STEAM WINTER SALE & PATCH 2.1 UPDATE
If you haven't already experienced our Magic & Melee update, the Winter Sale is a great opportunity to experience the game at a great value.
But that's not all. Since our first Magic & Melee update during Steam VR Fest, we've been hard at work improving the game and adding features. Notably, we worked on our Risen Dead enemies to add variants each with their own behaviours. The Risen have also received a small visual update, and their outposts have been through an optimization pass.
We've introduced our first round of Shrines. These include a Time Trial, Survival and Puzzle Shrine. We have more in store for Shrines, but let us know what you think about this first implementation.
A Phonograph has been added to the Main Farm and is key to completing the Audio Cylinder Quest. If you're interested in learning more about the Gray Man, this will give you more insight into the history of the farm!
Lastly, we've added Smooth Rotation to our Look Options in the Settings Menu. @ParadiseDecay and @LiveOpenMike, we heard you!

EVENTS AT UNITY FARM - MAGIC & MELEE - PATCH 2.0
The Events at Unity Farm Patch 2.0 - Magic & Melee Update, is NOW AVAILABLE, just in time for STEAM VR Fest and the festive season!
Our team has worked tirelessly to bring you a plethora of new features and improvements, but none more significant than our unique take on melee combat.
Melee Combat
After months of intensive work, we are proud to unveil our first pass of melee combat. Our internal testing has yielded overwhelmingly positive feedback, and we are eager to see how you will explore and utilize this feature. Discover what objects you can use and how you can wield them to your advantage. We also value your input, so feel free to suggest any objects you would like to see in future updates.
Other exciting features to look out for:
Spell Wheel & Magic Circle Enhancements
Following the release of the Spell Wheel during October's Steam Scream: Revenge Patch Update 1.3, we have made improvements to its functionality. By holding down the grip buttons on either hand, the spell wheel pops up, allowing for faster spell reload times. While we recognize that other magic games use wands or conjuring with gestures, our combat is more akin to Bullet Heaven; where players release spells rapidly to defeat oncoming hordes of enemies. Thus, we aim to make the spell shooting experience as efficient and effective as possible during combat.
That said, we understand that players have different preferences, and for those who prefer using Liv's Journal to swap and reload spells, we have retained the book hover feature and spell selection page.
We have also updated our Magic Circles with new animations and effects to enhance the spell shooting experience. Your feedback is vital in helping us to refine and perfect these mechanics.
Shrines
We are excited to announce that a time trial shine has been activated! We understand your curiosity regarding our plans for shrines, and we are pleased to offer a glimpse into what's to come. Keep an eye out for an active shrine located in close proximity to the Corn Maze after you have completed the Lady of Straw boss battle. Place your hand on the handprint to activate.
We have multiple types of shrines in the pipeline, including various combat and puzzle shrines that will provide you with additional XP and aid you in upgrading your spells and skills.
Optimization & Stability Improvements
As we continue to transition our VFX from the Particle System to VFX Graph in Unity, we are consistently seeking ways to improve performance. This process is ongoing, and we appreciate all feedback from our community.

EVENTS AT UNITY FARM - STEAM SCREAM
Welcome to our STEAM SCREAM: THE REVENGE update! In this update, we are thrilled to share a number of updates to our combat loop and interactions:
Spell Wheel
Based on community feedback, we have addressed the desire for an alternative spell reload mechanic. Therefore, we have introduced a Spell Wheel that appears on each hand and streamlines the reloading of spells, eliminating the need to have the Book hover in front of you during combat. If you still prefer grabbing spells from the Book to reload, don't worry, we've kept that feature.
Light Melee
Additionally, we have implemented a light melee mechanic into the game. We believe in the potential of this addition and have taken steps in its initial implementation to ensure a balance that doesn't overshadow spell shooting. We encourage you to try this new feature. Discover the different types of weapons available, some with unique effects and explore different ways to attack and defend.
PATCH 1.2 NOTES:
- Added a Spell Wheel as a new method to reload spells in combat
- Added light Melee combat
- Added a Pin Button to the book. Toggling this on will prevent the book from bring grabbable while it hovers in front of you
- Improved spell performance
- Improved combat performance
- Improved Brute crystal hit feedback
- Improved Brute AoE and jump AoE logic
- Updated Audio Cylinder collectable asset
- Improved Quality Settings menu
- Added Subtitle/Caption settings
- Fixed soundtrack & audio issues
- Fixed some missing VFX
- Fixed some bugs in Horde Mode
- Fixed some render order issues

- Fixed some bugs related to Menus

EVENTS AT UNITY FARM ENTERS EARLY ACCESS
Titan1Studios, has announced that their debut video game, a Story-Rich, Dark Fantasy, Action, Adventure and Magic Combat PCVR title, the EVENTS AT UNITY FARM, will enter Early Access on Steam on September 23rd, 2023. The game’s demo which first launched during Steam Next Fest in February has received over 18,500 activations on the platform and is currently in development for PlaystationVR2®.
In the EVENTS AT UNITY FARM, players must prevent the Multipocalypse by solving the mystery of what happened to a ghost girl named Alliss. By using an ancestral journal that empowers physical magic casting, solving unique puzzles, and gathering materials to improve their skills, players will experience a fresh-take on Open-World VR that combines survival and RPG elements with shooter-style spell combat and pits you against a variety of souls-like creatures and persistent enemies in an ever-expanding story universe.
The game mixes the best of Lovecraftian Horror and Fantasy with a dash of Steampunk, inspired by classic 1990’s point and click adventure and RPG games from publishers such as Sierra Online, Origin Systems and LuscasArts.
Ruth Bowie, the game’s unlikely hero, is a shy BIPOC teen from a matrilineal line of occult scientists that she only comes to learn of after arriving at Unity Farm. It’s her grandmother who sends her back in time to prevent the Multipocalypse and her great-grandmother’s journal she must learn to wield to defeat the hordes of creatures from myth, legend, technology and human experimentation gone wrong.
The decision to enter Early Access was a strategic one, driven by the studios’ commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience while involving the passionate community in shaping the game's future. After years of development and after receiving both player and content creator feedback through various phases of production; Closed Beta to Demo, moving to Early Access will provide the additional opportunity for the development team to engage in more broad community-based development.
Virtual Reality Adventurers who are familiar with the demo will be treated to hours of new content in Early Access including: an updated combat system with spell shooting combinations, an XP system with skill upgrades, potion crafting, lore, unlocked locations, new puzzles, and a new boss battle, all with improved and optimized visuals. Early Access will also include a first look at the game’s thrilling Arena (Horde) Mode which will introduce the fictional Western town of Rockslide and test the limits of player’s spell casting ability.
What’s in Early Access vs Final Release?
EARLY ACCESS
- Story Content - 3-4 hours
- Boss Battles - 2
- Mini-Boss Types - 2
- Spells and Combos - 3 spells and 6 spell combinations
- Locations - 6

FINAL RELEASE

- Final Boss Battle - 1

- Mini-Boss Types - 8

Steam users who purchase the game during Early Access will have access to all future content updates, improvements, and expansions without any additional cost.
To commemorate the launch of Early Access, Titan1Studios will also release a series of poster images featuring creatures from the game. Pictured earlier, the Ghost Witch, a creature based on the Skadegamutc from Indigenous folklore, will be accompanied by The Risen, the game’s iconic Portal Creature, The Risen Brute, and The Lady of Straw.
Released weekly on socials and at select Location-based entertainment centers around North America, the posters will promote Early Access and Steam Scream: Revenge participation from October 26th – November 1st, 2023.
The game marks the beginning of a new era for Titan1Studios, as it takes its IP from Comics to Gaming. The Multipocalypse, which originated in the hit ZOMBEN comic series, is a result of cataclysm on multiple Earths that results in three unique apocalyptic events from three separate Earths all occurring at once.
Staying close to its graphic novel roots, the studio has created a unique visual style for the game’s Cinematics moments by utilizing a set of tools to illustrate and animate them in virtual reality. The result marries the traditional comic book look with animatic style animation and a haunting yet hopeful musical score.
Titan1Studios prides itself on inclusive storytelling and that is evident with this game. At present, only a handful of virtual reality video games feature BIPOC characters, let alone leads. The EVENTS AT UNITY FARM leans into the opportunity to subvert the horror genre and deliver a rich narrative that is diverse, cultural, and 2SLGBTQIA+.

Titan1Studios also recently launched a new animation studio, Missing Socks Entertainment, based out of Calgary, with a slate of adult animation titles including MODERN ROGUE based on the hit YouTube channel, a medieval workplace comedy entitled DRAGONS & WARTS, and WTF! WRESTLING THE FEDERATION from creators Kanja Chen (Fraggle Rock) and Atul Rao (Deepa & Anoop, Ghee Happy).
In Video Games, the studio has a variety of projects in production. EVENTS AT UNITY FARM, a fresh take on open-world virtual reality, with magic shooting combat, puzzle solving, exploration, and a rich narrative, is in the late stages of production with a scheduled release in October 2023 on PCVR platforms. Also, production is underway on LOVE IS A ROUGELITE, a turn-based action game set within a procedurally generated love story, slated for release on Valentine’s Day in 2025.
