  More News on Chapter 2

  Hello investigators! First off, we want to sincerely apologize for the long silence and delay in releasing Chapter 2. 2024 has been much wilder than we ever could have predicted, especially with the release of PANICORE as you might know. With this announcement we mainly want to tell you one thing: While being silent about it, we've worked on Chapter 2 and it will happen! Current Progress on Chapter 2 We're aiming for the next chapter to be better than anything we've been doing so far. Here’s what you should know right now: Estimated percentage of progress: We'd say around 70% of the chapter is done right now, missing parts are mainly last parts of the chapter and a transition into the game's current story flow as well as testing & polishing phases New Content: the chapter will not be the only new content to the game, you will also find new content in the forest which will be available in the public beta soon Public Beta Updates: While no new content has been added yet, small teasers for Chapter 2 can already be found in the beta version. We have also implemented several technical improvements, a full voice chat overhaul, a complete menu overhaul and a new UI including a better controller support. This version has been updated frequently in the last few weeks so make sure to switch if you want to experience current updates to the game! Saving & Loading Rework: In our last announcement, we mentioned potential issues with the saving/loading system. We are happy to tell you that we've successfully reworked the system without losing previous save files, so your progress from Chapter 1 should be safe! Performance Boost: We have managed to improve performance, especially for lower-end computers. Connection Issues: If you've been experiencing problems connecting with other players, we highly recommend trying out the public beta. This will help us gather valuable feedback that Chapter 2 will benefit a lot from. When Will Chapter 2 Be Released? We would love to release the ch...

  Chapter 2 News

  Investigators! With this news announcement, we would like to give you an overview of what's happening with The Devourer & what else is happening around it. We'll be as transparent as possible with the informaton we're giving you. To start off, we would like to apologize for the long wait. For all players that have been around here since the demo's release, they might remember that the implementation of Chapter 1 took around 6-7 months. This being said, we assume around the same amount of time needed for Chapter 2 including playtesting and bug fixing. For you this would mean the expected update for Chapter 2 should be around Mid-End of May! What can you expect? Of course, Chapter 2 as the next story chapter which will have its own flair to it. You can again expect around 2 hours of playtime in this chapter - more if you want to walk around the forest and do everything, but as done with Chapter 1, this will have its own location - which we are showing you in a few screenshots attached to this post :) New elements in the forest to discover New dangers / entities Fully redesigned menu system including technical fixes Reworked saving / loading system - which unfortunately means you'll need to play the intro with the graves etc. again, but Chapter 2 will be accessible without playing Chapter 1. During Early Access development the save file structure will change which will probably always come with saves getting corrupted Fully reworked lobby system, the lobby is a playable 3D lobby now Reworked Voice Chat system so it is fully functional What else should you know? By now you might also know that we have decided to develop our second title PANICORE while going on with The Devourer. This has multiple reasons: We wanted you guys to have something made by us to play inbetween chapter waits We wanted to improve our skills: this one is huge for us, for example a fully functional and better voice chat has been implemented for PANICORE which The Devourer will benefit from. And th...
