• Added sprinting, the screen darkens as you run out of stamina, to keep things nice and minimal
  
• Added the Drillshot projectile, that can go through terrain at a fixed angle and slower speed
  
• Added the Boxed map that is set in an old wooden box
  
• Redesigned the Mountains map to remove those annoying instakill drops and instead focus on slopes for more difficult aiming
  
• Redesigned the Highrise map so the buildings fit in more and removed the beams that blocked shots
  
• Redesigned the Confined map to be more... well, confined

Minor fixes.

In the shadowy corridors and mystic landscapes of "Greek Tragedy," every step you take is laden with significance. Our commitment to creating a game environment that is as enigmatic as it is navigable has led us to a design philosophy that celebrates choice, exploration, and the thrill of discovery.
Here's a closer look at how we ensure you're never lost in the dark, yet always on the brink of uncovering secrets hidden in plain sight.

Choice is the cornerstone of adventure in "Greek Tragedy." We meticulously craft every pathway, visible and obscure, to offer you a spectrum of possibilities. Whether it's a glaringly obvious route fraught with danger or a subtle nudge towards a hidden alcove, the environment is designed to keep you intrigued, engaged, and always moving forward. Our world is a puzzle, with each piece beckoning you closer to the truth, or perhaps leading you astray with a red herring that's as compelling as the genuine path to your next objective.



In the tradition of the greatest mysteries, not every clue leads to salvation. Our game thrives on the presence of red herrings—paths that seem promising but may lead to unexpected outcomes. Yet, these detours are never without their rewards, offering deeper insight into the lore of "Greek Tragedy" or providing challenging encounters that test your resolve. Similarly, pathways hidden in plain sight challenge you to look beyond the obvious, to question every shadow and every seemingly inconsequential detail. It's a reminder that sometimes the most significant discoveries lie just beyond the edge of perception.



Unlike games that rely on pitch-black darkness to create tension, "Greek Tragedy" ensures that you can always see where you're going. Our lighting design not only enhances the game's haunting atmosphere but also serves as a guide through its darkest corners. We believe in lighting the way forward—not with glaring beacons, but with subtle cues that encourage exploration without leaving you stranded in frustration. This approach allows for an immersive experience that rewards curiosity and bravery, without the need for arbitrary stumbling in the dark.
"Greek Tragedy" invites you into a world where the path you choose can define your destiny. Our design philosophy ensures that each pathway, whether clear as day or shrouded in mystery, is a thread in the larger tapestry of the game's narrative. We encourage you to explore every nook and cranny, to embrace the journey with all its twists and turns, and to discover the stories that lie waiting in the shadows. In "Greek Tragedy," the light always finds a way to pierce the darkness, and so too will you find your way through the challenges that await.

Welcome back, Spacers!

Join us as we take a peek behind the curtain of VoidBound development and uncover the highlights of this week's progress.

Starting off, with a variety of artistic updates:

• A new cut-in has been designed exhibiting Caly's struggles as she inhales a mysterious gas from a trap. What will become of her? Better hold that breath..- or maybe not?! 😮‍💨
  
  
• Prepare to feel elastic tension escalate with another cut-in render, this time with a pervy robot restraining and having its way with Caly's both frontal and back-end assets. Truly, a bot of culture 🤖
  
  
• As the heat of the battle intensifies, so will the scratches and tears of Caly's armor. Revamped combat standing art, showcasing a new take on Caly's battle-worn attire is now live!
  
  
• Speaking of armor, we're developing a series of new renders, showcasing different states of armor damage. From pristine to battle-worn, these additional renders provide a new immersive degradation of Caly's suit throughout the battle.
  
  
• Refinement of Caly's overall character design continues, focusing on every curve and contour to ensure authenticity and believability. Who says you can't look even more sexier while kicking ass? Certainly not us!

---------

Exciting developments unfold as our team completes the writing for Section 2 of the Tripteen Dungeon. Currently, the narrative is undergoing thorough review to ensure coherence, pacing, and alignment with the overarching vision of the planetary scenario.

Climax finally approaches as writers prepare the stage for Caly's ultimate confrontation with the formidable Boss lurking within the depths of the dungeon. Though details are still being hashed behind the drop scene- we are assured that players are in for an epic showdown.

--------

Finally, some exciting update from our Coder Division- The Resolve System! Building upon the foundation of the Struggle System, this innovative feature empowers players with greater agency and control.

Say goodbye to the roll of dice and hello to an interesting mini-game that puts your reflexes to the test. Players will engage in a gauge-filling duel against their adversaries, timing their actions to perfection. Win and your will will help you break out of the toughest of situations guaranteed.

Loose however..- well, we're sure you know what awaits 🪢

And to tie it off, we're hard at work refining and testing additional mechanics for the combat system. From new abilities and tactics to improved AI behavior, these enhancements promise to elevate the strategic depth and replay value of battles.

More details on this to follow soon!

---------

And that is all for this one. Thank you once again for joining us on this journey of creativity and progress. Can't wait to share more exciting updates with you soon!

Kind Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team

Hello there,

Here's the first monthly progress report on the development:
March has been quite eventful: between the bundles (Made in France and Romance Beyond Reality), PC issues (my power supply had a faulty module, which cost me about a week...) and preparing for what's next in terms of visibility...

But I've also made significant progress on Chapter 5, rest assured! It's exhausting to have to do all this, but well, no choice if I want to one day be 100% on GS, without having another job on the side.

For the numbers:

305 renders
0 animations
1030 lines already scripted and posed
600 story lines already written, waiting for script and pose

No animation for now, the first days of Chapter 5 will be rather dedicated to starting to answer several plots, and to introduce the last intrigues of this Book 1, as well as character building.
But don't worry, at least one lewd scene is planned, maybe two (with at least one other romantic scene, maybe without lewd content), two action scenes... in short, there won't be a lack of animations anyway!

No new features coded for now, but I'm planning a new gallery (for the special renders and trailers) for Chapter 5, and maybe some additional accessibility elements concerning the new GUI.

I'm also going to launch a survey regarding the "default" name of the hero, since the current name is the name of a super villain in another universe :s

By the way, if you'd like, share your hero's name in the comments! ^^

See you soon!

Welcome to the finale of our PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo retrospective!

In previous editions, the team has discussed the inception of the game, how they implemented the fourth wall-breaking puzzles and much more.

To bring things to a close, Kazuma Oushu (Producer), Takanari Ishiyama (Director), Gen Kobayashi (Character Designer) and project members of the PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo team discuss the game’s amazing critical reception and answer some burning questions we have about the game’s story!

To read the full article, please go to: http://sqex.link/5z0z

How did it feel to finally launch Paranormasight?

Takanari Ishiyama (Director): I thought that we’d made an interesting game, but I was really nervous, as I had no idea how a traditional text adventure game like this would be received in this day and age. I couldn’t stop wondering how players outside of Japan would find the game.

Are there any reactions to the game you’ve been particularly surprised by?

Ishiyama-san: I was surprised that Yutaro Namigaki was such a popular character, as my intention was that he would be the type of character that people would generally dislike.

I think if I’d intentionally tried to make an unlikeable character that people would end up liking, it wouldn’t have worked. It’s just one of those tricky things.

Also, there’s a section of the game where the player is forced to save manually so that the characters can make good on their promise to never forget what has happened, and I’m really happy that this, along with the story beat that goes with it, was so well received.

What message do you have for players?

Ishiyama-san: We are planning to keep on making games, so we hope that you will continue to offer your support!

And for anyone yet to play the game, thank you for giving PARANORMASIGHT your attention! If it has piqued your interest, why not explore some related content further – perhaps by watching a stream of someone play it as a first step, for example? You won’t regret it!
