• Version 1.30.2 Update - 30 October 2024

  In this update, alongside some standard bug fixes and patches you'll be among the first to test out a new map with a new type of enemy. More specifically, looking for your feedback regarding the art style and design of this new level to enable a decision to be made regarding the next steps for development. You can access and test the new map by clicking on: Campaign > Select Chapter > SP.1 in the title screen Through very limited testing, a new bug has been identified; choppy animations / movement. If you are experiencing this stutter when talking or performing animations as the player, please drop a comment on this post. Analysis of player data is limited from a development perspective, unless players decide to enable the game log and send it over. This update is to commemorate the 1 year anniversary since Shrieking Darkness released on Steam, showcasing how far the game has come over…

• Version 1.25 Update - 28 July 2024

  Introduction Welcome to one of the game's biggest updates yet, celebrating the project's 5th development birthday. This update has been primarily focused around YOUR feedback, thank you to those of you that have contributed by leaving constructive reviews. As you may already know, I'm a single man development team so adding new features and improving the game takes a lot of time; especially considering I work full time too and the codebase for this game has grown to a ridiculous size and has become incredibly complicated to work on. Biggest Changes Even if you don't play the latest update, I'd really appreciate it if you took the time to take a look at some of the below changes I've been working on this week that are in this update. New Gun A new shotgun has been added to the game, making 4 different campaign weapons. One of the biggest issue I personally have with this game and I've se…

• 1.21.3 Update - New Gamemodes & Bug Fixes - 9 February 2024

  Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this. Based on feedback from some older reviews, I've decided to remove the demo from the store page and port it into the base game. This will prevent any further negative impressions before playing the game. The demo has not been updated in several months as the main focus has been on the base game. The demo isn't the only thing that's been added to the base game though, I've also added a very experimental forest survival minigame. You can also now view the latest changelog from the game's title screen, alongside some other bug fixes and features. As per usual, you can view the latest changelogs here: https://renovatesoftware.com/deploy/shrieking-darkness/

• Early Mod Support & Multiplayer - 17 December 2023

  Hello everyone, thank you for following the continued development of Shrieking Darkness! I've been working hard in my spare time to bring new features to the game, such as multiplayer and mod support. Version 1.20.2 is capable of these operations to a basic level but requires heavy testing and feedback from you. I'll continue to improve the game based on your feedback and will ensure that the game becomes more stable over time, whilst adding new features to keep your interest, If you have any immediate issues with the game, don't forget to submit a bug report at: https://renovatesoftware.com/report-bug/ and you can view the updated game documentation at: https://renovatesoftware.com/docs/shrieking-darkness/ or the changelog here: https://renovatesoftware.com/deploy/shrieking-darkness/

• Version 1.20 Update - News, Roadmap & More! - 4 November 2023

  Introduction Today a major update has been released - version 1.20. This may seem like a confusing version number as the previous build was version 0.0.1.9.7 and we've jumped into a completely different scale. The primary decision to change the version number is due to the release of the game and lack of time for development - the original plan did not quite fit the end result - we were also breaking Steam's agreement for a game release with the previous version number. Steam Deck & Gamepad Support We will not be verifying compatibility for the Steam deck any time soon, this would take far too long and would require large amounts of testing. Basic actions can be performed on a gamepad input device but that is where the support will end. It is highly recommended that you play with a keyboard as there are more keys for binding actions. Bugs & Glitches After your feedback, there have been…

• Pre-Release Development Update - 20 October 2023

  Are you ready for the full release of Shrieking Darkness this Halloween? I've been working tirelessly for the past 3 years on Shrieking Darkness in my spare time and it's finally time to let the bird fly from its nest. The game will have minor bugs during release, no game is perfect but it will at least be beatable and an enjoyable, frightening experience. I've recently started a new full-time job, so working on the game is a lot harder now but updates will be coming. You will be able to purchase the game for free on the 31st of October 2023, it would mean a lot for you to try it out. It's not just my hard work, but also various other people who have put in hours of their lives into making this product become a reality. The reason the game is free is due to the fact the game has not received as much traction as I would have liked and feel as though barely anyone would play it if it was…

• We're On Track - 8 August 2023

  Release Progress Update I have just received recent confirmation that Shrieking Darkness has been approved by Valve to be released on Steam. This was a large part in ensuring the game's release date would be the 31st of October as there are often many actions to be taken to get a game approved (and there were). On release day, there will be a 10% discount on the game making it possible for more players to join us in celebrating a long 3 years of development and making Halloween the official anniversary of the game's release. In case you didn't know, Shrieking Darkness has been developed entirely by 1 person here at Renovate Software - that person is me. It's taken quite some commitment to remain on track and vigilant to accomplish the game's current state of development. The game will not be released as an early access product as we luckily have enough loyal fans that are helping test t…

• Shrieking Darkness - Development Update | #nextfest - 23 June 2023

  Feel free to jump into our livestream today where we shall be showcasing the development of the game and even playing the demo. Come and ask questions and learn more about the game in general.

• The demo is now available! - 7 February 2023

  We're pleased to finally announce the release of the Shrieking Darkness gameplay demo on Steam! You can download and play the demo by heading over to the store page and pressing "Download". The demo version of the game deviates from the main storyline of the base game, however the purpose of the demo is to simply showcase gameplay features and graphics. It's relatively short in duration, beaten in about 25 minutes. The demo includes two simple achievements and steam cloud saving, you can also link your Renovate Software account for additional cloud-saving functionality. Further development could have taken place on extending the gameplay of the demo and including more gameplay mechanics from the base game, however with the deadline of the full game releasing in just half a year, we have to change our priorities.

• Development Update - Demo Progress - 12 December 2022

  Demo Build Update Hello everyone, firstly we'd like to thank you for following Shrieking Darkness and its development on Steam. It's a long ride for us, however we want to ensure that everything has been properly configured and tested on Steam. Talking about testing, soon we'll be asking our internal testing group to playtest the demo version of Shrieking Darkness! That's right, we've been working tirelessly on building the demo build of the game as of recent and we're almost ready for the next step. You will be contacted by a Renovate Software staff member when it's time to test the demo build of the game. Your feedback will be invaluable to us, so please ensure that you remain professional. There's also been a recent live stream, illustrating and discussing the development of the game. If you haven't already seen it, you can click here to watch it. Status Of Infrastructure Improvement…

• Development Update - Infrastructure Improvements Delayed - 11 November 2022

  Infrastructure Improvements Delay - Breakdown Due to a lack of communication from our local internet service provider, the test builds have been delayed for launch by at least 4 weeks. With incredibly slow upload speeds that compete with dial-up internet and the largest development projects we've ever worked with, backing up our work is currently not really an option (on site backups are now being considered). Also, this means that work has also been delayed in developing the game as we can't do this while uploading the development files. The Current State Of Development Test Build - This build is in pretty good shape, chapter 1 is now finished and we're now working on chapter 2. Once local infrastructure improvements have taken place, we'll be sure to get this out to our testers (you already know who you are). Demo Build - We're far behind with this one, for us to enter the game into S…
