This is another big step for our studio! Chapter 1 of A Shot in the Dark is now available as a free demo on Steam. This is something we've been working towards since the game first released in April, and we couldn't be more proud to finally share A Shot in the Dark with the Steam audience!
We hope you enjoy the BRAND NEW preview trailer in this post, packed with animation previews from all three 2022 releases of A Shot in the Dark!

Apparently, our previews for this week's dev log were so spicy that Patreon considered them to be unsafe for the public's eyes, despite not having any actual nudity. ;) So, here they are in a Patrons-only post!

We're doing our dev log early this week so that we can all take a few days off for the Thanksgiving holiday, rest, and spend time with family. Except our poor PCs -- they don't get a break, they will continue rendering away!
In the spirit of the season, we'd like to extend a GIANT THANK YOU to our AMAZING team!
Happy Saturday everyone!
Illness set us back quite a bit this week, sadly. It seems like some really nasty bugs are going around in a lot of places recently. :( Luckily, a lot of progress was made before illness struck and we have some extra hands on deck to help pick up the slack.
All of the writing for the second half of Chapter 2 (V0.2) of A Shot in the Dark is officially done. Renders are running about two days behind schedule but sho...

We are beginning to see the light at the of the tunnel with the second half of Chapter 2 (V0.2) of A Shot in the Dark. This was a very ambitious third update, but we are very, very happy with how it is turning out!
All of the scene writing for V0.2 is now finalized, and all that is left to write is Photogram content. Renders for all but two scenes are ...

This dev log we couldn't resist giving you an extra spicy preview render for A Shot in the Dark, which is why this post has to be restricted to Patrons/Subscribers. Who do you think that juicy booty belongs to? ;)

Thank you for a great September everyone! We ended the summer with a real bang, surpassing 700 Patrons for the first time. Needless the say, the release of Prince of Suburbia V0.8 went better than we could have ever expected!
There is not much specific to report for either game this week. We are continuing to prepare for the Steam releases we have planned for this year, as well as plugging along on the regular content updates as always. 2022-10-01 18:26:11 +0000 UTC View Post
The immense growth our studio has seen this year has blown away all our expectations! With more visibility naturally comes a larger community, and that aspect is beginning to take a significant amount of time away from actual game development and the ongoing efforts to grow our studio.
We are looking to hire out help with both marketing and community management. Ideally, we'd like to hire people who are already enthusiastic about our games and excited to interact with o...
