6.3 GB - RECOMPRESSED JUST FOR YOU OKAY BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Compression is a big part of ever day computing. Images take up large amounts of memory and disk space, so we use compression techniques to store them when they're not being viewed. For example ".png" and ".jpg" are ways to store much larger information, just packed up neatly. Particularly 2D games like Broken Sword 5, will contain tons of large graphical data and audio files that would take up obscene amounts of space without compression. To us it's important to keep an eye on the latest techniques and pass on those benefits to

Hello Everyone! Beyond a Steel Sky is well and truly on it's way, and the team here are working like crazy to deliver the best game we possibly can. With everything we're trying to fit in to the game, and a well as keeping quality high, development is beginning to take a little longer than initially scheduled. There's no need to worry, and this isn't a bad thing at all! Some of you may have spotted on our initial announcement press release that Beyond a Steel Sky would be coming out in 2019. We can now confirm that it will be releasing a few months later in 2020. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35777653/a7

We had such a blast, and the feedback couldn't have been better - a shame it all had to come to an end! For those of you who came along to play, we really hope enjoyed it! For those of you who couldn't make it, there'll be other opportunities soon! Amongst all the fun and excitement, Charles Cecil (who you may know as the Director of the Broken Sword series and co-founder of Revolution Software) also gave a talk about Redefining the Rules of Adventure Writing.
