Outliver: Tribulation
"Invert Y Axis" Update!
Outliver: Tribulation | Dev update 18 | 10 New Languages Added!
Hi everyone and welcome to this short dev update on Outliver: Tribulation, an atmospheric, story-driven, action-adventure third-person shooter that blends gameplay elements and combat styles from the Survival-Horror and Souls-like genres with African mythology where you play as the soldier who mysteriously ends up in a supernatural realm, of which her only way out is to partake in an ancient ritual....
In this update, we focused primarily on adding support for multiple languages to make the game more accessible to a wider audience as some gamers have suggested. After much deliberation, we decided to add up to 10 languages and we are pleased to announce that Outliver: Tribulation now officially supports French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese Brazil, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish.
We also added a quality of life/convenience feature that makes it easy for new gamers especially those struggling with the English language to avoid the trouble of having to painstakingly navigate around menus to select their preferred language. We call it the "First Launch Language Setup Prompt", and as the name implies, when the game is launched for the first time, this window pops up to allow the gamer to select a preferred language before the main menu is revealed.
As always, we will continue to support Outliver: Tribulation and keep you all updated as we progress. So, if you haven't already, make sure to join our Discord server using the provided link. We’d love to have you there and hear your opinions and feedback. Head over to Steam now to get your copy of Outliver: Tribulation. I would also like to thank everyone who has supported us so far by getting a copy of the game. Please don't forget to leave us a review, as it would greatly help with visibility.
Thank you for your time and hope to see you in the next one.
Happy gaming.

Outliver: Tribulation | Dev update 17 | Achievement, Performance & Visual Update
In this update, we share with you the latest changes and additions we have made to the game based on our roadmap and recommendations from players. First of all, we updated the game from Unreal Engine 5.1 to 5.3 to take advantage of the awesome improvements the Epic Games team has made to the engine, especially in the performance department.
We also updated the visuals of the game by boosting the light exposures making the scenes generally brighter as well as adding more detail in general to the maps and most notably, overhauling the visuals of the Guardians Arena map, taking it from a plain and barren old look to a now more detailed and interesting look.
Based on a player's feedback, we worked on fixing some achievement bugs where achievements completed while playing offline don't update when you come online. Completed achievements are now saved and refreshed at regular intervals to update when next you play the game online. Also based on another player's very recent suggestion, we have added a new achievement to the game called "The Outliver" which unlocks after you have completed every other achievement in the game.
Lastly, Outliver: Tribulation is currently on sale on Steam at a %60 discount! so make sure to get your copy now if you haven't already. I would also like to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you to everyone who has bought the game, your support will go a long way in helping us as a studio, all we need from you all now is to kindly leave us a review as this will help a lot with visibility.

Outliver: Tribulation | Dev update #16 | New Features!
Fresh off the heels of our last "Warchief" Update where we added two difficulty modes, a new achievement, a refreshed UI and more gameplay balance tweaks!
We continued on with our commitment to supporting Outliver: Tribulation, and as a result, we have just released our newest update where we polished and improved the game by adding some much needed and requested features, all of which we will go through in today's update.
Firstly, based on user request and also in keeping up with modern convention, we have added a "Toggle" option for running, which is now the game's default option. You can also switch back to the older "press and hold" option to run in the settings menu for those who prefer that option.
We have also seen situations where players don't immediately know where to go or what their actions have just accomplished. In this update, your player's camera now smoothly pans towards important locations or doors you have just unlocked as a result of solving riddles or completing quests among others.
Lastly, along with various bug fixes and additional balance tweaks, we also reduced the feeling of jerkiness by smoothing out the blending between various camera states and character movement animations, especially when you abruptly stop moving while running.
As always, we will continue to support Outliver: Tribulation and keep you updated as we go on, so make sure to get your copy now if you haven't already and don't forget to join our discord server, where we continue to keep the conversation on Outliver: Tribulation going.

Outliver: Tribulation | Dev update #15 | The War Chief Update!
It’s been one month since the launch of Outliver: Tribulation and we have been hard at work listening to and acting on feedback from the community. As a result, we are pleased to announce the release of the War Chief update based on user requests, where we split the game into two difficulty modes: the easy mode and the hard mode.
- The easy mode is the current mode in the game where we’ve further reduced the difficulty to make the game more accessible. Enemies now have lower health and deal lesser damage to players. We also increased the interval between the wanderer's attack waves so players have more time to explore and solve riddles thereby making the gameplay much easier to get through.
- The hard mode on the other hand is the new gameplay mode where things will be more challenging. Enemies in the hard mode have higher health and deal more damage to the players among other little tweaks which make the game more challenging.
- In order to encourage players to try out and beat the game in the new hard mode difficulty, we have added a new "War Chief" achievement to the game to go along with the update.
- We’ve also simplified the riddles by making the clues and instructions clearer and much easier to understand along with adjusting the damage you take from failing a riddle to be lower when playing in easy mode and higher when playing in hard mode.
- Lastly, we tweaked the UI of the game to make it more appealing and fixed the sound inconsistency issue some players complained about.
We hope this update makes the game a lot more fun to play. If you’ve already purchased the game, we say a big thank you to you for your support and can't wait to see your reviews and thumbs up on steam. And if you’re still undecided on getting the game, we hope this update encourages you to give it a try.
