Dark Envoy News

Hello

We’ve been very silent, we know. But when you’re doing a big puzzle, until the shape of the illustration starts to appear, there is little to show.

We think we have that shape to show now. So if you wondered how Dark Envoy will play, what is the world we are creating and how (and if) it is related to Tower of Time, below you can find the 9 min showcase of gameplay.

Dark Envoy soundtrack is composed by Dawid Majewski (also Tower of Time composer). For us good music is essential for storytelling, so we hope you like the few samples we put in the clip.

On the release date -- we're changing it 2021, aiming for April/May.

It's later than we hoped for, unfortunately, but we can release the game only when fully satisfied with the quality, to ensure that Dark Envoy is a game worthy of your time and which you will remember playing.

We're working now on finalizing the first few hours of the game, so we can share a free beta/demo with you. Join our discord channel if you're interested to try the game, we will do the beta invites from our community there.

We will share updates more frequently now, we have so much to show you and we're pretty excited about that.

Cheers,
Event Horizon team

Perhaps it is an overkill for an RPG game to have hundreds of motion capture animations, but we do not compromise on anything. After all:

This is a clip from one of our motion capture sessions in-house. It is taken directly from the capture software and unedited in any way, so you can see that the base quality is already great. We usually spend 1 hour for each animation clip (2-4 seconds) to clean it and make it perfect.

Compared to a laborious process of creating animations by keyframes, which can take between 1 and 3 days (depending on complexity), it is a great time saver and let's us focus more on other features and mechanics.

Happy to present our first gameplay footage. Head to our Youtube channel if you are interested how we want to mix RPG with real-time pre-combat scouting and sneaking and xcom style turn-based combat.
