- Happy Chinese New Year! / Gong Xi Fa Cai - 11 February 2024
Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone or should I say Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! We just wanted to take this opportunity to greet everyone, as well as to share some information on where we are with the game at this moment. DEVELOPMENT Development is ongoing though the pace has still been a bit slow but steady. The new devs on the project have been learning the engine and they are gradually starting to improve the old levels. Bug fixing has also slowly started. ANIMATION New animations are being made to replace many of the existing animations. Our goal here is to make the animations smoother and more exciting to watch. OVER THE SHOULDER VIEW FEATURE We added a feature where you can lock the view to an over-the-shoulder view similar to the view in Marvel's Midnight Suns. Of course this is entirely optional. NPC AI We have tested and implemented the first version of our NPC AI. This is still…
- HAPPY NEW YEAR, APOLOGIES AND NEW BEGINNINGS - 31 December 2023
HAPPY NEW YEAR! First of all, let me take this opportunity to say Happy New Year to all! We hope that you all had a joyous Christmas and that you will have a prosperous 2024 ahead. APOLOGIES Next is we would like to apologize for being quiet the past year. Our primary reason was that the company was a heartbeat away from being dead for quite some time due to financial issues. We had no choice but to refocus our efforts to doing outsource work to resuscitate the company. This of course, did not happen overnight, and it took us more than a year to get back to a functional state. The second reason was we were in all honesty burnt out with Graywalkers at that time. We worked on the project for 5 years and unfortunately It did not do well due to its unpolished state, the pandemic (we released 1.5 months before the start of it), lack of marketing and many other factors. The final reason was w…
- Content Update #2 to Be Delayed By A Few Weeks - 25 October 2021
Greetings Graywalkers! We will make this announcement short and straight to the point. We are announcing this now so you will be informed that Content Update #2, which we have titled "The New Frontier" will be delayed by a couple of weeks. The reason for this is that in the past 2 months, more than half the team were either sick from covid or had been quarantined. This was an unforeseen situation and it had adversely affected our capability to do work as a team during that time. The game continues to be built but is only now getting back on track fully as the team members recover and get out of quarantine. Though we cannot yet give an official release date at this time, our target is to move it only by the amount of time we lost. This means a delay of 4-6 weeks at most from our intended release date. On a good note, we plan to open beta access to the game in progress in late November so…

- CONTENT UPDATE #2 RELEASE DATE MOVED BY 2-3 MORE MONTHS - 2 February 2021
Greetings everyone! It is now February and we know some of you might have been waiting for the release of Content Update #2 featuring the Preview to the Single Player Campaign. Unfortunately, we want to inform everybody that we are delaying the release for another 2-3 months. We know that this situation is not ideal but we felt it was for the best. We are tentatively looking at releasing it in early May 2021 for the following reasons: 1) We want to take more time to work properly on it and test the game more before we release it. This time, we plan to test them thoroughly and we simply want to focus more on quality. 2) We want to improve the quality of the models and textures in the game, as well as a few other aspects. We got the feedback and we looked at it and found that we can still improve it in many ways. 3) Our team has gotten a bit smaller, which means our development cycle has…

- Content Update #1 Moved by 1-2 Weeks - 17 August 2020
Greetings Graywalkers. We apologize but we need to move the release of Content Update #1 by another 1-2 weeks at most. There are still a few bugs and issues that we're fixing with the game before we release it. We were not too confident yet with it so we decided to take a little bit more time to work out more of the kinks. We're hoping this will be the last postponement of the content update release. Not to worry, it's a short wait and we promise you it will be worth it. Again, we apologize and we thank you for being patient.
- Content Update Moved to August 21 - 28 July 2020
We wanted to announce that we are moving the release of the new Content Update #1 for Graywalkers Purgatory to August 21, 2020. We felt that we needed to do a bit more testing, balancing and polishing before we get the update in your hands. Despite the delay though, we are excited to get the game in your hands when it does. The introduction of the Overwatch feature in the game is pretty good and we've even improved it beyond other Overwatch features from other games. Characters can now get abilities that improve their capabilities with regards to overwatch. By default, overwatch triggers when any movement or attack is made by an opponent within range. The new abilities now affect how well you function with or against Overwatch. Also, we're just polishing and testing the missions we have. We will be including about 10-12 missions with the content update but we have much more ready to fol…

You can toggle off specific autosave events or change the number of autosave slots later on, when the Options window is implemented. The Retry button on Game Over now works. Saves are now sorted by date (latest first).
