- V2.0 Released!!! - 23 September 2024
Hello and happy Early Halloween! I'm very happy to announce version 2.0 of CEASE TO BREATHE! What's changed? Well, I'll tell you! Spelling and Grammar fixes! During my late night programming sessions, I misspelled just about every word you could think of! SO, I went back and fixed everything I could find! If you encounter any others, PLEASE let me know! Fixed the text to actually be readable! This was a huge complaint, and I'm hoping the changes I made will help you to actually enjoy the game vs. trying to decipher the sprite fonts, lol. Numerous small bugs fixed, such as doors being opened when they are closed, etc. New Steam capsules and graphics! For added spiffiness! A new studio name! It's still just me, but I always loved the name Scribed Skull. So now I am Scribed Skull Studios. B-A-M! With that said, it might not seem like much, but it should be a big improvement from what it wa…
- Cease To Breathe v1.2.13 Changelog (The Ugly Patch) - 14 September 2023
Cease To Breathe v1.2.13 Changelog (The Ugly Patch) Today's update fixes a slew of issues, but, most importantly, it also breaks any saved game prior to the new version. I had to make some major changes to the engine and due to how I handled saved games, this led to a complete instability between the two. Therefore, you're all going to have to start over. I know, I can feel it. You hate me. I am sorry. Moving forward, this should never have to happen again. Also included in today's patch: - Fixed an issue with the basement door not opening/closing correctly - Fixed an issue pertaining to the 'Mongrel Death' - Fixed an issue with objects not properly resetting (The BIG update that broke saved games) - Fixed a slew of typos and some smaller bugs here and there (of which I forget at this particular moment lol) Speaking of typos, I realize there have been a handful (or more) of them found b…

Hello good sirs and greater madams! Three words: WE. ARE. LIVE! After months of coding, spriting, debugging, praying and neglecting my family, I have successfully kicked my creation out of the crib and into the interwebs! I hope everyone who plays it gets an enjoyable experience and I also hope there isn't a game breaking bug I might have missed (lol) - although, IF you find one, PLEASE le me know so I can fix it immediately! I'd also like to thank my family, Laura and Isaak, for not killing me this past year! And a huge shoutout to the Indieverse peeps for their continued support, giveaways, etc. I'll keep this short and sweet... HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE! -Sam

- The Road To Release! - 9 June 2023
Well Met Internet Travelers! I've been incredibly busy getting the game done and wanted to share the current state of Cease to Breathe with everyone. As of right now: Cease to Breathe has risen to well over 500 fully interactive objects now, across 20 different rooms. Almost all sounds have been recorded and implemented into the game! I have a few more samples I'd like to get in there but, overall, I'm quite happy with the outcome. Scene polishing, for the most part is done, and any more graphical modifications will only occur if I have some extra time between now and release. Musical tracks are underway and I launched the first official trailer yesterday! If you haven't seen it yet, give it a view - I think it turned out pretty cool. Speaking of the release, we have an official date now of July 3rd, 2023! It's a short amount of time to finish up the remaining tasks that need to be comp…
- The Road To Release! - 4 May 2023
Hello fellow awesome people! It's been some time since I last left an update so here we go! The Storyline is finished! We have a beginning, we have an ending, and we have a nice juicy middle to enjoy here! Think of this as fully loaded burger (or vegan burger), with all the trimmings. A grand total of 484 interactive objects (so far) across 22 rooms! A multitude of working systems that can be used (or disused) across all objects. While I'm not at liberty to say what these systems are (for fear of letting all my cats out of all my bags), I will tell you that they both make sense, in the context of the game world, and they are also crucial to solving some of the puzzles and problems you will encounter along the way. Alternate methods of solving problems and NO DUMB DEATHS! The only time you should die in one of my games is by making a stupid decision. Don't do that and you should be good…
