Gloomwood - Thief-ish stealth horror game from New Blood Interactive - now available on Early Access

It's called... SOUL

Zoomers wouldn't get it.

Okay, I am actually autistic.

Had texture filtering on bilinear by default (didn't even check if the game had this option). Switched it and now the game looks even better, hooray.

Still doesn't answer why water texture uses point filtering when you switch it to bilinear.

I kinda forgot about this game but I'm still interested in the finished product. I checked the update page and the devs are still putting out patches more or less constantly so that's cool.

It's a setting that can be set per-texture in modern engines, so the texture was probably overridden to always have filtering disabled.

This thing still isn't finished yet?

 

[Mikeal]

And never will be.

 

[Fargus]

They make some progress at least.

 

[Child of Malkav]

This game is never coming out.

How many years has this been in development?

 

[Baron Tahn]

Since 2014 apparently. Not sure how close they say they are to a release but might be time to consider the vapourware tag.

Vapourware is something that was announced and heavily advertised, but never actually available to the public. People play Gloomwood for years already and it's really good even in uncomplete stage

 

[Fargus]

People here act like they are new to Slow Blood Interactive. Did any of their games aside from Dusk and Amid Evil made it to release yet?

Hell... even Fallen Aces dev said the work on Ep2 will not start until 2025 even though he will improve what there in the meantime. They are all stoned 24\7. Just look at Dave Oshry posting history. If Oshry can keep his company running with this release schedule good on him i guess.

They are still better than 3Dcucks in every way.

 

[Baron Tahn]

Yes to be fair I did forget this was New Blood.

 

[Fargus]

Despite some cringe and his love of TYPING IN CAPS HALF THE TIME i think Oshry is an ok dude. He is the kind of CEO that would get himself-inserted into Wasteland 2 as the scummiest most annoying character so you could kill him.

 

[Jenkem]

Look at Gloomwood's update history, it's updated pretty regularly every 2-3 months and is actually the fastest/most updated New Blood game. Everyone likes to shit on it for "taking forever" but since it's been purchasable it's worked on constantly. Compare this to Fallen Aces, mentioned above, or Ultratranny which gets like 1 update a year at this point and is still far from finished. Also the dev uploads frequently to his youtube channel little snippets of new gameplay features/mechanics he's working on.

The style of the cinematics is cool
But why weren't any no dogs after the cinematic is over?

The HIVE Update
It's time to go deep.


Ah, you want detailed Patch Notes, doctor?
Not today!
But in addition to the Hive now being in the game -
basically every single major system in the game has been altered in some way.

Most notably the lighting.

This update is so massive we don't even know where to begin.

Kind of like the
upgraded briefcase
you can buy after coming back from the Hive.

Gloomwood is the most complex game we've ever made and has nearly a
dozen
people working on it at any given time. Thank you for your patience as we continue to develop its world.

Next stop? The rooftops of
Hightowne
and the vaults of
The Bank
.

We hope you enjoy the work we do, and if you do - all we ask is that you tell a friend, leave a review and spread the good word of
New Blood.

I was going to complain about a content update while the base game still isn't finished, but then I saw that "thank you for your patience" indicating they understand and are still working to get out of Early Access. Taking a long time but still, good dev.

every update so far has added content to the game along w/ tweaking mechanics, etc. basically every single one.
