Latest Steam announcements

• Change of Price and Next Game - 29 October 2025

  I have now decided to lower the price of Forest - The Call For Help as it is fully completed and I have no plans on adding content. However, for the last few months I have been working on a first person zombie round based shooter and I'm close to preparing a demo to showcase and get feedback from. I have been uploading shorts of game mechanics for anyone interested. Thank you,Tom

• Optimisation Fix - 6 April 2025

  I have found a way to reduce 2/3 of the trees in the starting forest to get the fps up to 60 on a 4060 12gb on highest settings. Hopefully people can enjoy the game now without frames dorpping below 30

• Sale And Mouse Showing On Main Menu Fix - 31 March 2025

  For 1 Week Forest will be on sale at 10% off. I have also fixed an issue where the mouse cursor wasn't showing in the main menu when launching the game.

• Patch Fixing - 27 March 2025

  I was made aware of the introduction cutscene not playing upon pressing play and the camera not moving around on mouse. Although I have managed to fix this it has come at the unfortunate loss of controller support. Since I added controller support the game has started to have bugs (since there weren't any after playtesting). If there are anymore bugs please review, or email me at [email protected] so we can make this game as smooth as possible. Thanks, Thomas

• Further Optimisation Update - 9 March 2025

  Hopefully with these few changes on high mode the game will run at atleast 30 frames for people to enjoy the game at the best quality

• Next Horror Game - 9 March 2025

  Hi everyone, I am currently streaming every now and then my next game. I have already streamed a few times and made good progress on the first area of the game. If you want to check out this journey heres my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Arakan09 This next game is going to be a lot better and bigger than Forest. I'm gonna be doing more modelling and texturing so the game won't be as badly optimised. Thomas

• Game Now Playable - 4 March 2025

  As a first time publisher unexpected bugs were released with the game, some gamebreaker. In the past few days I have fixed all the bugs I am aware of. Thanks again for everyones patience and sticking with Forest - The Call For Help. Hopefully everyone can now enjoy the game.

• Fixed Optimisation - 4 March 2025

  The 2 quality settings are now working without Fatal errors

• Testing Patch Fix - 4 March 2025

  As I can't test this off Steam I'm making sure the patch works

• Patches Soon - 4 March 2025

  After fixing the optimisation to make the game run more smoothly (still adjusting some things to make it more smooth) there is a few more bugs that need to be fixed. I will be trying to fix these bugs as soon as possible and will bring out an update with bugs fixed and game sorted. Feel free to play in the meantime but expect little bugs, remember to save just incase. Thanks for your patience and I can't wait for people to finally be able to Enjoy Forest - The Call For Help. P.S if you are to play it before patch don't click on the quality settings as it will fatal crash - the base quality is set to low but the game still looks good

• Testing Fatal Error 1.0 - 4 March 2025

  Testing Fatal Error 1.0

• Fixing Optimisation - 4 March 2025

  This patch should improve optimisation massively

• Earlier Build - 4 March 2025

  New patch didn't work. Will upload a sooner build for the game for the time being. If you play the game before I fix everything make sure to keep saving incase anything else goes wrong

• Another Patch - 3 March 2025

  So when playtesting the game on Unreal Engine and Steam everything worked fine but after release the game seems to run poorly and drop frames, during this time I've set the default settings to low. I will be trying to fix this issue as soon as possible to get the game looking and running better. Thank you for your patience

• Aftermath - 3 March 2025

  After finishing Forest - The Call For Help I'm working on my next title. I have made a video already explaining the story and characters. This game will be a lot bigger and more ambitious then Forest so if you're interested please watch the video:)

• Patch (added a few screen resolution changes and 2 quality settings) - 2 March 2025

  You can now change your screen resolution and the quality of the game between low and high

• Patch - 1 March 2025

  I have fixed the issue with the camera and first cutscene not playing after clicking start. Thank you for your patience and hopefully the game can be enjoyed now:)

• Release Bug - 1 March 2025

  I am aware of a bug in the game where you need to hold down a mouse button to look around. Unfortunately this was not happening on my final playtest so I'm currently working on a fix. Sorry for the inconvinience for the people who have played it. Working on a fix now

• Forest - The Call For Help Now Released - 1 March 2025
