- Sir, You Are Being Hunted: 1.5 Patch, And Announcing The Reinvented Edition (!) - 3 September 2021
Hello there. You probably saw this already, but ICYMI: Sir, You Are Being Hunted has been updated for the first time in several years, with the 1.5 patch. 64-bit Mac support is now a thing, loads of bugs have been squashed, and the servers are back online for multiplayer. Not only that but we've announced future plans for a remaster of the original game in 2022, produced by our friends at Dutch studio Den Of Thieves Games. They are long term fans of the title, and understand exactly what makes the game tick. We're excited to confirm a new, standalone game, with new gameplay options, new UI, and overhauled visuals, all developed in the charming, silly, scary spirit of the original game. Discounts will be available for everyone who owns the classic edition of Sir, You Are Being Hunted. If you would like to support us in this new venture, then a wishlist always goes a long way. https://sto…

- THE LIGHT KEEPS US SAFE hits V1.0 and transmogrifies its way out of Early Access! - 5 September 2019
Hello, (procedurally generated) World! As the headline quoth, we are out of Early Access and on to v1.0! Here’s a trailer for you to get those v1.0 chills... https://youtu.be/61k1QHWn9go For this update we’ve just pushed to Steam there are some minor gameplay tweaks, bunker layout changes, and audio fixes. We’ve gone back in and messed about with the generation templates - the menu we give the level-generation system - so that the levels produce better environments. The initial zone is unchanged, but you’ll find the others now build tweaked worlds that are slightly more challenging. (Don't forget we addressed issues with the spider-craft in an earlier update.) There are also performance tweaks in this version, although there are still some odd generations that seem to hit performance without our profiler giving us a clear picture of why! We’ve tried to streamline shaders and such to avo…
- ANCIENT ENEMY, Summer Sales, & The Next THE LIGHT KEEPS US SAFE Update Incoming! - 7 July 2019
Hello you. Just a quick update about two things, the first is that ANCIENT ENEMY, the card game that Jim has been working on with Grey Alien Games, is available for wishlist, and isn't too far off release (date TBC!) and if it's your sort of thing then we'd definitely appreciate support! Jim has been overseeing the art direction (his first 2D game!) and wrote the story. We're hugely excited to have worked with two fabulous artists, Dan Emmerson and Jen Pattison. Jake at Grey Alien has had years of experience at this sort of thing, and we're anticipating a tremendous game a bit later this year. Here's a teaser trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep_m4tg1HHI And the main page for plenty more info and that all-important wishlist link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/993790/Ancient_Enemy/ THE LIGHT STUFF Additionally, we're speeding towards the next update for THE LIGHT KEEPS US SAF…

- The Itch.io summer sale includes Thumper and The Signal From T lva for cheaps - 20 June 2018
Games. You want them, Itch.io sells them, and to facilitate that process it’s put 606 of the things on sale. I like that they’ve taken the polar opposite approach to Steam’s shenanigans for their own summer sale , and surrounded the discounts with absolutely zero guff. I know some people buy into the badges and whatnot, but after years of Valve’s bombarding me with cutesy treehouse animals, those avatars have started landing on the manipulative side of corporate fun. Read on for my picks from this refreshingly minimalist sale, which include the likes of heart-squelching rhythm action-game Thumper and soul-squashing robo-shooter The Signal from T lva . (more…)
- Has The Signal from T lva been improved by its updates? - 2 May 2018
Update Night is a fortnightly column in which Rich McCormick revisits games to find out whether they’ve been changed for better or worse. It s grim up north, and only partly because I m being shot at by a gang of robots. The Polar Regions a new and free campaign for first-person shooter The Signal from T lva is so named because it s set in a chilly and inhospitable wasteland, home to rusting hulks of machinery, non-Euclidean bunkers, as well as those aforementioned robots. They re not all trying to shoot at me, to be fair, but enough of them are that s causing me problems. I m back on the quietly spooky planet of T lva for a second adventure, although it s not so much back the Polar Regions campaign technically takes place six months before the events of the main game, and sets up the original T lva storyline with some light investigation work.

- A quick peek at The Signal From T lva s frosty expansion - 26 March 2018
As influential as the STALKER series has been, Big Robot’s The Signal From T lva is one of the few shooters to properly replicate its blend of emergent open-world wandering and sci-fi spookiness. T lva was admittedly a little on the short side, but Big Robot are generous sorts, and are just about ready to roll out a major free expansion for the game. Alice took a look at the Polar Regions expansion a while back , which promises more mysteries, laser-fights and exploration in new and colder climes, but now we’ve got a goodly chunk of gameplay footage, along with promises from Big Robot that it’s very nearly ready to be rolled out. Within, lasers glittering across ice, and plenty more robots doing robot things. (more…)
- The secret to The Signal From T lva s punchy combat - 17 January 2018
The valley below me is alive with orange, pink, and green lasers. Two enemy robot factions, bandits and zealots, are battling it out, and neither has seen me yet. One bandit hangs back and fires a sniper rifle, its tracer streaking across the scene with an electronic screech that echoes off the hillsides. The beam smashes into the first zealot with a sound of crunching metal, and the robot crumbles. The second bandit moves forward, powering up a beam weapon, a wide red jet that distorts the air around it and crackles with energy. In response, the nearest zealot beeps into action, sounding a siren before booting up a shield with a hiss, a matrix of light extending from the front of his armor.    But that shield doesn’t last long. When it powers down with an unmistakable whoosh I pounce, alongside my two AI companions. I aim down my sight, pull the trigger, and the zealot…
