[b]THE SHOOTING SESSIONS[/b]
To start off, at the beginning of 2023 we got a [url=https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/megagrants]Mega Grant[/url] from Epic Games. This has helped us a lot to keep working on the project without needing to use our savings ????

[b]THE DEV TEAM[/b]
In terms of the game itself, we continue working with the unmatched team of graphic artists: El Toreh as concept artist and illustrator, Attar doing most of the pixel art and Pedrito Caval in pixel art and animations for characters.

[b]PLAYABLE DEMO[/b]
This month of September 2023 was without a doubt the most important month for Tenebris Somnia to date. After working for more than a year on the project, both in development and making the movies, we finally launched a playable demo of the game so everybody can taste a small bit of what this dark and twisted survival horror adventure is all about. Didn’t try the demo yet? Go to the next link and find the big green button to start the download ???? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2121510/Tenebris_Somnia/ Since the release of the demo, we have been reading and listening to every opinion and feedback you gave us. Even though the reception was great in general, there were some things to fix and improve. So we have made a quick update to the demo including some changes based on your feedback. You can find the full list on the bottom of this post ????️ Don’t stop letting us know about what you think! You can use the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/2121510/discussions/]Steam discussion section[/url] for that.[b]FEAR FEST AND TRAILER[/b]
We launched the demo together with a new trailer which was broadcasted for the first time at the event [url=https://fearfest.online/]Fear Fest: Black Summer 2023[/url] hosted by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/developer/feardemic/]Feardemic[/url] and featured at the [url=https://www.youtube.com/live/3kMdq9k00U0?si=5FJU5hHEfLTQ04aq]IGN official channels[/url]. The new trailer is short, but super intense, and shows new characters, locations, mechanics and (above everything) a lot of horror: [url=https://youtu.be/MPpTPF_k6hY?si=hF0oJLK1RTJbeVa-]

[b]EVA AND RECOGNITION[/b]
A week after the big announcement, we participated in the most important local event of game development here in Argentina: EVA 2023. We were there with the team presenting an extended version of the demo of Tenebris Somnia so people from our country could check the new mechanics and cinematics.

- Some texts went out of the screen in 16x10 monitors, including the Steam Deck
- Fixed the vertical synchronization (VSync) issue
- Added blood particles when afflicting damage and when receiving it
- New sound effects for certain steps, elevator door, oven, among others
- Visual improvements for some of the props of the environment
- Added a one time language menu option when the application starts
