Greetings, fellow cultists! Hope you have a fun Halloween, filled with tentacles and cosmic abominations. Here's what this brand-spanking new major update brings to Gibbous - A Cthulhu adventure!
We heard you loud and clear about the low quality of the Russian translation, so we've hired new people and completely redone it from scratch.
Alex and Arina have a lot of experience, having localized games like Thimbleweed Park, Hollow Knight and Broken Sword 5, so you should be having a great time with Gibbous in Russian now. Sorry it took so long, but good things take time, and we really didn't want to rush this!
And speaking of languages, this update also brings a new one: Brazilian Portuguese!
You asked for them, we finally delivered. Trading cards, emoticons, badges and all that good stuff are here.
Enjoy the drops and praise Dagon!
We also heard you loud and clear regarding the quality of Buzz Kerwan's voice lines. We're owning up to it - the direction was a bit all over the place, and having recorded in several different locations on hardware with varying degrees of quality really hurt the experience.
So we hunkered down and moved into the studio for a few weeks, and we re-recorded and edited everything from scratch.
Enjoy the new, improved, and way lower pitched Buzz K-E-R-W-A-N!
Presented in ultra-wide Gibbouscope!
When we started working on Gibbous, wide and ultra-wide resolutions weren't really a thing. The trouble with 2d, hand-painted art is that, well, it's hand-painted, you can't just generate more automatically.
We had two options: either add black bars to the sides, or extend them by carefully hand-painting hundreds of layers for tens of backgrounds. Guess which one we chose!
This was a lot of work, but hey - it's 2019, and more and more people will play Gibbous at higher resolutions, so we really feel it was worth the effort.
We've been aware for a while of a few nasty bugs that hurt your experience with Gibbous. We're happy to say that we've squashed the biggest and the most annoying ones:
Screen exit arrow not appearing due to aspect ratio: we now support wide and ultra-wide, which should automatically fix the problem.
Resolution changing when alt-tabbing: this had to do with how the game handled displaying in full screen, we've changed it and the bug went away.
We really hope we've addressed all of your concerns, but if issues still remain, please post in the dedicated bug reports thread on our discussions.
We'd like to take a moment and thank everyone who's been reporting bugs (and also providing solutions!) in the discussion threads, we're happy to have such a nice and supportive community.
And speaking of community, if you'd like to report something to us in real time, or just feel like chatting to other cultists, don't forget about our discord server!. It's a warm and welcoming bunch of deranged cultists, and us devs are pretty much always around.
That's about it for this update! We've put a lot of effort into all of the above for the past three months, and we hope they provide you with a significantly improved comedy cosmic horror experience.
Thank you all for your patience and continued support.
Cthulhu Fhtagn!
First of all, a big, big thank you to everyone who's purchased the game! We are so thrilled to finally see you guys playing and enjoying Gibbous. We've put all our effort and passion into this game for over three years, and your kind words make it all worth-while.
