{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/4a6e51a50814c5680be281d0d45219bc2934f50e.png

We hope you all had a great summer ☀️

To ease you into those harsh "back to work" days, we're doing the biggest sale we've ever done on Shattered: you can grab the game at 50% off for 10 days, starting now! 🥳

Don't hesitate to let your friends know or even gift the game to them if you can and want to support a tiny little French studio! As we're still fully independant and trying to live off of our sales, we'd be forever grateful ♥

In others news, we realize it's been almost a year since we haven't really made an update on what we're doing. We're working on new secret stuff, and we might finally be starting to talk about it in a few 🤭 So stay around, and many, many thanks for your support, trust & patience ♥ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/a30787e2c8d683b79b7b7d5d95d2c3d3d1d3db80.png

Since today is Shattered's anniversary, here's a little overview of what we did since last February!

• Well, first we kept bettering the game for around 6 months. We made several content & bugfix updates, until we reached the best doable version of the game we wanted to achieve by the end of June. • Then, we took a little break (yay summer!), before getting back to work. We took the time needed to find a trusted partner for, finally, a consoles port! Read more on that just below ♥ • And we may have started to actually work on a new project... We obviously can't tell anything for now, but be sure you'll be hearing about us soon enough 🤫 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/5c3292c7cda7cd001be7390dd2714efaa563fae0.png "Publisher Forthright Entertainment and Redlock Studios will explore, slash, and hack their way onto Switch, Playstation, Xbox, and Epic Game Store in Q1 2022 with Shattered - Tale of the Forgotten King. The Epic MegaGrant recipient game has an intriguing story that unfolds a universe with deep lore combined with one of the most unique and breathtaking aesthetics from any game that was released last year." ...This is what you can read on our dear partner's website, Forthright Entertainment.

We're super glad to announce that thanks to this partnership, Shattered will finally come out on Playstation, Xbox and even Switch!! Tune in March 22nd for the date announcement ♥

Thanks for your everlasting support, Wanderers ♥ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/a30787e2c8d683b79b7b7d5d95d2c3d3d1d3db80.png

Dear Wanderers, Perhaps you've already seen the logo on our front page, but if not:

We're so happy to tell you that we're among the recipients of the Epic MegaGrants!

Have a look at this beautiful reel! We're super humbled to be featured alongside those beautiful games. To celebrate that little announcement, we decided to go for an early Winter sale and put Shattered at the deepest sale we've ever done! If you already own the game, please tell your friends, pets & families. If you don't, we'd be honored to have you play our first game ever during your Winter holidays! ♥ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/d7bfd69762ca0e452fbb509f75a9af487a806687.png We would also like to thank all the people who took the time to leave positive reviews lately. We received a bunch of those in the last few weeks, and it's difficult to express how much this counts - not only for the visibility of the game of course, but for us really. Knowing our story actually touches people is still a very weird fact to wrap our heads around, but it's definitely the best reward for all those years of work. So, dear Steam Wanderers, thanks again ♥

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

Well, it's almost all. We just wanted to let you know that another very cool announcement is coming next Monday. We probably won't make another post here, so join us on Discord or on social media to get the news! Here you go: ♦ Twitter ♣ Facebook ♠ Discord ♥ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/5804cb443e535700ff89a5772760dc8c4af6d64e.png

Hello there dear Wanderers! We're so happy to get back to you!

We hope you had a wonderful summer, with lots of games and sweet wandering ♥ We have something for you to kick off this back to work time with the right foot: a discount! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/fb79e77edef723babf8d05e0a30c8e8dc0bb0b59.png

And also, as you may have seen if you already own the game, a little patch notes to fix a few more things :D

Here is what we've done: • Game is lighter! It's now 6.5GB! • The performance issues in the snowy lands has been fixed • Some UI textures sometimes went all blur, not anymore! • Dashing foes can no longer keep the player aggro after you died • The graphical options menu now always shows the right resolution ;) So, if you haven't tried Shattered already, this is kind of the best time ever! The game is in its final version along with a big discount, soooo we can't wait to have your feedback! And so, now that we're here, what is next for Redlock Studio? Well... We can't tell you exactly what's going on, really. But we're onto stuff. Cool stuff. We're sorry we have to keep the mysterious act for now, but we can't wait to tell you more (soon!) ♥ In the meantime, don't hesitate to join our Discord if you want to ask anything or chat directly with some of us.

This patch notes is happening entirely thanks to you ♥ And to celebrate, we decided to go for a big 35% off for the week! 🥳

We’ve been working on this update since last February, thanks to all the feedback we’ve got, mostly regarding the lack of diversity with the ennemies. We made new patterns, new FX and basically new foes to inhabit Hypnos, so we hope you’ll like them :D (A little hotfix is already planned for tonight, but you shouldn't even see the difference! Just to let you know it's be normal if you see a new little something to download in an hour or so.) ADDITIONS: • Basic ennemies now have special capacities! • Spellcasters! • Healers! • More lore unlocked after defeating the Watchers • More lore unlocked after defeating the Demiurges • New post process for the visual render • An additionnal bastion • A new camp in the Ancient Lands • More environmental narrative ♥ CHANGES: • A whole new tutorial! • Total rework of the Transcendance ending • The angle for backstabbing is more permissive • Limbo Wells are more visible, you can’t miss them no more ! • Foes can now hear you approaching, you have to walk slowly to surprise them BUGFIX: • Andras’ kick can no longer cause the game to be slowed down at respawn • Jugulus’ spells no longer keep on going after the Wanderer’s death • Oph stopped shrinking some of the weapons (admit it, it was fun though) • The hitboxes of the blades traps in Jugulus’ castle have been reduced • We added a little cooldown on the perfect parry so it can’t be spammed • The Cross spell sometimes didn’t apply its damage • The grenades you sent back to their launcher can no longer hurt you • The Sword of Remembrance couldn’t be unlocked in German • Hitboxes of the brambles have been fixed • Various fixes of the video options menu • AI are less passive, be careful ! • The hitboxes of the Legionaries’ strikes have been refined • Few fixes of level art As always, don't hesitate to let us know what you think of it all :D

Want to chat with us?

• Join our wonderful Discord ♥ • Twitter • Instagram • Facebook • Website Thanks a lot, and, well... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/5804cb443e535700ff89a5772760dc8c4af6d64e.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/0185aae6dbf0e1a5d8c8b83a1d3f2bfd6646b88e.png YES, YOU READ RIGHT! We're so eager to let you know that Shattered is now available in 4 new languages. We're so excited, and cannot wait to get your feedback!! It is definitely not the only thing we've done on the game this past month, so...

Here you go for the patch notes!

FIXES:

• The sword collision system is way more precise (no more hits not landing when they should!)
• The Wanderer's hits now land or miss the foes' shields more consistantly depending on your position
• The keybinding menu now displays the keys depending on your layout
• Multiple sound design fixes
• The triangle teleporters are more dynamic, and won't kill you anymore nor let your ennemies hit you while you're in there :D
• Loot in the maze will no longer disappear when recharging a game
• Higher resolutions are now supported (yay for the 4K!)
• No more random heart attacks when riding your hoverboard in the Ancient Lands

ADDITIONS:

• Russian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and German are supported!
• Aaaand please welcome the Steam cloud save!

CHANGES:

• Slopes are now taken into account in combat: no more hitting the ground or slicing the air above your ennemies' heads when fighting on a hill!
• When using the Catalyst or a potion, you won't be able to dash nor attack, but the animation time has been reduced
• The parry frames are now in the beginning of the animation, for it to be more easily executed
• More feedback when taking damage and landing hits
• Kûta now opens her menu from her very first dialog, and Y'aak also gives the Whisperer Mark right away
• The boost of the Espada is now on the same input as the sprint: press once to activate, and a second time to stop it
• Jumping keeps the sprint momentum
• Malkel's AI has been changed a little bit
• Groups of foes guarding chests in the Ancient Lands are now in small bastions

Change of price

As you may have noticed, during the Early Access we said the game's price would slightly increase at its full release, like most games getting out of EA do. For various reasons, we finally decided not to do it right away, and the price stayed the same. We're now 3 months post release, we haven't stopped working on Shattered to better it as much as we can, and as it's now available in 6 languages in total, we decided the price change could fit with this update.

You're enjoying Shattered?

If yes, please consider leaving us a positive review ♥ As a small indie team, we rely a lot on those so it is a tremendous help for us. We read all the reviews we get and try to take them into account as much as possible (as you can see in any of our updates really). Thank you!

What's coming next?

We're still working on a last major patch notes to come by the beginning of summer. It will be about fight & foes, and will contain a lot of big changes, reworks and optimizations. Thanks for your attention and, well... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/5804cb443e535700ff89a5772760dc8c4af6d64e.png

Dear Wanderers,

The Steam Achievements are in! :D

There are 34 of them, and if they'll mostly be unlocked retroactively, SOME will not. Here are the achievements that (we're sorry about that) won't be automatically unocked:

• The endings: none of them are retroactive
• "Complete the route in the Ancient Lands with the Espada": you'll have to take that challenge again :D
• "Collect every mask" if you already have all of them, but if you sell them and start your collection again, it will work!

Feel free to let us know what you think about them! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/a0367ac93c2f4f5656edacb3d56e165a6cf02c9e.jpg

As for the patch notes:

Bugfix

• Menu inputs have been smoothed out
• We reworked the input system to support all types of keyboards (Caution! You'll perhaps have to rebind your inputs)
• Fixed the rebinding bugs
• Multiple crashes have been fixed
• Fixed the bug where you could lose controls after falling off the hoverboard
• Fixed some environment collisions
• Sometimes you could die when changing map: not anymore
• Reverting the camera didn't save, now it does!
• Fixed several texts
• The fog that crawled from Ackbar to the Ancient Lands has been fixed

Changes:

• You can leave the credits more easily
• We rebalanced Andras and Malkhel to make them more challenging (have fun!)
• We bettered the level art
• At some point, Y'aak will tell you new things in the Heart of Limbo :)

We hope you'll like what we've done.

As always, any feedback is welcome! And thanks again to all of you who took the time to leave a positive review, that's priceless in terms of support for us ♥

Oh and, by the way... Regarding all the feedback we received about the fighting system, we might be working on foes and, overall, combat. More news to come soon ;)

If you have any question about the game or want to chat with us, don't hesitate to join too :) Despite a lot of support for which we can't say thank you enough, we've also received a handful of negative reviews since the launch. We do read every single one of them and try to take them into account (when it's not just a matter of taste). No matter what was the outcome of your review, thanks for taking the time to write feedback! So, what's next? First, a patch notes! We're already working on a post launch patch notes, to come next week. Here is what we're focusing on: • Fix of some crashes • UI bugfix and UX improvement • Improvement of global navigation & level art for your in game orientation • Balancing of the Demiurges • Corrections of localization / descriptions of some items Second, Steam Achievements! They should be ready for next week as well. Most of them will be unlocked retroactively, and the few ones we can't make completely retroactive will be specified in the patch notes. We hope you'll like them :D Third, new languages! Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Russian and German are on the making, and should be available next month! We do know Turkish players are very interested in playing Shattered. We're trying to make it happen soon :) That's for the short term objectives. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any question! Also, if you already played and liked the game, please consider leaving a positive review. It's a tremendous help for us in terms of visibility, and we're definitely not done bettering Shattered ♥ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/a30787e2c8d683b79b7b7d5d95d2c3d3d1d3db80.png

Yes Wanderers, you read it right... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/96be4eb77c126c7f5fcd4ef2aa69a75eb885e6e5.png After 5 years of hard work, a Kickstart campaign, lots of ups and downs and a year of early access, the official 1.0 version of the game is finally ready.

You made the game what it is today, and you definitely made us better devs, artists, writers and designers.

Hello there, dear Wanderers! As you know, we’re now less than a month away from Shattered’s full release. But we didn’t want to let you hanging until then with a 3 months old version of the game, so… This update is a big one. Such a big one, that we won’t tell you precisely what we fixed and added, because there is SO much. We’ll just let you discover the reworked areas, new NPCs, etc. etc... ♥ What we’re going to do though, is telling you what is still missing and the bugs we already know and are still working on. Let’s have a look: • You now have access to everything in the game, EXCEPT for the last zone. That means the full release will still have surprises for you : the said last zone, endings, last Boss… • The Quick Access Inventory will be improved & fixed • We’ll add and/or balance certain craft recipes • There’s a bit of polishing left on combat gameplay and a few enemies/Bosses • We’ll do some level art polishing (collision issues etc), and some UI/FX/visual rendering improvement. • For more fun, we let a few occasional crashes the possibility to happen. (No, we’re sorry about that and are investigating the matter as you’re reading this) Due to the amount of changes we made, you really have to start a new game, otherwise your save will probably end up completely corrupted. This will also be the last update until the full release. We hope you’ll enjoy, and as always, don’t hesitate to let us know what you think, here or on social media ♥ • Twitter • Instagram • Facebook • Discord {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/a30787e2c8d683b79b7b7d5d95d2c3d3d1d3db80.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/4ab2332c26fead066dcbde2125c8d787051d7982.png We've been MIA for several months now. We weren't leisuring on Hypnos' secret sunny beaches, though, we were working towards the end of Shattered's development! It's hard to even begin to tell you how excited, proud and exhausted we are. We're also so eager to show you this... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/f49557a2e827f164d8c8a574fe667977d3eef039.png For those of you who already own the Early Access of the game, don't worry. All the bugs and weird stuff that still exist on the version you have have been fixed (again, many many thanks to all of you who shared their feedback with us ♥) and a lot of things have changed. Really changed. We'll make an update in the upcoming days for you to see it all that has happened! We'll keep coming with more content and news until then. Also, we'll post more often on our social media, so join us if you don't want to miss anything :) • Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • Discord

Share the word, and get ready for the 17th!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34950399/a30787e2c8d683b79b7b7d5d95d2c3d3d1d3db80.png

Hello there dear Wanderers! We hope you had a great summer and were able to take a break. We took a little one ourselves, and got back to bettering Shattered! To try and make that "back to school" time a bit less annoying, we decided to put 20% off Shattered for the next 14 days while we finish up the next patch notes. As always, if you already own the game and would like to support us, please tell your friends about the discount and/or put a positive review here on Steam, that's an awesome and super efficient way to help ♥ Oh and, since you're here, wanna know what the upcoming patch notes will be about? Well, friends, here you go: • The next update will contain a brand new Demiurge to fight. We don't want to say too much about it, but it might be the very first one we ever worked on, that we've been reworking and reworking and reworking for the past few years... We cannot wait to know what you'll think of it! • The craft system will finally be here... • ... As well as the weapon upgrade system! • New distribution of the foes. • And probably a new Pretorian :) If you'd like to follow the development of the game, we're putting regular content on our social media: Twitter: RedlockStudio Facebook: Taleoftheforgottenking Instagram: redlockstudio ...and join our lovely Discord community to chat with us!

We really hope you'll like what you discover here. Welcome to Hypnos ♥ If you'd like to join our beautiful community of Wanderers, please feel free to meet us on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/cGmC9Bt

Hey everyone! We really hope you’re all doing ok as these times are definitely challenging for everyone.

Hello, dear Wanderers! How was your October? We hope Samhain was fairly celebrated ;) Ours was pretty busy: we were at the Paris Game Connection, right next to the Paris Games Week. For those of you who don't know, it is the professionnal part of the event, where you can meet lots of others devs, publishers, editors etc. (we were particularly looking for help to launch the finished game as best as possible, translate it in as much languages as possible, and hopefully port it on consoles a little bit quicker). We'll see how it goes! Oh, and there's a few new things in Hypnos... PATCH NOTES #8! BUGFIX:  • Radiant Essences no longer use a Superior one. • The precedent level correctly unload after the Whisperer's Mark is used (no more mashup between the levels!). • No more getting stuck in the game options. • The player’s Quick Access is now correctly saved when loading a game! • Fixed a bug causing the player to appear falling in the middle of nothing after using the Whisperer's Mark. • No more unobtainable keys! You shall now open gates. • The dialog widget now correctly udpates its color theme when the Whisperer is talking. OPTIMISATIONS: • Magic bolts won't cause FPS drops anymore. • The hard freeze upon using the Whisperer's Mark from the inventory is now fixed. ADDITIONS:  • Fade out animation for enemies' lifebars upon death. • Clearer feedback on how many essences you get when killing a mob. • New ennemies: the “rocketter” and the “grenade thrower” :D • A new death screen! • Bunch of new NPCs! Their quests are not implemented yet, but you can get to know them a little bit while we add their complete narrative... (Let us know what you think about them :) ) • Oh, and you can also trade with them! • Little level design modifications & visual changes in environments. We'll let you discover what and where ;) • New area: the Wall of Devesh, beyond North of Myosis • A new item that you'll particularly appreciate in the darkest places: a little sentient light that you can summon to illumate your way! Changes:  • If you kill a locked ennemy, the camera will now switch the lock target to the next foe, instead of exiting the lock mode. • New Fx for Homonculus' explosions. • New Sound Design for the Legionnaires. • New Fx for the gunner ennemies. • A few Sound Design upgrades for some of the Wanderer's moves. • Sound lifting for some Elite enemies ; changed on-hit sound for it to not be confused with the player’s one anymore. This one was a big one for us. We really hope you like all the changes!

Hey everyone! We noticed a few bugs had come up with the last update, so we made a quick fix before the next major patch notes :) BUGFIX:

• Foes won't aggro on respawn anymore.
• Stamina doesn't recharge during the heavy attacks animations anymore.
• Players won't be able to move in the Quick Access section through the consumables options in the inventory.
• Players won't be able to “negatively use” a consumable (that happened when spamming the using button during UI animations).
• Items won't stack instead of being deleted during updates of the inventory.
• Wrong textures were displayed when hoevering buttons from the consumable options.
• No more glitches on QA clicking!
• No more getting stuck after respawning at the second well in the Limbo.
• You won't lose your looted keys anymore. We had the inventory swear it: it will save all of them.

MODIFICATIONS / ADDITIONS:

• Aerial attack nerf: it deals less damage, takes more stamina and has a much more important landing lag. Yes, it was needed. You know it.
• Striking a Legionary will only stun them once, then they'll finish their current attack no matter what.
• Click anywhere else to exit the Quick Access selection in the main UI.
• Click on the background to exit the consumable options.

Hi everyone! September was such a busy month for us and we're glad to show you the content of the 7th patch notes :D UI: - We noticed some technical issues, thanks to your feedback on the inventory and therefore, instead of correcting piece by piece every bit of code on this interface way too old and unstable, we created a brand new architecture, much more stable and easier to fix in the future. Nothing changes in terms of visual, but the whole code behind it has been reworked to avoid all the mistakes made 3 years ago when we created the first prototype. This is still a new UI, so some bugs could still show up, but it will now be way faster for us to fix them, without taking the risk to break something else. FOES & FIGHT: - Legionaries have slightly different combos and get stronger depending on which area they're located. We tried to bring variety in their actions without changing them entirely, so they “evolve” and are properly aligned with the increasing difficulty curve. - The strongest legionaries also have new attacks (we'll let you find out what it's about!) - We also fixed a bug where legionaries gave twice their essence (sorry :P ) - The Lost Souls now drop 15 essences instead of 30. - Damage of the roll attack reduced by 30% Other minor bug fix: The Early Access intro text and the language/keyboard layout selection will stop appearing after the first time.

Long time no see, dear Wanderers! We hope you're all doing well. Contrarily to what our month-long silence may have let you think, we didn't stop working on Shattered, we just decided to go a little bit easier and reduce our neverending work days for this crazy hot august month. Here is the result of our summery work :D ADDITIONS: - The Chorozon mark, which teleports you back to the Limbo - The Whisperer mark, which teleports you to the last activated Limbo Well (this one is located at the heart of Limbo, where the Whisperer is.) - A sprint attack: if you press the attack input while sprinting, the Wanderer will slide on the ground for a few meters then slash with his sword. - A new Catalyser! We are trying a more conventionnal approach with healing: an item that contains healing charges that you refill at a Limbo Well. Right now there is only one charge, and you cannot upgrade it yet, so we left the old one aswell. MODIFICATIONS: - We changed the AI for most of the basic ennemies. They will now try to not overlap each other with their attacks. Hopefully fighting 1v5 should be fairer now. - But beware, they also learned how to do longer combos. - We are also starting to implement different levels of Legionnaires (the main foes): some will be tougher with slightly different animations and patterns. - We also changed the Wanderer's attacks: they are faster, cost less stamina but do less damages. - Gheb invocations have less health. - The elite monsters' and bosses' strikes take longer to launch. - We are trying something on the jump: only the double jump will now cost stamina, not the regular one. BUGFIX: - A lot of collision bugs with the basic ennemies are fixed. Hitting ennemies should feel more responsive and rewarding now. - Sword collisions are now way more consistant and accurate. - Level Up menu fixed! You won't lose your essences when exiting the menu anymore. We are aware of bugs around the inventory and menus (sometimes you have to double click to open a sub-menu), we are working to fix that as soon as possible. We deactivated the E key in the menu (the confirmation key) for now because of a lot of bugs associated to it, we will fix it soon and bring it back. WHAT'S NEXT? - LORE ! - Glyph system - A loot system - New zones - Aaaaand bugfixes

Hello dear Wanderers :) We hope the heat is not too crushing where you live, because it definitely is here and we're regularly making water fights pauses to survive. Anyways, here is what we've been working on this week! ADDITIONS: - It's now possible to start a combo with the dash attack - New feedbacks when hitting foes - The jump now costs a small amount of stamina - No more attack cancelling when hitting a wall, the Wanderer is pushed back instead - The animation of the first light attack has been modified to be more dynamic (let us know what you think about it!) - The animation and timing of the perfect parry have been changed to be more difficult to realize. WHAT'S NEXT: - Add items allowing to go back to the last Limbo Well (almost done, we just need to test it a bit) - Rework the basic foes to make them more interesting to fight and more rewarding to defeat (different IA, group IA, loot system...) - Add a "sprinted" attack - More bug fix and optimisation! OUR DISCORD SERVER: Want to report bugs or chat with us more directly? Here you go! https://discord.gg/WZyBzt3 We also have a Role Play section (Madam Lockhart Counter) if you'd like to challenge your writing and discover a bit more of Redlock Studio's extended narrative universe. Don't forget to drink water & see you soon, Wanderers ♥

Wanderers, the war against infinite load screens has been declared! With this update, you shouldn't be getting anything like this anymore. We hope. We sacrificed all our coffee stock to the mystic gods of UE4, so it should work. ADDITION: - Option to "invert Y-axis" in the controls menu BUG FIX: - Better framerate in the Ancient Lands and Serene Cliff - Fix of The Stranger who didn't want to spawn - Fix of The Stranger who did spawn but didn't move (and became an automatic turret) - Texture problems on the Hierarchs are fixed - A lot of not moving foes in the Ancient Lands are fixed - The gates leading to the Cardinal Bosses 2 & 3 are fixed - Fix of the infinite keys/Essence on the Pretorian after his death CHANGES: - Foes now drop their Essence instantly after they die - The Stranger has a longer recovery time upon the end of his combos, so you get a bit more time to hit him. WHAT'S NEXT? Well, pretty much the same things that we talked about in the last patch notes. Thank you for your attention & support, Wanderers ♥
