- Patch 1.2 + Content Drop - 15 December 2021
Final build of 2021 is here and because the glory of the Guns of Icarus v1.1 Squid can never be surpassed, we're jumping ahead to 1.2! (Well, more work went into it than anticipated) Included is five short side stories that you can unlock while playing! There is also a new cheat page that you can unlock by finishing the story which will allow you to skip ahead between days of the story for future playthroughs. Why we didn't add that sooner? Blame the office cat! Patch Notes: 1.2 -Audio and video files converted in preparation for Android port -New extended scene side stories added to the gallery section -Fixes to routing where point allocation did not have proper values (All heroine routes should give proper alternate paths based on earlier choices) -Added cheat page at start of New Game for those who have finished the story (Ability to jump directly to Day 1, 2, or 3). -Minor spelling…

- Goodbye Early Access! - 21 September 2021
This journey started in 2013, birthed an indie dev in 2016, and now has entered and exited early access in 2021! Cheers! There will still be additions as time goes. Most of this will be sound effects and other quality of life updates. There may even be some art updates as our art team has expressed interest in touching up some pieces. However, the bulk of our work now shifts to the story arcs as the Cathedral arc is now story complete! We'd like to thank all our backers and those who came along for this ride in Early Access. Really, can't thank you enough for helping this dream project get to this point. Let's keep breaking hammers into the future!
- Final Patch of Early Access - 14 September 2021
After a little delay, here it is! The final release of Early Access! Patch update will include the last portion of story which closes out the Cathedral Story Arc. It is a minor content drop which will signify the conclusion of our Early Access adventure. If all goes well, we'll be exiting Early Access a week after this release. Thank you again for joining us on this journey!

- Content Drop 3.0 and Tyrano 2.0 - 30 June 2021
Day 3 and 4 are progressing towards release with some great news! We've updated the build to the new Tyrano 2.0 engine. This solves quite a lot of the remaining issues and makes full screen mode and resizable windows possible. Steam overlay is still in question but, we'll be hoping to resolve that at a later date. One of the biggest improvements to performance comes from the fact that it also brings the game build up to 64bit instead of 32bit. This is a move which is going to be necessary as we move forward into the story arcs. There just is that much content! We're thankful to Tyrano for their efforts on 2.0. Tyrano made this engine overhaul partly for projects like ours. The big ones! Our early work in the new 2.0 build is showing some astounding improvements in the engine. Originally we planned to release on July 1st to coincide with the anniversary. However, due to the scramble to g…
