Dev Log #22 Community advancement
Hello all! Happy to tell you all we’ve hit a new frontier in our community on Twitter. We want to take the time to thank you all for following our progress and helping us bring this project to life. A big shout out to the group of IndieLegion . They bring together many indie devs that want to shine and help them do so with a lot of support. Here are the news from our caves here at studio O.S.A.A.T. We showed you our concept for our shop called : The Hack Brothers. We are glad to show you the shop in completion and into the game!
Furthermore, this shop will need an NPC for it. Enters Hack, one of the hack brothers that will assist you on your quest. They are scrap junkers and tech heads that can pretty much craft anything if they have the schematic, that is. We are now in the process of making its rig and animation so we can bring him in the world of SoulCipher.
Finally, we wanted to leave you with a nice shot of the new transfer station we made for the R.T.C area… did someone say it’s teleport time?
Dev Log #23 New Gadget and more
Hello all!
Another achievement in our community! Thank you all for the continued support! It really helps us with our motivation to accomplish this great challenge we gave ourselves.
Here we are showcasing a new threat you will face in our world. Meet the Samu, based on a original mesh we had made in our school year by one of our old classmate. We made a new improved, bad ass version of it (in blue) of the old model (In red).
Newly made and in the progress of the making is our save state menu. We wanted to share this easy but lengthy process with you and all it’s glory.
And finally to leave you with a nice little treat, here is yet another great concept made by our friend Frederic Bertrand-Hudon . You will find great lore about the Zanatar Bastion in the world of Soul Cipher.

Dev Log #26 A Hearthy farewell
Hi all! To highlight our illustrator Delirios’ departure, here is one of the final pieces he created for us. An illustration of Mount Altum that overlooks the V.I.R.U.S. Complex.
We’ve also been working on a new small animation for a in-game scene, adding sweet destructibles in the game, new enemy behaviours, more level design, and texturing for new meshes.
Our animator is still working on Dot while we are working to program a new little system of collectibles that you can destroy all around the world to collect scrap and resources. Finally, our 3d modeler is cooking new enemies.
Cheers!
Dev log # 27 A new opponent approches
Merry Christmas everyone !
We are happy with the progress we made in the past few weeks. In addition to new mechanics, we’ve been working on a new challenge in the Compounder. A new frightening boss that you will have to defeat in order to progress in your adventure!
Speaking of new mechanics, we built the breakable boxes for you to collect more scrap to afford all those upgrades you will need to push through E.X.O.’s journey.
We’ll leave you today with these health and energy chips our modeler put together. Collect enough for game changing rewards !
Cheers !
