Last but not least, here's a little something you could do to warm our hearts, as well: PlayStation.Blog has just opened the poll for their Game of the Year awards and FAR is amongst the nominees for "Best Art Direction" and "Best Independent Game". If you could spare a minute and vote for us, that would mean a lot to us (and would definitely spark joy)!
Team FAR: Lone Sails
Get 10% off Interrogation - Mixtvision's latest game - until Dec 19th!
Hello Travellers!
Today, exciting news from a far away land reach us: Interrogation: You will be deceived from developer Critique Gaming is now available on PC, Mac and Linux.
In this latest game from FAR’s publisher Mixtvision, you must step into the gumshoes of a detective leading a squad that’s been tasked with thwarting the plans of a shadowy and powerful terrorist group known as the Liberation Front. With the clock ticking you’ll need to use the game’s realistic conversational system to interrogate and emotionally manipulate suspects, unmask the perpetrators and avert disaster.

To thank all of you for supporting us, we want to give you a little gift: all owners of FAR get 10% off for Interrogation until December 19th! Grab it while it’s hot. ;)
Psychologically manipulate suspects to prevent the Liberation Front’s next attack
Manage a team, resources and uphold the police force’s reputation
Gritty, visually striking noir art-style based on thousands of photos from real actors
Play your own style with branching paths leading to multiple endings
macOS: code-signed and notarized app for macOS Catalina.
Fixed several issues where the character could get stuck or fall through geometry within obstacles or in the vehicle.
Fixed issue where the ground / terrain of the next chapter won’t load.
Fixed several localization issues.
Fixed a bug where the background started to flicker once the player opened the menu during the gameplay.
Fixed bugs with the save game selection in the menu.
Fixed clunky behavior of the vehicle hooks.
Fixed interpolation of the visuals with enabled vsync options.
Performance optimization: this version includes all the improvements we made for PS4, XB1 and Switch. Since the consoles use multi-core GPUs this still doesn’t mean that the game will run much better on an integrated low-end GPU. For mid-range GPUs we should have an increase of 20-30% of the framerate. The game should also have less hiccups since we could move some operations to the background thread and to the GPU.

Awards Season is upon us!
Hey everyone,
first of all, a big Thank You to everyone who voted for us in the Golden Joystick Awards! Unfortunately, we didn't manage to beat God of War, but I'm sure it was a close race... :P
But, as you may have noticed, a new opportunity to collect some bling has arrived: Voting for the Steam Awards is live!
While we probably don't stand much of a chance against the bigger, more popular games, we'd sure like to take a shot at it again. Especially, with some of the awards fitting so well with what we've tried to achieve in FAR, like the "Best Environment" Award and the "Most Fun with a Machine" Award.
So, if you feel like the game deserves it, hop over to the voting page and nominate us!
In other news, FAR is nominated for five awards at the German Developer Awards, which is held in Cologne on Dec 5th. Ho Lee Fuk... :D
You can find more infos on that here (German source, sorry!): http://deutscherentwicklerpreis.de/
And lastly, thank you all so much for your kind words in the reviews! FAR went up to an Overwhelmingly Positive response by you lovely people for the last 30 days. That is just incredible!
Thank youuu and a happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!
