• Launching Figurine Scene Simulator Soon, Ambient Channels Update Following - 7 February 2022

  Hello all, You may have noticed the lack of updates for Ambient Channels for some time. ːsteamthumbsdownː We sincerely apologize for the delay, we hit several barriers to our platform and addressing them became a much longer project than anticipated. We're a very small team without the ability to add additional resources quite yet, so we've just had to push through and try to get everything on track asap. A brief outline the barriers that we needed to overcome: Decrease the game download size and allow episodes to be individually chosen Improve general graphic/rendering quality Decrease initial load time Add characters to populate the episodes that range across many genres To address them, after the last release of Ambient Channels, we started to rev the platform pretty hard and then during development, ended up spawning a separate game to handle the characters. In our new game, Figurin…

• Next Release Update - 16 November 2021

  Hi All, We apologize for the long delay since the last update or news. Our other game we're in the middle of releasing, Figurine Scene Simulator fell behind schedule and we had to focus everything on finishing its first early access release. Once we release Figurine Scene Simulator, we will be finishing our big update for Ambient Channels. Core Game Updates Include: Faster Game Loading - Reduces the initial game load time by around 75%. Modular DLC - Currently all of our game content is packaged in the core download which is challenging to scale, the Modular DLC update will move the download process to allow you to choose which episodes you want to download through the UI. New Scenes - we have about a dozen new episodes with camera fly throughs to add. Figurine Scene Simulator Integration - If you have Figurine Scene Simulator (FSS) installed, you'll be able to import your characters to…

• Pricing Structure Change Input Request - 1 August 2021

  Hi All, We're looking at making a fairly big pricing structure change and wanted to provide an opportunity for anyone who'd like to comment. (At the least, we'd like to be transparent.) We're currently considering making 90% of episodes free for the different ambiance modes. The 10% that wouldn't be free would usually be due to mature content such as violence/gore or a specific artist spotlight where we're splitting revenue with that episode's artists. We would add a new fairly-low priced DLC that would provide the game modes to any episodes you'd have access to, so in this case, most people would spend the same on this DLC as purchasing 3-4 episodes and have access to the 90% of the content without paying anything else to be able to play all the current and future game modes including the multiplayer ones. There would also a new moderately priced DLC that would unlock a new editing mod…

• New Update In Development - 17 July 2021

  Hi All, We're currently working on a large platform update that will also include new episodes. The update will include some new features that should make episodes more enjoyable and fixes to issues like the duration initial game loading time. We're aiming for late summer/early fall. In the meantime, we've made all current episodes available in the game. Thanks for your attention! Simulated Entertainment

• New Episode + Enhanced Game Modes - 2 April 2021

  We've been working to re-imagine the game modes to make them more engaging and take into consideration some of the feedback. In this update, we've overhauled our existing 2 game modes and added a new one. Hidden Objects Previously in Hidden Objects, you find items in the scene and click on them to add them to your found Hidden Objects set until you have found all the items which completes the chapter. The hidden objects for the chapter were displayed in a list and you'd go about the episode and when an item hadn't been picked up, it would show a blue outline when you moved the view target over it. After the update, the general idea is the same, but now you now look through the episode for obscured objects and then fill in the real item by clicking on the obscured one. This allows you to see which items have already been placed from a greater distance without having to hover over them. I…

• Multiplayer "Soft Open" in new Zanfium Tower Lounge Episode. - 9 March 2021

  Well, it turns out that our plans for the January release were a bit ambitious for our little development studio ːsteamhappyː We had a vision of delivering the Zanfium Tower - Lounge episode in January with multiplayer+voice support and a new casual VR mode that lets people create and consume food to enjoy the environment with a friend or two (along with 2 other planned episodes), but it turned out that we should have released interactive mode and then multiplayer as releases over 2 months. Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy this release and what we're able to build off of it going forward in our drive to hit our release feature set. Multiplayer We've introduced the first set of multiplayer features for a single game mode in a single episode, Zanfium Tower - Lounge. We're calling it our "soft open" for Multiplayer because we can't significantly test multiplayer across a larg…

• January Episodes and Multiplayer Support Coming Soon - 1 February 2021

  We're currently working to finish our January release but are running a few days behind. The release includes new Multiplayer with voice support for our first interactive episode and a Winter Mountains episode which includes a large scavenger hunt game. We're currently fixing bugs and adding the interactive objects and plan to release it in the first week of February. (Our next multiplayer update will add multiplayer support to a few more episodes and support for co-op and vs modes for Hidden Objects and Secret Items games.)

• Internet Radio & 3 New Episodes for December - 21 December 2020

  Ambiance Machine In the spirit of using Ambient Channels to help create focus or relaxation time, we previously added a media companion application 'Ambiance Machine'; a combination of simple themed Screensavers, such as a beach scene, a rainy city scene, etc, plus an Event Scheduler. The Event scheduler allows you to setup dated or daily/weekly events which will popup a reminder for you to start the event and then run the selected Episode or screensaver w/music playlist for the duration you specify. When the duration expires, an alarm will go off to tell you the timer is up. Internet Radio In this update, we've added Internet Radio with 300 starting stations across a number of genres. You can open up Infinity Jukebox (F5) from any Ambient Channel episode and switch from a music playlist to a radio station and then hit F5 to close the jukebox and return to your episode. Ambiance Machine…
