Merry Christmas! Hey guys, as part of getting the game ready for the full release I revised the introduction because that was still causing big headaches for too many people. This time though I changed the entry point into the story and it's flow order and dialogs, the side-panel
Hi everyone, behind the scenes I've been busy getting the content ready for the full release. Still I got to fix some problems, mainly with the onboarding and bugs with the explanatory dialogs. Improved intro to game and story Showing Malcom's thoughts Show explanation-dialog for
It's been a while, sorry to keep you waiting, but I just felt "let's do this as well" every time Also in the background I'm working hard on implementing the full story and it's refinement. This requires a lot of time and involves more creative tasks, which are also kinda a new th
So guys it's been a while, but it took some time to fix many bugs, together with your help. You found them and took the time to point them out, now I know that we're nowhere close to having no bugs at all, but the nastiest are now addressed. Apparent fixes: BigScreen ™, manual an

This is more of a hot-fix-collection than anything else. The anticipated update to come is already in the making More precisely: there were (as expected) many problems with the story system , all of which should now be fixed. The manual was extended by 4 new pages that explain th
As promised in the last update, there is now a settings menu. You can access it via the mainmenu. It comes with live preview and a fps counter, to find the correct settings. (Currently there is just shadow quality, rendering scale and v-sync there). If you like to get the ultimat

After some all-nighters the first public version of debris is now available! 🎉 There are still many things that need to be improved and many more ideas for more content – but for now I am looking forward to your feedback. Limitations of the Demo version are: Progress cannot be s
