Update #9 (continuing from the greenlight page)Hey folks,
This update is a continuation of the ones we did on our greenlight page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/updates/427548124
You can also sign up on our mailing list to receive them via mail.

We've started beta testing chapter 1. You can still sign up for the beta on our forums. If you would like to help us out in improving the game before release, your support would be greatly appreciated.

Together with the Beta, we also launched our own forum. We're still experimenting with what works best for our growing community. If you have the time, filling in a short survey could help us with that.
~*~*~Current System Specs~*~*~
One of the main tasks which lies ahead of us is improving the game's performance whichever way we can. Currently, when you play the beta, you can get a stable ~30fps on the highest settings and 1080p with graphics cards ranging around the 100 dollar price tag. The laptop from which I'm typing this update can do this and has a gtx 765m.
As things stand now, if you run the game from your integrated graphics card, like the Intel HD Graphics 4600 found in my laptop, you will only reach ~30fps if you play the game in 720p on the lowest settings.
~*~*~Shout-out~*~*~
Through the Woods is a narrative-focused horror game made by our Norwegian friends at Antagonist Games. They also ran a kickstarter around the same time we did. It's awesome to see how far they've come since then. It's available now, on steam!

[ 2016-10-28 13:49:10 CET ] [ Original post ] Herald is a choice-driven adventure game set during an alternate 19th century in which the West is united as a colonial superpower: the Protectorate.
Help tell the story of Devan Rensburg, a man of mixed heritage who became steward on board of the HLV Herald, a merchant ship set for his country of birth.
As Devan it is your job to keep the peace among the crew and passengers by resolving their daily squabbles. Set during a time of widespread inequality and injustice, you are challenged to uncover a great mystery that surrounds the Herald's perilous voyage.
Herald is the first part in a series of games, and scheduled to release Q1 2017. Part 2 is already in pre-production and is scheduled to release at a later date.
Key Features
- A branching narrative that changes depending on how you decide to play. Do you choose to be bold and stand up for the downtrodden, or would pleasing the elite be the safer and smarter choice?
- Uncover all of the secrets aboard the merchant clipper Herald, as you explore its many nooks and crannies.
- The Herald is a microcosm of 19th century society. The crew and passengers all have their own dark secrets and often use sly coercion to convince Devan to help them. But who can you trust?
- Herald's diverse cast of characters is brought to life by beautifully animated portraits, and the performances of thirteen talented voice actors.
- Herald is set during an alternate 1857 in which the West has been united as a single global superpower: the Protectorate. Governed not by kings but by an elected 'Lord Protector’, the Protectorians believe they are morally superior. But are they?
- A gripping tale about finding your place in a world divided by race, class and culture.
