- Lying Souls - Release & Development News - 10 May 2022
News Hello everyone, I'm getting back to you personally after a long break to give you some information about the development, the release and the team. Again an information about myself, I am and was the only developer of this project and received only intermittent support and encouragement in some places. I just used services for music composition and translation. Otherwise Lying Souls is all alone my project. This will certainly remain so in the near future. That was also part of the reason for the longer break now. I still want to realize my vision, even if I'm not working with 10 other developers now. Of course, the whole thing takes a lot of time, which is why the release of Lying Souls has been postponed several times. I've made some important decisions about Lying Souls, or much more the game studio itself, in the last few days. Actually relatively positive for everyone who want…
- Lying Souls - Development State & Other News - 18 December 2021
News There is a lot of news about Lying Souls and we will show you the current development state. Recently, Lying Souls was included in the list of Top Steam games in December by a gaming website. We wanted to thank you all together for that. Go to the article here. We removed the Redstack Edition of Lying Souls from the store. We decided to bring all the content of the edition into the main game. The team size of Troxy Studios has changed. Lying Souls has actually always been a solo project, I just had help with the planning and looked for inspiration. The other team members, for example, checked my Lying Souls story for logic erros. So I am also the only developer of Lying Souls since the beginning and the others are part of the Creative Team. We have published some very meaningful leaks about Lying Souls in the last few days, regarding the story of the game. We will continue with tha…
- Performance & Light adjustments - 3 June 2021
Performance We're getting right back to you shortly after our demo for Lying Souls became available to everyone. We got a lot of good feedback from you guys. However, we did notice a few things. The majority of players don't get the performance they should. That's why we decided to look into it. In this small update (version 1.0.3a) we have done something to the performance of the whole game. Lying Souls now offers on average about 22% better frames on every graphics setting & system. We are aware that Lying Souls is a hardware hungry game. This will not change in the full version. But with this we wanted to get one step closer to good performance. Light adjustments Additionally, we noticed that some players were not able to see all of the demo content due to their screen or other settings. Some places in the playable area were displayed too dark as a result. We have fundamentally made…
- Lying Souls - Demo available! - 1 June 2021
Lying Souls Demo now available! As already announced, our demo is now free & available for everyone. You have access to the whole content of the demo and can take a look at it yourself. Feel free to let us know what you think of the demo after you've played it! There will probably also be a small content update for the demo so that it can exist like this forever. This will add a small expansion to the playable area, and with it a few more small hints about the full version of the game itself. At the moment the demo is only available in German. It is planned to make the demo available in English as well, as soon as we have everything ready. We hope you have fun with the demo and look forward to the full version. Of course we have some special things planned for the next months, so we don't just wait for the release from now on. Have fun and of course: Thank you for your support and the p…
- Lying Souls - The Demo - 14 May 2021
Private & public demo for Lying Souls! We recently announced that there would be a private test demo for youtubers and streamers to present the game to you from their channels. This would have given you a rough idea of what to expect in Lying Souls. First of all, the date for the start of the private demo is now fixed. The test phase starts on May 20th at 4pm CEST approx. After the start, the playtesters have about 2-3 weeks to play the demo. After the 2-3 weeks, we would have disabled the demo and removed it completely from the Steam store, as it was not planned to have a public demo. Now things have changed and we will provide a public demo for Lying Souls in the future. The exact date has not been set yet, but you can expect 4-5 weeks after the private demo. Price & Updates So this demo is offered for free on the Steam store page of Lying Souls, giving potential buyers a glimpse of w…

This demo is intended as a showcase for the public and should give a small insight into what Lying Souls will later become.

The demo will be shown for example at Sev's YouTube channel. Check back there in the next few weeks to make sure you don't miss it. As soon as content is available in different videos & streams, we will let you know again! Interesting news about the soundtrack for Lying Souls!
