Here we are with a new update, and were getting closer and closer to the end of the first chapter. We added fewer areas this time, though they started to become more and more intricate gameplay wise, and changed some animations to get the stiffness out of Thyra while introducing a few new ones. As usual we also improved the scripts and other internal workings of the game, and we hope you will enjoy them.
Were really happy with how Project Utgardr is going and were excited to share, when the time is right, news of our next and last major update for the Early Access, that will mark the end of the first chapter. We hope to see you again for our biggest step yet. The TronusGames team.

So the time has come for a new update. We worked intensely last month to deliver this one in time and we hope you'll fully enjoy the new area we added. In this small preview the path our protagonist Thyra found is becoming increasingly steep and treacherous watch your steps! On the UI side of things we added new options for motion blur while we kept improving the games internal workings. The Demo will also receive an update to bring it up to speed with the Early Access.
With that being said, we're preparing to face our biggest challenge yet: working on the feedback you all left on some of our platforms to improve the player experience. Meanwhile, feel free to share more of that feedback with us to help us make the best game we can make. Stay tuned for upcoming news. The TronusGames team.

Did we promise further updates? Here is the first of many! This is a snippet of the new map section. Radiant Dandelions will help you in the adventure by unlocking the new area, we have also included some UI improvements and details. For now we have decided to make small changes and in the meantime we will continue to work on the game and improve it.
It would mean a lot to us to receive your feedback on our work, so we can ensure that our desire to create something engaging and special is felt.

We remained silent for almost 12 months This was because we decided to recreate the game from the ground up. This decision has been made after realizing the shortcomings of the game at the time and with the resulting will to create a new immersive experience that reflects our feelings of what Project Utgard should be. The development team gathered new members and collaborators, and with them we started this project over to finally make something unique and that would come from our hearts. We focused all our energy on music, art, design and programming, staying out of the picture until now... We waited until now to announce this new version of Project Utgard in order to have a demo of it ready to show you, as well as a solid plan for the early access version that we will discuss at a later date. [previewyoutube=ql34wqOz1bA;full][/previewyoutube] It would mean a lot to us to receive your feedback on our work, so that we could be sure that our desire to create something immersive and special gets through. Stay tuned for upcoming news. The TronusGames Team.

Have a wonderful day, the Utgardr Team... P.s: The new zone has been reallocated to the next week. Be ready.

Hello explorers of Utgardr, another patch is live and here below are the changes made to the game: - Jump Force inertia increased by 3%; - In-game cinematic points implemented; - Time in fall damage decreased by few seconds; - Fall damage distance increased by a few values; - Hitting an object frontally for some time does not reset your speed now; - Game menu Soul's Call button removed; - UI, menus and texts reworked; - Small world edits; Have a wonderful day, the Utgardr Team... P.s: A new zone is coming next week...

Hello everyone, speaking about the newest version of Utgardr, now i think it flows really well and it has its own continuity. This game version has smoothed lots of corners of the games. Parkour and platforming move well now and you got some new indications to what you can climb or not. All white rocks are involved in this parkour feature and now also the pillars have some white chalk strips over them, so you can feel instantly that kind of rock can be climbed up. Also the platform are easier to find and locate. The ambient was too much of the same color, so now this kind of rocks have moss on them. You would find better them and understand their shape and that they are platforms to jump if you want. Some Norse characteristic now is present. Menhirs with runes on them are placed to give you indications for the possible paths (the runic alphabet is the Elder Futhark, dated 2nd century a.d.). Red signs follow the ways and are hidden to find. Horgr (a cult point) are still present as checkpoint where you worship them or a divinity. Small altars called V have words carved upon them about a forgotten Norse tale that you can find in the poetic Edda of Snorri Sturluson. In this game version finally the Steam achievements work, except for one that i need to investigate the reason. It is about the Vrylroots plants and only one of them cannot be "noticed" inside the game... Some world edits, new parkour and platforms and storyline changes now move the game in a deeper way. It is going well and soon it will be added also some puzzles. The only puzzles present now are to figure out how to proceed the blocked road with the help of mysterious... flowers... As i wrote, next week would really like to send the new zone with a Norse altar. And later on, over or near the road, new types that are under development. Also yeah, few other parkour skills like the wall run and wall climbing that now they are not present in this version.
Well, what to say... if you would like to try the game its price is lowered for the Early Access and then it will be slightly augmented by few or one euros per chapter. It will have 3 of them. So, during the Early Access there is the possibility to purchase this adventure in advance and with a lower price. Chapters will not be released as DLCs. They will just stay in the game as a continuation of the story, with a price change after every release. As Bendy and the Ink Machine, so they just increased the total game price later on every "internal" chapter release. As final words, if you want, i can read and listen any feedback regarding this project. Player's feedback are important. Anyway we are a group of 4 people on this game, but only i can work on it in full time, rest of the fellowship got jobs or studies and do what they can do. Surely Marco (the 3d and character artist) is helping a lot, wonderful person involved in the modeling, storytelling and game's promoting parts to share this little title to the players. Also Diego is doing a fantastic job with the musics, that for me are a piece of art. Jonathan paints beautifully, doing logos, backgrounds (no ai generated) and some UI interfaces. Stealing from you too much time, thanks for reading this article and have a wonderful day and life... you deserve it... Project Utgardr

Hello everyone, i'm really glad to announce you that the Early Access, finally, has been released. New features to implement are under construction. Below a brief recap:

In the meantime, regards from the Utgardr team...

Greetings explorers of Utgardr, how are you? We are reaching this point actually. This fall of January, be ready to find the Early Access of Project Utgardr here and also on the other stores where we landed -> website. There will be some new features inside... for a discounted price... We want to release it since it can help us to fund this game and all our work (this project started 12 months ago). Also it is important to show something else to the players and to get their comments and ideas to improve the game with its features and environments.
The whole project is proceeding well. Here below there are a couple of things that we will work for this Early Access and after the release of it:

• New gameplay features inside (such as some old altars where you could find the old tale of Utgardr).
• New 3d and 2d assets, to create new zones and ambients and also to improve the menu and the Ui.
• We want to change the game name, to one that satisfies the Norse mythology, storyline and gameplay...
• If you got any idea, write it in the comments below, so we can take it into consideration.
• Other forgotten zones to explore, not present in the Demo.
• Other hidden parts and mysteries to explore.
• Original music for each scene (Home, in game...) and also for the different environments present inside (thanks to our composer Diego La Prova, here you can see and listen the first track he made).
• We want to divide the project in 3 main chapters, each of them lasting around 2/3 hours.
• The first chapter is under development and it will be released not completely for this Early Access, but it will be finished during it, focusing to develop the quality of the contents and not the quantity.
• There will not be DLCs for this game. We want to release it at a discounted price during the Early Access and then increase the total price of it, when new chapters will be released. Every chapter (not counting the first one) will increase the total price of about a couple of euros at the most.
• So people that support now Utgardr, will get the full game without paying the price of when it will be fully released. This is how the games should be done, at least for me.
• We want to sell as extra contents, only: the original hd soundtracks, the artbook and just these kind of things not related to some addition of the experience of the game. That must be for anyone the same, as i wrote above.
• If needed, there could be the possibility to support the game with another specific Kickstarter campaign, that will permit people to shape (just a bit) the game inside. This is an example of our last campaign, all detailed and explained.

Greetings hikers and explorers of Utgardr, how are you? I had to take some time for myself, since i was really busy mostly developing the game and also for some in real life things. The Kickstarter campaign has not been funded, but do not worry... this has been a fantastic experience for me and for the rest of the team. What's next so? Since this situation will delay the release of the game, we are working to create a new roadmap that will let you understand the next steps for Project Utgardr. Stay tuned here on Steam, on our website and socials so. Anyway the game roughly will be released in the Q1 2023 for Pc and Mac and it still is going to land on Consoles in the Q4 2023. We are at the end of this update and as last words i really want to thank all the people that supported this project on Kickstarter, but also over the socials where we docked! Speaking to the Kickstarter supporters, your support has been really cool for us even if we are small in numbers. As i wrote, it does not matter. We will try again, in case we will get more attention from people. So really thanks again for your pledges in this campaign. As a taoist once said: "You can learn 1.000 lessons from a defeat, but only 1 from a victory." Thanks also to all the persistent and talented people that joined this project, from the very start till now and that want to help to create something beautiful. So i can only wish you all the best in the meantime and remember you to be present at the next update. Oh, well as reminder you could try the Demo we released here on Steam and on the other stores. So we can get feedback on it. Regards, the Utgardr team...

Finally we arrived there, the STEAM PLAYTEST IS OUT! So, basically here you could see the new version of Project Utgardr, with some news and updates and of course new zones to explore. As always, would like to remember what this game is about. It is a parkour, adventure and puzzle game... in a far and old land where something want to catch the poor Sara. And she does not have time to waste... she has to Run away... Ok, after this actually you can Register to the First Playtest on Steam. So this means that you can go just to the Steam page, log in with your account and Register to the Playtest (big green button). Actually it would be nice to reach at least 100 people that will join... so let's make it happen! (oh yeah, remember to Wishlist the game too)... After a while, it will be put to the other stores too. So, if you want, do not esitate to follow Project Utgardr here: Itch.io Game Jolt Indie DB
Well, would like to write only one more thing now. This is an indie game. I started assembling it few months ago, then a guy joined to do the digital paintings (spoiler) and probably the UI of the game, then another one joined for the 3D models part and another awesome sound designer is waiting to join when the game is really well furnished with most of the details. This is all to say that... it's just you. You make the difference ignoring things and giving importance to others. I do not expect anything, just that things will flow as they have to. So if you do not want to give importance to this, it is ok, wonderful, let's go ahead and try something else. But if you want to, so i would ask to any of you, just try to share it as much of your possibilities and capabilities. On socials, making a video or just trying it, joining the game's social pages and give feedbacks to us. This is really important... feedbacks. What works for you and what not, it is very important to know this and to check if we can improve or not the game. But at least, even if it is not possible, it is important to know that. Well, i wrote too much, so take care of yourselves and if you want, let us know about how the game is and if you will join or not the Playtest. Registrations will close in 2 weeks, from now. Then you will be able to play with it. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day! P.S: If someone would like to stream some games here, just let me know that so i can give him/her the possibility to stream here, on the Steam Community page of Project Utgardr. Thanks.

Hello, Tronus here... i thought the last week to send the latest Demo build here on Steam, but lots of things delayed the releasing. Mostly because lot of work is going on behind and i really prefer to send a cool and stable game Demo instead of a glitchy and buggy one. Actually i'm organizing the group to make some new crafts, digital paintings, artwork and in game bug fixing that will really need lot of time and dedication. This lead you to wait the fall of March for the first Pre-Alpha Demo available on Steam for Project Utgardr. What you can do in the meantime? Watch the Pre-Alpha Trailer [previewyoutube=sqdvRnJ_Jbg;full][/previewyoutube] Play the current Pre-Alpha Demo on Itch.io, Game Jolt or IndieDB. Best regards, Tronus... Follow our communities: Itch.io Game Jolt Google Play IndieDb Patreon YouTube Reddit Discord

Hello, i'm working to start advertising the game on lots of platforms. So after that will be finished, i will continue to go ahead with the next version of the Pre-Alpha Demo. The idea is to send a new one here on Steam, on Itch.io, on Game Jolt and on IndieDb, in the next 2 or 3 weeks. This to be certain to clear lots of bugs that have arisen and to let people talk and share the game to build awareness. Most bugs verified concern movements and parkour behaviours, like the wall climbing for example. I think that will need a lot of work... Do not want to grab more time from you, so when we will arrive near the date... i will alert. In the meantime, have a good day you all and check out the Pre-Alpha Trailer on YouTube, if you want. Obviously you are free to share thougths and suggestions to improve the game and the whole experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqdvRnJ_Jbg
