We recently joined forces with TogeProductions and TouchDImensions to create a unique bundle for all fans of tactical squad-based games.

Our old title TAURONOS joined forces with Equinox Hunt to create "The Thrill of Escape" bundle for the ones of you who enjoy top-down thriller games

To celebrate all these events & milestones we are doing one BIG giveaway.

We have 2 main goals during this campaign:
1. to reward our audience and engage them in a fun challenge

Hi there!
Thanks to your support, this game has passed the required threshold to enable Steam's Trading Cards.

While I have no idea what those are, I've seen you asking about it on some of my games in the past so... Here it is! I think the backgrounds and emoticons are also available in Points Shop or whatever, so if you like it, go for it :)

Apparently, if you already own the game, cards should be added to your account automatically. What are they for? What are the badges? Don't ask me, I don't know.

Thanks again, have fun, and keep an eye out on my upcoming games!

Pillars Of Fog has been planned for over a year now and we've put a lot of work into our first 3D Platformer. We do have plans to update the game and add more to POF over time, but first we want to hear from the community and see what the feedback is from what we have now ready and running at Full Release.

- You will Start from our first level and progress onwards by climbing up using our all math based climbing system. Procedural Generative Climbing, no animations used, just Math!

- The first checkpoint is very high up making the climbing part of our first level quite challenging so we'll have to see what player feedback is based off if we should potentially make it easier or maybe harder? Or just keep the level the same we'll see what the gaming community has for us.

- Your first checkpoint will be through a purple portal where once entered you will be in level 2. Checkpoint levels will not use climbing as a center point to the gameplay but now this is when POF turns to a horror game. I won't spoil anymore, the rest is for you to experience now!

Possibly Known Bug? or weird feature?
- Set controls to default first time launching due to settings being set to none or just fill in controls to your liking.

Changed leaderboards to be ordered in top 10. Might actually do a top 20 if enough people play

We released the prologue for our upcoming game, Rally Mechanic Simulator. If you enjoyed Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator, you’ll love the new one, especially with the free prologue. You can also win a key for the full version of RMS once it is released. Here’s how to do that:



The game has a test track feature and you can drive your car there. We also have a leaderboard with top times. And if you manage to get yourself to the top 5 by 4 PM CEST of the upcoming Friday, you’ll get a free copy of Rally Mechanic Simulator’s full version once it gets released!

Here are the top 5 at this moment:

1. Mateuszbre161 - 30.482
   
2. obiwan_can_blow_me - 31.611
   
3. Alexgabi09 - 32.369

The bar is already set pretty high, but there’s still plenty of room at the top to prove yourself! If you think you have what it takes, give Rally Mechanic Simulator prologue a shot HERE!

Relax with the latest update coming to Forza Horizon 5: Horizon Cars & Coffee. This new series features a brand-new Evolving World Location, the Coffee Shop, which will become your favorite location for solo or group photo ops. Stay for a late cup o’ joe and watch the new drone show featured at the Coffee Shop at night!

The finest beans are waiting for you to take a sip, or should we say a smash, as you find our newest collectible hidden in the Coffee Shop.

Cars from around the world converge at the Festival’s new hot spot with the Reward Cars coming this series including the 2017 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Coupé, 2021 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae, 1976 Volkswagen SP-2, 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, and the 1973 Volkswagen Thing.

Four of Japan’s biggest stars shine brighter than ever in the JDM Jewels Car Pack coming this series welcoming Japan exclusive cars that have made their way to Mexico to Forza Horizon 5.

Props, badges, outfits, and more will be available starting July 16 in Horizon Cars & Coffee!

You can find a list of issues we are currently investigating here. The Troubleshooting Hub is always open for you to leave any reports you have.





Horizon Cars & Coffee brings you the best place to ingest your mandatory dose of much needed daily caffeine in the Coffee Shop Location. This new spot is piping hot with locations to take pictures of your cars and even entire convoys!

The Coffee Shop is riddled with the same murals you can see in different areas of the Mexico map, and some new artwork on its walls. Furthermore, you can use the drive-through area for cool photo opportunities.

Look at the inside of the Coffee Shop and you’ll find a nice photo studio when you need a picture of your favorite rides with a clean white background. Special lights will also turn on at this section of the Shop at night for a unique illumination on your pictures.

All around the Coffee Shop you will see platforms designed to fit multiple cars; these are amazing for group shots to immortalize your convoys. In total, there are three platforms surrounding the Shop; one features another iconic mural seen across Mexico, while the other two use nature as their backdrop.





Nothing beats the sensation of putting on your most comfy set of clothes to get a nice cup of your favorite kind of coffee and going for a ride on the crisp roads of the Horizon Festival.

To help you with that first part, we have added the Coffee Cup outfit as an unlockable reward on the first week of the Festival Playlist.

We know how hard it is to put a smile on your face before you have had your first cup of the day, so we decided to include a premade smile on this outfit, so you don’t have to fake it until that first glorious sip.





The Coffee Shop Location will also be the host of a completely new drone show in this series!

Visit the new Evolving World Location at night and watch the flying drones make the shapes of a coffee cup, a car wheel, and this series’ logo.

The drone show plus the spotlights that appear at night near the Coffee Shop will also provide unique photo opportunities for you and your convoy.





There’s no need to make a line for this one-of-a-kind cup, you just need to find it.

Visit the Coffee Shop during the third week of Horizon Cars & Coffee and smash 10 Coffee Cup Collectibles to complete the Spill the Beans challenge available that week.

Be careful with the cup! As soon as you hit it, you’ll see its content spilled all over the place.





EventLab creators, your order is up and ready!

Five cars are gathering from all around the world to taste the Festival’s bean juice as this update’s Festival Playlist Reward Cars.

From exclusive flashy rides to convenient utility vehicles, this series’ rewards are a fun and diverse collection of international marvels.


Time to rev those engines High-Performance Dailies. The next series coming to Forza Horizon 5 will feature 4 Festival Playlist Reward Cars, new racing routes, and new EventLab props including our latest collectible.

For V0.5.0, it's around 20k words. It adds 7 CG sets (kinda) and 3 scenes (kinda). It's the continuation of the date. I'd have liked that the date was one big update, but oh well. With the current speed of my animator, that's not something I can do.

Also, you might notice that you can choose the Chinese language in the settings. For now, Chinese is only partially implemented. Around 150k words out of 220k has been translated. I'm hoping that from next month and going forward, I will be able to update the Chinese version and English version at the same time.

Changelog V0.5.0
Story

• Added 7 CG sets
