Greetings Cultists!

Here is our monthly update to provide you with inside information on what has been happening in the development of Desolatium!

January has been a crazy month! We’ve been a part of The Big Adventure Event and many streamers and people played and tested the demo. They have given us a lot of feedback to implement in the development in order to improve the experience, so we have focused on that.

Apart from it, our great artist, programmer and creative devs continued non-stop with the game development of Desolatium. Here are the main things to highlight from this first month of the year:

- We’ve finished all the graphic material from chapters 4, 5 and 6: notes, titles, descriptions, objetcs…



- Also some of the 3D objects from chapter 6 have been made, meet this Dagon!



- Color grading all chapter 6 images.



- Mask men is finally ready! Here is the concept art vs 3D.



And that wraps it up! Many more things have been done but we don't want to reveal everything now ːsteammockingː
