The Steam Machine, more ways to play Terrordrome Reign of the Legends.[img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/37879004/c9d521025947cc63525d0822a6322ed0f75875ea.jpg"][/p][p]Recently Valve announced a brand new piece of hardware known has the Steam Machine, a small compact miniature PC that is designed for sit down TV gaming.
Depending on price this new device may prove beneficial to indie developers like us who have yet to develop console ports of our game as this machine may bring our game to the console base broadening our reach to the gaming community that could not afford or have the room for a PC akin to what the Steam deck has done.
We hope to see many more players discovering ROTL for the first time with this hardware.

Thank you for reading and we'll see you in the new year.

Terrordrome : Reign Of The Legends - 1.04

This patch has varies fixes to issues that was found during the last live stream along with more issues fixed that was found from what we was at EVO this pass August.

From this point forward if any issues are reported and that turn out to be minor and update will be created without patch notes. This allows for quicker fixes for public releases without having to wait too long.


  1. A brand new main menu theme has been added to the game, all credits for the track go to Kashdan Music

  2. Memory leak was found from when exiting a match keeping certain data to remain in memory with this fixed it will reduce the overall memory usage the game will use.

  11. CPU vs CPU now properly loads the character selection screen instead of loading a random match.

  12. Fixed an issue on Wendigo not properly disabling his turn pike when performing a move that grabs the opponent.

Beating off the rays of the sun at the start of June, developing more as we continue our way to Las Vegas.

A live stream is on the way

We can confirm that this month that we will be doing a special live stream with a special announcement in regards to EVO.
This stream will go over lots of stuff we have been working on behind the scenes and other exciting information.
We haven't given out a date that the stream will take place so be sure to stay up to date on our discord and other social media platforms for more information.

Combo Trials


Combo Trials has been finished! and will be on it's way to public access in a future giga patch we plan to release.
Combo Trials is a mode for those who want to lab and explore what Reign of the Legends is truly capable of, combo trials can be played with any of the characters on the roster with multiple combos from easy to hard to learn.

3 secret characters development
2 of the 3 characters are in the integration phase of development, character 3 has some animations in the works as well as the voice for character 3 has now been recorded by none other than Sasquatch voice actor Brian Watts.
We're currently in search of actors for the other 2 characters.

That's all we can share this month, remember to check out our socials for the live stream and the team will give out another update in July and head our way to EVO after.

Terrordrome : Reign Of The Legends - Initial Language Selection Fix

This patch will fix an issue that happens when first launching the game, where the language selection window will instantly close itself not allowing to select a default language. Then causing an infinite loading screen.

1. Initial language selection has been moved to the main menu.

2. Fixed an issue when selecting a different language within the Settings menu would cause you be locked to this menu force you to close and relaunch the game.

3. Fixed an issue within the lobby menu that would cause the last selected character to be centered within the stage when a match would load.

4. Rearranged how the selected character will appear within the an online lobby.


New content will be coming soon as we're finalizing on the new Combo trials mode that will also include 12 new achievements. Plus the previously announced 3 final characters are soon to be added to the game.

Terrordrome Reign of the Legends development update: May 2025

It's May day and the sun has awoken as we develop the game wearing sunglasses deflecting the light from the window.
Here is this months development update for Terrordrome ROTL.

Update on combo trials mode.


The combo trails for all characters are finished as well as the UI for it!
Before we decide to release we are in the play testing and bug finding phase of development.
Once we are happy with the mode we plan to release it with a patch sometime before EVO and move towards the implementation of 2 of the now 4 free DLC playable characters.

Developement of the Free DLC characters

As mentioned above, once we finish the combo trials mode we will be implementing 2 of the 4 DLC characters to the games engine which means that yes the animations for all of their moves have already been completed, the 3rd character has some animations finished and some moves that are in need to be animated, the 4th character only has the model made for the time being.
We will likely announce who these characters are much later when we're ready to release.

EVO


We will be at EVO again, as for which location we will be at, we will disclose that at a later date so be sure to keep a heads up with our announcements as well as EVO's themselves for more infomation.

That's all we could share this month, and we'll be sure to continue our work leading up to the journey to EVO Las Vagas.

Terrordrome Reign of the Legends Development Update: April 2025

Lots of work behind the scenes which we can now announce what we've been up to today.

Spring is here as we dig our heels deeper into development like our name was Jack.
We have a new mode on the way soon as well as other info we would like to present.

Update on visual changes.

In the last development update we mentioned that we wanted to go through a visual overhaul that will make the game look more akin to a horror comic rather than what we had before.
Due to multiple factors we have decided to meet the two styles halfway keeping the more realistic textures and lighting whilst combined with our outline shader in order to help differentiate the character from the stage, in addition we have found that the add on of outlines have helped players who have some minor visual impairment issues see the character easier so we have decided to keep the shader for the foreseeable future.

Combo Trials is on the way!

This has been in development before but back when we did, we were still working out the games combat mechanics and since the game is out it is back in development and close to begin finished.
At the time of this post 8 characters have their own combo trails implemented already which means there's only 4 more characters left to go before we release this new mode to the public.
Please note that the moves displayed within the UI will be updated and renamed before release.

thank you for reading the development update and we'll see you again next month.

Terrordrome Reign of the Legends Development Update: February 2025

The second month has arrived as the first went in a blink of an eye, here’s this month’s development update.



Alternate costume development

Although we still can’t give away any images of any of these characters used as alt costumes yet, but we can now give an update that 2 of these new costumes will come with brand new intros.

We had to specifically animate these intros due to the intro of the original character they’re a costume for didn’t make any sense and would look off in this costume’s context.



More visual adjustments are on the way



Last update we showed off our recent addition we added which was adding an outline to the characters and it had been a success to our audience so we would like to confirm that our characters will now go through even more visual changes and shaders to produce a more horror comic art style.



EVO 2025!



Finally yes we will be back at EVO again this year just like before.

We have no other info in terms of if we will have a booth this time or not but if you are around at the convention this year be sure to say hi to us.
