- About the Upcoming new level - 26 April 2018

It's been a labor of love from the beginning. The models took me around 3 weeks to make and materialize correctly (I've been working on them since March). I use the 3D modeling software Blender for all of my 3D art. The level design, which I admit isn't my specialty, took an additional 3 weeks while working on the localization update. I usually start by roughly sketching the level and then laying out block pieces to try and visualize what I want to do while keeping my scope small enough to prevent becoming overwhelmed. This level includes 2 poems, but you may or may not see all of the stanzas since there are several ways to finish it. I ha…
- 3.0 Release Date Announcement - 26 April 2018
Hi Everyone! I have finally been able to nail down a scheduled release date for the 3.0 release of Immersive Poetry, which includes a whole new map! This update is scheduled to be sent out on May the 3rd (May the third be with you... Nah doesn't work), anytime that day (I have to physically be here to release it, and sometimes I have a life to partake in). The new level has been completed, and since it's my favorite so far, it will be available to all players, regardless of how far you currently are in the game (Even if you haven't started yet, you will be able to play this one). I would release it earlier, but I am rushing to finish the localization for the new level and the settings menu as promised. I don't think I have the time to localize the poems before this update, but I am trying my best. A lot of time and effort goes into this process behind the scenes. I hope you are excited!…
- Localization Update v2.8.0 (April 19th) - 19 April 2018
The Localization update is here! Patch Notes Added the Russian Language Completely changed the fonts in the game to be more compatible with the Cyrillic AND Latin alphabets. Small bug fixes in preparation for the end of April release. What IS NOT TRANSLATED: Poems (Coming Soon) Poems in the extras menu Settings Menu (Coming Soon) Redesigned the handwritten font in the journals to allow Cyrillic. Added a Language Option at the bottom of the settings menu to switch languages. Click the desired language and allow the game to momentarily load the language you selected. Changed the way the game is packaged to allow a better and faster update system. This is why the update is ~400MB. Known Issues Missing capitalizations in Russian translations Text may clip off screen at times due to the new font style and sizes. This update brings the Russian language to most parts of the game, including all…
- Upcoming Update 2.8.0 (Language Support) April 19th, 2018 - 12 April 2018
The 2.8.0 version of Immersive Poetry will be releasing on April 19th. This update will add the Russian language to the game, as well as support for other languages in the future. What ISN'T translated? Everything in the game has been localized excluding the extras menu poems and the poem texts in game, the latter of which will be translated in the End of April update (3.0, no scheduled release date as of yet and may be the first week of May). It is possible that I have missed some texts throughout the game, and if this is the case, please email me or post the missing translations on the discussion boards. This is my first attempt at translating a game inside of this engine, so mistakes may be present, and I apologize in advance for anything that goes awry. Why? The unlockable poems are not translated due to the fact that these are images and not text on a backdrop. I will need to remak…

Additionally, things are still on schedule for this quarter's two updates, the first of which is April 30th. Thank you! :)

- End of Q1 Update: Localization - 15 March 2018
Hello Players! This is an announcement regarding localization for the game. I am hoping to have this update out by the end of March, or the first week of April (I will be away for a week from March 28th-April 7th), depending on time. This update will bring the Russian language to the game. More languages will come in the near future. I sincerely apologize for the long delay. There were some hiccups a couple of months ago in the localization process. This update will wrap up the first quarter and bring us into the second with some bug fixes to accompany it. Thank you for your patience!

- Immersive Poetry 2018 Roadmap - 9 March 2018
Roadmap Hello players! I have completed a short and sweet roadmap for Immersive Poetry in 2018. Development for the next title is slightly behind schedule, and as such, Thalasse Games will continue to provide support and content for Immersive Poetry in the meantime. I apologize for the lack of new content and features. Some things end up being more daunting than originally planned, but I promise that new stuff in on the way. Q1 Even though the first quarter of the year is already wrapping up, don't fret! This update is already in the testing stage and is being pushed out within the next week or two. This is what I have spent the better part of the past couple of months working on, and again, I apologize for its tardiness. This update has full gamepad support for the game, including UI navigation, along with some other little features and design changes. Q2 I am taking a trip to the stat…

- Incoming Roadmap! - 4 March 2018
Hello everyone! I apologize for the lack of communication and updates lately. I have been dealing with sickness and very cold weather as has my wife. Hopefully, things will pick up as usual soon. Enough about that, onto the announcement: I am currently preparing a roadmap for Immersive Poetry that extends throughout the 2018 year. This roadmap includes the plans for the game and what to look forward to. I know that the game itself doesn't have much replayability, so I also hope that this roadmap will let you know when to return for new content updates! It should be ready in the next few days, and if anything changes, I will keep you posted!

- Update v2.0.5 (February 5th, 2018) - 5 February 2018
Patch Notes Fixed an issue that caused the player to die on the Four Ages of Man if they did not exit the level fast enough after winning. Addressed an issue (hopefully fixed) that caused the boat to become unusable on a Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky if the player had already finished the level. Still monitoring for more potential causes Small Patch Notes I apologize for this patch being so small. A teaser trailer for Thalasse Games' next endeavor is in the making, and most time has been spent on this. Additionally, in the process of updating Immersive Poetry's engine version, something broke, and the project had to be reconstructed using a previous version. This may lead to unforeseen bugs. The studio is monitoring and testing gameplay to ensure that no major issues have been missed.

Good Afternoon! This is an announcement regarding an upcoming update to Immersive Poetry. While I don't have an exact date the update will be ready, it should be within the next few days. I am currently in the process of upgrading the game to a more stable and optimized version of its engine, which means a more stable and optimized experience for you!
