Hello guys,
Ziggurat is currently nominated to the Gamelab 2015 Public Award, so we’d love your help in getting that award!
To vote for the game, you need a Facebook account and open this link:https://apps.facebook.com/mis-encuestas/premiosgamelab2015
Let’s do a deal, if you help us getting to the top 4 nominees, we’ll pause work on our next game for some time and work on a new Ziggurat content update (for free, as usual). This update would probably add a new enemy, a new unlockable character and new room layouts.
Thank you for your help

Ziggurat, the Dungeon Crawling FPS game, will be released on Xbox One on March 20th.
The Xbox One version features all improvements and new content that the PC version has received over the past months, and we have worked hard to ensure the game looks and plays great on the console.
We’d like to thank the ID@Xbox team for this opportunity and their great support throughout the whole process 🙂

Ziggurat will be released in Early Access by August 14th.
Our goal is to offer a game packed with content, fun and balanced to play, and for that we want to hear your feedback while we are on the final stages of development.
Ziggurat is already in an advanced enough stage to be enjoyed, and we sincerely believe you’ll like it, but we think that with your help it will get even better!
To reward your help and support on a game not fully finished yet, Ziggurat will be available for a lower price during the entire Early Access.
Of course, we’ll love to hear your opinions and feedback on the game, and will do our best to improve it not only during Early Access, but after it’s finally released too.
You can join now the official game group http://steamcommunity.com/games/ziggurat/ and share your thoughts on the discussion forums.
And don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist!

Past week we got to Gamelab 2014 on Barcelona and showcased a playable demo of Ziggurat on a booth for 3 days straight.
During those three days, over 100 people tried the game, and most of them were both suprised and pleased by how the game looked and played. We intended to do a Twitch stream of the entire event, but the WiFi wasn’t fast enough so it wasn’t possible.
This demo also helped us gather plenty of data on game difficulty and balance on specific enemies and weapons, as well as some important feedback on what gameplay elements and goals needed more work. Some stats of the data we have collected:
- Over 130 plays were logged, with almost 7,000 enemies spawned
- Around 56,000 shots were made, with a 70% overall accuracy
- The incendiary bomb was the most effective weapon, causing a total of 7,500 points of damage
- Cockatrices, one of the basic enemies, were 4 times more dangerous than expected, killing a total of 34 players.
We didn’t take as many pictures as we’d wanted, we had our hands full with all the people testing the game :), but here are a few of them:

On White Noise Online, a team of up to 4 investigators has to explore an area looking for clues, while avoiding being devoured by a supernatural creature. Will you be able to uncover the truth behind the mysterious events?
The game takes the idea of simple, accesible horror behind Slender and evolves it further to adapt it to a cooperative environemnt.
Designed from scratch to offer a shared horror experience, White Noise Online lets you live new situations, never seen before on a videogame. You’ll need teamwork and trust on your partners to take the right choices and overcome the challenges you’ll face.
Another interesting feature of WNO is the replay screen, where you can check the path you and your friends followed. Once the thrilling game session is over, have a laugh while seeing how you kept walking in circles!
It features over 15 playable characters, each one with their own perks and skills, and 6 different scenarios to explore. The game offers total Steam integration, including matchmaking, voice chat, achievements, etc.
White Noise Online is available on Windows, Mac & Linux, for just $6, with a release discount of 25%, and a 4-pack can also be purchased for an additional 25% discount.

White Noise Online will be available for purchase on Steam on March 22nd.
We’ve worked hard on the PC adaptation, to ensure a proper experience either using a gamepad or keyboard/mouse, on any of the 3 Steam platforms.
The game comes with the same features the Xbox 360 version have, plus achievements. We plan on adding new features such as characters, maps, and Virtual Reality support (Oculus) as long as the game gets some audience.
It will be available for $6, and will feature a 25% discount on release, as well as a 4-pack option.
