Hey everyone,
My next game Chionophile is going to be released very soon!

If you liked Bottle, you're probably going to love Chionophile. The music score was composed and performed by Pınar Karabaş. You'll wander inside a beautiful world that presents a nice poem.



The second chapter takes place in an open area so you can move faster and going to have the ability to easily reveal the points of interest in the game area.

You can check out the store page from below, so don't forget to add it to your wishlist!

Hey Pilots!

We're swinging through to give you an update on PACER and the brand new launch date!



There was a BIG spoiler in the title of the article (being the actual date), but if you missed it, the PACER team are incredibly excited and happy to announce that PACER will be launching October 29th 2020.

We can't wait to get you out on the track next week.

We hope you enjoy the immense amount of love poured into PACER by all on the team at R8Games!

See you out there, Pilot!

- TEAM PACER

When the moonlight of the silent night receded quietly, when the fog gradually dissipated after the heavy rain
The last song of that midsummer night is over
The poet is still singing, singing to the lofty mountains, singing to the sinister waters
But the dream-seeking traveler just took care of the scars and dust on his body, and then set off on his journey again
Because we know it

The course of true love never did run smooth.

Travelers through the fog will not get lost because of the loss of the beacon, and will not easily stop their steps.
Cross midsummer, caress the autumn breeze, and see the rising winter in the distance. Thanks for these days, every player's understanding and company.



We expect that the game will be updated on October 20th, Beijing time [15:00] (East Eighth Time Zone), and this update is expected to last 1 hour. During the update, if you are still playing the game, the game may freeze and save temporarily. These problems will be resolved after the update is over and you log in to the Steam platform again.

The specific content of this update is:
1. Fixed the voice problem of individual characters
2. Fixed the bug that the Japanese version would get stuck in the plot of Chapter 6
3. In the CG Appreciation interface, a new CG image has been added. This CG image will be available after you purchase the "Summer of the Mist"【迷雾之夏The Vigilant Villa-方时 莫朵 刘志宏番外】【迷雾之夏The Vigilant Villa-陈默 佟梦 何陆洋 番外】【迷雾之夏The Vigilant Villa-叶冰 艾米 臧伟 贾文桦番外】 These three DLCs will be unlocked

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Maximilian Sommer shows what it's like to rule the skies! Watch him take out plane after plane.


Another image from our discord, this time from user MrStoner86 showing off a lovely US tank formation. Thank you for this weeks featured image!

Why do we always need images of action? Let's take a look at this lovely bunch, driving (yes you heard me) around over the sea.



Some prefer to stay away from the water though and just chill on the back of a GAZ.



Why have one cool video from a pilot, when you can have two! HeneX has shot some awesome footage in the air, be sure to check it out!


Why would that silly man throw grenades into the river, like that's going to do anything!

“He is throwing grenades, this dumb***” he said..

Hello again gardeners!

We are happy to announce the launch of the Merchant patch onto our Experimental Branch! If you have time to go test it out, please do!

Since this is the Experimental Branch, please be aware that some bugs are expected and that there’s an increased risk of game breaking situations occurring. This branch is mostly for all of you who want to try all the newest things and help us out with making everything as awesome as possible for the main branch release!

How to switch to the Experimental Branch:
Note: Exact names of the options to press might differ depending on your Steam language settings.

1. Right click 'Garden of the Sea' in your Steam Library list and select 'Properties...'
   
2. Go the tab 'BETAS'
   
3. In the drop-down menu, select "experimental - Development branch"
   
4. The game should then start an update in order to download the new branch
   
5. When the update is finished, just run the game and start playing!

Remember: If you later want to go back to the regular branch you will have to repeat the above steps and re-select "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs".

This patch is sadly not going to be compatible with your earlier saves. Even if they might load for you, many features might be broken and we can’t guarantee what the experience might be. We strongly recommend that you create a new save to ensure that everything works as intended.

Hey everyone,

Gone Fireflies has a brand new logo and a stunning new cover artwork coming from the very talented My Phuoc Anime.

The game has also receive a tiny update with the new logo, some dialogues changes as well as some minor visual updates.

That's it for me, I hope you're all doing well and staying safe during this tumultuous year.

Best Wishes,

Hi everyone! This is Ilya, lead developer of the Crushed project. Today I will tell you how the development is progressing and what has been done recently.


We are almost done with the day / night cycle. It was quite difficult to work with it, but we did it and are happy to share the results of the work done.







Work on the farm system is also ongoing. At the time of the release of the alpha version, one plant culture, tissue, will be available.




We have introduced special labels, the icon of which will be visible across the entire map, so that you can mark the unique and necessary places for you. Also in the future we will add the ability to change the color of this label.



Thank you for your attention. We are waiting for your feedback in the comments.

Hello everyone,

Following our previous posts on the new content and the system changes, we wanted to share with you what some of the “end game” can look like with ScourgeBringer.

Once you complete the main game by beating the Ordeal once, you can unlock what we call “The Chaos Root”.



In this, there will be 10 modifiers that can tweak your own challenge within this place.
- Blood: tweak the amount of blood dropped
- Enemies: tweak the aggressivity of enemies and bosses
- Realms: tweak the size of Realms
- Max HP: tweak the maximum starting HP
- HP: tweak the health items drop rate

- Challenges:
- Oppression: enemy waves start to appear before the previous one has been cleaned
- Danger: traps will deal more than 1 HP of damage
- Jump: staying on ground for more than 1 second will inflict damage
- Escalation: for each beaten Realm, each inflicted damage is increase by 1

Beside these hefty challenges, we also revisited the early game difficulty by hopefully smoothing it out for a more welcome introduction into the ScourgeBringer.

Beyond all of this new content, we also focused on polishing other aspects of the games. For instance, the lore and logs have been fully refreshed and enhanced for a more compelling involvement in the story. New mysteries will await you…



In our pursue of improvements, small things also got a boost, like quality of improvements such as quick bonus feedback (it’s in the small things, right?):



Pfeww, that was a lot. We’re now all geared up for the release!

See you in two days for the full release of ScourgeBringer!

As always, feel free to join our Discord and enjoy hanging out with us :)
