My newest game, STORM THE SWAN, is coming out on STEAM on HALLOWEEN DAY, October 31st!



STORM THE SWAN is a Gameboy-inspired horror game adventure. Make friends with CUTE ANIMAL VILLAGERS! CUSTOMIZE YOUR HOUSE, but don't go into the WOODS at night, because they say something EVIL is lurking there.

The game will be FREE, so get ready for its release by heading over to the Steam Page and adding it to your Wishlist!



The game is available for Windows, Linux & Mac with included Steam Deck compatibility! AND will come with its very own Steam Achievements and other Steam Integration!

"Storm the Swan" DOES take place in the Data Time Software / Date Time Universe and does featuring some familiar faces from it, but you will not need to know anything about Data Time, Date Time or ALL THAT JAZZ to enjoy STORM THE SWAN!

Check out the page, and I hope you enjoy the game on HALLOWEEN!

The LTGM votes are now open, so cast your vote to decide which two limited-time modes run for the next month!

Votes are open until October 28th, 6pm UTC.

Hi,

This update provides additional improvements to the game.

• Decreased Asteroid Spawn Rate on Normal by 0.5s

• Improved software stability
  
• Added Jack-O-Lantern Mask to Ship
  
• Added "Nuclear Explosion" sound effect in Most Wanted
  
• Updated buttons on menu
  
• Adjusted menu brightness
  
• Added window light to player ship on menu
  
• Decreased volume of sound effect for buttons by 80%
  
• Decreased volume of sound effect for purchasing by 50%

• Fixed graphical issue on menu

The reason why I am adding a mask onto the ship is to experiment with extra customisation options for a future update, Customisation 3.0. I would like to be able to add a selection of little free cosmetics which you can equip for a future update, so for now you get a little mask. This will not be forced when Customisation 3.0 comes out, and will be removed on the 1st November.

Today's update adds the surface to CaptAIn's Colony! It's a single island that you can develop however you want and even invite colonists to help out! The island also adds grass and trees, which you can move to other planets (even the moon, as long as you make a greenhouse and place an oxygen generator inside). I made a quick video showcasing the new island (and the space station, which I've never made a video of before):



The full changelog is as follows:

• Added colony surface
  
• Added interstellar teleportals (unlocks on reaching colony surface)
  
• Added dirt blocks that grow grass on top on planets with oxygen
  
• Added trees - can be found on the colony surface, or revived from coal
  
• Shovel and painter now show all sides of block properly (but it still shows the wrong offset and rotation for ramps)
  
• Painter can now paint glass blocks
  
• Glass ramps are now created using glass items (instead of shovel)
  
• Added option to auto-eat from largest food stack
  
• Added deferredInit which makes the infoInit block run AFTER all mods are loaded (for modding)

I'll be switching back to Mars and the next stage of the magic path (I already have a few of the combat books done), I hope you're looking forward to that!

The time has arrived to kick off your robot revolution and start saving humanity from Combot domination, because Early Access for Lynked: Banner of the Spark is now LIVE!

Join Early Access on Steam to begin your adventures with the first four Chapters of the story, each featuring six combat missions. You will also embark on repeatable side missions, conquer boss fights, discover all 10 weapon classes, unlock new upgrades, power boosts, Spark Powers, and much more. Head here to learn more about everything Early Access has to offer, and then purchase Early Access on Steam before October 29 to get Lynked for 10% off!

To celebrate the launch of Early Access, we’ve added a number of cosmetic items that you can earn just by playing Lynked during the Early Access period and beyond. Head in-game now to permanently unlock the following items:

Please Note: The rewards above can only be earned during Early Access (we're working on adding them to the game right now, so keep your eyes peeled to our social channels or Discord server for more details.)

In addition, the following items will be awarded to all players, including those who begin playing Lynked after Early Access concludes:

To unlock all of the above rewards, players must reach town for the first time after completing the tutorial. Once that’s complete, the rewards will appear in your inventory. They will remain available to you permanently, and will carry over to the 1.0 version of the game at launch.

Our Early Access festivities extend beyond the game itself with Twitch Drops for the next two weeks! Until November 5, you can unlock even more options for your wardrobe and décor collections by watching your favorite broadcasters play Lynked: Banner of the Spark live on Twitch.

Hi Everyone!

We’re excited to share more about the four playable classes available in Crystal Conquest! This week, we’re highlighting the Pyromancer.



A star performer from a world-renowned magical circus, the Pyromancer is a damage dealer that excels at area damage, but has a limited defense. Despite her serious appearance, she’s actually quite reckless – with a bubbly disposition. She’s eager to fight and sometimes even charges into battle without even thinking about the consequences …

Looking forward to learning about the Geomancer and Aeromancer? Stay tuned for our next update :)

– Mystic Interactive

v1.0.1 has been released!
It includes the following fixes

Previously, the restart operation was only available from the menu screen.
Starting with v1.0.1, you can now immediately restart by pressing the button in the upper right corner of the game screen or by pressing the designated key/button, just like Undo!

In 5-7, a bug was found in which blocks would overlap or buttons would be judged incorrectly in certain conditions.
This problem has been resolved in v1.0.1.

Ranked Season Nine and the Hallow's Hearth Event should now be up and running as normal!

The major update for Season NINE, is LIVE!

You can read all the details in the update below, including a summary of changes we’ve made based on your feedback during last month’s Public Update Preview.
