- Early Acce2s A1PHA v1.13 - EXPANDED DEMO - ACT 1 - 22 November 2024
2121 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 2121 Greetings Seekers, The entirety of Act 1 has just been made available for everyone to play via the free demo. At this time, we would like to make a few things perfectly clear: Consortium: THE TOWER is officially in “Development Hell”. This means that for a variety of reasons, development is currently paused. The project is NOT cancelled. If you wish to support development of Consortium: THE TOWER, the best way is to wish-list the game, buy any of our other games and/or support us via Patreon (search the internet for "patreon idgi1") The absolute latest version of THE TOWER shares the Unreal Engine 4.27 code-base that represents the completed and released CONSORTIUM VR/Remastered(PC/Meta Quest). This means that all features and improvements found in that title will be coming to THE TOWER in a future “Alpha 2.0” release, including full VR support. Our 2016 cro…

- Consortium: THE TOWER Ear1y Acce2s ALPHA v1.12 - 21 May 2024
Greetings Seekers, Other than (potentially) one more patch, this will be the final build of Consortium: THE TOWER that uses the UE4.15 engine. The TOWER project at large has long since been moved up to UE4.27 to co-exist with CONSORTIUM VR/Remastered and now shares many heavily updated resources, such as choreo systems, user interface, game mechanics, AI, a brand new save/load system and more. This updated UE4.27 version of Consortium: THE TOWER is not yet playable yet but when it is ready, it will be coming as “Alpha v2.0”. SPECIAL NOTE to all CONSORTIUM Remastered / VR players that are interested in continuing their story. We do not recommend proceeding too far past the rooftop of THE TOWER in general, if you do decide to buy and play right now. The roof is indicative of a finished part of the game, but everywhere is in various states of deep incompletion and bugginess. ALPHA v1.12 of…

Happy 21 day to all! CONSORTIUM VR Please free feel to help share the following announce trailer video far and wide across the internet: We will be sharing our Beta to the public via the Meta Quest 2 AppLab on February 21st.

When CONSORTIUM VR graduates out of Beta later this year, we will be releasing v1.0 right here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1428880/CONSORTIUM_VR The PCVR build will be largely similar to the Quest 2 build, but with the addition of a bunch of graphical options such as volumetric clouds, fully dynamic lights and shadows, amped up particles, etc. What about Consortium: THE TOWER?!

- November 2022 iDGi dev update - 22 November 2022
Happy 21 day everyone, General iDGi Dev Update The Announce Trailer for our VR INTERACTIVE CINEMA production is getting close to done. The front-end is feeling pretty good now. Credits are almost done. We’ve been continually testing, fixing and polishing the whole thing, but with a particular emphasis on on the ending and beginning. Today marks 2 years since we’ve started updating you all each and every month on the 21st. It’s also been just over a decade since we first revealed the initial glimpse of CONSORTIUM. Here is a very brief look of our game development efforts over all this time. Wait for a never before seen glimpse of Consortium: THE TOWER’s Act 2 at the end. With a bit of luck, we’ll be releasing the Announce Trailer before the December holidays and you’ll all finally realize what we’ve accomplished for VR and how it relates to THE TOWER… To all of you in the USA, we wish yo…
- October 2022 iDGi dev update - 22 October 2022
Happy 21ish day everyone, General iDGi Dev Update Our VR INTERACTIVE CINEMA production has now technically, FINALLY reached early BETA! However – contrary to what we told you last month, we still aren’t ready to let new playtesters in just yet. We’re a very small team and can only move so fast and work on so much at one time. We’ve been working on things like the game ending, credits, the front-end and the announce teaser trailer video. Once this video is ready, we’ll properly announce the project and make our store pages live! THEN we’ll let in the first wave of beta testers… Here’s a new little glimpse of something else we’ve been working on via iDGi-1: VR INTERACTIVE CINEMA Streamer List of 21 Calling all VR game streamers! We are now actively looking for no more than 21 folks who are into streaming VR games, with the only requirement being that said streamer must have an audience of…

- 21TWENTY ONE21 - 22 July 2022
Greetings 212121s, Today, we have a continuation of some technical details of the C-3800 Consortium Command vessel. We are happy to report that if things keep going well, within a handful of weeks we will finally reach the early Beta stage of both SKUs of our VR Interactive Cinema experience ( Meta Quest 2 and PCVR ). This means that the entire VR Interactive Cinema experience is poised to be playable from beginning to end, is largely feature complete and only requires more polish and testing. Until next month, peace and love to you all! It’s back to work for us... Namaste, --iDGi “Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

- 212121 - 212121- 212121 - 22 June 2022
Happy 21 day everyone, Here is a (work in progress) glimpse of something we’ve been working on. We’ve recently learned these C-3800 technical details via iDGi-1. We continually strive to fully understand the emission free C-3800 propulsion technology so that we might make use of it here in our world, where the global aviation industry is currently tied so inextricably to fossil fuels. Until next month, may all of you stay safe and healthy… Namaste, --iDGi “The ecological crisis is doing what no other crisis in history has ever done — challenging us to a realization of a new humanity.” – Jean Houston
- 21_____________21 - 22 May 2022
Happy 21 day everyone, General iDGi Dev Update Recent testing of our VR game has yielded the type of feedback we were hoping for. We’ve been spending a great deal of time lately on a major optimization pass for the VR game (Quest 2 native…) in addition to a ton of tasks related to the most recent 21 day video we posted. Here is a (work in progress) glimpse of something we’re working on… Until next month when we should have another video glimpse… Namaste, --iDGi “Perfect is the Enemy of Good.” –Voltaire

Happy 21 day everyone, General iDGi Dev Update We’ve recently sent out the latest builds of our VR game and Whispers From The Rift for testing. In addition to taking a bit of a break, we’ve been working through tasks related to last month’s video, and we’ve recently found a few additional details of ZENLIL’s lounge via iDGi-1… Until next month….

Happy 21 day everyone, General iDGi Dev Update Freshly updated builds of both our VR game and Whispers From The Rift are undergoing final preparations for going out the door. We will also shortly be letting more folks into the pre-beta test. For those interested, watch for incoming emails and Discord announcements. Whispers now has double the number of brainscan illustrations from the previous build, and the VR Game continues to inch closer to beta each day. Here is a brief glimpse of a couple things we’ve been working on with iDGi-1… Once again until next month, it’s back to work for us.

- 21 Day - A brief glimpse and update. - 22 February 2022
Happy 21 22 day everyone, General iDGi Dev Update After a few weeks of internal testing, debugging and fixing, we finally sent keys out to the first wave of testers for the pre-beta testing for our VR game. If you are a Tower backer that signed up for testing and haven’t received your key, that means you’ve been assigned to the second wave, roughly around early April. Whispers From The Rift is still in the middle of being upgraded with many new brainscan images. How many in total will it have once done? No-one can say at this time. Peek into the Whispers From The Rift channel in our iDGi Discord to see a sneak peek at another new image. We’ve been steadily receiving updated iDGi-1 Virtual Trainer data of all sorts. Here is a brief snippet of something we’ve recently been transcribing... https://youtu.be/aJGnL16ShBE Until next month, it’s back to the dev caves for us… Namaste, --iDGi “Th…
- 21 Day - Epic MegaGrant and the iDGi-1 updated Info Console - 22 January 2022
Happy 21 day everyone, We are thrilled beyond words to be able to announce that in December of 2021, our currently still technically secret VR project was selected to receive an Epic MegaGrant! This MegaGrant is enabling us to hunker down and focus on getting the game done and ready for release. We are honored and extremely grateful to Epic Games for their awesome support and acknowledgment that we're really onto something with this project. We are now more confident than ever that our upcoming release will clearly point the way for everyone to easily imagine the limitless creative possibilities that exist within a brand new genre: VR INTERACTIVE CINEMA. We told you all before that we would be properly announcing the project upon reaching Beta. However, now that we’ve had time to really think about the marketing side of things, we’ve decided to internally focus hard on taking us to beta…

Happy 21 day everyone, The Tower: Here is an in-progress shot of something we’re working on. Whispers: Since the “Canon Continuation Chapters” (CCCs) for Consortium: The Tower prequel Whispers From The Rift (formerly known as the “meta-endings”) were completed last month, we have been working to get the actual program itself ready for a general public beta release! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1099900/Whispers_From_The_Rift/ The CCCs have all been polished, edited and integrated into the program itself. The entire first chapter of the experience has received a big polish pass based on more playtesting feedback. The game now features actual whispers. We’ve just released version 0.9.6.21 of Whispers From The Rift to our closed beta testing group and we are still on track to release the first public beta and open up Steam playtests in December...
