Girl Genius Comic-ception!

Read the Girl Genius Comics Within a Video Game with Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne The Kickstarter for Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne is a new and exciting avenue for the Girl Genius comics and Studio Foglio. However, this isnt just because the universe will be expanding to video games.
A new announcement from Rain Games has confirmed that If the Kickstarter for the video game is successful, players will also be able to dive deeper into the universe through a built-in comics reader in-game, including the entirety of the Girl Genius comics, for free. Normally the comics for Girl Genius can be read physically or through a reader on the Girl Genius website, but this new video game feature allows for reading in-game on multiple platforms and devices. So far Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne has only been confirmed for Nintendo Switch and PC, however, Kenneth from Rain Games says, PC and Nintendo Switch will be our priority if the Kickstarter is successful, however Its unlikely that well stop there as Rain Games tend to release on as many platforms as possible.
The comics reader will be provided through a partnership with InkyPen, a company who have created a subscription based all-you-can-read comic and manga service on Nintendo Switch. The reader will also come with a ton of features included in InkyPen that allow for different reading experiences such as: - Horizontal and Vertical ReadingToggles - Scroll Mode and Snap Mode toggles - Zooming - Touch control (for applicable devices) The Kickstarter for Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne is running right now at 93%, with 4 days left. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ggadventures/girl-genius-adventures-in-castle-heterodyne.

Shocking News! Teslagrad 2 is in Development

Teslagrad 2 is coming! The sequel to the critically acclaimed 2013 indie game, Teslagrad, has been confirmed to be in the works by Rain Games. Much like its predecessor, Teslagrad 2 is set to be an exploration-based Metroidvania game with magnetic physics and will use the visual style that won the hearts of the players in the original. Teslagrad was our first game as an indie team and the response was amazing. From then on, fans have been asking us about a sequel, and it has never been far from my mind Peter W. Meldahl at Rain Games Teslagrad was a fresh experience in gaming with its magnetic physics based mechanics. Now Rain Games intends to take this experience up a level within the sequel, by sparking new life into the game with additions that will set it apart from the original. This game has been rattling at the back of my mind for 6 years while weve been working on our games, Ive hoarded the best ideas from those years to use for Teslagrad 2 says Peter Based in the unexplored region of Wyrmheim, the game's design is set to be heavily based on the developers' home of Norway. Viking carvings and Nordic runes are at the heart of Wyrmheim, shaping the environment from the foundation up. Rain Games has gone into overdrive this year, working on 2 other titles alongside Teslagrad 2. With their new title, Mesmer, a very different game set in the same world, launching soon, as well as Kickstarting Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne! So much Steampunk!

Teslagrad patched for newer Mac OS

It came to our attention that for a period Teslagrad could no longer run on new installations of the Mac operating system. We work hard to make our games as available as possible, so we have released a patch. This is now tested and seems to have solved the issue entirely! For anyone who had a bad experience getting Teslagrad to work for Mac in the recent months: We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you update Teslagrad on Steam now, all issues should be fixed. Happy Playing!

Discover a new story and jump into the World to the West


Last Friday we reached a new milestone, our most important day ever since that distant December 13 in 2013. World to the West finally landed on Steam! What can we tell you about our new game, in just a few words? Well, let's start by introducing our characters. Four this time and some of them will ring a bell to many of you. A young Teslamancer, an optimistic underdog, a seasoned explorer and a strongman aristocrat out of his depth find themselves flung into an adventure none of them signed up for, in a land that holds secrets best left forgotten. An unlikely troupe that must use their unique abilities to find glory, get revenge, and for some, simply find a way home. We have changed our way to tell the story a bit: instead of using Teslagrad's silent storytelling, World to the West develops a more "traditional" narrative. But this doesn't mean that we have given up our distinctive style. In words of our CEO and game designer, Peter, “voiceless storytelling suited Teslagrad really well, but it did leave a lot unsaid. We are still not fans of big exposition dumps, but now the names and history of characters, monsters and other things can be picked up intuitively trough the dialog in the game." So, yes, lots of things to discover! A new continent, new gameplay switching between four different characters with unique abilities; a more in-depth look into the lore of the universe where Teslgrad took place, with much more than meets the eye. Scary monsters and lovable furry creatures! If you want to join us in this new adventure, remember you can grab World to the West with 15% discount until May 12. As Lord Clonington would say... Tally-ho! http://store.steampowered.com/app/530020/World_to_the_West/

World to the West Steam Page is Live!


Hello there, amazing Rain community! It’s been a while since our last update, almost a year. We've been working hard. Now we will soon be ready to release World to the West, a standalone followup of our (your) beloved Teslagrad that will be released on May 5. An action adventure game where you will get to know a lot more about the lore and the universe behind Teslagrad, and with significant changes: no voiceless storytelling now, but a vibrant story around four peculiar heroes. Take a look for yourselves: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885154766 This time we are launching straight to consoles, rather than doing the slow porting over several years like last time. We will even have a good round of physical releases around most of the world. But of course we will also be available here on Steam from day one. This was where we started out with Tesalgrad after all. We have just set up our Steam page. If you want to show us your support, and also make sure that you get our launch discount, put up World to the West on your wishilist! http://store.steampowered.com/app/530020/ We are all really looking forwards to hear what you all think of our new title. Yeah, it is pretty different in some respects. Thogh there's tons of great stuff for Teslagrad fans in there. Returning characters, a revisit to the city of Teslagrad, Easter Eggs that might only be decodable if you played both games, and even some hints that might help solve some of the old mysteries in Teslagrad that the community haven't gotten to the bottom of yet. We love our world and the joint story that we are building in it. We are planning more games that will explore it even further in the future. I hope you all want to join us for the ride.

Teslagrad 1.4.1 is here! Steam Cloud ready more

Hello there! A new version of Teslagrad has been released, bringing a couple of improvements and a new feature which has been long awaited: Steam Cloud compatibility! Once you open Teslagrad after updating to version 1.4.1, all your saves will be transferred to Steam’s save system. If you have synchronization enabled, this will mean you have your saves in the cloud as long as you are connected to your account. Please bear in mind that once Steam has any of your saves in the cloud, the old save folder will be ignored (and that means ‘ignored’, not ‘deleted’). FAQ

  • Does this also affect settings? No.
  • I don’t see my old saves, have they been deleted? No, your old savegames will not be overwritten in any case. Teslagrad might, however, prioritize to show your cloud saves, if any are present.
  • Is there any way to delete the saves from Steam’s save system? Yes, there is a new keyword in the settings file: “resetCloudSavesNextRun”. This will cause Teslagrad to first delete all Teslagrad savegames from the cloud, then upload from the old folder again… if there are any saves stored there. If no saves are found in the old folder, the cloud will now be empty of Teslagrad savegames. Make sure there is a line like the following: “resetCloudSavesNextRun: True” after the line containing ‘isFullScreen’.
Warning: Be careful when modifying the settings file! SettingsConfig.asset can be found at: Windows: %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalLowRainTeslagradSettings Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Rain/Teslagrad/Settings Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Rain.Teslagrad/Settings Besides, we have also added new Controller Mappings for Xbox One controllers, which should make things easier for all of you using them. Hope you enjoy it!

    Features

    • Complex puzzles! Put your sense of logic to the test and cleverly manipulate the world around you using electricity and magnetism, the lifeblood of the game. Puzzles will range from “pff, that wasn't so bad” to keyboard-smashing, controller-chewing frustration.
    • Explore! Make your way through rich 2D hand-drawn surroundings as you journey into — and beyond— Tesla Tower, picking up use amazing new items as you go.
    • Visual storytelling! Tired of all those words in your video games? Have no fear, Teslagrad features not a single snippet of text or squeak of dialogue. Everything is purely visual, and the entire story is told through what you see (and sometimes what you don't see).
    • Steampunk powered! Discover a dystopic and mind-blowing rainy-and-brainy setting, presenting a steampunk vision of an old Europe-inspired new world.
    • Old-school boss fights! Use your skills and wits to overcome the 5 incredible final bosses eager to demagnetize you.
    • No disruptions! That means no loading screens, no GUI, no cutscenes. Just the game and you.
    • Mesmerizing soundtrack! Awesome mix of classical orchestra, with a touch of Russian inspiration and a myriad of metal bits and electrical stuff.

    Teslagrad is available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

    "It's beautiful minimalist storytelling, and it fits really well with the gameplay proper, which is delightful in more ways than one." Jared Rosen, Indiestatik.
