We’re thrilled to share some groundbreaking news: our game joins the world’s first viewer-interactive streaming platform, STREAMBLE.LIVE What sets this platform apart is its redefining feature that enables viewers to interact with games through the online Stream window. This innovation kicks off with Unreal Engine, offering dynamic new dimensions of engagement for broad menu of titles. For Cradle of Sins, this means integrating the first of such mechanics into our Bongo gamemode. Here, viewers will have the power to either support or impede progress through the Tower, effectively taking control of the game's destiny. We're eager to explore innovative implementations and look forward to seeing which developers will join us in this venture. On the development front, our journey with Cradle of Sins has been intense and focused, particularly on the Bongo mode and the broader game ecosystem. This has meant less activity on our Discord thread and socials, but rest assured, our dedication has been unwavering. Our efforts have been concentrated on refining, building gameplay mechanics and enhancing features to maximize fun and engagement across our game modes. We're currently in the process of overhauling systems related to loot, PC combat, movement, animations, and are experimenting with new VR combat features. Though we've devoted considerable time to development, the next gargantuan phase of polishing and testing is just ahead. We are deeply grateful for your support and patience. Your enthusiasm fuels our commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience.

We have reached a pivotal moment: we've managed to deliver half of what you've been eagerly expecting, while going further than we thought we could. However, there's no time for rest; we're pushing ahead full steam. This spring marked the establishment of a brand new branch in the UK. This dynamic team of developers is not only eager to showcase their skills, but they're also dedicated to creating an enjoyable developer show. Think of it as a pleasant way to spend your Friday night, with a refreshing drink and some popcorn at your side. As summer dawned, we were faced with a significant shift to version 5.2. The process of revamping many of the core components of our game has been a complex and time-consuming task. Yet we remain steadfast in our belief that by reinforcing these fundamental elements, we'll facilitate a better long-term experience. We are releasing one of the new big gamemodes: Mallers Cave and soon Bongo! Mallers Cave This map gamemode features a whole new cave map and a FFA gamemode. Where players truly test their metal to see who comes out as the champion! Our mission in there is currently to make the perfect BOT enemies to fight against the player. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42288306/9f3ab2007411b6e83d388ce2edf216cc054ceffd.png Introducing the Revamped Crossbows: To enhance the VR gaming experience, all crossbows now require ammunition and reloading. Base Crossbow: A manual reloading crossbow, standard in Helena's arsenal. Crossbow Shotgun: A powerful weapon that releases 5 bolts simultaneously. Explosive Crossbow: While it has limited ammo and range, its destructive power is unmatched. AR Crossbow: Enjoy extended action without frequent reloading. Crossbow Super: Imagine the Crossbow Shotgun, but with twice the firepower – 10 bolts in a single shot. Crossbow Sniper: A high-risk, high-reward weapon. It compromises the user's health but decimates enemies effortlessly. Homing Crossbow: Perfect for those moments when you'd rather not aim. Healing Crossbow: Shoot yourself or allies to heal, but shooting enemies still does damage. It's a unique way to balance offense with self-preservation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35268432/3449394d495c90be226ce451c67e1e4703698034.png TURRETS Introducing the Eye Turret!

We have exciting news for you. Our latest update is coming on February 22th and we're opening it up for public testing. We've been working hard to bring you the best gaming experience using the latest Unreal Engine 5 technology. But, unfortunately, our server provider, GameSparks, shut down their servers last year. This set us back, but we're almost there! Along with rebuilding our servers, we're also adding two brand new game modes and a bunch of new features. First up is our PvP Cave Mining Operation. Two teams will compete to collect the most crystal energy, but be warned, the other team will stop at nothing to come out on top. Keep your blades sharp! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35268432/05a08a8f7f9f113b6dd00302b7991bdcbbca02cb.png Next, we have Bongo, a competitive trial against an endless tower.

Join us on this journey filled with endless possibilities." Yours truly, Cradle of Sins Team Game is going Offline for a short whileOct 3, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsDear gamers! We're going offline on Steam for a short while! This is due to us changing the server platform and finally taking the step to Unreal Engine 5 territory. This has been in the works for a while now and in plans for an even longer time, but since the previous server provider has gone offline the game would be unplayable until then. The change allows us to give you a much more stabe game. Tools and visual quality of today's age. And the ability to implement our long over-due gamemodes and maps that have been simultaneously created in UE5 and are waiting to be put in use. The change also allows us to decluster some of our backend to make the game smoother and less likely to break.
