Hello there! How are you? How's your 2022 so far?

From here, we have a few things to tell you... As we mentioned you in our last post, this year we reached an entire decade since we started making games as an independent team in Saibot Studios. But it was just now that we actually make something special to celebrate it. Check out the special video! https://youtu.be/S4-E40ce_Oo Together with this video, we built and launched a collection with all our published games, including: the Doorways saga, Hellbound and The Black Heart > LINK TO BUNDLE < Buying the games from the bundle, gives you a 15% of discount on all the titles. And if you already have one or more of the games included in the package, it will discount you the titles you're missing without needing to buy the entire bundle

TENEBRIS SOMNIA

On the other hand, we receently announced our new creation: Tenebris Somnia. This is a very unique title by the great Andrs Borghi, creator of The Black Heart
We're developing this project Andrs and I (Tobas Rusjan), together with a great team of artists. You can read more about it and the dev team in this other post we did the past week. If you like the concept of the game, don't forget to add it to your Wishlists. We're aiming to have it ready during 2023 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2121510/Tenebris_Somnia/

OUT OF BOUNDS

In the mean time, I keep working on my little jam game Out of Bounds, a rare title with action, shooting and puzzles. We released a demo in June and it's still available to check directly from the store page:
My idea is finish the full game for the end of the year. So play the demo and add it to your wishlist if you liked it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1787100/Out_of_Bounds/

HELLBOUND... HELLBOUND?

This month we received the great news from our (now) former publishers that they're giving us back the IP of Hellbound What does this mean? Finally, we at Saibot Studios are going to start receiving sales from Hellbound on Steam. Since the release of 2020, all the sales went to the publisher because that was what we stablished: they recoup their investment first, and then we split; but we never reached that last step because they never recoup their part with the sales we had. But now after two years from the release, they're giving us back the game so we can atleast see some of the sales. Also, we got back the full rights of the project to take any desision we want from now on
In March of this year there was the Best of Boomer Shooters Bundle, the first collection of Humble Bundle focused on retro FPSs. Hellbound had the honour to be included in that package, becoming the first argentinian game in participate in the iconic Humble Bundle: https://youtu.be/ndqIlyYFVJM Both the sales from this collection and also the sales from now on (September of 2022) at Steam are going to us at Saibot. Yes, finally! But unfortunately, this aren't earnings for us yet, since we still need to recoup all we put to create the Hellbound: Survival Mode in 2016-2018. So the future of Hellbound is still uncertain... The good thing is that everything has started looking brighter now, we'll see how things turn for our Hellgore in the next months That would be all for now, people.
