After The Boba Teashop, I’m excited to share my next cozy horror game: The Hambagu Shop. This is another horror experience where you work night shift at a Japanese Hamburg Restaurant.

I decided to make another horror simulation game to build upon what I learned from The Boba Teashop. While I’m proud of that game, I feel it was a bit too linear and didn’t lean fully into the simulation aspect. There were no upgrades, no endless mode, and no way to spend money.

So this time, I’m creating a new game that focuses more on the simulation experience, but also keeping the same narrative story style with eerie atmosphere.

The game is still a work in progress, but there is a short demo available to download right away. If you enjoyed The Boba Teashop, you’ll definitely want to check The Hambagu Shop out.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH , Our campaign has finally come to a close! With almost 30k in funding! Truly Incredible work, I thank each and every one of you for making this happen. And more importantly believing in what Project Turboblast is, and aims to be . 

I have alot of work to do. 

Backer rewards and details

There is alot I need to figure out. To be blunt, Kickstarter doesn't have any automatic ways of giving things like Steamkeys or any kind of discord integration on platform.

But you all will receive a survey of some kind soon'ish, requesting various information needed to give out the discord roles, steamkeys and other things, keep an eye on your emails and kickstarter msg inboxes .

Steam keys+Artbooks+OST will be given out closer to release when that happens.

So if you missed your chance to donate (as I have gotten some DM's already) the time for Kickstarter is unfortunately over, and there isn't anything I can do about that.

However I've opened a Ko-fi for those still looking to make an impact and help out! but this is exclusively just for donating, there are no rewards or bonuses on Ko-fi

K0-FI HERE

ALRIGHT FOLKS. That's all for now

Once again , Thank you all so much!! Stay tuned.

From all of us at Supergiant Games, thank you for playing Hades II. We've been very excited to see so many of you battling beyond the Underworld since our v1.0 Launch, and we're grateful for all the feedback, which inspired us throughout development and continues to do so. We now have our Post-Launch Patch 1, with enhancements to the True Ending among other improvements, available to preview:

First, we recommend backing up your save files, since the Patch 1 Preview may contain more technical issues than would typically be found in one of our full patch launches. To locate them:

• On Windows, navigate to \\%USERPROFILE%\\Saved Games\\Hades II\\
  
• On macOS, navigate to \\%USERPROFILE%\\Library\\Application Support\\Supergiant Games\\Hades II\\

Then, to unlock the Patch 1 Preview,

1. Right-click on Hades II in your Steam library and select Properties
   
2. Select Betas, then select [preview]
   
3. The game will update. Once ready, you should see Hades II [preview] in your library.

Note: The Patch 1 Preview represents a work-in-progress whose contents may evolve, and some text translations are still in progress. We do not have a release date for the full patch.

In addition to various bug fixes and some balance changes, this patch contains...

• True Ending Enhancements: Added new events in the lead-up to the True Ending, and some after. As part of this, increased the number of Underworld clears required, and added to and revised parts of the main True Ending scenes before the end credits.

• Returning to a Real Possibility: Added Cauldron incantation lets you return to an earlier point in the story in case you wish to re-experience key events, such as the True Ending.

• Fated Prophecy Adjustments: A number of character-related Prophecies, including the one connected to the story epilogue, should unfold faster than before.

Performance Improvements

A small foreword: This patch brings our largest effort, and in turn our most significant performance improvements to Pacific Drive to date. These improvements positively impact all versions of the game, including PC (high and low spec machines) and Consoles (both standard and performance mode). The changes target CPU, GPU, Video Memory, and Load times.

• CPU

  • Disabled multiple unutilized aspects of Unreal Engine 4.27 that were not necessary for Pacific Drive

  • Reduced complexity of the physics scene for faster performance

  • Optimized expensive player specific physics overlaps

  • General improvements for blueprints by increasing use of cached data

  • Minor Time of Day optimizations

  • Multiple CPU specific hitches fixed

• GPU

  • Massive reduction in base geometry and LODs for very expensive foliage and rock meshes

  • Improved culling of meshes at extreme distances

  • Improved LOD generation for the entire game. Notable areas of improvement

    • Car Parts and Upgrades

    • Items, Tools, and Resources

    • Garage Stations

    • Resource Providers and Scrapable Vehicles

    • Environment Detailing Meshes

  • Reduced dynamic distance field scene complexity

  • Reduced the default mirror shadow quality settings which were set higher than needed and could significantly impact performance

• Video Memory

  • Removed redundant landscape grass data for improved memory footprint

  • Reduced some expensive distance field mesh resolutions for improved memory footprint

  • Reduced unused or underutilized texture sizes across the game with no visual impact

• Load Times

  • Improved load times across the game with targeted procedural generation spawning optimizations

A Note on Shader Caching:

Alongside the improvements in performance, we are aware that there have been some regressions with shader caching with this update. However, overall performance has been largely improved over previous versions and we do have a fix for this specific issue that will be deployed in a near future patch.

Gameplay Balance and Scripting

• Improved Resistance stacking for certain Car Parts

• Adjustments to Lim Shield Effectiveness

  • The Lim Shield now has active battery drain while activated

    •  0.35 kW/sec. Battery Drain per Damage is reduced by 50% to help counteract this. 

Developer Note: We found players were driving with the LIM Shield active at all times without much downside. To better align the car part with our design goals we added battery drain while it is active, but also lowered how much your battery drains when the shield mitigates damage.

• Adjusted Expeditions Tutorials process

  • Tutorial timing flexibility for new players, you now have the ability to back out earlier if you don’t want to listen to Francis talk as much!

• Weather pattern timing has been slowed, allowing them to last longer

• Reduced death penalties on default settings:

  • 85% Chemicals lost on death

  • Car parts that die shortly before players dies are more likely to appear in the Friendly Dumpster

  • Car parts returned from Friendly Dumpster are more likely to return with better health ranges.

  • Car parts that die shortly before players die are less likely to appear on Remnant

  • These settings remain adjustable under Gameplay Settings if players prefer a different experience

• Changed quirks that influence Battery Charge. 

  • Battery now charges at 0.65 kW / Sec as opposed to 2 kW/Sec

Bugs and UX Improvements

• Fixed occasional softlock conditions in Expeditions tutorial

• Incorrect maps have been removed from the Expeditions map pool

  • Stabilizer maps have been removed from the Expeditions map pool, player can no longer spawn gateways by activating stabilizers on an Expeditions run

• Fixed Red Balloons duplicating after resuming a suspended run on certain maps

• Fixed the rare occurrence of  duplicating fuel cans

• Fixed occasional softlock conditions in tutorial

• Electric Engine now correctly display resource consumption rates

• Repair Stop in Garage will now ignore peculiar parts

  • Switching from low detail to high detail bridge meshes happens further away

• Fixed missing collision on two trees 

• Radio no longer lowers volume temporarily for dialogue when dialogue is fully muted in settings

• Updated lighting visuals in red Zone storms

• Fixed certain spawning issues for obstructions and buildings that sometimes block roads

• Updated Pacific Drive Crash Reporter options and legal language to be Ironwood Studios specific

Known Issues for Base Game

• Controller haptics still activate occasionally when disabled in settings

• Abandoned cars sometimes spawn floating

Known Issues for Whispers in the Woods

• Taking a standard Junction Exit after summoning an Attuned Gateway can cause Altars of Passage to not spawn in future Exit Junctions

  • Applies to REDACTED Anomalies

• A slight hitch can occur when any Attuned car part is highlighted

Platform Specific Issues for Whispers in the Woods

• The Xbox Entitlement for the WITW DLC is tied to the connection status of Xbox Online Services

  • If a player has an existing Xbox save with the WITW DLC and goes offline, they get a warning that “this save is inaccessible due to missing content” message when trying to load the game. Save becomes accessible once connection is reestablished to the Xbox Online Services.

• On PlayStation 5 Performance Mode and Xbox Series S consoles, depending on graphics settings, there is a problem that can cause fog to flicker under certain conditions

  • We’ve prepared a fix for this issue, and will be implementing it soon

We’re excited to share that a major update for Go Home Annie is currently in the works! 
 

This update will introduce a whole new section of the game featuring unique gameplay mechanics. A gruesome new threat is now stalking the dark hallways of the Facility, forcing Annie to stay one step ahead at all times. To survive, she’ll need to run, hide, and master the supernatural handheld camera in creative new ways to overcome her biggest and scariest challenge yet. 

 

The update's release is planned for early 2026. At the same time, the game will finally be coming to consoles as well!🤩 

We’re excited to announce that the brand-new trailer for BrokenLore: DON’T LIE premiered this evening during the Indie Horror Showcase - presented by DreadXP and The MIX, and the wait was worth it.

In BrokenLore: DON’T LIE, you step into the fragile mind of Junko - a young woman haunted by her past, isolated in her small apartment, trying to reconnect with two patients she once met in rehab: Shinji and Hideo. What begins as the lonely life of a hikikomori, with fleeting moments of human contact, soon unravels into something far more sinister: medication that distorts reality, liminal spaces that bleed into day-to-day life, and hallucinations that stalk you in the dark.

Exploration, stealth, combat: the game pulls all those familiar mechanics you expect from the series, but adds new twists. You’ll search Junko’s cramped apartment for clues and memories, sneak past visions that mirror her internal claustrophobia, and survive confrontations with the darkest corners of her mind. Even more unsettling: within the game you’ll find playable segments of Fantasy Boy, a retro side-scroller that Junko uses to calm herself -until it becomes yet another layer of her fractured reality.

The trailer gives us a glimpse into Junko's world - uneasy, atmospheric, deeply personal. The walls have eyes. Nothing is stable. Every lie changes something. Which brings us to the title - DON’T LIE. Because in this world, the lies you tell others, the lies you tell yourself, they all matter.

Wishlist Now
BrokenLore: DON’T LIE is coming soon to PC (and beyond). But while the release date is still listed as “To Be Announced”, you can add it to your wishlist today on Steam and stay updated with all future announcements.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Wishlist it now - and be among the first to step into Junko’s world.
