Happy New Year everyone! We're pretty excited about 2016, as we're going to finally finish this project (we _hope_). Given all the usual stuff about new starts at new years, we have an announcement: The game is no longer called Proof, we grew very fond of the name but it's always been a placeholder (it's short for Proof of Concept). It's also never really aligned with the theme of game. So, as you can see from the thread title, the game is now known as "The Thin Silence". We're not going to explain that at all.  But enjoy the pretty picture. |

Nightamerica was on mobile, right? Is The Thin Silence also coming to mobile?

Yeah, Nightmerica was on iOS, but we're moving away from that now, back to our roots on PC. It is a pain to make games for iOS. The Thin Silence will be released on Windows/Mac/Linux. |

We've been doing some tweaks mostly this week, and I moved cities, so by "we", I mean Ben. We've also got some improved artwork coming out: And the boulder-on-a-wire gameplay elements actually have a wire now, not just a floating boulder: ... That one is a bit less exciting, but definitely essential. More soon!  |

Quick update to show off the almost complete computer system: Here you can see me "hack" in by guessing the password, and browsing some emails. The computer system has actually grown from a very simple interface to something fairly substantial throughout development. Most of the other work either isn't quite ready to show off, or is just code based at the moment! Speaking of which, we've crossed 30000 lines of game code (not including engine and framework logic). This is a very large codebase to be responsible for now, and boy do I wish I knew more about what I was doing when I first started. |

New mechanics for the game: wind. This will feature a lot more in the later game. I think its beautiful. Take One With Randomness The next step is to work out a global "gust position", so the wind progresses across the screen. As usual, click any of the images for better resolutions (they look a LOT better), and let us know what you think! |

Working on the cliff area graphics lately (lots of little changes, coming up to big news soon...) You can see the difference here from where we were with this 9 months ago. Before After And we're not done yet! This has only been the first step in the process - nailing the art direction. We've still got to fill this area with assets that fit with this style. As usual, click any of the images for better resolutions, and let us know what you think! |

Its Screenshot Saturday! (gifs count right?) (As usual, click to view in HD on Gfycat) We've got a lot of little fixes done this week, and some nifty little things like birds etc. Most notably, @vivavolt has redone the assets pipeline to be much faster, and doubled the FPS in the cutscene with sorcery.     I'll ask him to do a technical writeup at some stage. In the meantime, look forward to animated NPCs in the near future! |

Hey! We've been very busy, working on a lot of new art assets! We've also done some more subtle changes to the snow effects: More soon! |

Hey everyone! New art coming your way. This is the progression of a building for the wooded area for the game, just to spice it up a bit. Click any photo to see the album and better resolutions: We're changing the orange, and tidying up a little bit, but otherwise, not bad for a half-hour's work! Its almost impossible to tell how colours are going to look after the filter and lighting in game, so it's easier to work with colours you've used before to work out the shading in general, and then adjust these based on the in-game result. We'll have the final version, and more coming soon! |

And that's the finished product! We're doing a lot of similar asset creation at the moment, which is rewarding in its own way, but we're going to be very glad to get back to the heart of the game when we starting putting the finals levels together... More soon! |

The wind is a really nice touch! I'm honestly in love with the computer screens and the text + layout + design. Your game is really beautiful.
