Suzerain - Torpor

Citizens of the Suzerainverse,
As the dawn of 2024 breaks, the All Torpor Games Team is thrilled to extend our warmest New Year greetings and share the excitement of forthcoming revelations.

Welcome to the January broadcast, where we'll unveil fresh treasures and exciting news that have been simmering behind the scenes!


We've kicked off 2023 with some fantastic strides in the development of our Kingdom of Rizia DLC. This month, we had an exciting, showcasing session at the Games Circle #3 event where we showcased the war mechanic. The feedback has been invaluable, steering the final UI adjustments and the crafting of an intuitive tutorial to make the experience more accessible. Meanwhile, audio has been working magic, enhancing game scenes with more dynamic music and carefully chosen sound effects to amp up the immersion.




The storyline development has been another key focus. We’ve been refining multiple storylines, ensuring they're not only compelling but also align beautifully with the overall game mechanics, like the royal decrees, armed forces, and war. Our narrative team is working hard to deliver a rich, engaging story that is both personal and political.

We've also hit a major milestone with the completion of our final character portrait for Rizia. This achievement sets the stage for developing better character customization assets for King Romus. We are gearing up for the second wave of closed testing, we’re honing in on the crucial aspects of game setup, and game balance, like story outcomes and resource management. The testing will heavily aid us in fine-tuning the experience.

As we push into the 'final stretch phase, our team's dedication is stronger than ever. We're pouring our hearts and souls into every bit of the Kingdom of Rizia DLC. Keep your eyes peeled for some exciting news about how you can support us as we bring this new labor of love in the Suzerain Universe to life!


Introducing the Armed Forces Panel, designed to provide a comprehensive overview of military resources, training pool, and various specialized factors. It will allow us to gain valuable insights, helping strategic decision-making and optimizing the efficiency of military operations and power projection.

Here is a little sneak peek of how the Chinese community localization is going.


Exciting news! We're gearing up for a major Roleplaying Event set in the Kingdom of Rizia, hosted within our Discord community. To make this smooth and enjoyable for everyone, we're on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals to help us manage and facilitate the roleplay. Interested in joining the team? Please fill out the form linked here, you have until February 15th. If you're feeling the call to this experience, don't hesitate to sign up!


Today, we're delighted to present an exclusive soundtrack for Rizia, masterfully crafted by our talented composer, James Spence. We hope you enjoy this auditory journey and have a wonderful listening experience. Tune in and let the music of Rizia enchant you!


Last but not least, we have begun our second wave of closed testing and we are looking for new passionate voluntary testers. We’re honing in on the crucial aspects of game setup, and game balance, like story outcomes and resource management. The testing will heavily aid us in fine-tuning the experience.

ZERO Sievert - ModernWolf_Eric


Hunters,

As we near the rollout of Update 0.41, we wish to express our deep gratitude for your invaluable feedback and patience. 0.41 is taking a little longer than we originally planned, as we are squashing both big and small bugs. Please bear with us.

What's coming in 0.41
  • AI Recoil Overhaul: You've spoken, and we've listened! A pivotal change in this update is the introduction of recoil to AI's weapons. AI enemies will now experience the same recoil mechanics as players, ensuring fairer combat that you've all been requesting. The recoil level is tied to the AI enemies' level; the higher the AI tier, the better their recoil control. This means Lazar will have much better aim than your ordinary bandits. Check out the videos below to see the AI's new recoil dynamics!

    Low Tier Enemies:


    High Tier Enemies:


  • UI & Functionality Overhaul: This update brings a significant overhaul to the game's UI, with a special focus on enhancing functionality. We're aiming to make the UI more intuitive and efficient for all players, and paving the way for future features like inventory sorting.

  • Controller Support (and Steam Deck): Finally, the much-anticipated controller support arrives, it opens up more ways of dying in enjoying ZERO Sievert. By the way, you can already enjoy ZERO Sievert on Steam Deck while we work on full Deck verification.
What's Coming Next

While Update 0.41 marks significant advancements, the excitement doesn't stop here. We're cooking some thrilling content and features for our next major update that promise to electrify you like never before. Stay tuned for more information.

Stay vigilant, and happy hunting in Zakov!

Side Note

If you're interested in being part of closed beta / alpha testing for all exciting current and future Modern Wolf projects including ZERO Sievert, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on Discord (@ericd). Please note that signing an NDA is required if you are selected. We value your insights and look forward to collaborating with our dedicated community!

LET GET THIS FIRE GOING
Sincerely with even greater hype - The Team of ManaBrigade
Heartworm - HYHP
Hey everyone!

You have no idea how excited I am to be writing this update. I can finally announce that Heartworm has a publisher again - DreadXP! They're a perfect match for our game, and will be supporting us to bring Heartworm to PC.

There was a while there where I thought I might never finish this game - but that's not a concern at all anymore. Now I can get back to focusing on creating the best ode to survival horror that I possibly can.

A few things this means:
- There is no kickstarter anymore. It was a backup plan had I not found publisher support.
- Target release is 2025. I wish I could say it was coming this year, but with the delays we have had there's no choice but to push things back - I hope you can understand.

I can't wait to show you more.

Thanks always,
Vincent
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley - Daria_Driver
Dear wanderers,

In our last newsletter, we introduced a few vibrant residents who call Moominvalley home. In this installment, you’ll find more info about other characters like Stinky, Horse, and Ghost! All three are very different from each other. Horse is a diva. Stinky is a mischievous troublemaker. And Ghost is a playful… well, ghost!


Horse

“Oh, I’m fabulous. As always!” ~ Horse


Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?

On the lush Hattifattener’s island, a certain fabulous horse with a flower-patterned coat rests on the shoreside covered in huge clams. With a sway of its luxurious mane, the Horse has a seemingly puzzling request for Snufkin. Can Snufkin find something more beautiful than the Horse?

Ghost

“Aren’t you afraid of me either?” ~ Ghost


Even in the hideous parks, Snufkin can find an un-boo-lievable friend. When the Ghost first meets Snufkin, it has lost its way - unsure of its abilities to scare others. Together with Snufkin, the Ghost will rediscover its true self and grow again, becoming confident and sure!

Stinky

“Hah, as if I care. Catch me if you can!” ~ Stinky


An irate creature who lives for causing trouble, Stinky is usually up to no good. But he’s oddly loveable, with his fuzzy body, two antennas, and wide grin. As expected, Snufkin will encounter the cheeky character through mischief caused by Stinky. And while Snufkin is not one to say no to mischief, he'll need to chase Stinky down for a good cause.

Aside from the parks and patrolling police officers, Snufkin will meet memorable residents all over the valley - like Stinky the gleeful thief or a ghost searching for confidence. Snufkin’s musical abilities won’t only be used to dismantle parks or to get on the Park Keeper’s last nerves. He’ll also help out characters with a tune or two, creating melodies of new friendships and even deeper connections.
