Hello everyone,

The 0.44 update brings French & German localization to Spirited Thief AND full gamepad support!

Spirited Thief will now try to use your system's language by default. Of course, you can change your preferred language at any time in the options menu.

We did a lot of under-the-hood changes to provide proper support to gamepad. Some of the new features will also benefits mouse and keyboard users. For example, the UI can now be fully used with a keyboard or a gamepad.



A new ability wheel allows quick access to every trick of your thieves.



We also reworked the shop UI for better navigation and clarity.

That's all for today. Thank you for reading!

Hey Everyone,

We've been hard at work again, and this new build took a bit longer because Unity decided to make an update to their newly acquired collaborative workflow software PlasticSCM, now known as Unity Version Control System - and it stopped us dead in our tracks. Despite support's best efforts, we couldn't continue for a couple of days and even lost a bit of work. Not to whine (too much), but these are things you have to keep up with as a small developer, on top of everything else, like nasty SteamVR updates for example, which also caused us quite a bit of trouble lately.

But anyway, let's get to the good news already! Of course we implemented lots of improvements across all areas of the game, be it graphics, sound, narration, bug fixing and even whole game systems. The most noticable upgrade in that regard is probably that we completely revamped the "snow cover testing" mini game. In our opinion, it's much more fun, and even more life-like now, as this technique is really used in the assessment of avalanche risks.

Another big thing is that we've introduced visual feedback to our communications system. People had complained that they keep forgetting if you have to press the speech button once or twice to say "yes" or "no" … and voila, now you get a reminder each time Vreni asks you something. But that is not all! To give you a bit of feedback whenever Vreni stores some information about you in her head, depending on your answers or actions, the game now tells you that

VRENI WILL REMEMBER THIS.

So in good old telltale tradition, this will keep you guessing if it was good or bad thing you said or did, hehhe.

We're hoping you'll have lots of fun with this version of the game. Overall, most of the important stuff on our to-do-list has been completed by now, so aside from the minor things still to do, there is mostly graphical work to be done to further round out the game. Of course, a dream of ours would be to add even more dialogue from Vreni, but since we'd have to pay our wonderful actress Kimberly for that, it's something we can't really do unless we finally make some money from the game. So if you like it, please recommend it to your friends.

And as always, our offer still stands that if you help us out with bug reports or reviews, we have some keys for other SteamVR games to give away! Visit our Discord for details & the list of games we have currently available:

Greetings, survivors! We're thrilled to announce the latest update for Last Whisper Survival, packed with exciting new features and improvements to enhance your survival experience. Let's dive into the details:






New Vehicles and Car Horns:
Get ready to explore the post-apocalyptic world in style with the addition of new 2-seater and 4-seater cars! These vehicles not only allow you to cover ground faster but also come equipped with horns, adding a new level of communication and fun.





Revamped Quest System:
Now, some quests will require you to reach specific waypoints instead of collecting items, giving you more flexibility in how you approach challenges.

Expanded Item Variety:
We've added more items throughout the maps to enrich your scavenging experience. Discover new resources and tools to aid you in your quest for survival.

The Vast Desert Awaits:
Prepare for a new biome in the game – the scorching desert! Navigate the sands, face unique challenges, and seek rare resources that can only be found in this unforgiving environment.

Embrace the Coastal Life:
As you explore the world, you'll now encounter coastal areas with pristine beaches and water bodies. Watch out for potential dangers but also enjoy the serenity of these new locations.

Upgraded Weapon Arsenal:
Take your combat skills to the next level with new tiers (7) of shotgun and pistol weaponry. Gear up and make those zombies think twice before attacking you!

Zombie Effects and Behavior:
The undead have become more fearsome with this update. They now display gruesome effects such as blood splatters and losing body parts upon being hit. However, they can no longer lose their legs and right arms, making each encounter more strategic.




Improved Camp Items:
Camps are now more diverse, with a wider array of items available for you to find and use. Build and fortify your bases with newfound resources.

Interactive Tree Hits:
Interact with the environment in a more immersive way with the new effect on hitting trees. Experience realistic reactions as you gather resources for your survival.

Enhanced Desert Roads:
Traverse the desert more efficiently with the addition of roads, making your journey through this vast landscape a bit smoother.

Flip Cars with Precision:
Utilize the 'Z' input to flip overturned cars back on their wheels. Master this skill to escape tricky situations and continue your journey without delay.

Dynamic Weather and Lighting:
Prepare for a more immersive experience as we've overhauled the weather system and lighting. Brace yourself for changing conditions that can influence your survival strategy.

New Routes to the City:
Discover new roads leading to the city, providing alternate paths to explore and loot.

Loot Overhaul:
To increase the challenge, we've balanced loot distribution. Expect more loot items inside houses and camps but a reduced number of loot opportunities in boxes and other containers.

Expanded Armor Options:
Equip yourself with the latest armor sets designed for both men and women, giving you more choices to create your unique survivalist look.



We hope you're as excited as we are about this update. The team has put in countless hours to bring you these new features and improvements. Your feedback is invaluable to us, so please share your thoughts on our social media platforms or the official discord.

📖 We are excited to announce that Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out, will be releasing on August 21st on PC and Mac via Steam as well as iOS devices!

Watch the latest trailer on Youtube:



In Lights Going Out, you can continue a game you began in Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind, or start a new story in this Great Darkness.

Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out is immensely replayable, with over 600(!) interactive scenes with multiple, system-driven outcomes. Short episodes and automatic saving mean you can play even when you only have a minute or two. The built-in saga records your story for you, while advisors help you track your promises, though their personalities will often judge your actions.



Miracles have always required sacrifice. Now, your people need them more than ever, but the costs are higher, too. Is it worth aiding the destructive gods of Chaos to ensure your own survival?

For more information on Six Ages, visit https://www.sixages.com/ and follow the developers on Twitter


Cheers,
Alexandra

Here is another small update with mostly bug fixes and one requested change: settings for how the turn keys work! Due to my limited skills and how the game is coded, I won't be able to do full control remapping, but I hope those settings helps people who had trouble with the default turning behavior!

Hello Ocean friends,

It’s time for another instance of marine facts!




Despite their tree-like appearance, corals are in fact animals and a close parent of sea anemones.



Microids and Magic Pockets have worked closely with experts from Cetasea, an association working to create a European network of marine mammal refuges, to ensure in game data accuracy.
