Dear all,

a new post, long overdue with pictures an important announcement:

Like every year, the holiday season combined with sales makes visibility and competition a challenge. After careful consideration and with support of our publisher we have decided to push back the release date to early next year. Competition will remain tough in 2017 but the additional time will give us the opportunity to polish the game further, add a few localisations, and prepare a beautiful new trailer.

And...

the past few months have been intense. The game is in a stable pre-release state now, entered into the IGF competition. All background paintings are done (in 2560x1440 no less) and the UI has been implemented almost completely. Many of the remaining tasks are polish: fix tiny animations issues, add a few beautiful fx, and the above mentioned translations.

After many so doubtful months I am happy to see everything come together like this. Below a few images:

The main menu, chapters (or levels) unlock in sequence, each with its own tiny quasi-scientific diagram.
Chapter 15: Moldy air, preserved in crystal halls.
Chapter 24: Petrified, reaching out, never touching.Thanks you for your support so far and your patience. ^____^

Wow. Just barely two months ago we released the demo not knowing how well it would do… And now? We made it past the 10k downloads milestone of the demo! Thank you so much.

Here is a list of the changes we’ve made since then:

• Added surface sounds when characters walk
  
• Added text for menu buttons
  
• Added a screen with proper credits
  
• Added sounds for menu buttons and the spinning hexagon
  
• Added glowing position lights to the skyscrapers in the City Zone
  
• Added the story segment to the in-game menu for those who (accidentally) skipped/missed the text
  
• Menu in start screen now similar to the in-game version
  
• Updated background of the start screen
  
• Removed the blur transition at the start and transition between levels
  
• Improved transitions between levels and when resetting a level
  
• Replaced sprite based text with a new custom font
  
• After merging Purple now walks across caterpillars in an arch, hopefully
  
• Steam Achievements should be more reliable now

Thanks again. Hugs, cheers, and a toast to you!
