Dear Players!
On the occasion of the upcoming Easter Holiday, we wholeheartedly wish you all the best! May this joyful time bring you much warmth, optimism, and prosperity!
The spring holidays have their roots in the ancient Slavic festival - Revival Festival (Jare Gody). These ancient celebrations of nature awakening to life, full of joy and hope for a bountiful harvest, gave rise to the holidays we know today. We hope you experience the atmosphere of Revival Festival (Jare Gody) by participating in events and observing traditions in the open, mysterious world of The End of The Sun.
One of the characteristic customs of the Revival Festival, which you may have observed in the game, is the creation of "Hand-scratched eggs." These beautifully decorated eggs, created by scratching patterns on a dyed shell, symbolise new life and the spring awakening. This is just one of the many fascinating elements of Slavic culture that we strive to bring closer to you during the game.
Hand-scratched eggs (In Polish "Skrobanki") are humorously described in the game by the Asther (the character you embody in The End of the Sun):
[quote]Beautifully decorated eggs. Boiled in onion peels to give them a dark brown colour. They say that hand-scratched eggs gifted during the Revival festival will ensure a household's fertility... unless gifted by a malicious neighbour, in which case they'll only bring the stench of rot to the cottage.[/quote]

We are happy to join this amazing celebration!

LINK TO FESTIVAL

Great news!
The festival will also be promoted on the Steam main page on March 3-5.
Soon we will share another update for you, in which we will introduce you to Kinga, who co-created The End of the Sun. Stay tuned! :)
Meanwhile, meet Anianiania, who prepared something special for the Women's Day. She recorded a stream from The End of the Sun, which is featured on the top of the store main game page.
Anianiania is a Polish streamer who, as she describes herself, after 10 years returned to video games, and now she likes to slowly play through older game titles, but also premiere novelties. She also prepares creative items for her viewers, like burned wood and paintings, glycerin soaps and soy candles. Once a week, you can see her at her humorous kitchen streams and sometimes at IRLs in travels.
Privately, she loves Slavic climates, and in the past, she was also in a knight's brotherhood as an archer. Be careful when watching her streams, because her smile is contagious! :)

Hello Players!
First of all Thanks that You Wish-listed Our Game :) Wishlists are very important nowadays for indie games like ours so Please encourage Your friends to add The End of The Sun to Wish-list!
Almost 7 Thousand players Wish-listed The End of The Sun already! :)
Last Weeks We are working hard not only on Creating New Characters but also on improving existing ones. We polished Nadimir's Face, changed topology, added skin details, facial hair, fixed clothes bugs and many other tiny elements that Gives overall better look :)
We also implemented movement of eye Lid that follow eyes of Characters now. Big Thanks to Rogo Digital (Creators of LipSynch System that We are using To handle our characters lips synchronization and facial emotions and now also Eye Lid control) for help in implementing that element. Yes We know it seems strange that We focus on such a small details now but It gave much more natural look to game Characters. The End of The Sun is story based game so high quality Characters are important for us. You could judge results on gif below :)
Some of You noticed that facial expression of characters can be improved so We implemented Eye Lid movement of Characters. On that Gif You could notice that now If character is looking down or up, Eyes lids are rotating according to eyes what makes much more natural look.
Today We fully finished last character 3d Model (Nadimir's Father). We are going to Share Screenshots of that character in the future. We just would like to give some promotional aspect to that new Character. This is Why We won't share It With standard update. We probably share it together with next "Gamedev Diary" Or new Teaser.
But ... We could share something related to that new one character - part of his clothes that We already created :)
Part of clothes that belongs to new not announced yet Character (Nadimir's Father)
(Remember That characters in The End of The Sun have 3-4 version of itself - young - middle age - old) This is why creating One Character could take us even 1 month or more! :) But good news are that We just Finished almost all characters planned in game scenario (Ok ok.. We just need to create "Nadimir" child version and textures to some fantasy creatures (not exactly human characters) :) ) So We are really close to finish work on game heros and focus only on development of cutscenes and gameplay elements :)
In The Same time We are working on making some elements of game world that We are unable to scan by photogrammetry cause it just don't exist in real World, like statues, items and fantasy elements of the world :)
Work In Progress - Small Statue of Weles - god of underworld
Sorry We can't show more for now but many elements of the game is not something That could be simple shown(example improving save system, optimizations, gameplay mechanics) also We don't Want To Reveal story spoilers. When some new location or game play mechanics will be Fully ready We will then prepare some bigger update and blog post To Inform You About it :) (trust us We have to share things very carefully to don't make spoilers, sometimes sharing even one item could reveal too much from the core of game story )

Let us know what do you think about new screenshots
Hi Folks! :)
As you know in our game we are using photogrammetry for most of our in-game 3d graphics. Photogrammetry is a technique of scanning real objects and changing them into 3d models.
There is one big problem with photogrammetry - We can't scan something that don't exist in real world :)
So what can we do in that situation? We could make elements that don't exist by preparing it in 3d software or... We could create it in real world and then scan it! :)
Figurine was handmade specially for our game by amazing sculptor Bartosz Machura.
Hello Folks! NEW teaser of The End of the Sun is here! It announces the Kickstarter campaign of our game.
