I've always seen it as a feature creep, and it makes the game unplayable for deaf players. \n[*] Killed some long-living bugs. \n[*] Various cosmetica.\n[/list]\n\nIt's been five years since the last update. The release of Sylvio 2 caused me to burn out of gamedev I got back into working as a freelance composer, I co-founded an environmental startup, coded some apps. In 2021 I dipped my toe into gamedev again, with a project called Guidance.\n\nIn the beginning of 2022, I got invited to join the Dread X Collection 5, a horror game collection put together by Dread XP. I had roughly two months to put together a game with a playtime of 45 minutes. \nMan, it was so intense, to just go from scratch zero to finished project in that short amount of time, but it was an amazing experience.\n\nYou can get the collection here. The game I made is called KARAO.\n\n[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1899810/Dread_X_Collection_5/]https://store.steampowered.com/app/1899810/Dread_X_Collection_5/[/url]\n\n[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8831055/3fab6bae03115027502c924953113bb0548049fe.png[/img]\n\nThe experience made me relearn what it is I love about creating horror games. I am currently exploring paths for future horror game projects, and will keep you posted when something materialises. Guidance is put on hold for the moment.\n\nDigging up the old Sylvio project and getting into that spaghetti code has been cleansing, in a way. I'm so thankful for all the people that have been playing it through the years, and as it's still being picked up by new players, it feels good to give it an update.\n\nAs always, let me know of any bugs, either on the forum or on bugs@stroboskop.com\n\nIf you have any problem with the new build, you can use the password Play2017Sylvio to access the old build. \n\nSee you soon,\nNiklas, Stroboskop",

    "content": "Greetings, captains and crews of the skies,\n\nIt’s been a long while since we’ve spoken to you here, and it’s about time we caught up. We, Muse Games, have grown up as a team. We’ve worked on and released multiple titles, and we are independent. So, what are we here to talk about? First of all, you. \n\nThe Guns of Icarus community have been with us for over a decade now. That’s incredibly humbling, and heartwarming for the entire team. To see you all still out there, flying in the skies we first created in Flight of the Icarus back in 2010 is amazing. So, firstly, we wanted to say, thank you.\n\nThank you for investing in our world, and thank you for helping shape and share the story we’ve all made together. Not many studios are as lucky to have a community as strong as the Guns of Icarus community, and we do not take that for granted. \n\nWe wanted to let you know that we’ve been working on something. Something we think you’re going to like. A lot. We’re going back to our roots. While we can’t tell you too much more at the moment, let’s just say that the sky is no longer the limit. \n\nYou’re going to be hearing a lot more from us in the coming weeks and months, so be sure to stick around and [url=https://discord.gg/5dbmkwR4tt]join us on Discord[/url]. \n\nSee you in the skies, and beyond…\n\nHoward for Team Muse\n",
