• Gamescom 2026 @ Indie Arena Booth - 22 August 2026

  Hi everyone,I am honoured to be part of the Indie Arena Booth lineup this year again at Gamescom 2026 and look really forward to meeting everyone. If you happen to be there, please make sure to pop by! The playtest is live and running for the duration of Gamescom. I am looking to get as much input as possible on the game to make this the best version possible. The intention of the playtest is to get input on the core mechanics and feel of the game. The amount of craftables is still very limited at this stage, but I hope it provides a good impression of where the game is heading. I am grateful for any feature wishes, bug findings etc. If you know any streamers or content creators, please feel free to share! Looking forward to see you at Gamescom!All the best,Philip

• Sonorous Update February 2026 - 27 February 2026

  Dear all, It has been quite a while and I believe I owe all of you interested some update on the current developments. I have been on parental leave for the past months so my focus shifted a bit. But no worries, Sonorous has constantly been in the works (just a tad slower).The recent months I had quite a bit of struggle in terms of performance and spent a considerable time investigating. Turned out, there has been considerable degradation in DX12 performance which led me to the decision to revert back to DX11. I did a complete overhaul on the resources management and environment instancing which gave me a considerable boost! But there are also so new additions! On request, Sonorous now features a marine support animal. It got trapped by some fishing nets and developed a bond with you to show its gratitude for saving it. Other than that, I decided to revise the movements and behaviours o…

• Status Update: What is going on?! - 13 March 2024

  Hi everyone, It has been a while since I shared a last status update for Sonorous. What has been happening? So in the recent months there have been multiple aspects: World Building It took some time but now the entire Sonorous world is blocked out and everything has its place. This was a back-and-forth process to ensure that the gameplay flow and story feel harmonious with distances in the world and providing still enough space for free roam exploration. NPC I used a considerable amount of time to setup a core structure for my NPCs allowing me to exchange & add various characters and body types. The NPCs have combat abilities, unique animations and ragdoll effects. In advance, my aim is to allow dialogue and interactions between the NPCs making the whole world feel a lot more alive! Environment & Assets Along with the world building, I have been working on new assets to integrate involv…

• Performance is great and currently working on the Crafting/Building System! - 10 November 2023

  Hey everyone, First off, I have been tweaking a lot with the overall settings and performance seems great as of now. In the past, I have also revised the steam page and worked on a new trailer. I have now started looking more into the crafting & building systems. Along with basic foundations, your shelter construction can now be extend to the water surface & I added some railings to prevent you from falling off. Maybe makes your shelter a bit cosier as well :) The wall panels provide automatic variation, to prevent the tiles from repeating. Next up, I will continue with more modules and hope that the overall system will work out. Have a great weekend everyone! Here a short video of the system.

• Revised the Underwater Aesthetics with Performance Improvements! - 3 April 2023

  Hey everyone, I have revised the underwater aspects of "Sonorous." Here a video from a small performance test on the new underwater setup. 4k with highest quality settings running at 45-50 fps (QHD at 60fps) as of now. Quite happy with that result! GPU: RTX 3070 At the moment I am building the overall environment and blocking out the world before continuing mission development and integration of new assets and game mechanics. Please feel free to give your input so I can continue improve the game! Thank you for your help in advance.
