Depths of Sanity Launches on Nintendo Switch August 29th!
It’s been a long, LONG time since we last spoke. Apologies for the radio silence, but our team has been heads down and we didn’t want to reach out until we had big news. And now we do: Depths of Sanity launches on Nintendo Switch on August 29th! If you’re someone who has been following us and waiting for that version, check out the launch page and wishlist it here. We’ll be running a launch discount on Switch, so definitely wishlist and grab it the first week it goes on sale. Thank you for all of your support, and please tell your friends! It means a lot for us to finally have Depths of Sanity hit consoles, and it took WAY longer than we anticipated to make it happen (babies, ya’ll, they ain’t a joke). We’ll be in touch with a little more info as we approach launch week. Thank you, Bomb Shelter GamesRead full article on Community Announcements (nmasercola)Patch NotesOfficial
Checking In - Update 05
Hey Everyone, We wanted to give ya'll a quick update since it's been a few months since the last notes. 1. The Xbox version nearly complete, and we're hoping to submit for approval soon. Switch version will likely take a month or two longer, we're having to do a lot of work on Biome 3 to make it run well on the machine (surprised us too). 2. Keep sending feedback -- we'll be pushing through another patch after the Xbox version goes out for submission. We've been a little slower on that front because... 3. One of our team members welcomed a new baby in the last few months, bringing the official Depths of Sanity baby count to 4, where it will hopefully remain lol. Hope to have some larger updates on the ports soon, but to everyone whose been submitting feedback and reviews, thank you. It's been a major help in getting the game discovered and making it the best version it can be. -BSGRead full article on Community Announcements (nmasercola)Patch NotesOfficial
Popping and Soft Locking - Update 04
Hey all! We're hard at working porting this fella to Xbox and Switch, so not a ton of Steam updates, just some bug fixes. Shout out to user Paradox for being too good at the end boss fight to cause a soft lock. Turns out if you killed one of the pieces within three seconds of killing another, the fight would soft lock. So that's fixed! And we forgot to include a piece of key art in the bad ending! Our bad (get it?). You may have noticed a flash to white at the end of the bad ending cutscene. That was supposed to be some sweet art piece that our artist whipped up. It is now in! You can view it below. But be warned. It's a huge spoiler. SUUUUUPER SPOILER WARNING. 100% don't look at the spoiler image below if you have not beaten the game with the bad ending. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33415716/649565e0f7e4c5a3f29f253c3981f603d2878647.png Thanks so much for playing and please send along any feedback you have. And if you haven't left a review, I will love you forever if you do. All the best, BSGRead full article on Community Announcements (Dustin_BSG)Patch NotesOfficial
Hot Fix - Update 03
Hey all! Back again this week with some bug fixes. This was a nasty one. Shout out to JubeJube1 for finding it. Turns out, if you missed the armor hull in the second world, then got the depth hull (or heat hull) then returned and got the armor hull later, it would override your better hull with the inferior armor hull. That meant you could no longer go to lower depths or withstand high heat at the end game, essentially blocking all progress. Sooooo, that had to get fixed. Thanks again, and please let us know if anything else pops up. We'll fix 'em as fast as you find 'em. BSGRead full article on Community Announcements (Dustin_BSG)
