• Remaster Update - 16 November 2023

  I wanted to start a thread here to keep you all updated on the remaster. I am working on it, and after playing it again I am still proud of the work we did on it, but it needs work for sure! I'm not entirely convinced I can turn it into hit, but I owe all of you who paid hard earned money to play it at least an attempt at making it right. I'll leave a few stills of the graphical updates here, I can't show in screenshots the work I'm doing to make Harper move better, but rest assure I am working on it. I'd like to explain what I think is the issue... We used a technique called root motion on Grey Skies, which basically means the movement of the player comes entirely from the data in the animation, so, for example, when you point in a direction other than the one you are facing, the players character model is told "hey, the player is trying to go in this direction" so an animation would b…

• Addressing the poor reception of Grey Skies - 15 July 2023

  After a couple of years of crippling personal issues that kept me away from development, I came back to find that Grey Skies has issues, and has been reviewed extremely poorly. I was unaware of just how bad it was until recently. I came back to it with fresh eyes after more than two years and completely understand the issues most people have taken with it. I still think that underneath these issues we made a decent game. So I am remastering the game with new technologies that have become available, and my own improved knowledge of development. I will read through all the concerns carefully and address each one, paying close attention to the most common complaints, such as clunky movement and frustrating stealth elements. I really appreciate each and every one of you that took a chance on it. So the remaster will be automatically added to any library that already owns the original Grey S…

• Play the demo! - 24 January 2021

  Hey everyone! Now it's quite obvious this game has people divided, we're majorly disappointed that we have a “Mixed” review score, but we try to keep in mind that mixed doesn’t necessarily mean bad. So, to give people on the fence a chance to make up their mind we’ve released a free demo. The demo takes place a couple of hours into the game, with a few upgrades already unlocked and dropping you straight into a moderately challenging part of the experience. We really hope the demo helps some of you make a more informed choice when deciding whether you would like to play it or not. Thanks for the support!

• Hotfix 1.02 - 3 January 2021

  We had reports of an achievement bug which has now been fixed. If you completed the game it should unlock automatically in the main menu. Otherwise it'll either unlock at the correct point, or when you complete the game if you already past it. Thanks!

• Update 1.01 - 15 December 2020

  Hi Guys! Firstly, I want to thank the people that took a chance and supported us! We've just pushed the first patch which is available now. Addressing the most important issues. Changes Made changes to Harpers collision response, she'll no longer suddenly stop on hitting objects. This was causing her to get stuck on corners and props. This change makes the controls feel much smoother and far less clunky. Fixed a bug where the reverb system could potentially cause crackly audio when Alt+Tabbing. Added a quit button, this one shouldn't have been necessary, it slipped us, we're really sorry about that. Fixed a potential bug in the Visitor Center that would cause Jack to stop speaking and halt progress, requiring a restart. Generic optimizations to world geometry, including draw distance optimization where appropriate and new LOD's. We'll be keeping an eye on the discussion board for any ot…
