I await Ice-Pick Lodge’s alternate-earth plague survival adventure Pathologic 2 with equal parts excitement and dread. The original, for all its technical (and translation-related) flaws was a systems-rich game where you juggled allegiances as much as personal stats and resources
I await Ice-Pick Lodge’s alternate-earth plague survival adventure Pathologic 2 with equal parts excitement and dread. The original, for all its technical (and translation-related) flaws was a systems-rich game where you juggled allegiances as much as personal stats and resources. In their latest development blog post, Ice-Pick Lodge detail some of the interesting new systems that you’ll have to worry about, on top of everything the cult favourite demanded of you.

Hey there again you lovely people!
The next few days are going to be really special for us, as we’ve teamed-up with the amazing folks from One Gamer Fund and have put our entire library of Good Shepherd Entertainment published titles on sale for the lowest prices each respective title has ever been available for here on Steam to benefit the One Gamer Fund during its inaugural charity weekend.
The One Gamer Fund is a new philanthropic initiative comprised of seven gaming nonprofits: AbleGamers, Child’s Play, Games for Change, Global Game Jam, the IGDA Foundation, Stack-Up and Take This. Between 10 a.m. PT on Sept. 21 to 10 a.m. PT on Sept. 25, half of all proceeds generated by purchases of Good Shepherd games after Steam’s share of revenue is factored will be donated directly to the IGDA Foundation on behalf of the One Gamer Fund and subsequently dispersed among all partnering nonprofits.
This is not all though! We’ve also just launched a special new Good Shepherd Entertainment Bundle to coincide with this sale. This bundle will allow those whom already own some of our games to easily complete their set at a special additional 25% discount! This means that you can add even more gaming goodness to life whilst helping these seven amazing charities and causes.
A number of Twitch personalities will also be hosting special streams to aid the One Gamer Fund throughout the weekend. Individuals can learn more about ways to participate by visiting www.OneGamerFund.org and following @OneGamerFund on Twitter.
We can’t tell you guys how much this sales means to us and how proud we are to be a small part of helping these amazing causes. None of this would be possible without all of your help though, so on behalf of everyone involved in this benefit sale, we just wanted to say thank you very much for your continued support!
Here’s to the power of gaming!
Greetings,
The Good Shepherd Team

Ice Pick Lodge’s remake of Pathologic, their wonderfully unpleasant 2005 horror, has picked up a publisher and a confusing new name. The crowdfunded full remake is now named Pathologic 2 [official site], though it definitely is not a sequel. New publishers Tinybuild say that the name is, somehow, “to avoid confusion”. Right-o. Accompanying today’s weird news is a gameplay vidblast showing sickness, autopsy, and purification in the diseased and dying town. Observe: (more…)
The not-yet-real existence of the new Pathologic has just found additional tangibility: the game has a Steam page now. If you want to keep an eye on the game’s progress and news, there’s no better way of doing so than following said page. And you may need to do the eye-keeping fo

The not-yet-real existence of the new Pathologic has just found additional tangibility: the game has a Steam page now. If you want to keep an eye on the game’s progress and news, there’s no better way of doing so than following said page.
And you may need to do the eye-keeping for a bit longer than we were hoping. The game’s release will be postponed until Autumn, 2017. Why? Basically, Pathologic has grown in scope and ambitiousness since its inception, so it demands additional time and man-hours now. Find out more here.
But hey, at least it has a Steam page.
It’s like we’re halfway there.

Last night Ice-Pick Lodge revealed a new collection of screenshots for their HD remake of the wonderful, bizarre and previously very broken Pathologic [official site]. Looking at them, I found I was bursting with questions, so I asked them. Ice-Pick’s Alexandra Golubeva replied, in splendid detail. Below you can find out how there came to be two remakes at once – a complete rebuild and reimagining of the game and an updated-but-preserved version of the original – plus what new directions this reimagining will take, and how they’re inventing brand new ways to tell those old stories. (Click on the pics to see the new screens all bigger.)
We've failed to catch any gameplay bugs this time around (suspicious, huh), so this patch is text-based. Patch Notes: — yet more typos in the English version; — the Italian translation, generously donated to us by the game's original translators, Stefano Gaburri and Claudio Todes

Some days change everything, turning your life around when the dawn breaks. Some days are nothing more than dates switching. And some days—and nights—are in-between: while not imposing changes upon us, they provide a good opportunity to get together with the nearest and dearest and contemplate our options for the future.
It's not resolution time yet, but Christmas is the time to conceive your future plans. Like an Inquisitor's arrival, it allows us to recollect the things done and think clearer, only with presents instead of torture and mass executions.
Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it—and to those of you who don't, do have a happy time getting together with the people you love!
It's the thought that counts, after all.
(Especially when it comes down to torture.)

Pathologic Classic HD Patch 1.01 is up now. The launch of the game was generally smooth, so we're blessed with a relatively short fix list for our first patch. Nothing major has changed.
Patch Notes:
— [Audio] OpenAL bug fixed; the audio is playing normally now, leaving no one with an uncannily mute game.
— [Audio] Firestarters sound volume fixed. There'll be no more ridiculously loud cries from any distance upon firestarters being disturbed.
— [Video] Codec notification added. If you're unable to launch the game properly for the lack of codecs, the game will now notify you of this so that fixing the issue would be easier.
— [Text] A number of text bugs and typos fixed, including several embarrassing ones.

Just a quick one to start your day: in case you’ve been wondering when the surprise release of the partially remastered ‘Classic HD‘ version of notorious first-person survival game Pathologic [official site] will be, I can now answer that for you. This is not, just to clear up understandable confusion, the recently Kickstarted remake of Ice Pick Lodge’s wildly ambitious but somewhat rickety psychological oddyssey, but rather a spit’n’polished version of the original. Arguably more important than the improved graphics are the new translation and voice-acting, which for many of us was the greatest barrier to entry.
