I am 17 days away from the next version of my demo, and to be honest the new dialogue system has been quite difficult for me to implement. I am going from a linear dialogue system where you press a button and boom there's is the next line to now you have options and free will, similar to an RPG. And just getting the technical side of it up and running has been a pain but I am pretty sure I will have the hub dialogue with the evil alien completed by the time the next demo version is set to release. Here is a sneak peak of the new interface for it, See you November 20th!

Added
- In different race registration, added information if your stable horses already are registered
- Ability to choose how many newgens are added each year
- Wealthy NPCs will now occasionally make offers to buy shares in stables (including the player's stable), creating more natural ownership distribution across the game world
- Share Trades tab in Finance section: View all share transactions happening in the game world
- Ability to lose control of your stable and get fired (if you lose majority ownership)
- Ability to create new stables (if you go to player -> options)
- Ability to merge stables

Improved
- Changed how CPU horse buying works
- Changed how CPU facility building works, this might have blocked hiring
- When starting a new game, the default is to only have TB breed
- Staff now gives reasons if they leave, and you can try to keep them
- In the upcoming auctions, change the cards with the circle of the horse face, to the project standard so that coat colors work better
- Coat DNA display format simplified: now shows "EE AA Dd" instead of "E:EE, A:AA, D:dD" for cleaner readability
- Breeding preview now should show all relevant coat genes including Roan, Flaxen, Rabicano, and Sooty (previously only showed base, dilutions, Grey, and Tobiano)

Fixed
- Live auction panels now respect theme colors
- Can only accept sponsorship once
- Coat colors in the stable detail view, auction preview and also the upcoming auction round portraits for horses
- If CPU uses prefix or suffix, add space between name and it
- Possible fix to illness and injury checks slowing down late game sims
- Changed the training fees calculation to work in a bulk fashion, should be x30+ times faster. This should also make the general simulation faster
- Fame of horse is now calculated based on career earning, this way foals are not born legendary
- When no shareholder selected, hide buy and sell panels for the shares to make UX clearer
- When buying a horse in the market, immediately update stable cash
- In stable options fix the panels to follow theme colors
- In stable details fix coat color of top horse

We’re constantly researching what’s out there, what creeps, clicks, and claws its way into players’ brains. Lately, a few of our marketing collaborators (the ones with Steam wishlists longer than their lifespans) have been diving into the weirder corners of horror gaming.

So here it is: their personal favorites from 2025. Just a few genuinely great games that deserve more bites.

We loved the atmospheric throwback to the classics in Crow Country, taking us all the way back to the PlayStation 1 era and hard jewel cases that cut your fingers when cracked from overuse.

Crow Country surprised us in almost every way possible, and we definitely recommend it. It gave us a bright idea for a cool, creepy theme park in Stay Dead... maybe.

During the horrors of the night, your home is often your haven, until it isn't. NINH reminded us that good horror not only invades your personal space but also messes with your mental space. It fed our paranoia and totally made most of us jump whenever someone rang the doorbell.

A game quite similar to the vision we have for Stay Dead, SPB showed us that great art, gameplay, and a killer protagonist are sometimes what you need to get the ball rolling on a great horror game, with major Signalis vibes but less secretive. A great game that greatly inspires us.

An indie that hit the world by storm. The way it combines usual horror elements with unconventional (and extremely cute!) character designs and comedy is a huge inspiration for the Stay Dead team. And while we're aiming for a full-on singleplayer experience, there's still a lot to learn about how to revitalize the genre.

This indie project combines the gameplay of 'Papers, Please!' with lovecratfian nightmares and very-very-very dark humor, bringing new life (pun intended, since you play as a doctor) to the genre and forces the player to make constant hard choices and learn the routine quickly, or succumb to the madness. And while the gameplay is widely different from what we envision for 'Stay Dead', the unique art style and the combination of 2D and 3D models is something that we're doing with the Rottington family in our game!

While the premise is similar to another one we mentioned on this list ('No, I'm not a human'), we felt that it should be included, since it shows how different developers approach the same subject completely differently. It's a very unique blend of a turn-based RPG and survival horror that the fans of the genres should totally check out!

A New Blade Enters the Arena ⚔️

After months of planning, prototyping, and soul-searching, we’re proud to unveil our next project:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4038650/Samurai_Standoff/

This game is a love letter to the flash-era mini-games we grew up with; fast-paced, reflex-driven duels where timing is everything.

You’ll fight as one of six unique warriors, each with their own story, style, and reason for stepping into the fray. From Bluetail, the lizard samurai captain of the Royal Guard, to Ichi, the elusive fox assassin of the Kitsune Clan, every character brings something different to the battlefield. Whether you’re climbing the ranks in solo campaigns or testing your reflexes in multiplayer, every fight is a test of precision and nerve.

We’re building Samurai Standoff as a compact, focused experience; something we can finish and release while continuing work on UNDERNEATH. It’s part of our plan to self-fund the studio and keep growing sustainably.

So if you’re into cinematic sword fights, animal warriors with layered backstories, and a dash of retro flair, check out the new page for Samurai Standoff.

Hit that Wishlist button, and stay tuned for more updates soon.

Thanks for walking this path with us 🐾
