Our Unity upgrade is nearly done! Pretty much all of the Beta is working except Ether Run, and it shouldn't be much longer for the rest. The upgrade includes a lot of performance savings in terrain!

Our Unity upgrade is improving game performance! As you can see, Medium quality gets a stable 350 FPS.

What do you think of the name Bargeist? The name draws inspiration from Barghest, the Northern English mythological canine, and the German word for ghost, “geist.” We’re excited to hear your thoughts!

Here's the "blocking" of a couple new Deerdog animations! Blocking establishes the key frames in an animation to make sure the designers are happy with the direction. From here, the rest of it will be fully animated.

Hope you've stayed safe at the pool this summer and didn't drown! (Unlike Deerdog!)

Work continues on upgrading our environments and terrain into the new engine version. We've hit a bit of a snag and turned the world into Minecraft. (Don't worry, it's already almost fixed!)

Auras are passive effects in #KindredFates that you gain through exploration, but you can only have one active at a time. What kind of Aura effects would you like to see?
