addedWhy such an error, you ask? We set a game discount which was mis-applied to all games released by Cimugames, leading to a discount of "Unformed" and our other acclaimed game "Runestone Keeper” at 72% off the total price. Although such a big discount on "Unformed", which has only been in the EA stage for two months, was completely out of our plan, we finally decided not to revoke our summer sales promotion. We hope that players who have added the game to their wish list will still purchase the EA version to support our development. Of course, we invite everyone to take a look at our previous Roguelike game, "Runestone Keeper ", which is also currently undergoing a big sale. https://store.steampowered.com/app/339400/Runestone_Keeper/
addedDuring our two months of silence, we’ve been working extensively and intensively to create new levels and optimize game sound effects and the feeling of impact when fighting. We have originally produced an interesting development log to illustrate all this, but since the multilingual version has not been completed, we have to disclose some in this announcement in advance.
changedThis is a panoramic view of the level we are making. Maybe there will be some changes before the official launch, but the framework of the entire level is generally like this. The codename of this level is "Forgotten Palace", which is the most complicated level in the game so far, and it is also the climax of the story. We have completed the construction of this level and the design of the corresponding monsters, but we still need time to optimize the details. At the same time, we are optimizing the impact feeling when fighting, battle sequences and sound effects of the game, so that players can get a better game experience. However, we have encountered a great deal of trouble in terms of sound effects, which is one of the reasons that we have been unable to release the update. As for the impact feeling, we have completed the modification. If we can't solve the sound effect problem quickly, we may consider putting some of the updates we have done into a test branch to show the player in advance.
addedWe released the EA version of “Unformed" two months ago in order to hear and take to heart the opinions of players during the development and get a part of the income to maintain the studio's expenditure. However, due to the unsatisfactory sales of the EA version, Bones Studio's funds have been seriously insufficient. Although this does not stagger our resolve to continue the game, our members have had to leave us to find new jobs because of financial problems. The studio inevitably fell into a state of slow development. We are now working hard to solve the funding problem and looking for new partners. If you are interested in game development, we welcome everyone to participate in our production in various ways.
addedThat's all for this announcement. We will send out the completed multi-language version of development log in the next announcement, then you will know more about our new level.

Dear players who want to enrich their game library during the summer sale, we are Bones Studio, the production team behind the game ”Unformed". It’s that time the annual Steam summer sale. Due to a mistake we made while operating on Steam’s backend, "Unformed" unexpectedly joined the discount game army and went on sale at a discount of 72% off.

Why such an error, you ask? We set a game discount which was mis-applied to all games released by Cimugames, leading to a discount of "Unformed" and our other acclaimed game "Runestone Keeper” at 72% off the total price. Although such a big discount on "Unformed", which has only been in the EA stage for two months, was completely out of our plan, we finally decided not to revoke our summer sales promotion.

Of course, we invite everyone to take a look at our previous Roguelike game, "Runestone Keeper ", which is also currently undergoing a big sale. https://store.steampowered.com/app/339400/Runestone_Keeper/

Next, we will share some of our work progress and the current status of the studio.

During our two months of silence, we’ve been working extensively and intensively to create new levels and optimize game sound effects and the feeling of impact when fighting. We have originally produced an interesting development log to illustrate all this, but since the multilingual version has not been completed, we have to disclose some in this announcement in advance.

This is a panoramic view of the level we are making. Maybe there will be some changes before the official launch, but the framework of the entire level is generally like this. The codename of this level is "Forgotten Palace", which is the most complicated level in the game so far, and it is also the climax of the story. We have completed the construction of this level and the design of the corresponding monsters, but we still need time to optimize the details. At the same time, we are optimizing the impact feeling when fighting, battle sequences and sound effects of the game, so that players can get a better game experience.

As for the impact feeling, we have completed the modification. If we can't solve the sound effect problem quickly, we may consider putting some of the updates we have done into a test branch to show the player in advance.

Finally, we regret to announce something without cause for cheer.

We released the EA version of “Unformed" two months ago in order to hear and take to heart the opinions of players during the development and get a part of the income to maintain the studio's expenditure. However, due to the unsatisfactory sales of the EA version, Bones Studio's funds have been seriously insufficient. Although this does not stagger our resolve to continue the game, our members have had to leave us to find new jobs because of financial problems. The studio inevitably fell into a state of slow development. We are now working hard to solve the funding problem and looking for new partners. If you are interested in game development, we welcome everyone to participate in our production in various ways.

That's all for this announcement. We will send out the completed multi-language version of development log in the next announcement, then you will know more about our new level.
