- CONSORTIUM Remastered: V1.1.1 - 22 August 2024
Thank-you to the folks that pointed out how unfinished the HUD and GUI still was. Hopefully our changes here are close to what you were hoping to see! IMPROVEMENTS: -Polishing pass of interface and HUD - corrected a number of fonts and colors to better pair with the HUD font/color paradigm established in Consortium: THE TOWER. -Updated the Info Console - accuracy improvements and other minor fixes, now in sync with stand-alone Info Console program. FIXES: -Fixed rare/edge case non-progression that would occur upon loading a saved game made during Knight 15’s opening speech just before she hands over the CMC - in this one case, her hand would be empty. (fixes the one and only case where an ISS has started but was paused so will play again (K15 group 80) but had the flag HasPlayed already set so would not fire the started logic again which caused the CMC to be missing from K15s hand).

- CON2ORT1UM VR / Rema21ered: v1.1.0 212121 - 22 June 2024
Happy 2olst1ce 2eekers1 ! You can now play chess against the Zenlil A.I in the lounge…can you beat the machine? This feature is very likely to be the final “cherry on top” for this production. THANK-YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has helped us track down and fix the lingering issues that we missed leading up to the release. The iDGi roadmap for the next little while: July 21, 2024: FREE Info Console stand-alone app. (android/PC). August 21, 2024: CONSORTIUM Remastered/VR Soundtrack Revision notes: IMPROVEMENTS: -The chessboard in the Zenlil lounge can now be used to play chess against A.I. -Added social links to front end FIXES: -Fixed cases of the players orientation getting broken after being in the med bed causing movement to become very strange and broken -Meta Quest: Fixed glaring performance issues in the VT missile defense (turned off sky material in C3800 for mobile for time being)…
- CONSORTIUM Remastered: v1.0.7 - 18 June 2024
FIXES: -Fixed non-progression bug that could happen with the controls for leaving the Bishop’s bed after dismissing pawn64 because you told him the truth about wade listening in. Now properly allows the player to get out of bed at the right time, if they choose to (for meeting with K15 or use the VT), and will carry onto the dream if they stay in bed. -Fixed non-progression bug that could happen after the Pawn 64 "incident" if you told R25 about the traitor organically (as opposed to her asking you...). Now correctly forces the player to meet with K15 -Fixed issue where if the Pawn 64 incident occured *and* the player has not yet told R25 who they think the trator is, the timing of meeting up with K15 at her office was screwed up. -Fixed timing with K15 showing up to open her office if the Pawn 64 incident did not occur, preventing an unnecessarily long wait for her to show up -Fixed er…
- CONSORTIUM Remastered: V1.0.6 - 13 June 2024
FIXES: -Fixed issue where the "use virtual trainer or sleep in your bed" objective could clear too early, making it unclear to some players how to progress (and was mistaken for a "soft-lock" at least once). -Fixed issue where washroom light glitches would not be active in the last half of the stream. -Fixed not being able to rebind axis keyboard controls -Added button to revert all input rebindings to defaults -Fixed rebound conversation select keys not showing the rebound key name on the conversation select HUD elements
- CONSORTIUM Remastered v1.0.5 - 8 June 2024
Fixed crash when loading saved game that could occur. FIXES: -Fix for loading game crash which occured in a recent report. The exact cause is still unknown, but fixes and mitigations have been added. -Improved stream end text lines for Kiril incapacitated when gassed
- CONSORTIUM Remastered: V1.0.4 - 6 June 2024
If you report ‘em, we’ll fix ‘em. FIXES: -Fixed being able to erroneously heal Wade after he's rescued by R13 -Fixed issue where the convo with K15 about dancing could be triggered twice. -Fixed traitor battle music not playing correctly -Fixed the traitor setting off the first flee elevator logic when attacking from the virtual trainer or Bishop 8s cabin if they accidentally move into the elevator to flee incoming attack -Fixed zenlil core health sometimes getting stuck on during save reload
- CONSORTIUM VR / Remastered: V1.0.3 Ending Hotfix - 30 May 2024
-Fixed the ending iDGi decent tunnel not loading correctly in some circumstances and causing the ending to hang
- CONSORTIUM Remastered v1.0.2 - 29 May 2024
We have fixed all of the remaining issues reported to us (and more…)! (we think…) Fixes include a really bad bug that would happen when saving/loading universes during the last half of the narrative stream - this bug could cause all sorts of havoc, including breaking the “saving wade” sequence, virus again, etc. While there may still be lingering unknown issues, the build should be in solid shape now! Kindly let us know if you run into any more problems, and we’ll fix ‘em right away. MAJOR FIXES: -Fixed issue where any universes loaded during the last half of the narrative stream would fire off all the starting logic for the last half of the stream (logic that should only ever fire once…), CAUSING HAVOC. (Fixed OnStart on logic_choreo_scene ents firing again when a level was restored on any choreo ents which were currently running) -Fixed traitor not being damageable. (Fixed scripted se…
- CONSORTIUM Remastered v1.0.1 - 25 May 2024
Our deepest apologies to everyone who hit these issues! We are watching all feedback closely - kindly consider posting any issues you find in the Bugs and Issues forum either on Discord, or here on Steam. FIXES: -Fixed issue where players could get stuck on the bed, causing a non-progression. -Fixed issues where the VT Civilian Defense scenarios could not be loaded/played at all, due to an issue we introduced just before 1.0.0 🙁 -Fixed timing issues around K15 coming to her office and the player arriving at the office that were pretty bad in the case where players just spoke to pawn 64. -Fixed issue where the Chapter 6 save could erroneously occur inside the elevator in certain circumstances
- CONSORTIUM Remastered: Final BETA 7 (v0.1.40) - 10 February 2024

(Total now 84 and counting...) -Hooked up timers and existing choreo sequences for the player taking too long to get into the medbed, now failing the mission if player waits for too long, bed reverts to normal. -Virus now does more things at the moment where the player is hailed down by Pawn 64. -Improvements to when a world HUD should be placed / is ready to be placed because the initial bounds has been calculated C3800 Defense Minigame: Crosshair circle added Crosshair circle added Old targets now stay relevant for a time in the C3800 Minigame which allows for firing when not quite on the target. Works for lasers and missile targeting. Turned off unneccesary fighter crosshair stuff reduced C3800 left side…

- Immersive sim Consortium delisted to make way for a remaster, free to owners of the original - 23 April 2023
In his deep dive on the history of the best immersive sims , Rick Lane called 2014's Consortium "a dynamic murder mystery that takes place inside a giant military plane" that was "rather rough around the edges". Some of those edges are about to be sanded smooth, with indie developer Interdimensional Games announcing via Steam blog post that it's developing Consortium Remastered... Read more.
