Cyber Rift v0.1.7a Buggy Version (feedback needed!)

Today we're excited to release the first version of the new rework! This build is a bit of a dramatic overhaul, so there are guaranteed to be a lot of bugs that we're excited to squash. Every background has been converted into proper Unity Scenes, and the new player room is now extremely interactive compared to before. This build will be rapidly iterated on, and we will be pushing out fixes as soon as we make them. So please any feedback is extremely important!

News Update: Squashing bugs and other nerdy stuff

So this week has been a pretty exciting one for build stuff, and we wanted to make a news update detailing the various tribulations and discoveries we made. One of the biggest issues we had with our builds was due to UI scaling, which in layman's terms is just the buttons you see on a scene. Since we had built our environments mostly using UI rather than Scene environments, any time the UI scaled to fit different resolutions all those buttons would move to fit the screen. This type of scaling...

News Update: Reworked Demo and First Update

First off want to say welcome to all the new patrons! We've had a rough go of it the past few months with artist breaking his arm and my gallbladder surgery, but we're getting back into action again. Currently progress wise we have most of the reworked build sorted but we're still focused on ensuring each of the pieces are working. We also originally intended on adding a few new pieces of art to the build specifically in the form of a view of the ship outside in space, a new intro sequence, a...

Public News Update: Getting back into gear

Hello everyone! It's been a chaotic few months and thought it was about time to get a proper news update on what's going on. In IRL news I've had my gallbladder removed due to some major issues health wise. It was initially a fair rough recovery, and on top of that I ended up having to move places from one city to another. Naturally this created a lot of issues in terms of getting development with the game done, and also just keeping things in order. Not to mention our artist also broke his a...

News Update: Build Status and Some Unfortunate Events

Sorry for the ominous title but here's this month's news update! Recently we made some pretty major steps in the build and went over some feedback given from patrons, testers, and our own artist. We wanted retool the current version due to some issues with pacing, where currently you go from event to event immediately. It's not like the build itself is bad, but we think we could make it feel a lot more smooth and also enjoyable for players. What this means is we're going to be changing the ga...

Public News Update: Status on Demo and First Update

Our goal with the first few builds of the Cyber Rift Reboot was to fix up many of the issues that we had with pacing and story wise, as well as improve the art and overall direction of the game. With the help of our amazing patrons as well as some vigorous work on our end playtesting and fixing up issues, we've made some very large strides. After a month or so of major progress we've managed to get the build in a stable and very workable condition. We've managed to get almost all the features...

Cyber Rift Reboot v0.1.5.1: Alpha Build

This alpha build is a big one since we finally got music!

Public News: Build Status and Future Public Demo

We wanted to give a news post for both patrons and non patrons alike so let's get right into it! After months of developing the new reboot we were finally able to ship out our first few alpha builds of Cyber Rift for our Owlet and Cyber Owl patrons, and they've done an incredible job giving us feedback on where we need to improve and ideas on what types of features we can add. We've tried to be pretty open in terms of what we've been working on, and right now though the focus has been primari...

Progress Update: Environments and Redesigns

So you might be asking yourself "Where was last month's Progress Update?", and to that I say sorry! We had been a bit swamped last month in terms of getting art and the build working properly, and we've been trying very hard to get it all in working order as soon as possible and since we're taking our time to make sure everything is of the same caliber, we didn't want to make a progress update without having things to show. Today we get to change that!

Small Christmas Surprise!

Hey everyone, wanted to give you a small surprise of one of our first tech tests for the reboot! This is using assets from the older version of Cyber Rift and was meant for testing out what we could do with the new engine, and making sure all the cool stuff that RenPy could do was possible in Unity. In this you'll find a new menu, a few older assets that we wanted to use for fun, and finally an unused NSFW scene. Just to preface none of these assets are going to be in the newer versions of Cy...

Progress Update: Cyber Rift Reboot #1

Hello everyone! Today we're excited to show off a bit of the new concepts we've been developing for the reboot. Changing engines has definitely been a massive challenge for the team, but the overall benefits to the change have been 100% worth the ordeal. Our wonderful artist Pluzer has been extremely hard at work on the new ship and today I wanted to go over some of the concept art and mostly finished versions of art.
