The past few weeks have been fairly calm. After the rapid-fire moment-to-moment craziness of expanding rapidly, we finally had a period of quiet production. Don’t mistake me, things are moving very quickly, but they are moving slowly. This devblog will mainly focus on our changin
The last two months since the previous blog have been action-packed. There have been two huge events in the studios history and they will translate into a much better version of Prisoner coming soon. First, we were funded. We won a pitch competition for the game that had a substa
The last several weeks have been huge for the studio. Things here have been so furious that there was little time left to even publish full devblogs (most of the information over the last few weeks has been pushed in the form of steam announcements). We’ve launched the game, we’v

Just to update you all on our progress in getting the next build of the game ready, we'll go ahead and give a sneak peak of what's coming! We've undergone some basic playability fixes recently, including a robust options menu, some improvements to the lighting in the game, and so
Another new build has gone live with many bugfixes an QOL improvements Bugfixes: We discovered a hidden bug that was causing the monsters to not chase you after your first death in the early (first 8) days of the game. This has been fixed and now the first few days should have a
We come to you today with yet another update for the game that includes pathing fixes for the prisoners to remove some awkwardness. We also made the jump animation a little smoother in some situations. On the topic of prisoner animation: you have been heard. While many of the ani
We've just solved the last of the play-impeding bugs that we are aware of (and added jumping due to popular demand). Tomorrow we have a large list of changes to the content to help with the delivery of some portions of our game that people have not been clear on. We also made one
Being live in early access means each build of the game will have room for improvement. We are very committed to our continued improvement and, as such, we have created a new discussion tab specifically for reporting bugs. T here is a stickied post with more information in that t

Dev blog for the week of January 14th This last week in the studio has been impossibly busy across every department. As we get closer to the release of this game, the studio is struggling to stay on top of the workload. Across the board, we are moving into final stages of creatio
This week was the week of visual improvements and fixes. Moving forward to the new version of Unreal 4 (4.18.2) from our old version (4.17.2) meant a massive amount of bug fixes, code re-writes and asset management. On the bright side, this brought us a far better in- model physi
