How are you, demonic creatures from the depths of Hell! ? ????
During the last months we have been working with our friends at 3ogs (Pablo and Mauricio Navajas) and with our talented art director Viktor Ahmed, to bring you that thing you've been asking for a long time...
STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS!
I also recreated the language system entirely, and added (finally) our own natal-Argentinian Spanish option. And a bunch of other fixes and improvements have been made to the game. Check out the entire list on the bottom of this post ????
I want to take this opportunity to share with you our last Kickstarter update, where I did a recap about all the things we have accomplished together during the last years: Don't miss it, here's the link!
As I mentioned in that post, I want to start working on a new project next month.
Hellbound has been without a doubt an incredible journey for us at Saibot Studios. But unfortunately, we haven't seen a single sale from it, since the third party investment was never recouped. So this right here is probably our last update, or at least for now.
You can follow us on our social networks to stay in touch with us and to keep updated on new things to come: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and You Tube.
Once again, I want to thank you all who have been supporting us during this time. This has been a wonderful era in our careers, with a ton of anecdotes and experiences to share ✊
And now... Let's get those freaking achievements unlocked!
