way.

Stay safe everyone!

There is nothing more marvelous or madder than real life.

Hello everyone, sorry for being quiet lately.

We are pushing super hard to bring you a playable Alpha.

First thing first:
We've recently set up a Discord server where you can ask us CBH related questions or make fun with other people.
Feel free to join:
Discord: https://discord.gg/PGx7xGF

And now creme the la creme
Our new map





Not everything is perfect yet, but those screenshots reflect the quality that we are aiming for.
Still missing several assets/animations and polish here and there.

Let us know if you enjoy them, each feedback is priceless for us.
There's still a time to fix/change/polish certain kinds of stuff.

Ofc our balls have to fight somewhere:




These are examples of our battle arenas - they will be launched depending on which Biom you fight on.
*We have intentionally disabled autonomously generated objects like stones or trees.

New units animation:





Of course, those are examples, soon we'll show you way more units.

The fight obviously requires the use of a lot of spells, here you go:





That's only the beginning.

Progress

Ok, what's the current progress of the game?
In about 1 month + - we will have a playable Alpha ready to go.
After that, fast Q&A and we'll set up a Kickstarter campaign.
It will also be the moment when you gonna have a chance to get access to the cheaper version of the game & Alpha Keys.

That's all, for now, folks.
Thanks for being with us and keep warm.
Our next post will focus mainly on playable factions.

Yeah... and who hasn't?

Sooner or later you will need to tame the beast called: UNITY.


You probably have loads of questions: how, why, where to begin etc.?


Check out the answers in the latest mad dev-vlog:

So comment, ask, like and subscribe. And if you still have not added Gallic Wars - Battle Simulator to your wishlist - DO IT!

If you have any questions about the game we invite you to Gaming Factory S.A. discord channel

Based on feedback from our community, instead of charging 74.99 USD for all the Episodes, it was determined it was best to drop the price to 14.99 USD during Early Access, for only Episode 1, as the success of EP1 will determine if there will be future episodes.

This is more of a pre-alpha Pilot episode, and with the help of the community, we can make it really rock, and continue to release and support future episodic content, and eventually PVP and MMO (This price may change in the future)

We may offer Bundle packages, and other custom and exclusive digital rewards on Kickstarter (TBD)


Our team has rebrand our company to Nefarious Dimensions interactive Games (NDiG) while we prepare our upcoming Kickstarter to help fund and complete our Pre-Alpha, and then launch from Early Access.



We truly value and listen to our community, hang out, help develop, join free for discussions here

Help with our Kickstarter on Discord, as we apply for more grants and seek investments to complete ARM EP1 to the highest quality, we are not giving up, apologies for the delay and any technical issues, we will be addressing them as soon as we start paying our developers.

Thank you for your support and patience!


Sincerely,
NDiG Crew

In one of the Zone places the Hunters discovered a large cluster of mutants, which will soon pose a huge threat to the hunter camp in the Tunguska swamps. Requests for help were sent to all stalkers of the Zone.

31.05.2020, from 15:00 to 17:00 (by Moscow time), clear the Zone from the usual (not rare, not "killers") mutant jellies. Any help is appreciated anywhere in the Zone, however, the hunters report that they saw jellies at the Tunguska location, D4 square, and the near swamps.

To get points you need to hunt mutants, whose killing brings you more than 5 EXP.

To win shoot most jelly mutants in the allotted time.

Rewards:

1 place: Vepr-12 Shotgun
2 place: Cynologist Suit (S-Camo) (without timer)
3 place: Box of Humanitarian Aid - 10 pcs.

Any stalker from main servers (RU, PvP, PvE), who get into top-30 and defeat more than 10 jellies, will receive 20 A-Zone pins.
