Steam Summer Sale 2019

Howdy!

The summer is here, and the heat in Finland is immense. Seriously, I thought last year we had a fantastic summer up here in the Far North, but now it's been even crazier. During midsummer, last weekend that is, I witnessed huge thunder storms and sunshine during one day.

This year has been incredible so far, and a lot of stuff has happened. In February we released an RPG on the mobile called Crypts of Death, and its reception has been great! I've also been helping out on an unannounced horror shooter project, doing character art and additional code for it.





In March I created this prototype demo for a story-oriented action-adventure game, called Hybrid Children. I applied for a grant of 5000 euros (approximately 5680 dollars), but sadly wasn't able to get the funding to develop this prototype further. What do you guys think, should we do an Indiegogo campaign on the game, to get the funding necessary to finish the project?

The screenshot above and the ones below are from that prototype. It was created in Unity, and is fully 3D as you can see. I also did a couple of test with a more Kalaban style perspective in addition to these.







To celebrate this Steam Summer Sale, I have decided to share a few screenshots uploaded by the community on Steam. It's always great to hear feedback and reviews on the game, and it's especially nice to see user-created content and / or fan art.

We spent two years slaving away on the game, and I don't think many people realize how long it took to implement all the open world elements and the story into it. Let alone all the unique background art that we created! After the release I have been updating the game, ironing out all the bugs reported by the community.



Some user in our community went into the game's ini file and gave himself loads of vitality and ammunition. It's always great to mess around with data files and see what happens.




Tyler, a user in the Kalaban community, uploaded several screenshots with his own captions drawn on them. I remember taking screen grabs and making my own modifications into them, like drawing a new first person weapon in Duke 3D.



"Sometimes a Small WC just isn't enough." Ain't that the truth?


Okay that's it for the screenshot review! Kalaban is on discount on Steam, Itch, Humble Store and Gamejolt.

Spring Sale -50%!

 

Hello there!

The spring is here and our game Kalaban is now available with a 50% discount on Steam. If you still haven't grabbed your copy of the game, then now is the perfect chance!

We've recently updated the game and fixed some of the UI issues that we've had. During these past few months, we've read user reviews and feedback, and have fixed the bugs and glitches that have been listed.

Recent fixes include tweaking the loot drops from the enemies, adding destructible crates and barrels, and adjusting the player's movement speed. We've also fixed the brightness slider, and fixed its save game value.

So, if you haven't tried the game in a while, or you have not yet played through the game, now might be a good time to give the game a revisit. The game does feature a three-hour long story campaign with lots of NPC encounters and unique places to explore.

The campaign was beefed up in January, when we released the larger content patch, which added more detail into the Kalaban backstory, and revealed some of the mysteries related to the cultists. All of this is of course found in-game through exploration and discovering the clues in the environment.

To accompany the new discount, we put together a new short trailer for the game. You can find the video from below, and you can visit our Steam page here. Enjoy!
