- Final Release Progress - Five - 15 July 2025
UPDATEA quick update because work towards the final version is happening at a feverish pace. A playtesting build is very close now. The last few months have been focused on so many things across the entire game and I'm happy to say that the list of items to be complete is now very small.STORYMuch of the progress of late has been to add all of the story moments between levels and in level cinematic moments. There has been a lot missing to truly tell the story and now most of these elements are complete.The Story of the stone - Part OneThe Story of the Stone - Part TwoWEAPONSAll weapons and finalized now have ammo requirements that you will need to collect in the world from stashes, enemies or other means. Two new gameplay features have been added with these 2 new grenade types, that I just call "Splode Balls". Very interesting little things you can collect from certain plants and store f…
- Final Release Progress - Four - 6 March 2025
PLAYTESTING SOON I'm very happy to announce that the new totally reimagined version of Primordian that has been worked on day and night for the last 2 years is finally very close to completion. Within a few weeks from now it will be ready for some beta branch play testing. Feel free to message in the discussion thread for playtesting that you would like to be involved and added to the group, as your feedback and thoughts would be most valuable and very much appreciated. It will be a huge help to make this 7 year journey worth the wait for everyone. ːsteamhappyː Here is an image of the all new menu system that will be included. STRANGE FRUITS Meeko Bean, Tongo Berry are just a few of the strange fruits you will need to add to your skill set to grant things like full health, invulnerability, enemy confusion and stealth to your combat arsenal. You will also learn how to collect items to gr…
- Final Release Progress - Three - 10 November 2024
SWORD FIGHTING Since the last progress update a huge amount of work has gone into the enemies and combat, particularly melee combat with the different types of sword fighters. It's a long process to get this melee combat feeling great. Actually fighting against these enemies for countless hours, weeks, even years :) to feel and tweak how they move and react to your human moves. I've implemented a system that predicts where your sword swings are trying to hit on their body or armor and the enemy can counter your moves, dodge and jump out of the way, parry, punch you back, headbutt, steal your weapon and kick as well as other tactics. Some of this can be seen in the video here. They have a random intelligence and agility level and sometimes you will come up against a sword fighter that is so good at dodging your attacks you could swear it's another human. Melee combat was the main item pe…
- Final Release Progress - Two - 25 August 2024
Among many other items since the last news update, this month there were some new friends completed in game, here are a sample of a few creatures that will help you along your way and attack anything that is a threat to you. In action! This is an image of one of the main NPC's you will meet. "Aquon" is a neutral traveler who's only goal is to help you along your "path". He is a disciple and servant of "the eye of the path" who you will also meet in the future. Many NPC scenes are now complete with the exception of some voice over to be added. As for planning towards final release out of early access. The aim is to have the game fully polished, feature complete, bug free and playable from beginning to end by October. In early November there will be a major update that replaces the old game with this entirely new version so unfortunately old save games will be lost, but it will be worth s…

- Getting Ready! Major Milestone. - 9 March 2023
Major Milestone hit in the game progress today! 4 Months ago now I stared on the journey of recreating the entire game from scratch, yet again. Rethinking everything along the way to take into account all new VR hardware and to make it the absolute best it can be, all shiny and new for 2023 VR game standards. Very happy to report that as of today the game is feeling and looking better than I could have ever hoped and is now ready to go into the final phase of non stop testing and non stop polish. Very excited to finally be able to release the ultimate version soon that takes the game out of early access sometime in the next few months, just as soon as it is perfect and every possible issue is solved. Testing, optimizing, gathering feedback, perfecting, just takes a long time, but well worth it. I really want to thank everyone who has played / purchased or followed the game to this point…

- Full Body character option and other news. - 2 March 2020
Hi, work continues on full physics combat for the world, a large undertaking and as part of this we have implemented the option of a Full Body character. It has been some time since we posted an update but all of the plans as mentioned in previous updates are going smoothly. We would like to present the final version of the game as one big, polished download, rather than many smaller incremental updates at some stage in 2020 and no later. All levels for the game are complete, Now it is just a matter of time to re imagine the game play through all of the many hours of the story. We feel that the wait for a final quality experience will be well worth it. Thank you for the support and patience. J

Lots of news regarding plans for the final version of Primordian. After recently completing all levels for the entire game, Parts 1, 2 and 3 to bring it to a complete state and plan for the major update (not released yet). Then playing through many times with wishlist notes and many pages of feedback from the excellent thoughts on the forum and reviews so far from everyone playing in mind.

It has been a little while since an update but everything is moving along. The game has now been in early access for over one year! wow, It was never the plan to spend so long, but hearing all of the great thoughts and ideas for the game from the day it was released right up to now has meant a huge amount of time spent going over and over the first few hours of the game. Well worth it also I think and so wanted to thank everyone who has supported, enjoyed and also contributed ideas to the game so far. Thank you also for your patience as the last important section is added. Even though the game has been in early access for 1 Year, it took 2 years to get to the point of first release in Jan 2018. So after three years and n…
