Open INDUSTRIA 2 playtest extended!

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

304d ago

Greetings all!

Since we launched the open playtest seven days ago, well over 10,000 players have tried INDUSTRIA 2 and provided us with loads and loads of constructive and valuable feedback.

Thank you all so much—this really helpful and appreciated! ❤️

The open playtest was actually supposed to end in less than an hour, but we decided at short notice to extend the duration. You now have until next Monday, 6 October at 8am PDT / 5pm CEST to explore the old cannery building with Nora.

A few facts to get you started:

The playtest is a small part of the final game, an early level, shortly after game start. Nora has to find a way through an old Cannery building with a familiar person she just met.

You will fight 3 different enemies with 3 different weapons and an upgrade station, as well as being able to craft a few tools such as a Pipebomb, Firebomb and Trip Mine.

Everything is of course subject to change and work in progress. There will be bugs, performance issues and balancing problems (finding those is the whole point of this).

When starting the playtest, you can choose between Ray Tracing (DX12) and Performance Mode (DX11). For extra performance, choose DX11, while still enjoying a consistent art style. Also feel free to play around with the graphic settings to find the best performance for your system.

Here are the minimum requirements:

OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit OS required)
Processor: Intel i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super (8GB) or similar
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 10 GB available space (SSD recommended)

We attached a survey to the end of the demo. Takes 5 minutes to fill this out and will help us a LOT to gather feedback early and get this into the final game.

Happy Friday and all the best David & the bleakmill team

INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #4: Wrapping up gamescom, the demo and feedback

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

320d ago

Hey everyone!

August was a crazy time for us here at bleakmill. For the first time in 10 years, we brought together almost the whole team in person. As some of you know, we all work remote from all over the world on INDUSTRIA 2. But with having a playable showfloor demo at gamescom this year, we decided to finally step into planes and hug each other for a 4 year late “congrats-for-releasing-industria”-hug.

As if that wasn't enough, we had six computers constantly being used by people visiting the gigantic booth our publisher Headup set up. We had some hardcore INDUSTRIA-fans popping by, as well as people from Naughty Dog and Crytek checking out the demo and giving us super sweet feedback on it. After two official days, we already said goodbye to each other, warmingly overwhelmed from these few intense days in Cologne.

The demo itself ran like a dream and apart from a few crashes here and there (despite running almost 24/7) we had no issues really. A few small Level Design and UX issues were pointed out and are already on our list for fixes.

Now it's time for us to move on to the rest of the game. But not without preparing the same demo as a Steam Playtest. The last few weeks were spent a lot on performance and technicalities like FSR implementation, much deeper graphical settings as well as a difficulty selection on the demo start.

Very soon you'll be able to also play the demo. We are awaiting your feedback, which will directly impact the rest of the development time.

Thanks for the ongoing support and all the best from everyone at bleakmill! David & The Bleakmill Team

INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #3: Combining the puzzle pieces

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

375d ago

Hey all! It’s been a while!

Today we are happy to share another commented gameplay video. INDUSTRIA 2 is part of the Games Forged In Germany event and therefore, we decided to give you all another glimps into one of INDUSTRIA 2ˋs levels: the cannery.

Keep in mind that what your about to see is work in progress footage, so expect some things to change.

One of the most interesting things for us, was to have a full circle of INDUSTRIA 2ˋs core gameplay in a coherent, well looking level. In the last year we have worked on countless gameplay systems, like AI for enemies and companion, the diegetic inventory including crafting, multiple weapons, an upgrade system, physics interactions, looting, a motion sensor for stealthy gameplay and of course our art style itself (with a view things still to come which haven’t made it into the video).

Now it’s time for us to bring all the elements together, which honestly, is even more challenging than creating all the pieces. The video starts with Nora entering the hub level, from which there are two sublevels accessible. It features a main puzzle, which has to do with a huge pump relay built by the machines, branching into the levels nearby. The goal here is to create spaces for the player to return to, to create a sense of place and time. Our companion, Marlene (which you maybe saw in the story trailer), will wait here for us, as she is unarmed and injured.

Nora proceeds into the West-wing of the Cannery. Here she encounters multiple ATLAS robots. She can use her motion sensor to make more strategic decisions, on how to move through the level with as little as possible enemy contact. INDUSTRIA 2 is not about gunning down every enemy on sight. Ammo is scarce, levels are dark, enemies can grab Nora and kill her if she doesn’t free herself in time.

Nora makes her way into the attic space, where a big ATLAS cluster holds the item she needs in order to proceed in the hub level. When she returns, a new enemy is introduced. We call him the „Surger“. A Vampire kind of humanoid. It run dry of the fluid we call Petrichor (basically the machines fuel they produce themselves), making it ravenous, almost craving to find more of the fluid it needs so desperately.

We needed to end the video there. But there are good news: if you attend the Gamescom in cologne in august, you can play our first demo on the showfloor. We will be present with almost the whole team. For those who can’t attend physically, well have a Steam Playtest starting a little bit after Gamescom.

We hope you like what you saw and wish you a good weekend. See you soon! David & the bleakmill team

INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #2: Some more details on our brand-new story trailer!

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

501d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/e751abbdc46eea6e0f79c2195473359355988ba7.jpg Greetings all! Today we want to share with you a brand-new story trailer we made for INDUSTRIA 2. Maybe you have seen it already in the Future Games Show Spring Showcase or on the product page, if not, have a go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QHsewJZ7Eo We put a loooot of love into this one, as we decided to show you a bunch of new levels, one of the main characters and also the new enemies in action. Let me start by talking about Marlene: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/aeb6e011859e91bda2a41a88cdf4102fa4a6b389.jpg (Be aware: tiny spoilers ahead!) INDUSTRIA 2 starts with Nora being stuck in the parallel dimension you might know from the first game. After surviving alone for years, trying to find a way back home, she meets Marlene, a familiar face, back from East-Berlin where Nora is from. Well, 'meeting' is kind of wrong, more correct would be that Nora stumbles into her. After being alone for a long time, Nora is obviously suspicious, and so is Marlene. But the harsh environment and ever looming presence of the dangerous ATLAS presence (the machines) more or less forces them to think of a strategy together. We are not The Last of Us with a big budget, but nevertheless we wanted to create a memorable NPC you collaborate with to some extent. To make that work, we had to figure out how to animate faces and full body characters. Our animator Ben did an insane job and figured out a system which will be used in the game a lot: a library of facial animations he made we can use to create all the scenes we need to tell a story. And yes, Marlene will fight with Nora. We try to hit a good satisfying spot where her AI is not annoying but actually helpful and memorable (the perfect reference for us still is Alyx in HL2: Episode 2). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/94aa9d7df27d491520a8100ce8bc135b50258ad9.jpg Fear not, INDUSTRIA 2 is light on cutscenes and we always try to mix good old Half-Life 2 style in-game cutscenes with a handful of actual camera-cuts. But it's always from Nora's first-person perspective and the game will maintain its unique feel of solitude, even if there are other characters with you in the world. There are more characters in the game, but we don't want to spoil anything else. In the trailer we also showed exactly one black and white shot. If you played the first game, you probably know what this refers to and I can gladly announce that the Library and its inhabitants still play an important role. We love to mix the familiar with the unfamiliar as Viktor Antonov (Half-Life 2/Dishonored Art Director, who sadly passed away recently) would have said and we will continue that surreal path from the first game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/09a4726c82a93478955a05d124ce86ee14789b86.jpg Well, that's it so far. There is so much more stuff happening of course, but I will keep this for the next development update. We hope you like the direction this project is going and can't wait for your feedback and thoughts! All the best and until the next dev update!

INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #1: Diving deeper into enemies and environment art

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

536d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/b8ae2f2358d36214f8d79f8a72f071e3b11bf402.jpg Hey everyone! It's time for another update on what's happening behind the scenes. Since this year started, we have been hard at work to get our new enemies designed, modeled, textured, animated and moving around the world of INDUSTRIA 2. The other thing we spent some time on, was refining our environment art workflows. Since we started, we often came back to Half-Life: Alyx and their environment design workflows. We are a young studio, learning a lot as we make this second game. So to learn good environment art, we came to the conclusion to look at games who did it right. For us long term Valve game fans, it was an easy choice: Half-Life: Alyx offers a super transparent look behind the asset creation process through the workshop tools everyone can use. Here we learned how to create efficient assets, the right amount of detail and smart material usage. Valve used something called “Hotspot” texturing. Maybe you have heard about it already if you're into game development. If not, it's a simple, yet efficient way to texture any object quickly, with just a handful, sometimes just one texture map. Normally, you create unique textures for your models, resulting in hundreds, sometimes thousands of unique materials in the game. Hotspots solve this manual labor (and performance issue) by automatically picking the right part of a large texture map for the right polygon. What comes out is a pretty satisfying looking asset, featuring edge wear. That way, a whole train carriage can use the same 2 materials like the tracks it stands on, or the metal railings or pipes on the wall. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/a6873fbdc1c7a8cdab5b076758977daf4852d1b5.jpg To get enough visual variety, we added a color wheel option per model as well as a vertex painting shader, so we can paint rust, dirt or color layers on top of the metal, wood or plaster. Since we are using Unreal Engine 5, we can't use the wonderful tools Valve built for their Hammer Editor. But we can try to get close with the tools Unreal provides, as well as some improvisation. We are super pleased with the look of INDUSTRIA 2. It's much more streamlined and optimized then what we achieved in the first game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGEWGzTg8tw The other big thing we did in January was getting our final new enemies into the game. This is probably the 6th generation of enemies since we started INDUSTRIA back in 2015 and definitely the most complex we ever made. It started with designing them based on concept art and really finishing the lore behind those enemies, so they fit into the universe properly. We call them the “Hollows”, a machine built worker unit, maintaining the ATLAS fluid network all over the country. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/f6006f88428c3fdba2101efe7f574642d15b46fa.jpg The main feature here was to make a disgusting looking machine, really blurring the line between organic and machine built. It's supposed to be this dirty, oily, creepy AI controlled humanoid wandering through the world of INDUSTRIA. You should almost feel sorry for it when it stumbles through dark corridors. Until it wants to rip you apart. For this task, we knew that variety was key. Variety in their looks, in their states, in their animations and in their sound design. We want vivid shot reactions on different body parts, as well as satisfying feedback when hitting them with bullets or melee. Our animator Ben has to undergo a long process of creating enough animations and stances so that, even when there are three of these beasts walking towards you, they all look unique and characterful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qokmVSGYwKM Their foot placement also is a huge task to get right. You probably all know how it looks, when characters in games have feet sliding all over the scene. Getting this right is super hard, but we are trying to improve on that front compared to the first game. Going forward, we are trying to give them even more creepy-vibes, by controlling where they turn their heads, for example when reacting to their buddies dying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ujiljBv8c All in all, character animation as well as good AI is one of the hardest things to get right and one of those subjects, where you can spend weeks and months to make it look satisfying. We don't have unlimited time, so we won't have AAA quality characters. But in the end, we are neither AAA, nor AA and still just a tiny indie team scattered around the globe trying to make something awesome with the limited resources we have available. We hope you like what you saw and wish all of you a wonderful February. Until the next dev update! The Bleakmill Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/2154070/INDUSTRIA_2/

Wrapping up the feedback of the first INDUSTRIA 2 playtest!

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

572d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/e37398138652617a6f92816d802e89cee72db2bd.jpg Happy New Year everyone! This is David, from the bleakmill team. To conclude the year 2024 here at bleakmill, we wanted to give you a little update on what we have been up to in the last months. Mainly, we want to fill you in on the outcome of the first internal playtest we did with about 20 players and long term community members this December. When we started making INDUSTRIA 2, we knew that we would need in depth playtesting to make sure the game is, in its core, fun and entertaining. Especially because we planned to make a few changes to the combat and AI systems from the prequel. In INDUSTRIA, the combat mainly results in the enemies seeing the player, followed by an endless chase until either the enemy or the player is dead. Even though there were quite a few complex systems working together in the background, the outcome was mostly “okay” combat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/a77020484272a515a400d753a608337ef4f7ded3.jpg One of INDUSTRIA 2’s main goals is to change this. Now we have a task based AI system at work, with enemies being able to lose the player, fall back in alert states or complete complex chains of tasks, which can range from opening a door, to using items and playing specific animations. We also feature a stealth system, as well as a crafting system, to allow for more dynamic gameplay and more player choice. Weapons can be upgraded with stats and attachments, and the looting has been overhauled completely. In short, the whole core loop was upgraded with countless systems so it can stand on its own legs. Because of all these changes, it was crucial we test them with a mix of the prequels playtesters, and people who have never played any INDUSTRIA game yet. The test was running for one week and we could not be more happy about the results: no issue people reported was unknown or something we didn't see coming. The main feedback we got was valuable comments on controls, movement and the inventory. For most players, playing Nora felt a little bit slow and clunky. This was because we deliberately slowed player movement down, to really let people sink into the world. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/71d7897b97b5b154ef5e15b0b78a523ad821c5ce.jpg INDUSTRIA 2 really is the opposite from a movement shooter. But we may have exaggerated a little bit. It also didn’t help that the enemies moved quicker than Nora herself, resulting in an unfair perception, as the big metal robots were faster than Nora. The inventory feedback was also very valuable, as it's going to be the heart of the core loop. Here you can swap your 2 active slots with other weapons from your stash, and craft firebombs, explosives, traps and bandages from components you find in the world. Currently, the inventory sometimes clips into foliage, or nearby objects. Also, when crouching, the inventory opens into the floor, blocking half of it with level geometry. In stressy situations (which are super fun), this can lead to frustrating moments of being unable to change weapons quickly. Apart from the core loop feedback, people really liked the atmosphere and general tone of INDUSTRIA 2, which made us very happy. We are super grateful for all this feedback, suggestions and ideas, because they shed light on INDUSTRIA 2 from a completely fresh perspective that we - who are working on Nora's second adventure every day - can easily overlook. And thus make the game an even gaming experience! All in all, it was a super successful first playtest and we really can't wait to do the next one in 2025. We believe that these playtests should be a fundamental part of the development cycle and finally, we found a good internal pipeline to deliver these tests with much less hussle compared with the INDUSTRIA 1 days. If you are interested in joining the next INDUSTRIA 2 playtest, feel free to join our Discord server and follow INDUSTRIA 2 here on Steam and on Twitter to keep up to date. We hope you all have a wonderful and peaceful year 2025. Best, David & the bleakmill team https://store.steampowered.com/app/2154070/INDUSTRIA_2/

8 Minutes of commented gameplay out of INDUSTRIA 2!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/c9d5337b6bd074d73e0cc41b227ad2c8d07a54fc.jpg Hey hey everyone! Since the release of INDUSTRIA 2 is still quite some time away we skip gamescom 2024. We are making great progress and are super happy with how our baby is developing, but give us a little more time. After all, good things take time, right? BUT we don't want to leave you here without at least a few new insights! Almost 2 months ago, we published a 2-minute gameplay trailer that showed the first gameplay after the announcement of the game in March. We've now added (mysteriously missing) 6 minutes so that you can now watch a total of 8 minutes gameplay from INDUSTRIA 2. Among other things, it includes combat against the arachnid Atlas enemies, more inventory management, physics-based puzzles, and a Molotov cocktail. Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh-TLBO_ZS0 We recently showed you a lot of rocky underground material from INDUSTRIA 2. But of course you will also be out and about in the - more or less - fresh air. So here's a little preview of where else Nora will be hanging out: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938115/3713665d7dd77eefd9dde6876ed85b48c0343c6d.jpg And that's it for today, friends. Thank you for your interest and attention, and for joining us again (or for the first time) on this second journey!

Fixed Save game Corruption

Bleakmillsteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

860d ago

Hey INDUSTRIAN's, we heard that some of you have a very annoying bug which corrupts save games, especially from the Canal chapter. This results in long loading times and eventually leads to a game crash. Thank you all for reporting this one. We just deployed a hotfix which resolves this issue. Your corrupted save game files should now load as expected. All the best from the team!

Nora’s Journey continues with INDUSTRIA 2!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/294b50b40a9399bc2e3aa0a1893dd7e990804027.jpg Dear INDUSTRIANS, David here. Long time no talk! So, how have you been? It's been a while since the overwhelming release day of INDUSTRIA 2.5 years ago. And finally we can reveal what we've been secretly working on since then! All of you who have followed our Twitter (or "X") channel over the last few months will probably already have had a glimpse at some of the GIFs we have been sharing. The response was pretty intense on every post and many people were already guessing the game's name: INDUSTRIA 2. Today we can confirm: You guessed right! It really is a relief that we can finally talk officially about INDUSTRIA 2. Just a few minutes ago we have let the cat out of the bag and unveiled the game with a first trailer in the Future Games Show Spring Showcase: For quite some time, it was not at all clear whether INDUSTRIA 2 would ever happen. We really would have loved to have started working on INDUSTRIA 2 earlier, but sometimes life throws a spanner in the works. Or the industry you work in. But that's a story for another time. Today is nothing but a happy day for us, as we can finally share the good news with all of you out there! We also did it like the Blues Brothers back in the day; we brought the band back together: since INDUSTRIA was a close and intimate collaboration of Bleakmill and Headup, we are super happy to announce that also Headup is back as the publisher of INDUSTRIA 2! What more is there to say? We had a lot of fun sharing the development process of INDUSTRIA with you on our social channels and Steam back then, and we'll be doing it again for INDUSTRIA 2. So, if you want to stay up to date and follow our development process, follow and wishlist INDUSTRIA 2 here on Steam, join our Discord community and follow us on Twitter. Accompany us on this journey; we have so much to talk about! We are really happy to be back, friends. ❤️ See you very soon!

New "Anniversary Update" Adds Dev Commentary, Languages And Fixes To INDUSTRIA!

Mamas_Johnnysteam_community_announcements

1375d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/6c1713177042de47720bec6a4363baa3cfe25e16.jpg Dear Industrians! Today we release something special we have been working on: the INDUSTRIA Developer Commentary. You can activate it in the Options Menu under the Gameplay Tab. As soon as you ticked the box, you will see these hovering and rotating questionmarks scattered around all levels. Simply walk up to one and press "USE". You will be granted with a commentary of either us two co-founders David and Steve, or our Sound Designer Clemens, our composer Lukas or even INDUSTRIA's animators Ben and Gabriel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/c5a2f11c15ec75d67d3133fb53561db9fb2c80de.jpg We talk about our thoughts when designing the game, as well as discuss the challenges we faced creating this game next to uni and work in our freetime. In some logs, we show a little slideshow with screenshots and photos of early levels, mechanics or references we used when building the levels. We also show scrapped content like old enemy models, concept art or level shots. This tradition of developer commentary is something we always loved to see in Valves games and we hope you like what you see and hear. ❤️ Apart from that, we also added new languages and fixed a few minor bugs. Changelog:

fixed a wall in the factory which was see through from one side
fixed a few holes in the level geometry
fixed various audio assets not having a sound class
fixed physics objects not playing their impact sounds
added Japanese language
added Korean language
added Chinese language

To all you Achievement Hunters: We hear your feedback. We are still actively hunting down the Hardcore Achievement issue where it just does not want to pop in certain situations. We will resolve this issue in a separate patch very soon. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and hope you can apologize our messy work on that one. We will keep you posted! Also look out for a little something we added to the office level... a hint to something-new? We hope you will enjoy this commentary and this intimate insight into our heads. Happy listening and exploring, Dave, Steve & The Bleakmill Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172650/INDUSTRIA/

INDUSTRIA 1.2.1: Hotfix for bugged savegames and low performance on load

Bleakmillsteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

1500d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/08160088e974fd60ef828c13ac20a14232024007.jpg Dear INDUSTRIANS, this is a quick hotfix for low performance on loading save games. Some players experienced low FPS when loading a save game, but this should now be fixed. We are sorry for any annoying situations here! Changes:

Fixed a bug where save games would load with very load FPS (if at all)
Added an achievement tracker to the pause menue
Fixed floating pick ups

Apart from that, some of you report crashes on load, which should also be fixed with this update. Let us know if your issues persist, in case this patch does not help. Please check your drivers and also try running the game in DX11 mode (choosable on start up) if you have frequent crashes. As always, thank you for playing and welcome to all the new players! All the best, Steve & David

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/dd720a3eecfb1f45eacdbacf018f59ea16a681c8.jpg Dear Industrians! Update 1.2.0 is now available! And it's by far the most comprehensive update we've released for INDUSTRIA to date. We mainly focused on polishing or completely redesigning some unfinished looking areas in the levels. In places, INDUSTRIA is a completely new experience - especially in areas of the leves "Streets" and "Canal". In addition, we've adjusted the balancing of the weapons, adjusted the amount of ammo distributed in the levels, reworked the save system and made a big bunch of general fixes and adjustments.

I know what you are asking yourselves now: "Why doesn't it work like that right away?". Time is the main reason. We are super happy with how successful INDUSTRIA is - that's not a given these days and we are very grateful to you all! But it's not enough for Steve and me to make a living - and that's why we both have "normal" day jobs, plus some private life. We optimize INDUSTRIA in our spare time. And that's why everything takes a bit longer. That said, we are super happy and proud with the results of the INDUSTRIA update 1.2.0! And we are really looking forward to her you feedback on it. You can reach out to us in the Steam Community Hub or on our Discord Channel - whereever you want. We are looking forward to hear from you! ❤️ Have a great and sunny day everyone!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/8dc98d1e9f801766f1f075f46c0e00bcdaa98c24.jpg Hey there fellow Industrians, we hope you all had a good start into the new week! And we hope to make it even better: It took a little while, but the Steam Community Items for INDUSTRIA are available now! ːsteamhappyː The INDUSTRIA Steam Community Items include:

7 Emoticons
5 Profile Backgrounds
8 Trading Cards
Badge (6 Levels)

And as announced with the latest update 1.1.0: We are working on a balance update that will make INDUSTRIA more challenging, as well as more visual updates for certain areas like the underground in the Canal. The plan is to drop this update later this week, we keep you posted! Cheers and all the best! David, Steve & The Bleakmill Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172650/INDUSTRIA/

INDUSTRIA Update 1.1.0 is available: Hardcore Achievement & Performance

Bleakmillsteam_community_announcements

1536d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/57908159b2c23c1107bf4f7c3cf851435e6b848e.png Dear Industrians! We know, its been a while. As we explained before, we had to go back to our day jobs after INDUSTRIA came out, limiting us how much time we can spend on updates. Apart from that, we also try to get the next project rolling as well, but we finally found time to drop version 1.1.0 which includes:

A fix for the *long* awaited Hardcore Achievement not popping up
Better performance from the Street Level on
Various small cosmetic fixes
Corrected brightness issues in Streets and Canal levels
Main menu now supports game keybindings
Fixed a bug with 'Restore Defaults' keybind option which wouldn't correctly reset under specific circumstance
Keybinds now support non-english keys and will be displayed as text fields

In order to realize the performance update, we had to change the sniper rifle scope from a in game scope to a full screen traditional scope. Although we liked the in game scope more aesthetically, its a necessary trade off which can bring some scenes from 25 FPS to 50-60 FPS, even if the sniper is not equipped. Apart from that, we found its much more fun to snipe with a clean big scope and see where the actual shots land: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/01e98fc87a48fac3b28d8ff596e85a70c46f229f.jpg Be sure that we deeply care about INDUSTRIA. We are emotionally very attached to it, and our heart bleeds to see some of you having a bad experience with it. We have to admit that its an imperfect game. A first try to enter the games industry. No one of us ever made a game before, and players felt that in various ways. Yet, we are proud of our work! The countless positive reviews and comments motivate us every day to soon reach for the stars again. INDUSTRIA's full story has not been told yet. Thanks to every single one of you, we know you care about the game, even if you write angry posts in the forums. We hear you, and we appreciate your interest in INDUSTRIA, also if you are a passionate critic of its flaws. Exciting news for you: We are working on a balance update that will make the game more challenging, as well as more visual updates for certain areas like the underground in the Canal. We plan to drop this update next week! We hope this weeks update will solve two big issues the game has. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the patience! ❤️ Cheers and all the best!

INDUSTRIA Update 1.0.7 is available: Performance, UE version, fixes and more!

Headup Gamessteam_community_announcements

1673d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/491f18ece44bb35289f0fb989d7fe05f1758ad54.jpg Dear Industrians! Since the announcement of the new update for INDUSTRIA almost another whole month has passed. We know some of you are disappointed for it taking so long. We would have loved to patch earlier but the game crash bug most of you experience forced us to upgrade the whole project to the new engine version UE 4.27. This can bring in its own new bugs and problems, so we tried to be careful with that. This patch is mainly about fixing the crash, but also features a few other cool things. Here are the patch notes for 1.0.7:

Upgraded to Unreal Engine 4.27 for improved stability (fixing the train crash)
Performance optimisations to streets (level 3) and canal (level 4)
Added additional resolution options (3440x1440, 5120x2160, 5120 x 1440, 7680 x 4320 and more)
Hardcore chapter selection fixed
Fixed brightness and contrast reset bug

2021 was an exciting and very emotional year for all of us. INDUSTRIA is our first game and we will never forget our hearts beating us nearly to death on release night. We know that INDUSTRIA is not perfect, and we want to be honest: it will never be. But we heard so much feedback on how it struck a nerve for many of you. It surealy was the greatest and best learning for us ever and could not be a more ideal skill test for our next game. All of you, happy new year! Stay healthy and safe. Thank you for your support! The beautiful shot of the library is by @pino44io, here is his/her twitter account: https://twitter.com/pino44io Cheers and all the best!

We are working on a new INDUSTRIA Update: Performance, UE Version, and more!

Headup Gamessteam_community_announcements

1711d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/c68bc4c969fa2a2d0077f5ea159e89b57b2ecd84.jpg Hey there fellow Industrians, We've been pretty quiet over the past weeks, but don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you and INDUSTRIA. But life goes on, and currently we are in the process of figuring out what happens next for Steve, me and Bleakmill. Exciting, but also tough decisions. But as I said, we haven't forgotten INDUSTRIA and you, of course. And as promised, we are still working on improving the game - especially when it comes to performance. That is why, among other things, we have decided to update the Unreal Engine version once again. Here is a list of what to expect from the upcoming update:

Performance Optimization for the Streets and Canal level (level 3 and level 4)
Updating Unreal Engine to Version 4.27 to fix crashing issues and increase the performance
Adding additional Ultrawide Resolutions
Fixing the End Achievement not being given when finishing the game in hardcore
Fixing a few holes in the Street level (level 3)

Unfortunately, we cannot yet give you a date when the update will be released. This is because an update of the engine version often brings with it small but very nasty errors in detail. And we would like to clean up all of them beforehand. Thank you for your patience and understanding! And for all the feedback we have received from you over the last weeks and almost two months. It is very valuable and means a lot to us! ❤️ Cheers and all the best! David, Steve & The Bleakmill Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172650/INDUSTRIA/

INDUSTRIA Update 1.0.6 is available: Chapter Selection & Skippable Cutscenes

Bleakmillsteam_community_announcements

1737d ago

Hey there fellow Industrians, its time for another patch. Important: this patch is not an optimization patch. That will happen in the upcoming 1.0.7 patch. In 1.0.6 we focused on the long awaited Chapter Selection (that ultimately helps people that have bricked saves from older versions) as well as adds more easy replayability. The game now also saves in the Library and Office in case you want to stop to play when being in one of these environments. On top of that we added the ability to skip cutscenes for those who play the game through a second or third time and dont want to wait for the cutscenes to play through. Aside that we fixed a number of smaller bugs including a game breaking one where a roll up door in the Institute would not save and lock you in when loading the auto save. Here are the patch notes for 1.0.6: BUG FIXES:

Fixed Rollup doors in Institute which did not save and would lock the player inside the Steam Room
Added missing collisions to walls in the Library
Fixed swaped RIlfe/Shotgun Achievements
Added missing collisions to walls in the Library
Removed Autosave from the restaurant near the second relay on the Rosendal Plaza (which would spawn you next to enemies leading to a quick death again)
Updated the Turkish Localization
Fixed Diary Entries getting mixed up after loading a save game or after completing the game
Removed a random door in the Library floor
Made Spotlights in the Theatre brighter
Made sound and image fade out correctly when leaving the Institute
Fixed a typo in the Forest diary entry (number 17)
Added missing collisions to walls in the Library

GAME CHANGES:

Added the Chapter selection (can be accessed from the Load Game Menue and Continue Menue
Added the option to skip cutscenes (press ESC in a cutscene will skip it along with the dialogue)
The game now saves in the Library parts and in the office
Added multiple loot objects in empty corners throughout the Street level

PERSISTING BUGS (not yet fixed!):

Brightness/Contrast settings sometimes dont want to properly save
On low shadow settings a very blue fog appears everywhere
Graphical light glitches (flickering) in DX12 mode
Performance in the streets level is still not where we want it to be

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPCOMING CHANGES (not yet implemented!):

More performance optimization in the Street Level
Some sound design and music additions to the canal
Some visual upgrades to the underground part in the Canal
Adding Japanese translation
Adding Chinese Translation
Hardcore will allow autosaves
Auto saves on each new level start (even in hardcore)

We still want to drop at least one more patch concerning performance and try our best to make it run a little better, especially in the Streets section of the game. As we saw some more frustrated and very demanding comments in the forums we want to be honest with you: we are not able to make this game run perfectly on all systems, otherwise we would have did this before the release. We are doing our best to improve performance while we have to go back to our day jobs. Bare in mind that we are not swiming in INDUSTRIA revenue money. The little amount that will come through after all cuts wont be enough to pay our rents anyway, so for now our development situation does not change at all. Still, we are just a handful of people doing their best in their freetime. The look and feel of INDUSTRIA has raised expectations that we cant deliver. This is not a smart marketing trick but something that organically happened over the years of us just trying to get the best out of the Unreal Engine. This is not an excuse, but rather the attempt to talk to you dear players at eye level. With this out of the way, have fun with the latest patch and let us know what you think in the forums, wer are listening and answering <3 Cheers and all the best! David, Steve & The Bleakmill Team

Bleakmillsteam_community_announcements

1761d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/13fec4efdd09a7394427aab56806cdba09ae3c3a.jpg Hey there fellow Industrians, today we finally deliver the first big patch to INDUSTRIA based on all the feedback we got from you in the forums, on our Discord and through reviews over on YouTube. Thank you everyone for reporting the issues you encountered. Here are the patch notes for 1.0.5: BUG FIXES:

Loading a save game with the axe equipped no longer causes the player to spawn beneath the map
Enemy AI no longer duplicates upon loading a save game
Sound now correctly fades in/out with loading screens
Performance in the Canal level has been improved
Fixed a lot of lighting artefacts in the canal
Fixed weird/missing reflections in the streets level
Canal foliage is now colour corrected (no more neon-grass - Huzzah!)
Fixed "Inventory Full" message not showing up
Fixed the drop item button "X" not working (players would have to use "E" to drop items from the inventory)
Player grunts don't count as voice-over anymore, therefore don't duck combat sounds
Fixed a door collision that was no existent in the streets level
Fixed various sound mix issues
Fixed wooden box physic collision sounds being very intense and inaccurate
Fixed various translation errors and missing lines in ES, DE and FR
Fixed sound snapping to 100% upon leaving the office level after initial sound fade out
Fixed a soundscape from the canal underground playing throughout the rest of the game if you died in the underground and loaded in (essentially making music after that part barely audible)

GAME CHANGES:

Hardcore now has increased difficulty
Ammo is more scarce
Enemies have more health
Enemies deal significantly more damage to the player
Pistol and SMG no longer incapacitate enemies - choose the right weapons for the fight!
New achievement for completing the game on Hardcore!
Added Turkish localization
Added Portuguese localization
Placed more rifles around the levels
Placed more pistols around the levels
Changed light values and temperature in the streets level
Made all weapons have a few bullets in the chamber when picking them up for the first time instead of being empty
Added a few more health vials throughout the levels
Swapped out bridge collapse sound in canal level
Swapped out windmill lever sound with proper one
Added a cable between the windmill and the lever platform
Added sound effect for the big train gate opening animation in the canal
Removed the right lever in the windmill puzzle (was not usable and therefore confusing)
Added a notifier ring bell sound when the windmill puzzle is completed
Added a idle sound for the big elevator in the canal underground area
Added the health vial sound
Made the Librarian sightings more visible
Added a ladder at the beach in the canal to prevent to get softlocked when jumping down after coming back from the train (after completing the level)
Added the key card pickup sound
Added tinderstick pickup sound

PERSISTING BUGS (not yet fixed!):

Vertical doors don't always save correctly
On low shadow settings a very blue fog appears everywhere
When loading in, diary entries sometimes shift in order or dont get correctly removed/added
Graphical light glitches (flickering) in DX12 mode
Performance in the streets level is still not where we want it to be

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPCOMING CHANGES (not yet implemented!):

Adding Chinese Translation
Cutscenes will soon be skippable
New 'rogue-like' difficulty which entirely disables saving - death means the game will end
Hardcore will allow autosaves
Auto saves on each new level start (even in hardcore)
Chapter selection so you are able to play the game from the start of each level (assuming you've completed it already)

We want to be very honest: INDUSTRIA is not fully optimized to run super smooth in RTX. For the time being we suggest to play without RTX in the more demanding exterior areas. We are also aware that this patch wont fix all performance issues, as we are still actively working on performance. The other big thing that has been super annoying to a lot of you is crashes. These crashes seem to be the trickiest part right now to analyze and fix, as they occur very randomly. We strongly belive they have something to do with DX12, but have not found the exact issue yet. Hopefully you had a good time with INDUSTRIA, even with those issues. All the best greetings from the whole team and see you again in Hakavik. Cheers and all the best!

To be touted as "The Best 4 Hour Game Of The Year" is an unbvelievable honor! ❤️ "This is a game where every single element seemed to come together perfectly, and the fact that it was created by a team of just five developers is hard to believe." We are unbelievable proud of what we have created with INDUSTRIA, believe me. And how positively it has been received. So, but now back to work! We still owe you the announced performance update. ːsteamhappyː Cheers and all the best! David, Steve & The Bleakmill Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172650/INDUSTRIA/

Like a stone weighing tons suddenly disappeard from our shoulders. There is quite some work to do, but this feels so different now. The feedback and love we received from all of you out there is incredible! Thank you all a ton for your kind words, the productive feedback, for bringing bugs and issues to our list - and for continuing to accompany our wild journey! ❤️ Right now we are working on a major update that we are going to publish within the next days - based on the feedback you all shared with us.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36634925/e390b7479bed828aede3eeee1e9831bb770a1dc6.jpg To our dear friends in China, We are sorry to inform you that the game INDUSTRIA was originally planned to be released in Simplified Chinese today, however, some unexpected problems occurred during the implementation process that prevented us from doing so. Since this is a narrative game, you should play it with the premise that you understand everything the game is trying to say, so we don't want to show you incorrect or partially missing Chinese content. The correct and complete Chinese text will be added in an update as soon as possible - we apologize for the inconvenience and will keep you updated! Best regards and thanks for your understanding!
