Greetings earthlings,
I hope you are doing well!

I'm currently in the last phase before releasing the play test build. The only thing left to do is to make the HUD/GUI compatible with smaller screens. You can scale the HUD to your liking in the game settings. It's not long before I'll announce the release date for the play test build! Keep in touch!

Also, if not already, please link yourself up to all social media platforms to stay up-to-date.

If you guys have any other questions, i'd love to answer them.
Stay good, stay fresh and stay healthy!

Cheers,
Bryan

Good day adventurers,

It has almost been a week since we brought Across the Obelisk out of Early Access and released the 1.0 version of the game. The reception from the community has been amazing and we are so happy with how everything has been going so far.


This week we broke our previous concurrent player record by a huge amount, putting our peak concurrent player numbers at over 14k! That is so many of you playing our game, so thank you for the support and interest. We hope that you’re having a great time with it and discovering new builds, strategies, and evolving to greater challenges in Across the Obelisk.

We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so it would be fantastic if you could leave a review or drop by our Discord feedback channel. We read through all of the feedback so that we can continue to make this game the best that we can and make sure that we focus our efforts on things that matter to our community.


Our Discord community is growing so much. We have at 12:00 CEST (noon) 50+ players in multiple voice channels playing the game, forging new friendships, and traversing Across the Obelisk together. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to find new folks to make friends with and join in multiplayer co-op games.

There is also a “Helper” role that has a wonderful group of individuals who have been with us since very early on that will happily answer any questions that you may have regarding various aspects of the game.

We also have the core development team active in Discord and Paradox Arc’s community team. We ask that you do not @ mention our development team directly as we are busy working on future updates for the game, but we will all be on hand to help out as much as possible in the public channels.

We will have to start to make some changes in the Discord server to make things a little bit easier and smoother for everyone (all good, we assure you!), as well as leverage the tools that Discord has provided to make the experience even more enjoyable and streamlined for the entire community.

You can join the Discord server here.


We launched the game’s version 1.0 with a discount of 25% and we hope that everyone has been taking advantage of that! The sale is running for exactly one week since launch, so will end Tuesday 23 August at 17:00 CEST. If you have been on the fence and put the game on your wishlist, this is the time to capitalize on the deal and jump into Across the Obelisk.

Once again, thank you so much for this incredible week of the game's official launch!

Pack your backpacks with everything you need, it's time to go to the mysterious island for adventure! We tried very hard to create an open world for you, full of interesting events and activities.





Making a game with a small indie team is quite difficult, we took into account the feedback of each player. And now the time has come. Some moments you will be able to fully experience in the coming updates, but in the meantime, enjoy sleepless nights of survival in Outbreak Island: Pendulum!



You can leave all your wishes in the discussions, we read them with pleasure and find out what turned out well, and what else is worth working on!

Now you can craft and build "Hubs" or rooms on to your station to make your home in space that much larger.

5 Different Hubs have been added to the game.
They are as follows

• Small hubs with all Doors, It can be built on from all side.
  
• Small Hub with All Windows, Enjoy the view from the many view points.
  
• Small Hub With both. These allow for building off the sides but offer viewing from the front.
  
• Small Air Locks. These allow you to leave and enter the ship from other places,
  
• Medium Hub. This is a much larger hub with plenty of space to fill as you see fit.

Along with the Hubs a few buildable signs have been added to help make life easier.

To prevent you from getting lost in a maze of your own creation, an exit sign has been introduced. post these next to the doors leading your nearest air lock. Or post an Arrow sign pointing back to the main Hub.
Lastly, a customizable sign has been added. Build it to label rooms, objects or anything you wish.


Pop Up Text has been reworked to provide better performance as well as a better experience for the player.

• Generalized "lower terrain" similar to the mid-level in lava/chasm. Cosmetic and unwalkable versions. (PR #6927)

• Updated translations: Arabic, British English, Bulgarian, Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Finnish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil)

• Add the pre_attack event.

• Implemented logging to file for Linux and macOS, and enabled it be default for Steam Linux.
  
• Fixed drake flare leadership animation over water (issue #3996)
  
• Fixed animations not clearing properly when zoomed (issues #6589, #6891, #6892)
  
• Fixed inconsistent cropping of unusually-sized item images (issue #6118)
  
• Fixed the `{IS_HERO}` macro to avoid losing the hero ellipse when a unit levels up

Minor fix in fish spawning mechanism.
