We are saying goodbye to our near and dear cyberpunk levels, in order to make space for the new chapter in this blog - say hello to the Tropical Island levels!

For this category, we wanted it to feel very welcoming. We expressed vibrant colors, numerous animals and the backgrounds were made to emphasize the door, not clash with it. Today we are covering Pirate Bay - a well-known level to all the Demo players and streamers.

We chose Pirate Bay to represent our game for a few reasons - firstly, we are really proud of it. Just like any other self-respecting studio, we have a few favorites from our arsenal of various creations and we are proud to say that Pirate Bay is one of them. Secondly, this was the only level from the Tropical Islands, which was a bit darker in both looks and feels. Since it was a pirate island full of not-so-hidden treasures, we also expressed moodiness through the starless night sky. One could even imagine you, the player, were trying to rob the pirates while they were sleeping or off on their misadventures. And lastly, we just think it’s a fun level to play. :)

In the picture below are visible a number of colored items - a bunch of weird donuts, a green stick, a pink stick and some skulls on the wall. You might think they are part of a big gameplay mechanic or a crazy, wild idea we had during the conception phase, but there is a little catch here.
Our artists have developed a way to help the brainstorming process by incorporating random items and trinkets into the doors, which may or may not be liked by the designers, thus giving them reasons to agree or disagree with the prototypes presented. Explained simply, artists put as many nonsensical objects into concepts, because it helps with idea generation and creativity.




Expanding on the previous Doors chapters, we really wanted to impress with good progression of the door - how many cinematic cutscenes to include and how the door evolves throughout the level was essential. The hole under the anchor was decided to be kind of like a fishing spot for items or those arcade hook games, which (un)surprisingly never caught a single plushie.
As it can be seen, the anchor served the purpose of being added inside a cutscene with the help of a trusty table getting shattered to pieces. The seahorse head was added later to resemble old time ship figure heads such as mermaids and dragons.



When the background was added, we had to reimagine the platforms of the whole category, because its previous design was already submerged in water. So we simply removed the water and bottom platform, so we can leave the two legs standing naturally on the shallow coast and make the debris from the table get submerged as the table gets destroyed. The seamless additions such as the waves slightly crashing on the stone bank and the fire light reflecting off of the gold coins were definitely making the level much more atmospheric than its mobile counterpart.



Any Demo player would already know how the level ends.. and hey, if YOU haven't played Pirate Bay, what are you waiting for? The ending of this level has always been a fun one to watch for us. Being fans of plot twists and unexpected outcomes, blowing up the pirate treasure definitely felt out of the box while we were prototyping. Despite the fact, we believe the real treasure of this level simply flew away.. ːsteamhappyː

It's almost time!

Blossom Tales 2 arrives next week! What better way to celebrate than by talking a bit more about some fun characters you'll meet and the new abilities they'll teach you...



One of the most exciting new features is alchemy, which allows you to brew 10 unique potions out of over 40 collectables found throughout the world. Keep an eye out for witch huts to learn new potions!



The magic hot air balloon is also a fun addition, which lets you quickly revisit areas you've explored. Summon the Sky Wizard's gift to anywhere on the map by learning one of the many special songs taught by the magic bards. One song even lets you wake up the heaviest of sleepers, which will come in handy for both the main story and side-quests.



Speaking of side-quests, we hope you check them out to meet some of our favourite characters. The colosseum announcer is particularly hilarious, and the mail quest is well worth it, not just for the amazing reward you get at the end. Sleeping mermaids, chipmunk kings, troll hunters — there's plenty more for Lily to do when she needs a break from kicking minotaur butt!

We can't wait for you to dive into our newest adventure! In the meantime please smash that wishlist button, tell your friends about Blossom Tales 2 and don't forget to tag us on Twitter with any fan art.

Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur King arrives on August 16th on Steam and {LINK REMOVED}Nintendo Switch!

We're now one week away from the co-op and conquest update release!

In a feat of excellent timing, I've spent most of the last three weeks sick with Covid, from which I'm still recovering. Still, the release can go ahead. It's been getting beta tested for the last several months, and I'm confident it's pretty solid by now.

Of course there will be bugs - there always are. If you find one, don't despair, come over to the Discord and report it in the bugs channel, or drop me an email.

I am really excited that you soon all get to play the version I've been working towards for the last four years.

Following a number of accidents involving the misuse of autonomous weapons, all the licenced pilots operating in the Enceladus space are required to undergo annual training on the operation of autonomous targeting systems. While the Enceladus Corp spokesman claims that the sole purpose of the training is to increase the safety of the station occupants, a number of mining guilds protest this mandatory activity as an additional thinly veiled tax imposed by the station.



A new community patch to the infamous autonomous EIAA-1337 autopilot reached a release candidate stage today. Taking advantage of the MIT licence of the software, a group of developers introduced an overhaul to the notoriously sparse visual interface of the device in order to expose its internal decision process. The merge request quotes a capability to “finally understand what the damaged thing is trying to do and perhaps not fly with your finger on the power switch all the time”. Elon Interstellar already integrated the changes into their next OTA update.



Researchers led by Dr Bostrom announced today a new breakthrough in the field of simulation theory; the idea that we live in a universe run as an immensely complex simulation. New experiments seem to bind well-known quantum phenomena with the simulation theory, suggesting that the universe seems to be approximating the quantum results when no one is observing them. Dr Bostrom suggests that we could abuse observed phenomenons to introduce additional shortcuts in quantum reasoning algorithms, significantly increasing the computing capacity of modern devices.

• Added the Pilot tab, with a full-screen LIDAR, the ability to hail ships and configure the Identify Friend and Foe settings for your ship.
  
• New Tactical Awareness markers for friendly and hostile ships, as identified by your onboard IFF, make it easy to spot hostiles on screen and estimate the damage inflicted.
  
• EIAA-1337 autonomic autopilot is now equipped with visual feedback exposing the internal decision processes of the system.
  
• Extended Point Defence targeting protocol, with tuneable targeting criteria, ability to ignore obscured targets and optimize the turret turn ratio.
  
• Enhanced the Geologist Mineral Markers. Your ship can now display 400% more and when they overflow, the marker with the least value is expired first, making the marker display more consistent and useful when mining overzealously.
  
• Performance improvements for both the Enceladus station and the Rings.
  
• A number of stability upgrades.
  
• Radiators of Antonoff-Titan K225 will not remain on screen when the ship is exploding.
  
• After an astrogation jump, ships and stations could ignore you if you arrived in their comms range.
  
• Adjusted the hearing-impaired visual aid on the edges of the screen to be more subtle - in line with the music shifts that they are representing.
  
• Improved AI collision prediction. Both NPC ships and autonomic autopilots are now better at detecting collisions and can navigate better around large objects. Your pilot's adrenaline boost will also not trigger so often when you navigate around large objects.
  
• HUD size slider can make the HUD even bigger now, which is useful on vertical displays.
  
• A side-mounted Cargo Container or Mining Companion would appear to be above an SPC Gungnir assembly.
  
• Game engine updated to Godot 3.5, bringing new performance features, asynchronous shader compilation and the latest stability enhancements.
  
• Using the kinetic point defence turrets now counts towards the achievement. This change is retroactive.
  
• Improved the error reporting handler.
  
• Fixed a display glitch on the cargo bays mineral scanner display.
