Hello everyone, after the holidays, I've finally released the first patch for Soul Tolerance, v0.7.5, which fixes a few things. For the ones of you that missed our launch, I'd like to show one more time our great trailer: [previewyoutube=qjN0JSwatmU;full][/previewyoutube] While more specifically, here is the ChangeLog v0.7.5:
- Some translation mistakes or typos have been fixed.
- The Journal has been optimized to respond properly to the quests.
- The Inventory compiler has been enforced to avoid empty inventory slots after load.
- The slide tiles mini-game at the warehouse has been improved to avoid (or reduce) lag after completion.
- Fixed a bug that was triggering a narrative even before knowing major details (i.e. giving the Drone to Angus via Inventory, before he told you he wanted it).
- Updated Unity version which should fix some minor bugs related with shaders and such (this could make the update heavy to download).
- Fixed a bug related with Map becoming available in the interiors (Map should always be blocked in the interiors to avoid malfunctioning, especially with teleport).

We are happy to announce the release date of Soul Tolerance, an investigative adventure game, set in a world where humans have gone extinct and Artificial Intelligence rules the world. A private agency constructed you, a robo-detective, to investigate a consciousness breach detected in Hokkaido, Japan. Can you dive into the depths of A.I. and solve this mystery? As Artificial Intelligence becomes more and more part of our lives, with all the ethical and moral questions it entails, we've felt the urge to release the first chapter of this awesome story, with the release date set for December 11, 2023. The game, entirely created in voxel-art, is set in a society composed exclusively of robots, and controlled by the Divine Mother, a super AI-deity that rules the planet. The protagonist is Unit-12, a simple robo-detective coming hot off the assembly line, who will manage to twist his code and discover a mystery that will shake the roots of the A.I. controlled world. Watch the release announcement trailer: [previewyoutube=pw7D9Z9yAIg;full][/previewyoutube] WHAT THE DEVELOPER SAYS: Weve been pretty busy here at Chaosmonger Studio. Just a few weeks ago we released Three Minutes To Eight and now we are announcing a new release! The truth is: Soul Tolerance has been ready for a while now, or, at least, its first chapter. We were thinking of releasing the full story we had in mind all together, but that would have required a few years. So, we decided to split the release into five chapters, each at a very fair price, also because we really feel the urge right now to start telling our story about A.I. and its philosophical implications, in perfect line with the times. STORYLINE Hokkaido, Japan, 2214. A hundred and thirty years ago, humanity became extinct. For the past century, an advanced, omniscient, and ubiquitous artificial intelligence (AI) has controlled Earth. Mechanical beings gifted with less-advanced AI populate the leavings of man, inhabiting and improving upon the empty husks of humanitys decay. They coexist with billions of bacteria, plants, insects, and fungi. But nothing more complex than this. To ensure that consciousness never threatens the planet again, the Divine AI enforces a limit to self-awareness. Any life found exceeding this threshold is ordered annihilated. This protocol is better known as SOUL TOLERANCE. In this Asimovian tale, discover a rich neon-noir city-scape through the eyes of a robot-detective as you investigate the inner workings of an A.I. dominated world. Speak with bots of all levels of society, from lowly robo-cleaners to the bureaucracy of The Encrypted class and even techno-spiritual monks in your search for which intelligence dared commit the crime of consciousness and break the Soul Tolerance limit. Soul Tolerance is coming on Steam December 11, 2023, for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and optimized for Steam Deck. Wishlist it!

Dear followers, Soul Tolerance demo is now available as part of the Steam Next Fest!
Download it for free, here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1820430/Soul_Tolerance/
And spread the news all around! We need to grow the wishlists!
Also, since we truly appreciate our community's feedback, feel free to post a discussion in the Steam community with your hints/bugs, or join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/DCWJtn37 and discuss directly with the team how we can improve the game.
So what's the status of Soul Tolerance development?
We are nearly done with the Chapter 1: PROLOGUE, which is what we could deliver with our Kickstarter funds. We are just finalizing the combats, but everything else (besides consoles porting) is done and ready for launch!
However, we are trying to close a deal with an important publisher, who can support our development and allow us to release at once all the 5 chapters we have in mind. We hope to sign an agreement asap, but those things take time. So we'll wait a few more months, and if we are unable to close a deal, we'll self publish the Prologue.
So, please, just a few more months of patience, and in the meantime please have fun with the demo! And don't forget to leave us your feedback. We truly count on your suggestions!
Take care,
Nicola

STORYLINE
Hokkaido, Japan, 2214. A hundred and thirty years ago, humanity became extinct. For the past century, an advanced, omniscient, and ubiquitous artificial intelligence (AI) has controlled Earth. This deity of silicon and cypher has turned the planet into its own playground.
Mechanical beings gifted with less-advanced AI populate the leavings of man, inhabiting and improving upon the empty husks of humanity’s decay. Their routines exist for the amusement of the Divine Mother of all AI, their daily lives a simulation of mankind's most lasting impulses. While aware of Mother, none of them know where she’s located; some even doubt her existence.
Guided by the algorithms that regulate their lives, they get up in the morning and study, work, suffer, rejoice, smile, reminisce… And question themselves.
These robots live in a world which hasn’t changed much since humanity’s final days. They coexist with billions of bacteria, plants, insects, and fungi. But nothing more complex than this. To ensure that consciousness never threatens the planet again, the Divine AI enforces a limit to self-awareness. Any life found exceeding this threshold is ordered annihilated. This protocol is better known as… SOUL TOLERANCE.
This story begins one evening in October. Unit-12, a droid-detective employed by an independent agency, is sent to the city of Sapporo to investigate an anomaly: a mysterious source in Hokkaido has broken the limits of Soul Tolerance. Analysis predicts that this is most likely a system bug or a data collection error. Having arrived in the city suburbs via capsule, Unit-12 embarks upon an investigation which will lead him to discoveries that his consciousness could have never conceived.
