Demo 2.0Our latest demo was back in November 2023. Since then, we’ve been giving our art a complete overhaul. And what better occasion to reveal our progress than at the Steam Remote Play Together Fest 2024!
We've been hard at work not only revamping the art but also making tons of other improvements. We've upgraded ...
More Annika Animations
Gareth is fine-tuning Annika’s animations, especially with the player's use of gadgets. The latest update allows players to push against the wall, revealing a different angle for the character. This enhances the player's movement, adding a great overall feel. As previously mentioned, for now, it's...
CODE Application Completed
In October, we focused on our application for the CODE Kickstarter Grant. It is always hard to pull yourself away from active development, take a step back and look at your game objectively from a higher level. However, it is always a very productive thing to do to help align your goals and mi...
Out of Sight

OverviewAugust was all about art in Out of Sight. We've been wanting to give it an artistic overhaul for a while. Tilemap perspective posed challenges, and characters/enemies lacked fidelity, resulting in blurriness when zooming in for trailers/screenshots. Additionally, the protagonist's design didn't feel "mascoty" eno...

Out of SightPitching Out of Sight has always presented challenges due to its niche Stealth genre, which is typically incorporated as a feature in larger RPG games like Assassin's Creed or narrative-driven games like A Plague Tale and The Last of Us. Despite positive feedback on the game mechanics, we have received critic...
Funding Unfortunately, we received news that we missed out on a $50,000 Interactive Development Fund, which would have been a game-changer for us. While we wouldn't have been able to work on the game full-time, we would have had more resources to take time away from our day jobs and focus on game development. However, we...
