Announcing that Ctesiphon will be in Cyberpunk Fest! The game hasn't gotten much attention for the last month beyond some new artwork, my focus as always is on the next project. So consider a 60% discount an apology for not having a more substantive update. And speaking of new ar
Version 1.04e Patch Notes Another small update: Removed v3Expo's Squilchan dialogue from the secret spot in the Outskirts. I've moved the portrait into the fanart room instead. That central building in the Multiport will be the death of me, I've modified it yet again to make it h
First of all, go check out the v3Expo showcase for 2026. It should be airing a few hours after this update goes live. Ctesiphon has only short spot in a montage but if you look carefully there's a hint on how to get to a new secret being added in this update. The game will also b
Really tiny patch this one. A commenter on itch pointed out you can jump way higher if you bind jump to the scroll wheel. I have a little timer for extra coyote time and it wasn't clearing on jumping which meant it could applied multiple times in quick succession. Sorry anyone wh
Steam Auto-Cloud has now been enabled, so saves should sync between devices (even cross-platform). Version 1.04b itself is only for Linux builds as it fixes a major performance problem. I'd gotten the report a few times but had no idea what was going on as I primarily develop on
Somewhere in uploading a new build to Steam, asset changes described in the patch notes for v1.04 had ended up not being packaged in.
Released in November, Ctesiphon puts you in the role of a Galactic Bounty Hunter extraordinaire in a fresh retro styled futuristic boomer shooter. Read the full article here:
Surprise! Ctesiphon is now Steam Deck Verified!ːsteamhappyː This comes with the caveat that on the Deck you'll get the Windows version by default launching through Proton, as stated in the previous update. The situation on native Linux hasn't changed yet and may not for a good wh
I want to make an official announcement I can reference for Steam Deck compatibility so I can link it from the store page. As of writing, most controllers will work on Native Linux even if they don't on Windows, but there is a big exception for the Steam Deck and Steam Controller
I'm launching a game on Steam for the first time, I can have a little day one patch as a treat. Added a little clipping in the Tutorial level to avoid getting stuck on the indoor palms Fixed up the level descriptions in the level select hub, most of them still had changelogs from
Launch Day! The time has finally come, Ctesiphon is live! The launch version is set to 1.03 to keep parity with the demo. This does mean there's been a few changes and so previous saves will cause artifacts so it's recommended you only load autosaves from the end of a level so yo
Hey everyone, I'm hard at work finishing up the final touches on the game but wanted to make a formal announcement that CTESIPHON is coming November 26th. Be sure to wishlist the game if you haven't and check out the demo! Thanks!
Behaviors (Can't call it AI anymore) Grunts can now shoot over obstacles a bit easier. I want to do a dedicated animation for this eventually but for now if the grunt's muzzle is obscured the projectile will spawn up at eye height. Cut down the pathfinding cooldown for the headle
Bugfixes All sound clips tied to entities are now cleared on map load, meaning you shouldn't hear Ethelyn's elaborate death scream anymore after hitting restart. Fixed Windows build picking up R-Control as R-Shift, a typo meant this wasn't being handled properly.
The third level from the full game has now been added to the demo in time for Next Fest. It had always been the intention to have three of the seven levels in the demo but I wanted to give do another pass over it to remove a couple of placeholders. The game autosaves every time y
Changes in version 1.01 Compatibility Breaks Due to updating to a more recent version of Trenchbroom, many models had to have their default orientation changed. Because of this, all saves made with the previous build of the game are invalid and the game will prevent you from load
I was a little too busy to properly announce anything ahead of time, but Ctesiphon got a spot in Zlimbratski's awesome Brutal Indies Unleashed Showcase! Edit: The demo is now out right here on Steam! Alas my humble trailer made a liar out of me and the demo isn't playable as of w
