• Patch 1.2 announcement and details - 9 September 2025

  Hey SkatersAnother patch is incomin' quick, should be next week sometime! I'll list below what you can expect and then again list what was patched in the official patch notes when it releases.---Additions---Functional MirrorsThis may seem weird to add now, but it is always something I wanted in the game and it always bugged me how you could not see your reflection, so functional mirrors will be added for not much reason except just coz!Added ItemsAdditional Items will be added in some of the chapters, some were missing from the final build and some others I plan to add to address game play balancing, I won't say what will be added where, so you will have to discover them yourself!---Fixes (Major Bugs)--- Sticky Geometry- I will try my best to address sticky geo, especially in chapter 2, hopefully there will be a big difference.

• Patch 1.1 announcement and details - 24 August 2025

  Hey SkatersThank you for all your support so far, seeing everybody play and hearing feedback about Despondent has been awesome!I have compiled a list of bugs and additions I want to address in the first patch coming sometime next week, just to give you guys an idea of what to expect.---Additions---Save pointsI have been getting a lot of feedback about the difficulty of the game and the lack of save points in the longer chapters. While the game was made hard by design, it was never meant to make players have to replay it over and over again to progress. That is why I have decided to implement 2 other save points in chapter 3 and another 1 in chapter 5. Where they will be I am not sure of right now, but I can promise there will be one after the radio tower in chapter 3! I will have all the locations listed in the patch notes when it is released.Objective clarityI have also received report…

• Despondent is out NOW - 23 August 2025

  It has been a long time coming but Despondent is finally here! This game took alot of blood, sweat and tears to see it through but I would not change the experiences I have had during that time for the world. Despondent is by far not a perfect game, but I have poured heaps of love into it throughout the years and I hope that seeps through to all of you when you play. So enjoy and maybe... just maybe, make it out alive
