Two ways to save:

If you’re reading this update before December 31st, run don’t walk over to the Yogscast Jingle Jam 2019 Humble bundle and check it out! There are an insane amount of great games all bundled together for $30, to raise money for charity. You’re not going to find a better deal or a better cause anywhere else, and both Stories: The Path of Destinies and Omensight are part of the bundle!

But if you’ve missed the Jingle Jam, or just want to grab a copy of JUST our game, the Steam Winter sale will soon be upon us, so if you somehow don’t already have a copy of Stories: The Path of Destinies, or you’re buying a copy as a gift for a friend because you want to share the love you’ll be in luck. Both Stories and Omensight will be discounted during the sale, just a little holiday thank you for the continued support of everyone who has helped us to continue making games.

Speaking of making games, if you don’t know already, we’re working on our next title, Project Witchstone! It’s a dynamic, living-world, sandbox RPG. That’s a lot of fancy words to say that we’re designing it in a way so that when you make a choice, the world changes permanently. For good? For ill? That all depends on you.

It feels amazing to say, but we’re celebrating seven years of being a studio, which is an accomplishment we’re all so proud of. We founded Spearhead with high hopes for being successful enough to keep making the kind of games we were passionate about, and to be able to make them how we wanted to. Now that we’re looking back over the last seven years of doing just that, it means so much that we get to continue working at those goals.

As of right now, we’re working hard on Project Witchstone, our newest title. An RPG with a storyline generated in reaction to player choice in a reactive, vibrant world where factions vie for control of an isolated continent and the mysterious magic of the Witchstones. It would mean a lot if you’d go give Witchstone a look and consider adding it to your wishlist!

We’ll be running a sale on Stories: The Path of Destinies and Omensight as part of the seven years of Spearhead anniversary celebration, so make sure to pick up a copy before October 23rd if you want to get a deal.

From everyone here at Spearhead, thank you for all of your support over the years, and we’re excited to keep pushing to do new and exciting things to repay it.

We're super excited to announce that the Switch release of Omensight: The Definitive Edition is ready to go! Since it is our first release on a Nintendo platform, the submission process for the game took a bit longer than we originally expected. But better late than never, right?

Mark your calendars! Omensight: The Definitive Edition will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop on December 13 for $19.99/16,79€. Pre-orders will begin on December 6 and you can enjoy a 10% discount during that period.

Feel free to share this news with your friends. Thank you for supporting our indie studio!

Hello Time Travelers,

Journey through different time periods, bizarre worlds and even space!

Greetings, curious adventurers and daring pioneers! The doors have opened to times long gone and strange worlds long forgotten. Or would you rather see into the future and find out what awaits humanity? That is also part of this journey.

Seven amazing experiences are waiting for you in the Time Travel bundle.

Take a look:

• Stories: The Path of Destinies
  
• Omensight
  
• Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest
  
• The Inner World
  
• Chronology
  
• Pankapu
  
• Tick Tock Isle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX1Hd_mt6Qw&feature=youtu.be

Games from different genres and styles have been gathered together, yet united by the theme of time travel to remind you how diverse the experience can be.

You will rely on intelligence and cunning to solve challenging riddles. Other times, combining skill and blunt force is the only way to protect what is dear to you. And when that doesn’t work, going back through a time loop over and over again may shine light on the right path.

Conquer time and space in a whirlpool of worlds so unlike each other!

With all the love from Spearhead Games,

Jonathan from Spearhead Games

Hello Dear Friends,

It's been 2 years since the last update and for that we apologize. We were busy making Omensight...

But during the production of Omensight, we kept thinking about coming back to Stories, not completely satisfied with the game and wanting to address all the major issues that have been flagged by you, our community, since the game's launch in 2016. We jumped on the opportunity once Omensight was done.

So here it is: Update #4!

The game engine has been updated to Unreal Engine 4.18, improving performances and visuals and that's why we're calling this version Stories: The Path of Destinies Remastered.

Also the following issues have been fixed:

• Global: Sometimes players can't unlock "Boreas discoverer" achievement
  
• Global: Hooking a Shield Raven can increase the Combo meter to a high number
  
• Global: If players switch sword right before a locked door, they won't be able to open it
  
• Global: In wide resolutions, player can't click on Back or Apply in Options menu
  
• Global: It was possible to fall by dashing in corners
  
• Global: Perfect Strike text sometimes overlaped with Combo Meter
  
• Global: Portrait stay on and dialogues can be missed when using Alt-Tab during dialogues
  
• Global: Quitting in tutorial after crafting sword and loading back in did not leave the sword equipped
  
• Global: Ravens can sometimes miss their combat Idle animation
  
• Global: Subtitles for scripted dialogues could disappear if a banter had started playing just before
  
• Global: Using the Grappling Hook on an enemy started a combo
  
• Menus: Advanced Graphics Options have been made easier to access
  
• Menus: Continue highlight color was different than the others
  
• Menus: Option items sometimes weren't saved (without closing the game)
  
• Desert: Elevator does not open door when stopped
  
• Fleet: Players can fall off the map by dashing back to the platform
  
• Fleet: Combat slowmo sometimes continues during following cutscene
  
• Fleet: Hero Path - Zenobia can appear in T-Pose inside a ship during the Farfarer cutscene
  
• Fleet: Player can be stuck, unable to reach an hookpost on secondary path
  
• Forest: Raven can be stuck on a rock ("kicked enemies getting stuck on higher level terrain")
  
• Mountains: Some subtitles could be played during the wrong cutscene
  
• Nexus: Player was able to leave combat area by kicking an enemy and following up with an attack
  
• Nexus: Sometimes characters were invisible after skipping the intro cutscene
  
• Nexus: Issues with Russian localization after completing the level
  
• Nexus: The player can walk off the airship in Nexus by repeatedly attacking the back side
  
• Prison: Eyeballs' cone of vision could go through some walls
  
• Prison: Sublevel missing when coming from the first pink door
  
• Ruins: Quitting game during the end sequence (or even earlier?) and continuing game makes the wrong sequence play
  
• Tutorial: Altar kept its "new" green VFX after player got their first upgrade
  
• Tutorial: The mouse icon can be seen on the Counter tutorial pop-up
  
• Village: Controls could be lost after countering an attack

Thanks so much for the support! Take care!

After 18 months of intense production, Omensight is finally here!

It's hard to believe for us but Omensight, the spiritual successor to Stories, is out in exactly one week, on May 15!!

We are a small independent studio of 15 people and this has truly been a journey of sweat, blood and tears. Making a game is a a big challenge and we keep pushing ourselves to always be better and smarter. However, a bigger challenge is getting people to see, notice and buy the game we put so much effort into. With over 7,000 games released on Steam last year, it's really easy to get lost in the shuffle.

This is why we have started a new contest: Wishlist Quest![www.omensight.com]

The goal of this quest is to gather as many wishlist additions as possible for Omensight on Steam.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/455820/Omensight/

Each time we reach a new threshold, we unlock a special reward, starting with a free Steam Collector Bundle of Stories: The Path of Destinies at 10,000 wishes (which includes the art book and soundtrack)!

But that's not all! Everyone who participates also earns a ticket for a chance to win one of 100 Steam keys to Omensight!

Please don't forget to mention this to all your family and friends. The more, the merrier!
