- ERRORS WHEN TRYING TO PLAY 💥 - 17 January 2025
Hello everybody, how are you? How did you start 2025? We are aware of some troubles that are ocurring recently in The Black Heart when you try to play the game from the Steam library. You can easily fix this by playing the game from its directory and opening the "TheBlackHeart.exe" file. To find that directory, you need to right click the game from the Steam libreary > Properties > Installed Files > Browse... The errors when trying to play the game from Steam are probably related to a recent Steam update which has troubles with the current version of the engine The Black Heart is using. We're trying to fix that but it requires some external work since its related to the engine, not the game. In the mid time, you can continue playing the game from the directory like we said above. We're sorry for these, but it's something that exceeds us and we've been told about it this week. We have al…

- 🚨 New game Out of Bounds is NOW AVAILABLE! 🚨 - 20 December 2022
Hello, everybody! How have you been? We're doing PRETTY WELL! Closing this crazy 2022 celebrating 🥳 And that's not only because our football team won the World Cup, but also because we have just released a new game on Steam: Out of Bounds is a peculiar title that was originally created for a game jam the past year (Epic Megajam 2021). As a solo dev, I had 7 days to create a game that was later released for free on Itchio. Since I liked the result of the jam, I decided to keep working on that idea for the next months and also some great devs (former colleagues from other projects) joined me to get the best results in visuals (Viktor Ahmed and Claudio "Scuzzo" Sagrera) and audio (David Levill) 🙌 THE GAME Out of Bounds is a title about "creating" a game and "fixing" bugs... Yeah, it's crazy. You will pickup blueprints, compile shaders, test sound effects, drink a lot of coffee. But watch…

- 🎂 10 YEARS OF SAIBOT! 🎉 - 1 March 2022
Hello, people! How are you? How did you started 2022? 🤓 In a day like today, but from 2012, we officially started a crazy adventure called Saibot that continues to date. Actually, the very begginning was in 2011 with the conceptualization and prototype of what ended up being our first title Doorways (read more). But it wasn't until March of 2012 that, after I partened with my Uncle and friend Ivan Rusjan, we finally started working as a team. We built the first Saibot "office", which was actually my room along side the bed and at my Mom's department, and we used some old tables as desks that my Grandma gave us ❤️ And from then, a lot of enechdotes and experiences started hapenning. With tons of fails and drop downs, but also with some wins, we were able to keep going to date doing what we love the most: creating our own games and delivering them all over the world 🌎 So I decided to ta…

The FINAL countdown starts today! Only 1 day remains until The Black Heart achieves its final form... WISHLIST NOW! The scary and all powerful Final is the character of this last day, check out his facts below! Final is considering by many as one of the toughest bosses in a fighting game 🤕 And his quote "¡Es el final!" in Spanish, means "It's the end!" in English. Fanart by Carla Gimenez "Final" was actually there from the very "beginning" 🤯 His creator Andres Borghi designed him back in 2001, when the creator was still at high school: According to Andres, most of the inspiration for the design of Final came from Lovecraft, Urotsukidoji and Elder God 👁️ And Final's face was based on the creature that appears on the background of the Queen Beryl's lair from the anime Sailor Moon 🌙 Follow us for more content!
