Sylvio 2 is coming on October 11th!
Yes that's right, only two weeks away until the launch of the sequel to Sylvio.

The storefront just opened along with launch trailer, 4 min raw gameplay and new screenshots: http://store.steampowered.com/app/686500/Sylvio_2/

I hope you'll like it!

See you soon,
Niklas

Update - Achievement glitch
I've received some reports on some of the achievements not working correctly.

Thanks for reporting it, sorry about the delay in getting it fixed. I'd like to blame some problems with the original project files (which I had), but the truth is I've been swamped with the developing of Sylvio 2.

Now however, you should receive any and all achievements you are entitled to when entering the start page. Just let it sit for a couple of seconds while it goes through your save data.

Let me know if there are any issues with this (or anything else) at bugs@sylviogame.com

Thanks!

Niklas

Sylvio 2 is coming this fall!
The sequel to Sylvio is entering its final stages of completion, and will be released on Steam this fall. It's been in development since 2015, and continues the story of Juliette Waters and the solitude of Saginaw Family Park. Only this time around she'll be recording movies as well.

A major update!
Hello everyone!

I've been away from Steam the last months, as I've been buried with porting Sylvio to PS4 and XBox One. Apologies for not hanging out in the forums as much as I use to. I've been answering e-mails though, and that's really the best way to get in contact.
niklas@stroboskop.com if you want to say hi or bugs@sylviogame.com if you're having troubles.

Sylvio is being released on PS4 and XBox One Friday 13th, January 2017. During the porting I added some features like revisiting areas, nicer hand animations and a bunch of other stuff, and this update adds all of that to the PC and Mac version.

There’s been a lot of work done on optimizing the levels, and things should just run smoother over-all.

I have deleted two achievements, Photo Of The Face and Blood Of The Mist, because they didn’t make sense with the new ’revisit area’-function.

That’s all for now, take care and if you run into any bugs, I’m very grateful if you let me know at bugs@sylviogame.com

Best,
Niklas

New patch - Disappearing Orbs
I've been fighting for a while with a bug where the black orbs from time to time becomes invisible. I've been in contact with the 3rd party developers who made the plugin I'm using, but no solution has yet been found.

At first I thought it was an obscure problem only appearing on macs - but it seems like a few players are experiencing it all the time on all platforms - which makes the issue a lot more alarming.

I've now scrapped the 3rd party plugin and built a variation of the orb natively in Unity. Hopefully this will eliminate any problems. The patch is now live.

Thank you!

Update 16-07-01
Sorry about another update so close to the last one. Added:

* Graphic updates that didn't make it into last patch.
* Bug in the subtitles, sometimes showing subs when turned off.
* Subtitles turned off will be remembered after restart.
* Minor menu issues

Latest update - subs!
Subtitles for all of Juliette's lines! They'll be on by default, turn them off in the settings.

A hefty list of minor bugs, and one major one with the cassette tape on the ice cream hut level which kept the inventory from saving properly.

Minor graphical updates on all levels.

As always, let me know on bugs@sylviogame.com should you stumble upon something strange.

And have a nice summer!

Trading Cards and Update!
Some of you have been requesting this from the very beginning, so I'm very happy to finally release a set of Sylvio Trading Cards, Emoticons, Badges and Backgrounds. Hope you like them.

New in the latest update:

Reset car! If the car gets stuck or rolls over, exit the car and hold action button while looking at it.
Achievements Sheet no 5 and Piano Player were broken and are now fixed.
Various bugs and issues fixed. If you're wondering about something in particular, mail me at bugs@sylviogame.com







Sylvio Remastered is live!
Hey all! For the last six months I've rebuilt Sylvio in Unity 5. The graphics are now better, the GUI has been remade, the gameplay mechanic has been improved,and it now has full controller support for nearly all controllers on the market.

I am very excited about this major update, I hope you'll like it too.

If you find any bugs or strange behaviour, please mail your experiences to bugs@sylviogame.com along with your specs and the player log (if possible).

Now: A brief pause and then onwards to the development of Sylvio 2.
A thousand thanks for playing!

Good and bad and good news.
Good news: The Greenlight campaign for Sylvio 2 sailed into the green in only 13 days. That means Sylvio 2 will without a doubt be released on Steam once it's finished.

Bad news: The Kickstarter didn't go as well. It had more than 350 backers but unfortunately ended about 35% from the goal. Which means the developing of Sylvio 2 will be put on hold for the time being. The plan is to continue late 2016.

Good news: The original Sylvio will be remastered, adding full support for all types of controllers, new GUI, updated graphics and improved gameplay. This will be delivered in a free update later on this spring.

For those of you who are interested in supporting the studio and following the progress, I've set up a page at Patreon. 2 $ a month will get you Sylvio 1 and 2 as a digital download, so it's worth checking out!

Thanks for now and I'll see you around!
