Soul Axiom News

Hi everyone! Here's a quick update on how the development is going...

As you might be aware this next update has taken a lot longer than expected. The reason being we were forced to update the game engine because of a bug which made it impossible for us to continue developing on. Unfortunately, the engine update broke a lot of animations and materials in the process so we've been working hard on fixing those. Also, we've completely overhauled each level with our biggest optimisation pass throughout the game and so you should see a significant increase in FPS.

As well as FPS improvements, you'll also find huge changes to the lighting in many levels plus extra animations, gameplay tweaks and story hints throughtout the game. Not forgetting you'll also have the final installment to get stuck in to.

The content will be coming your way next week so keep an eye out for the next announcement.

Thank you all for sticking with us and we hope you're looking forward to the next update. We're so close to the end now and we can't wait to bring a content complete game to you all.

Cheers!
