2018-10-28

Ladies & Gentlemen, we present you today with a little bit pride our 2018 Halloween Edition of "Father's Island" - or, as we called it in earlier announcements, Father`s Island 2.0 Why? Because it is based on the DirectX11 upgrade of the underlying Gamemaker "GameGuru", and it mitigates or entirely eliminates all problems you might have had with our original release. - IMPORTANT: If you have problems updating to this version, please uninstall and reinstall Father`s Island. Actually, we recommend uninstalling and a fresh install anyway! - Changes: • DirectX11 based • Loading times reduced by 30 - 75%, depending on the system • Load only once per session: Smart respawn system • 2 new video scenes • 3 new posters • 2 new side stories in letters • Full PBR support • 37 assets converted to true PBR • Multi-Level vertex painted terrain

• Advanced atmosphere light scattering • Fixed some minor bugs and logic issues • Fixed the summoning of the Dragon Possible Troubleshooting: • After you hit the "Start Game" button, just leave your system loading. Even if the game seems unresponsive, it will load (don`t cancel or quit) • If the level fails to load (or an error message appears), open the setup.ini in the installation folder and set dividetexturesize=1 to dividetexturesize=4 • If Steam keeps reinstalling /or verifying over and over again, please uninstall and reinstall • If you find it too dark / bright / red / whatever, you can adjust ALL rendering options by editing the visuals.ini file Enjoy!

Introduction Father’s Island is an exploitation video game and you better keep that in mind while you’re playing it. In recent years, more and more Steam games have tried to exaggerate certain features found in our society and thus, the exploitation genre has its well deserved niche in gaming, as it does in the film industry. The indie scene makes good use of over-the-top “B-movie” style topics and the game I’m...

Fancy getting terribly, hopelessly lost in a semi-open world GameGuru map? In a "horror" game with virtually no horror in it? Come on, you know you want it... Not that long ago I actually found myself giving a positive review to a game made with the infamous GameGuru engine; a game entitled Hunted: One Step Too Far. This was a momentous occasion, as every other GG product I'd endured up to that point was utterly...
