Revealing the Release Month!

Hello, adventurers!

We're thrilled to announce that The End of The Sun will officially release in January 2025! Stay tuned for the exact date and the premiere of our brand-new trailer, coming soon!



[h2]What’s the current stage of development?[/h2]
Our main development phase is now complete! The End of The Sun is fully playable from start to finish. Both the English and Polish versions are finalized and thoroughly tested, and feedback from early testers has been overwhelmingly positive. They describe the game as uniquely atmospheric, full of surprises, and visually captivating. We’re beyond excited to hear this!

[h2]So, what are we working on now?[/h2]
Great question! Polishing is essential and takes time. Here’s what we’re currently focusing on:
  • Translating The End of The Sun into additional languages.
  • Fine-tuning gameplay for a smooth, immersive open-world experience. Small tweaks—like adding a road sign or hint—can make exploration even more engaging.
  • Adding a final Easter egg with a bonus storyline.
  • Testing compatibility with Mac and Linux platforms.
  • Integrating Steam achievements and other Steam features.
  • We’re aiming to have all development complete by the end of November.




[h2]Why is the release scheduled for January?[/h2]
While development is wrapping up, we want time to perfect our marketing efforts. Creating a high-quality trailer takes around a week, and as a small, dedicated two-person team, we sometimes need to account for personal responsibilities.
We’ll announce the exact release date as soon as we're sure everything is polished and ready for launch.

Our vision is to deliver the immersive journey of The End of The Sun exactly as we dreamed it seven years ago when we began this adventure!

We're closer than ever - Testing underway! - Developer Update

Hello everyone!

We have some great news to share! :)

"The End of the Sun" has entered the testing phase and is in its almost final shape. We're currently working on fixing bugs and implementing improvements based on feedback from our testers. They've given us really positive feedback, especially about the story and atmosphere. Testers are also very impressed by the game's variety. We're incredibly excited to see people enjoying a game we've worked on for 7 years!




[h2]Here's what we need to do before the release: [/h2]

- Localize the entire game (English and Polish versions are already ready, and we'll fully outsource all other languages so it won't take our development time).

- Record the English narrator voice-over (Now after first tests we're sure there's no need for additional lines.)

- Polish the game and fix bugs found during testing.

- Add achievements, trading cards, and other features related to Steam, Gog, and Epic stores.

- Create some Easter eggs. (But you could be sure it'll be something that won't break your immersion) :)

- Ramp up our promotional efforts by preparing trailers, new screenshots, and other marketing materials. (We have been developing "The End of the Sun" for 7 years, with 6 years dedicated to full-time job development. Therefore, we need to focus on creating effective marketing strategies. And yes we are going to share much more than 1 trailer. :) For example, the game will also feature sung songs, which you will probably hear in promotional materials :) )

We’ll be sharing new materials soon! Meanwhile, have a sneak peek below! :)




[h2]Game release: When?[/h2]

Our current goal is to launch in late October or early November. We can't give a certain date as it all depends on how much polishing we need to do after game tests.

What we could say after the first bunch of tests that everything is really great, we didn't encounter big problems (but small things like moving some objects a little bit here and there to make gameplay smoother also take some development time :) )  Hopefully we will share certain date together with Release game trailer soon!

Keep your fingers crossed!
