The latest 0.1 update is ready! This marks the final release for the 0.1.9 cycle, and we are already looking forward to the upcoming 0.2.1 update.

Since our last update, we have been working intensively on IDILI, focusing on optimization, accessibility, and overall project stability. We are thrilled to announce that a new patch is finally available and ready for you to test.

Over the past few few months, IDILIs journey has taken us very far, literally. We had the incredible opportunity to showcase the game in Tokyo at the Tokyo Game Show. It was an amazing experience that allowed us to connect with developers, professionals, and industry experts from all over the world. Bringing IDILI to the other side of the planet and witnessing the curiosity and interest in our project was a pivotal moment for us, fueling our motivation to push the games quality even further.

Alongside these events, the team has been hard at work on several technical goals from our roadmap. With this patch, we have achieved some major milestones:

Visual Improvements:

- Texture & Shader Optimization: Performance enhancements across the entire game world.

- Visual Refinement: Continuous improvements to technical execution and overall graphics.

Gameplay & Performance:

- Controller Support: Full compatibility for a more accessible experience.

- FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution): Increased fluidity and optimized framerates.

- Code Optimization: General improvements to game stability and performance.

- Modular System: Implementation of a modular framework to accelerate gameplay development for future updates.

- Animation Overhaul: Improved fluidity for sequences and character animations.

AI & Localization:

- AI Bug Fixes: Resolved issues with AI behavior for a more consistent challenge.

- Localization Updates: Refined translations and textoptimizations.

Technical Tips & Support:

- Recommended Settings: For the best experience, we recommend setting View Distance to High, even on minimum spec systems.

- Collectibles System: If you encounter issues with collectibles, we suggest deleting previous save slots related to them to avoid conflicts with the new update.

- Support: If you run into any bugs or issues, please comment on this post. This helps us keep the discussion organized and makes the solutions visible to other players facing the same problems.

HERE WE ARE, NEW PATCH 0.1.8 IS FINALLY AVAILABLE!

Since the last patch, we worked a lot on IDILI, trying to optimize and add more content. Now we can finally announce that our new 0.1.8 Patch is online and available to test!

During the last 2 months we did a loooot, starting from First Playable, where we talked with a lot of publishers, and the (not) last one was Gamescom; I mean, GAMESCOM!!! Can you believe it? Yes, believe it, because that's what actually happened =) We just came back from Gamescom and it was an incredible experience! We talked with a lot of professionals from the industry (Ubisoft, CD Projekt Red and more), and we received a lot of good advice about level design, gameplay, optimization, narrative etc.

Before jumping into our improvements, we'd like to remind you that we're still working hard on IDILI. We're now releasing a new patch with tons of improvements, but it wont be the last one; it will be the first of many new ones because we finally found a new programmer after our first one left the team earlier this year. We know our presence here on Steam wasnt very active. But believe us, it's hard to make a game with no budget. Imagine managing the community as well =) Anyway, we're so excited to share this new patch with you, and we can't wait to hear your opinion; so please write a comment below if you have anything to say (even bug reports or personal opinions).

And now let's go into our improvements:

Graphical Improvements:

- Added small paths in the forest to provide more guided traversal

- Improved rendering performance across the board

- Improved overall lighting

- Added new toilet building

- Improved visibility slightly (still not too much because the flashlight should still be useful)

- Improved shadow behaviour in many cases (we still have some problems that seem to be on the engine side)

- Added world-building objects that also help with puzzles

- Added collectible statues based on real-world counterparts

- Improved animation behaviour

- Added more environment assets

- Replaced a lot of materials from the first "placeholder" iterations

- Improved landscape material blending

- Replaced the monster mask to be more in line with the originals

- Reworked street area

- Improved overall UI

- Changed color and assets of grasses to better reflect Sardinia in the summer

Gameplay Programming:

- Added new checkpoints and improved stability of save system

- Improved smoothness of Gameplay and Controls

- Reduced technical debt: optimized and generalized Blueprints for better maintainability and scalability

- Improved crouch behavior, made it more smoother and more responsive

- Added new flashlight shake mechanic to emergency recharge

- Fixed numerous bugs and improved overall stability

AI & Gameplay Improvements:

- Enhanced Teleport Logic: The AI now anticipates the players movement, increasing challenge and tension

- Improved Perception: The monster now reacts differently depending on player states such as crouching, walking, or running with the flashlight on

- Enhanced Monster Spawning: Monsters now spawn in bushes more visibly, and their spawn sounds have been improved for clearer audio feedback

- Reduced Door Clipping: The monster now clips through doors less often, reducing immersion-breaking moments

- Enhanced Monster Animations: Added new monster animations to increase tension and immersion

- Improved Monster Perception

- Enhanced Monster Spawning & Audio

- Reduced Monster Door Clipping

- Enhanced MonsterAnimations

Hey everyone! Things are moving full speed over here, and were super excited to share that well be attending First Playable 2025, a key event for indie developers in Italy.

To celebrate, heres a beautiful photo we took just a few days ago: it shows a sneak peek of our Collectors Edition, alongside something very special, the official Filonzana mask. Well tell you more about it in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! ;)

Hi everyone!

We know its been a while since our last update, and we really wanted to break the silence to let you know that IDILI is more alive than ever. Weve been super active behind the scenes, working hard to bring you a horror experience thats even more refined, immersive, and atmospheric.

This means were constantly juggling between work, personal life, and development, doing our best on all fronts. Its not easy, but our passion for this project and your ongoing support keep us going every single day.

In the coming weeks, well be sharing lots of exciting news: dev updates, exclusive content, new visuals, and behind the scenes insights on how were building this dark and mysterious world inspired by our homeland.
