Latest Steam announcements

• December 2020 Update - 13 December 2020

  It has been far too long since the last update. The new Streamer Friendly recommendations have taken a lot of time to figure out and extra planning involved for the next steps. This update, I'm happy to say Blue Time is now streamer friendly with Music being OFF by default. The Main Menu has the toggle buttons to set music to be on or not. Old Save files may no longer be compatible with the game and you may need to delete previous save game files to enjoy this ne option. Voice acting is still a priority but it has been delay further with making sure options for content creators are fully functional before adding in content. No additions to levels in this update however we are still working on content. Have a happy and safe holidays. Next update in early 2021. Regards, Tabula Rasa Game Studio

• Weekly Update 5 - 24 May 2020

  Weekly Update 5: New enemy Type. This week was more about making changes to the blueprints for the new UE4 4.25 engine to reduce warnings during the build process. A new enemy was introduced in this update. The future Security robots. They are faster, takes more damage, faster firing weapons, can't target themselves and once they detect the player will chase you through time. You are no longer safe to swap time to avoid an enemy as they also have the time travel ability. With a more advanced AI running them, they are also more difficult to sneak up on and chase the player for a longer period pf time before searching and returning to patrols. Bug Fix Report: A boot loop was discovered in last weeks update and was causing some users reporting the game would not load the main menu and crash. This issue has now been resolved.

Other changes: *Tutorial: Wall and targets added at Store to help navigate players as the drone to the secret tunnel. *Tutorial: Rocket Turret coding changes to avoid firing early that was destroying the power box for the player early. *Kepler/ Hub World: Invisible walls added around player spawn point to avoid damage during opening cutscene.
