• В Steam состоялся релиз False Hero - необычного соулслайка с механикой поглощения вражеских способностей - 22 September 2026

  На цифровой площадке Steam состоялся официальный релиз мрачного ролевого экшена False Hero, созданного австрийским разработчиком-одиночкой Флорианом Холлом под вывеской студии Torchlight Games при поддержке издательства Ytopia. Проект создавался на протяжении 6 лет, успел собрать более 60 000 добавлений в списки желаемого и добрался до прилавков даже на неделю раньше изначально запланированного срока, чтобы избежать прямого столкновения с крупными осенними релизами. Автор проекта подчеркнул, что полностью разработал игру в одиночку без привлечения краудфандинга и принципиально отказался от использования генеративного искусственного интеллекта при написании программного кода, создании трехмерных моделей и записи 43 оригинальных музыкальных композиций. Производство стартовало еще в 2019 году сразу после окончания школы, причем изначально концепция вдохновлялась приключением The Legend of…

• False Hero is out now! - 22 September 2026

  It's hard to wrap my head around it. I've been working towards this moment for so many years and I'm super excited to finally get the game into your hands!To celebrate the release I wanted to talk a little bit about the development progress of the game, what inspired me and show a little bit of concept art and work in progress pictures:The beginningI started working on the game back in 2019 when I came fresh out of school. I had just finished making a small highscore-based game and wanted to create something bigger. Zelda was always a big inspiration for me. I grew up playing Ocarina of Time and I wanted to make something similar. The design of those big interconnected dungeons with puzzles and boss fights always fascinated me. There are still remnants of this initial design idea in the game. The temples that each give you a power of the gods, which is then used for puzzle solving and c…

• Demo Patchnotes v26.8.15 - 27 August 2026

  Hi everyone!Only one more month until release! I'm super excited and working hard to get everything finalized and ready for release. I have been adding and changing a few things, so I wanted to release this patch to bring the demo up to date.Updated UIOne of the biggest changes you will notice when opening the game is the new Main Menu. The beautiful cover art was drawn by Edgar Gomez, I love how it turned out so much.I also reworked the inventory screens. The Combat Art screen is now way more readable. The equipped and unlocked Arts have moved more to the left and increased in size, and the Combat Art stats are now displayed in easy to read stat-cards.The inventory is now split into 5 horizontal sub-folders instead of one large list. This makes it way easier to find an item you're looking for since you don't have to scroll through the entire list. (Thank you to everyone in the communit…
