First Silence of the Siren Demo update!

Hi everybody,

We're happy to introduce the first update to the demo version of Silence of the Siren. This is mostly a patch with some important fixes but it also brings a couple of features that were most requested on Discord and Steam forums: the option to have larger texts and to disable some possibly uncomfortable effects in battles.

Silence of the Siren Demo update 1 (version a83aabb4)

Changes & fixes

Implemented first version of UI/text scaling
Added an option to disable screen shake/screen flashing in combat
Improved tutorial flow and texts
Improved memory management during game startup (this should help with rare crashes on machines with 8 GB and according to some reports even 16 GB of RAM)
Fixed commander card couldn't be open if the commander had a blocked route
Fixed cursor in combat not updating with ranged units taking turns after each other

Happy Holidays from Oxymoron Games!

Hello everybody,

It looks like it's time to slowly wrap up 2023 and like every year, let us take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Holiday and a Happy New Year! Also, we would like to thank everybody who bought Project Hospital during the last 12 months or participated in the currently running beta test of Silence of the Siren, our upcoming turn based strategy game. Welcome to the community!

For us, the year was mostly consumed by Silence of the Siren, as we're getting closer and closer to its planned release in Early Access. We visited several conferences across Europe including Gamescom and EGX and had a great time showing the game to a lot of you.

With Project Hospital, we were mostly helping players with the occasional technical issue and some compatibility problems on the Steam Deck. Also thanks for a few very nice messages with feedback and ideas we received during the year!

The team will now be mostly off until January 2nd, which means we might not be available on our social channels. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to ask our amazing community here on the Steam forum, otherwise we should be able to get back to you at the beginning of January.

For now enjoy the holidays and the upcoming Winter Sale!
