Klabater, a developer of Crossroads Inn, and Juggler Games - studio behind My Memory of Us, have announced their new collaborative production - The Amazing American Circus. The game is set to be released on PC and consoles in 2021. Watch the announcement teaser trailer: https://youtu.be/JYf6bnOrLI8 Check Steam Card: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433860/The_Amazing_American_Circus/ The Amazing American Circus is a unique blend of a card game, tycoon, and an adventure game. Build a wandering circus, collect a strong deck of cards, gather a fantastic troupe of artists and performers, and travel across the 19th century United States! Dare to challenge the legendary P.T. Barnum and make your enterprise the most incredible show of America! "At Klabater, we are fascinated by history. We develop and publish narrative-driven games that depict vital and thought-provoking moments in life. We are currently focusing on the turbulent times of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Amazing American Circus marks a bold third chapter in our ambitious project of games that combine captivating narratives from that era with eye-catching art and compelling gameplay. The best-selling games We. The Revolution and Help Will Come Tomorrow were the first two chapters." - Said Michal Gembicki, CEO at Klabater.
The Amazing American Circus tells the story of the most iconic entertainment in American history. The USA, during the Gilded Age, is a turbulent place with serious social problems and rapid economic growth with railroads and industrialization leading the way. On the East Coast, a modern metropolis springs up, while in the west, cowboys and robber barons and farmers battle for a piece of the new American dream A new era is coming, and it may be the right moment for a traveling circus to flourish. The Amazing American Circus blends our unique artistic vision with meticulous gameplay design. said Lukasz Janczuk from Juggler Games. My Memory of Us was an important story of two kids escaping an oppressive system through varied logical puzzles. With The Amazing American Circus we want to offer an exotic world of pioneer entertainers, alongside a challenging card game and enjoyable management system.
You take the role of an impoverished owner of a traveling Circus. Through your personal and multithreaded story, The Amazing American Circus reveals mysteries behind a uniquely American form of entertainment. Deliver a perfect show in a special card duel between you and the audience. Boredom is your enemy, and your performances and tricks are your best weapons. Choose your cards wisely and try to figure out the mood of the crowd. As a traveling Circus owner, you need to look for new troupe members. During your travels, you will try to gather an exotic crew of performers, but can you deliver the best shows, win the audiences approval, or will you fail? A unique story filled with love affairs, hateful enemies, and magnificent shows with challenging audiences and quests, all of this wrapped up in a writing style that resembles the dime novels from the turn of the 20th century - that's what The Amazing American Circus offers. What The Amazing American Circus has to offer?

• Save a run-down circus, gather a troupe of performers, and dare to defy the greatest showman on earth - P.T Barnum himself.
• Enjoy an original and challenging card game. You will battle against your greatest enemies, audience boredom, and stagnation.
• Gather a group of extraordinary artists and twisted individuals, each with their own story to tell, and journey across the 19th century United States.
• Indulge in a story set in the turbulent times of the Industrial Revolution and the dusk of the Wild West era, and dive into the beautiful and grim world of the American folklore
• 100+ real historical and legendary characters from the verge of the 19th and 20th century to encounter, such as John D. Rockefeller, Susan B. Anthony, or Nikola Tesla.
• Experience an epic soundtrack inspired by classical circus music

The Amazing American Circus will be released in 2021.

We had time to significantly improve and expand the main concept; only the haunted building was left from the original game. The scale and the scope of this new adventure are incomparably greater, both in terms of gameplay solutions and due to the transition to extensive 3D locations that can be freely explored. It's a big game, full of surprises and plot-twists. I hope both fans of the original game and new players will like it."

It’s been a while but here we are with a ton of new stuff - new and totally free content, new languages and fixes. Let’s get to it!

The biggest addition this time is more game. “Roboto Factory” is a free DLC that lets you get inside the famous Roboto Factory, where all the bots you've met on Speculo were created. You will discover its workings and see your old mechanical companions in a new light.

We’ve also added the support for both simplified and traditional Chinese - now not only you can enjoy the game with Chinese subtitles but also with Chinese text within the game world!

Additionally we’ve implemented some new fixes:

• We’ve moved onto a newer version of the Unreal Engine. Thanks to that we’ve been able to further optimize the game and improve its performance in some locations;
• With the new renderer the depth of field has been improved;
• Buggy handles better and has improved physics;
• Fixed the achievement “Get 6600 units of graphene” - now it should unlock properly;
• Fixed the occasional issue with incorrect display of subtitles;
• Added the option to turn off the vibration on gamepads;
• The puzzle with guiding a robot at the beginning of the base game has been improved to deliver maximum satisfaction;
• Added the option to reset your save files, so you can restart the level you’re currently in. In the main menu just press LCTRL+LSHIFT+F5 and listen for a sound indicating that the reset is done.

Enjoy!

• Added a teleport system to the game. It’s entirely optional and you can find it, unsurprisingly, in the options menu. It’s the point-to-click sort where you freely choose the location you want to go (instead of moving to a predetermined zone). It works with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive;
• Fixed the OSVR support for the newest HMD, just choose one of the HDK2 compatibility modes while starting the application. There’s one caveat though - HMD scaling (supersampling) is currently unavailable on OSVR;
• Broader support for unsupported devices. Now the game launcher will be giving you six choices instead of the usual three. If you happen to have an HMD that is not of the Oculus-Vive-OSVR variety, you can now choose one of the new compatibility modes and (fingers crossed) everything will be working. No guarantees but we believe in many cases that should do the trick;
• Fixed the issues with game saves. We’ve tested it extensively to find the cause of the problem and the saves you’ve provided were of huge help to us. Now both saving and loading works as intended;
• Changed the locations of several checkpoints, so no Alice will be trapped in a no-win scenario ever again;
• Snap turning on HTC Vive will no longer cause you to move backwards, so now everyone can follow Pop’s mantra: “Never backwards, always forward”;
• Fixed all discovered causes of players getting out of bounds, because in the game of croquet everyone needs to stay in the play area;
• Now on HTC Vive you can use both motion controllers and a gamepad, so even if your HTC Vive is the off-brand type, you can still play Alice VR;
• The camera position on HTC Vive has been brought in line with its position on Oculus Rift. Yeah, it’s a weird thing to mention in patch notes, I know;
• Fixed achievements (On Foot, Grown a Conscience, Greedy, Carbon Footprint, Mommy?). Now the system works faster, is shinier, and in case it bugged out on you the first time, you’ll be able to get the missing achievements on your second go-round;
• Fixed collision issues, especially on ramps. Ramps are tricky;
• Enhanced lighting effects in the City.

Thank you for playing Alice VR!

Phew, it took longer than we thought but were finally here! Another patch comes, as promised, and it should fix many of the issues you guys were having recently.

And here we are, 12 busy days after the launch and spirits are high. We’ve hit some snags but we’re still working on the game, tweaking its performance and implementing changes requested by you. We are grateful for all of your feedback, both the good and the bad - we learn from it and it helps us make Alice VR a better game for everyone. At the moment we’re working on adding full teleport movement support for the game and we’ll be improving the performance of Alice on Radeon graphics cards (of course this is not the end of the planned tweaks). This patch should drop after the upcoming weekend but for now we have some glitch fixes for you. Those were included in the big GOG update that brought its version in line with what’s available on Steam. However for GOG we’ve added some new fixes on top of the old fixes, and now we have to bring the Steam version in line with the GOG version. Oh, how the tables have turned.

What’s new:

• Fixed the occasional bug when exiting the buggy could place you under the ground (but only waist down - we’re not monsters, we would never try to bury you alive, intentionally or otherwise);
• Fixed the issue with strafing in HMD;
• Fixed the occasional issue during the hallucination right after the Greenhouse level;
• Fixed the occasional issue with saving the game on the desert (right after the planetarium);
• Fixed the issue in the planetarium puzzle, which allowed gamers to acquire infinite amount of graphene. That was madness, Hatter’s levels of it;
• Sound tweaks in the first City level;
• Sound tweaks in the second City level;;
• Fixed the issue in the Greenhouse which kept the door open all the time. That wasn’t right, the Greenhouse closes at 6pm;
• Gameplay tweaks during the hallucination on the desert.

Thank you for playing Alice VR!

As promised, we’ve just uploaded our second patch. It contains some fixes in the graphics department as well as a bunch of additional tweaks.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

thanks to your feedback on the forums, we’ve found out why some of you were seeing subpar, blurry graphics. It turned out that we've had a problem with GeForce 1000 series cards. We tried to solve this problem in this patch and we are in contact with the people from Nvidia. In any case the right fix shouldn’t be too long. Huge shout-out to Wrath of God, Kris.vdv, sergo1000, and BaineTR for taking the time to help us find the root of the problem! Thanks guys! And now, the patch notes...

Graphics:

• All graphical settings should now work properly;
• Due to popular demand the maximum HMD scaling (supersampling) has now been increased from 1.50x to 3.00x. Go nuts, just be careful and don’t burn your rig down, ok?

Other:

• Fixed an issue causing some voices to not play correctly;
• Now pausing the game during voice playback works as intended;
• Tweaked how the game is being saved;
• Your audio settings will now be saved properly;
• Fixed the occasional issue with computer screens in the first level of the game;
• Fixed the collision issues in the City level;

Thank you for being here with us! We read the forums daily and we appreciate your feedback. --Alice VR Team

Our first patch is here! First of all, thank you for supporting us and staying with us through this rocky start. Although things weren’t all smooth from the get go, this first update should put us on the right track. We truly appreciate your feedback, so please keep it up! Now, let’s see what’s changed...

The BIG stuff:

• added the requested option to change the HMD scaling (supersampling) on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Now you have the choice between 0.80x, 1.00x and 1.50x;
• graphics settings are now being saved properly, yay!
• the same goes for your language settings - on occasion they could default to your Steam language. No more.

The less big stuff:

• screen mirroring on HTC Vive should now work properly;
• some on-screen text and controller description fixes;
• fixed an issue during the encounter with the Hatter;
• Polish audio is no longer being selected automatically;
• tutorial messages are now turned on by default.

The new stuff:

• if you’re playing Alice in VR, as you should, you now have the option to turn off strafing and backwards movement (toggled in the options menu). All in the interest of your comfort and well-being;
• added the option to make 90 degrees turns on gamepads and HTC Vive controllers, because everyone should be able to play how they want to.

Thank you all for your patience and let us know what you think! Enjoy Alice VR!

Hi, today we want to give you some cool music from Alice VR to listen to!
In every game music is responsible for creating the atmosphere, but it’s in VR games where it becomes one of the most important elements. When you put on your goggles and headphones, you dive into a new, virtual world where every sound you hear is part of your new reality. We’re really proud of the music in Alice VR, so please enjoy this small offering of 3 atmospheric, electronic tracks. The whole soundtrack was composed by François Jolin of Eon Sounds, the man behind the music in all our trailers. If you’ve watched them, you know you can expect the best;) TAKE A LISTEN HERE Don’t forget that with Alice VR you’ll also get the full soundtrack (in mp3 and FLAC formats), an artbook with concept graphics, rough sketches and developer notes, and an assortment of other goodies.

So, how do you find our music? Do you feel the atmosphere of encroaching madness, thickening mystery and spaaace?

Whoa, we've just finished implementing all of the voices for the game! As you probably know, Alice VR is a story-driven experience, so choosing the right voice actor for every character wasn't easy. Especially because there are no typical characters in Alice VR. The game's world is inspired by "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" so everyone there is... a little peculiar. And so we are very proud to announce that over 20 characters were recorded by Sound Cadence Studios, and the AI, which will lead you from the game, is played by Julie Shields and was recorded by the wonderful guys at Eon Sounds. Also, if you're not a native English speaker, please remember that Russian, German, French, Spanish and Polish subtitles (and Polish voices!) will also be available in game! If you want to hear the new voices (and some of the music...) be patient. Soon...
