Original postHello wonderful people!
As announced earlier this month, the open beta is now available for all of you, who own the game.
A little recap on what this beta is:
we are upgrading the game engine to Godot 4 which will allow us to add more content features while also improving the overall stability and performance of the game.The primary reason why we upgrade this 4 year old game at all is the absolute mess that the code base grew into over the years which makes adding new content and features a real struggle.
The biggest features that were limited by the current game engine is by far the support for animations and crossplatform support.With the new game engine we can finally add animations and also offer Steam Cloud saves to share your progress and saves across your devices, including a native Linux version and SteamDeck support.
The current beta stage has many of the existing features already working but some parts are still WIP, so here is a little overview of things to try in this beta:
working features
- play the base game content, with choices and path branching
- save/load your game progress
- unlock achievements
- change settings from the main menu
- use the Roadmap to replay parts of the game (WIP but mostly works)
- English translation
WIP
- skip/rollback dialogue
- Gallery
- change settings during gameplay
- input remapping (controller support)
- translation support (German, Brasilian Portuguese)
- Steam Workshop integration (for more translations)
- DLC support (works on the free Halloween2020 DLC already)
The above lists are just the main features so please expect some things to still behave a bit... unexpected.
tl;dr
Cool stuff, but how can you play the beta?!
You can activate the open beta with these 3 easy steps:
- go into the Midnight Ride properties
- select the Betas menu
- from this dropdown, select the "open_beta" (if you don't see this option, restart your Steam)
- close the properties menu and update your game
- enjoy
When all is set and done we would really appreciate feedback about this beta over here in the forums

Original postHello wonderful people!
It's been a while since our last public post about the upcoming final DLC for Midnight Ride...
and yeah... about that:While Nidma and Celtic are busy finalizing and polishing the content for the "Mad Scientist" DLC, I took on the task of porting the game to a new game engine. The limitations of the current game engine (GameMaker Studio) are the main reason why our game has no animations for example.
Primarily for that reason and because it was a good opportunity to implement a few other needed changes like cloud saves for device compatibility (Steam Deck etc) I decided to rebuild the game from scratch in Godot 4.
The end result of this rebuild will not look too much different to the current version apart from the benefits of running on a more modern and capable game engine which will allow us to add some much requested additional content.
In the near future there will be a playable test version for owners of the game on the beta channel here on Steam and I hope to get some feedback from all of you awesome people.
So stay tuned for more information very soon!

Original postHey guys, hope you're doing awesome! We've got some news about the game update we've all been hyped for, and we wanted to fill you in.
The update we were aiming to drop by the end of the year is hitting a speed bump. As most of you know we're a small team of 3 people, and this year was rough on us and it impacted our capacity to create.
Ever since we've started this project we kept our releases yearly, but two of us had main job related problems, taking a chunck of our time and energy. Most of it is resolved already, but it delayed us a lot.
We know it's a bummer to wait a bit longer, and we're sorry for any letdown. But trust us, we wouldn't be doing that if it was not necessary, we want to have a proper release, no rushed content or a half-baked update.
The new release should happen in the first half of 2024, but as always we'll keep you posted. Thanks for being part of this awesome community and for your patience.
If you've got any burning questions or just want to chat, hit up the comments below.
Cheers

Starting right now the Summer Madness is here and you can get everything Midnight Ride for cheap! This is the first big sale we've done in a while, so grab it while it's hot, literally!
With many paths to play and as many secrets to uncover, help our poor little Serena get home safely! We wouldn't want anything to happen with her... right? But we're not here to judge, so play to your heart's content!
NEXT DLC
We're still hard at work for the last DLC planned for the game, this last foray will take Serena to meet a peculiar Scientist, and he'll have some fun little things to try out with our darling. We can't spoil much for now, but rest assured we think it will be well worth the wait.
The DLC should be coming by the end of the year, we'll let you know whenever we have a firmer date to give, until then, stay tuned!
Once again thank you all for the continued support you've given us, we wouldn't be here still working with Serena if not for you, so thank you for supporting this little studio! We hope you'll enjoy what we're working on, see you really soon!

Original postHello everyone, we're thrilled to finally bring to you guys our newest DLC! Sticking to our original plan of a DLC a year, the DLC Storyteller is finished and ready to be played!
Serena meets an old friend and they decide to sit down and speak about the past, come with us to discover her old little secrets, including some really close relations with her younger sister and her boyfriend's father!
The DLC brings another 3 paths to be discovered, a brand new ending, many more gorgeous renders and a sizable expansion to the story!
SOUND
Yes, it needs a separate section to be announced! We heard you all asking many times, so we officially have audio now! You'll notice the paths have custom songs to fit them, and now the game is devoid of silence (unless you mute it, and maybe there's an easter egg there).
ANIMATIONS
Now for some bad news, we have animations ready and rendered, but the game engine is struggling to show them properly. We've contacted support but we have no ETA when the problems will be solved, it's unfortunately out of our hands. Whenever they get back to us with a solution we'll update you all.
Thank you all for the continued support you've given us, we wouldn't be bringing more Serena if not for you, so thank you for supporting this indie studio! We hope you'll enjoy the game we've made, see you soon!

Original postHello guys, once again we come with news! First of all we'd like to thank you all for the support, with the release of the Season Pass and of our first DLC - Galactic Detour, we have been receiving outpouring support from you and we are extremely happy and thankful for that.
These last few weeks we have been working on some things, the first of them is spreading our presence more over the internet, we know some countries can't buy Midnight Ride and the DLCs directly on Steam, so we now have a new homepage that contains all of our links, including to other marketplaces where you can grab keys and activate here. You can access it here:
http://hornynpc.games/
We'd also like to thank the community for embracing our mod support, we already have our first translation on the Workshop, it's a Russian translation made by the modder Groove, so we thank them for that and hope that we'll see even more languages going forward!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2663564006And last but not least, just a reminder that the DLC - Galactic Detour is already out and released! There are still two more that are coming and will be included in the Season Pass when they arrive, so stay tuned and grab your copy if you didn't already!
