https://youtu.be/yUlWdflcFqI

We are constantly adding content to the Chapter 1 for Jotun, moving some of the developed content to the next chapter for narrative coherence. One of the new content we added is a boxing quick time event (don't worry, tutorial included in-game). We hope to start Alpha testing soon, after we clean up the first part of the game. In the long run, we hope to remake Ergi entirely. We hear your f...

JOTUN development update

The new game "Jotun" is currently in development and previously we have shown screenshots in game. This time, we have recorded screen videos of the actual gameplay modes (cinematic/story, choices, quick time events, puzzles/exploration and followers building). We aim / hope to launch this by Jan, at least partially, as some of the mechanics like subtitle/translations and core game engine needs to be refined). https://youtu.be/RL...

Development update on Ergi prequel (Jotun)

The Ergi prequel story revolves around the 4 founders of Alfheimr - they are Viggo, Yingvi, Freya and Loge. The game is entirely animated, including the start screens. The start screen will feature one of the main characters depending on the chapter you last played. Each chapter will focus on one of them as the protagonist. The gameplay itself are mainly made of story cutscenes. There are choices to be made, timed events, puzzles and exploration.

As of now, we are planning to have subt...

Expanded Ch9 epilogue

New content were added to the Chapter 9 epilogue for those who wanted some game play in addition to closure. Some of the CGs were also enhanced based on player's feedback. We try to accommodate to player's requests as much as possible. However, there are limitations that the new artist can do to imitate the art styles of the earlier chapters. The expanded content can be found in the latest patch.

Expanded Ch9 epilogue

Happy Halloween everyone! We will be releasing an expanded epilogue with some game play content and additional CGs. Stay tuned!

Vanir Guide Ch9 v3

The Vanir guide is updated with the information for the locations and the side stories.

Ch9 Completion and future plans

The Ch9 epilogue is completed with the latest patch uploaded. For the Vanir backers, the version 1 of the guide has also been uploaded. We are currently working on the prequel story, Jotun. It's set before Ragnarok, where the Homo Jotun were first created, setting the social context for the Ergi era. The prequel story revolves around 4 main characters, each representing a faction starting a movement - Pro homo Sapiens, Pro homo Jotun, Pro integration (pagan) and the Anarchists. The MCs can s...

Chapter 9 Ragnarok

Ch9 Development

Alpha Testing has started! We are in the process of refining the game and adding new content to the game.

Ch9 Development

Thank you everyone for your patience and support, and we apologize for the testing to take longer than we expected. Ch9 requires 2-3 times more development resources than other chapters and we are trying to rush for the timeline as much as we can. Unfortunately, with new writer and artist on board, mistakes are bound to be made. One of the issue we identified during testing is that the old locations assets and interactions can't really be re-used. Normally assets are more or less shared over...

Ch9 Development

Ch9 is the largest chapter (asset wise) and most complex for us to develop, as there are many loose ends to tie up and branching dialogues based on previous choices. We have almost completed integrating more than 300 over images just for chapter 9 LIs alone. Thank you for your support and patience, we are pushing hard to commence internal integrated testing and polishing the final chapter.

Ch9 Development

We have completed writing for the final chapter of Ergi and more than halfway done through the assets development. There will be four major world endings for each of the Love Interests and an epilogue scene for the side characters. It depends on you how you want the story to end - a perfect ending where everyone survived? Or a bittersweet one with only you and your loved one survived? Here are some of the scene previews :)

Ch9 Development

So far we have completed the first draft of writing for Ch9 main story arc and LI arcs. This time round we are writing the story before making the assets as we want to convey the ending of the story properly. While the writer is working on the side story content, we are polishing the writing and integrating them to the game. Edit: Thanks for the feedback everyone. We haven't got down on CG production on full scale yet, but we will make sure the art style is consistent.

Ch9 Development

The first draft of Kirk's story arc and associated assets is completed. In the final chapter, your love with Kirk will be tested as your actions may go head to head with his pacifist instincts. Will you be practical and ruthless or remain idealistic? We're refining the assets and working on Erland next :)

Chapter 9 Development

Ergi Ragnarok is in development, and we are working backwards from the endings! The Ergi world will end differently, depending on your decisions in Chapter 8, how you deal with the Jormungandr, and the factions you choose to defend / protect. These are some of the good and not so good endings for c9. Can you guess what happens to the world based on them?

C8 Vanir Guide (v 2)

c8 Vanir guide v 2 is up. This update expands the guide for the LI's interactions.

Future Plans

Ergi has only one more chapter to go. It's been challenging to develop this game with people on the team come and go. But it's been a pleasure to make new friends and talented people who are passionate about creating a story. Some of you are asking about what's next after Ergi, and we found new partners who are keen to expand the story on the Ergiverse.

We are planning on a prequel to Ergi, set about a century before the events in Ergi (i.e. pre-ragnarok times). The game plays as 4 dif...

Ch8 Development Update

Ch8 writing is complete! We are now integrating the game, conducting system testing and polishing. Thereafter, it will be doing Alpha Testing before launch.

Ch8 Development

We have added additional story arcs to give it more closure, as Ch9 will be the final chapter. Hence, progress is delayed but we still aim to commence testing in December. Besides tying up loose ends, the additional arcs also hope to give players more options to end the story. You can't avoid taking sides in the final fight, i.e. the Alpines, Exiles, Huldrer and Alfheimr. However, you might just be able to save everyone with a little bit of creativity, if you feel they are worth saving, that...

Ch8 Development

We are more than halfway done for the main story development and about 1/3 done with the LI story arcs. We completed the Vanaheimr arc of Ch8, which is the new sector for the Hulder. Most of the key Ch8 events and LI interactions will be taking place in this new area.

Ch8 Development

We have completed about 2/3 of Ch8 development task lists and are currently focusing on the writing. In Ch8, most of the LI character will confront the key moments of their story arc. Based on the development path you took previously, you can either accept them for who they are, or nudge them to confront their beliefs.

Ch8 Development Update

While the writing and coding are progressing concurrently, the asset creation for Ch8 is almost completed. This includes the CGs for Main and side story. If you have brought along the side characters (Odger, Svend, Per), their story will continue in Ch8. Thanks for the support, everyone!

Ch8 Development Updates

Ch8 writing and CG development are proceeding concurrently. As of now, the graphics for the three LI focus as well as the new settlement for Himinbjörg are completed.

Ch8 Development

Coding Development for Chapter 8 has completed and we are currently adding some new areas to the Fimbulwinter terrain. You will be able to return to (some parts) of the Caverns / Undercity and find the Captains who had gone into hiding. Once reunited, the Captains will split ways heading to the Peaks, Alpine Settlement, while some will remain with Alfheimr. Once more Chapter to go, and it's time to choose the ending and future you want for Britt and his love interest!

First Look at Ergi Ch8 Ymir's Tide

As the Jörmungandr awakens, it will bring forth tsunamis that will drown any unprotected settlements. Apart from the frozen wastelands, new areas will include the Northern Sea, Yggdrasil Settlement and remnants from the Undercity Caverns.

Britt must convince his families and sister to seek shelter together or stay and fortify their homes. Have you sided with the Huldrer or the Exiles? Will you return to the Undercity to fight with your friends? Will you return to protect your parents a...
