Carnal Instinct

Hi all, Just a brief development update to give you an idea of where we are. Some of the new systems which we showcased in the last development blog required us to upgrade the engine to version 5.4, which we had already done at time of last posting. Since then, and as we approached our initial estim

PSA: It has taken much longer than planned between updates due, in no small part, to my unscheduled surgery in January. As such we're going to release the update to all game access tiers simultaneously. That said we don't want to penalise our Ascended+ supporters, so there will be a chunk of exclusi

Hi all, New Year, New Updates. We're currently working on several different parts of the game at once, so that we can work towards DSS 2.0 whilst also pushing a smaller update in the meantime. There will be individual posts regarding these as we go, but for now here's the birds eye view of some of w

It has already been too long between news posts, a few people have raised it and I have to say that I agree. I tend to be the one doing these posts and, when I'm working flat out, they can fall by the wayside. I can only say that I'm sorry for not making enough time for this and that I should be doi

Hi All, We're currently working toward the release of the Kravenrook update, though that hides a lot of the precursor work going on behind the scenes. Roadmap We've had a lot of requests for an updated roadmap. Whilst we do have an internal one, we're now working on the visuals for a new patron-faci

Hey All, After our initial Unreal Engine 5 release and bug fixes we released a Public Progress Update which featured our Work-In-Progress quests and what we had planned for the next few updates. Today we're expanding on that and let you all know what to expect next and what we've been working on to

Some of what we're working on now won't have much of an impact until we get onto DSS 2.0, as camera control is limited and the old animations need to be upgraded to take advantage of these changes. That said we wanted to share some images of the deformation possibilities with the improved skinning a

[PSA: THIS POST INCLUDES MINOR SPOILERS FOR "STRANDED ANUBITES". READ AT YOUR OWN RISK] Hi all, Welcome to the first of our public development progress updates. How frequently we post these will depend on precisely what we're working on at the time, but they'll be more frequent than previous updates

"I was in the southeast of Behid-Heq, making my way west towards the Queensroad, when I first laid eyes on a Desert Mau. I had stopped to rest in the shade of some forgotten temple, a ruin half-swallowed by the fine desert sand, when the beast sprang from the dry grass and fell upon my Aadi. Though

"See how your friends have fallen... they did not die well. Your precious path brought only your doom, step after relentless step led you to this place. The mutt led you to nowhere but the point of my spear. I wonder if you see now, see that this twisted web of unchained lust was no greater path at

"Of course your grace, I only wondered if... It's just that we have orders from the High Priestess and we're already short of warriors. The hills are teeming with Inquisition forces and... I see. Well perhaps we can have her back once you're finished here? I... but my orders... very well. I meant to

"Though I have heard it said that no untainted humans exist in Sabu, this is not entirely true. Known by the pejorative moniker of 'the Formless', the lowest social cohort of Sabu are the entirely mundane descendants of the kingdoms original people. To have no mark of ascension, even something so mi

Hi All, We wanted to publish some new sections of our development roadmap, giving you some idea of what we'll be working on in the coming months. We don't attach specific dates to things, but the rough timescales are published in the previous development update. Avatar v0.3.63 is now live for Avatar

Hi all, So we're finally ready to put some dates to our release schedule, as well as giving you a peek under the hood. This post should help explain our decision making as well as what we want to achieve with the finished game. When we started making CI there were no end of limitations we imposed on

Hi All, We're working on such a variety of different elements at the moment that it's very difficult to select an element to focus a dev blog on. We've decided to cover some of the world design changes and visual upgrades in this blog. Firstly we've punched up the contrast of the world. When you loo

Hi All, This is not the UE5 development update - that's still coming later this week. This is something that the core team have been discussing today and we want to be entirely up front about; we always do our best to remain open and transparent, so this update covers a development decision we're in

Hi All, We won't beat about the bush; we'll be delaying the UE5 build. It's something we'd tried to avoid doing, but due to a combination of staff sickness and some elements which simply need more time to reach a quality we're happy with, we need to delay. There's no single element we can point to a

"The Aadi are curious beasts to be certain. I for one became quite fond of my mute travelling companion. She was as keen to traverse sharp crags as to make haste over the open dunes. Unlike many beasts used for transportation, Aadi are also kept for their meat. When offered such a meal, in the tent

"No sooner had the hunter dispatched the abomination than a second one surged forth from beneath the sands. Without the element of surprise, so essential to his first kill, I presumed the Draconid was about to make an ill-fated attempt to run. It was to my great surprise that instead of turning to f

"At first I was not certain it was alive, after all how could anything emerge alive from such a place. The scar hung in the air, an open wound in the fabric of the world. This thing was like a splinter, ejected from that wound... from the body of the world itself. When it rose my gaze was met, not b

Hi all, In the interests of being open and upfront we wanted to draw everyone's attention to the recent changes to the roadmap. Whilst they're minor adjustments in timing, we know that when it's something you're looking forward to it can be really upsetting when it's delayed. To this end we wanted t

Hi all, This is a very short update to fill everyone in on where we are right now with development.
