@BellularStudios Thank you for the treasure that is The Pale Beyond. Its music captured my ears. Its story captured my imagination. Its characters captured my heart, except Templeton (kidding! or am I?) Cheers to you all from the States!

❄️While developing The Pale Beyond's narrative, we wanted to avoid portraying any character as a hero or villain. Each character presents unique social challenges and it's important to maintain decorum. •youtu.be/NQolrGrUQwA• #narrativegame #indiedeveloper

❄️Class divide kept emerging as really interesting narrative for The Pale Beyond and its what the name of the game actually refers to. Despite all their differences, you and your crew will emerge a the end of your journey with more in common than anyone else..

Quote that reads: ‘Beyond the Pale, on the other hand, lay bad news. That’s where mayhem, murder and madness resided. Most who ventured beyond it were never heard from again. And the few who did manage to return weren't always welcomed with open arms. They were no longer trustworthy; they might have seen too much.’ -Stealing Fire (Jamie Wheal & Steven Kotler 2017)

Almost there on a manifest UI issue that causes the appearance of bugs of resource bugs. The actual data is fine, but a UI bug due to a late & post QA optimisation pass caused a display problem with resource cards. We should have this patched in tomorrow.

Show this thread

Patch 1.2.2.2 is out, fixing a soft lock and the (very frustrating) dog resource bug. We’ll provide a technical TLDR in a future developer update.

Great news! We’ve isolated a major resource bug & worked out why it was missed in testing. TLDR: junk data not cleared properly, such that repeated use would eventually cause problems.

The Pale Beyond is one of my favourite games of 2023 so far. The bleakness of this polar adventure is counterbalanced by the warmth of the characters you're making this treacherous journey with. Tough but rewarding, with a bold late-game flourish.
