Why the silence?

Over the past year we decided to put a halt on our PR activities due to unforeseen technical difficulties wed faced. Until the problem was fixed we decided the best course of action would be to remain silent in order to avoid giving the community a false hope for a release. During that time weve received several messages from fans with raising concerns about the projects status. Weve felt frustrated and angry at ourselves, but at the same time we knew we were on the right track so we kept working in the shadows.

The good news

The time has finally come to tell you the good news - we can confirm that the playable demo of Saint Kotar, titled The Yellow Mask, is well on its way and the development is coming to a conclusion. We updated the whole Steam page and edited the description (all of them: ENG, GER, RUS and ITA), published a new set of screenshots (take a look in the gallery) and added a brand new trailer (seen below as well as in the gallery) to show you the progress and give you a glimpse into this mysterious world. We still dont have a release date, as we want to be sure everythings in its place before announcing it, but that day is fast approaching! [previewyoutube=7ZkdWsanZh4;full][/previewyoutube]

Up to an hour and a half of playtime

To remind you, the release of the demo will coincide with the launch of the Kickstarter campaign. The Yellow Mask covers just the beginning of the whole story, and to be able to let you play the rest well need additional funds. Its important to note that the demo will have an hour to an hour and a half of playtime, with a branching story where your actions and words are fateful and affect two plotlines. Were more than confident when we say that the long wait will be worth.

Another good news

We have also undergone a rebranding process, changing our studio name from Tanais Games to Red Martyr Entertainment. The decision to rebrand wasnt an easy one but we felt it was needed and the right time to do it is now. It flourished from a desire to turn the page and start fresh, leaving behind our past mistakes while nourishing the knowledge and experience we gained by doing them. We explained everything in a detailed news post on our new eye-catching website: What happened to us? From now on we will be posting regular updates and news here on Steam, on our website, as well as on all our social media outlets. Were back, were here and were not going away anymore. The demo is coming and going stronger than ever before!
