We were tied to our engine version so went the other route of merging various changelists in to our custom engine build to get 5.2 compatible with SDK 10. Not any less of a pain, but an option

Each character in #Empyreal has their own questline and itโ€™s up to you on whether their story has a happy ending, or if their fate was doomed from the very beginning.

Let us introduce your fellow members of the Expedition; Part 1 is live now:

Even though it has no sculpting tools, the Empyreal character creation is very fun! When I discovered the strong colours that were available, I decided to go for a red demon-like look for my first char.

Loathe that snide little yellow bar at the bottom of youtube ads. Maybe the ad will finish, or maybe it means nothing and you just have to watch more ad. How have we as a society accepted being messed around like this

#SteamNextFest might be over, but the #Empyreal demo isn't going anywhere.

There's still so much for you to discover, Mercenary.
