We would like to thank you for your comments under the last post and for your activity on our Discord.
Today we're going to show you some changes in the design of our characters.
For those who don't know - after a long time of the release of our game Perseverance: Part 1 (2018), we decided to completely refresh it graphically to make it similar in style to the upcoming second part :)
And now some examples:
Natalie
Bob
Jack
Hope
The characters look much much fresher now. The old, thick line has been replaced by a less conspicuous one. The colors are clearer and the lights look much better. We've also gently changed the facial features and hairs.

We're happy that you like the new version of Perseverance: Part 1 so much. We got a lot of messages thanking us for putting so much heart into this project. We love reading these and similar things:
Awesome, I can see that you are putting a lot of love into the development of this game.
It gives us more strength to continue what we do and what we believe in.
Today (especially for those who haven't seen it yet) we want to show you some backgrounds - before and after the refresh. Our graphic designer put a lot of passion into it, and we really like the end result.
Living Room This is where the game begins. During Jack and Natalie's conversation, we get to know their story and the problems they face.
Wooden cabin It's Jack's little wooden shelter in the middle of the forest, where he goes to rest in nature. Will something happen there? Why is Jack really going there?
Compared to the previous version:
Forest We had to keep a sense of mystery and horror in it. We really like the final look. Michalina - our graphic designer - achieved exactly the effect we needed. She perfectly captured the dark depths of the forest.
The below gif shows the graphical difference. How do you like it? :)
In today's post, we haven't uploaded all the backgrounds because we want you to be able to experience them for yourself in the game. Once again, we want to thank you for your support. Also, if you would like to stay in touch with us and be a part of our community - join our Discord channel.
Today we bring you the first part of the well-known and beloved visual novel - Perseverance: Part 1 in a new and refreshed graphic style.
The refreshed version of the game has just been released!
And is fully prepared for you to experience Jack's story once again. With the new graphical style, we wanted to give you the opportunity to play the first part in the same graphical style as Perseverance: Part 2, which will also be released soon.
Today is also the end of the giveaway (on our discord channel) - where you can win a Steam key to Perseverance: Part 1. Results will be announced on March 1.
We have a surprise for you! Last week we told you some good news about the refresh of Perseverance: Part 1. In the meantime, we launched a Discord channel.
That's why we're running a giveaway! Where you can get a key to our game. If you already have one, you can always gift it to someone. You will be able to remind the story before the release of the second part.
Join our Discord, find 🔑|NEWS-AND-KEYS channel, and leave “🎮” reaction, that's it! Results March 1 on Discord.
Our forge is as busy as ever. Perseverance: Part 2 is coming closer and closer to its completion which brings us closer to launch. The results of our hard work so far are pretty awesome. Meanwhile, our team has prepared a noteworthy surprise! In March 2021, you will be able to experience Perseverance: Part 1 in a new and fresh visual style.
Remember Jack? It’s hard to forget a troubled father trying as hard as he can to keep his family together. Today, Jack has finally blushed with some colors.
If Jack became more colorful, his Natalie deserves a stylish treatment as well. Being a part of an explosive marriage one can be stunned and terrified by a situation. The refreshment of Natalie's character made her emotion and reaction even more believable and scary.
We wanted Perseverance: Part 1 to step up to the visual quality set by its successor. In Perseverance: Part you finally get to play as Karen and witness her side of the story prior to all hell breaking loose in GreyVille.
A few weeks ago on our YouTube channel, we started posting videos of the painting process. We are sure that you will find it enjoyable and satisfying to watch :)
Below is one of the videos. Be sure to check out our profile for more and of course subscribe to our YT channel ;)

Can you smell the scent of cakes, the Christmas lights are hanging on every wall and the presents are waiting to be unpacked under the Christmas tree? Christmas in Grey Ville is the only time when people can take a break from their dark reality. That's why everyone together - the Titanite Games team - and the residents of the restless Grey Ville wish you a happy Christmas with your loved ones.
If there was one character we immediately fell in love with it’s our clumsy, blonde Natalie’s co-worker - Ellen. There was something pure and innocent about her initial concept and we strongly wanted to make her part of the main plot. But how does a goodhearted, harmless person fit into a mystery horror visual novel?
Ellen is a newcomer to Perseverance story. As a nurse, she works at the hospital - together with Natalie and other employees. She is someone who stumbles at the least expected moment - and nobody's surprised - that's just how she is. You just don’t let her handle fragile, asian porcelain. ;-)
Extremely delicate and shy, she’s like a feather in the wind. She lets life take her wherever it does... Even though she tries her best to make everyone around her feel good and is very friendly one cannot rub off a feeling of deep loneliness in her. Why would a young, beautiful woman seem so lonely?
She looks happy, but is she? About 30 years old woman quickly notices that the reality is not so colorful - the job she once dreamed of is quickly becoming tired and frustrating. The stress causes her to start visiting the bar more and more often just before going to work. Hard work is one thing - but a traumatic past is another...
She might look happy, but is she really? Is the stress of her work pushing her to visit the local bard so often? Or is it something else?
Ellen looks for her happiness in small pleasures and fashionable accessories: a bright lipstick, a denim jacket, colorful dresses, bandanas, and hairpins. Her appearance stands out from her colleagues. Like a child in a world of grownups: a bit passive, a bit stubborn. What will be her part in the upcoming Perseverance: Part 2 story? How is her relationship with Karen going to unfold? What’s her REAL story?
Add Perseverance: Part 2 to your wishlist and find out on your own very soon.
Today let's talk a bit about our main character’s design.
The arrival of Karen Stamp in Perseverance: Part 1 has created a strange atmosphere. A mysterious woman who is an agent, alone in a tiny town? The questions that came to light after she appeared were: Who is she looking for? Who is she working for? What is her objective afterwards?
Some of these questions were answered in Part 1 while other answers are yet to be revealed. As we were working on the details for Part 2, Karen’s character has changed. Once that happened we had to rework her look. Today we are not going into the story, but into the evolution of Karen's appearance.
The gif below shows her famous debut in the first part of the Perseverance series. Black hair, red leather jacket, white shirt, black jeans, and of course, let us not forget - the cigarette. Femme fatale in all her glory.
Below you can see that Karen has taken shape. Her facial expressions, look details, and body characteristics - all of those are much more clear now. Finally, you can see her unique beauty and the mystery she hides.
We made sure that her design remains mostly consistent with Perseverance: Part 1. Karen still wears her short red jacket, white shirt, and black short, black hair. The one thing we did change was get rid of Karen’s sunglasses. Since most of the Perseverance: Part 2 story takes part during nighttime, it only made sense to drop this accessory.
Moreover, we figured that Karen should look more ‘sharp’ and raw. We changed her facial features to fit her character better.
What do you think about "Karen's new version"? Soon you will get to know her and her story. I would forget! On our Perseverance: Part 2 Steam profile you can see some devlogs and more information about the second part of our game. There are two more posts about Karen, so be sure to check it out.
In closing, we have a question for you, but answer honestly :) This is just fun.
And that's it for today's Devlog. We hope you enjoyed this short post. Hit Add to wishlist button’, to be up to date. It means the world to us!
