Hello everyone,
When we first released Forgotten Hope back in May 2021, it was a deeply personal passion project created by three friends during the lockdown. We wanted to tell a story about healing, mental health, and finding light in the dark. We are still so incredibly grateful for the love, reviews, and support this community has shown us over the years.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the next massive chapter for the game.
Black Hammer Studios has officially partnered with Games by IGE! Joining the IGE family has given us the resources and support to go back and polish Forgotten Hope into the definitive experience we always dreamed it could be.
To celebrate this milestone, Version 1.5 is officially LIVE right now! We’ve read your feedback, analyzed the reviews, and spent the last few weeks overhauling key parts of the experience.
Here is everything waiting for you in the 1.5 update:
🎙️ Audio & Narrative
Full Voice Overhaul: Complete studio re-recordings for Hope, Mother, and Grace
Subtitle Fixes: Resolved a few subtitle issues previously found in Act 2.
🌲 Gameplay & Graphical Enhancements
Overall environment color/ambience adjustments
Lighting fixes
Improved optimization
Visual improvements for memory point cards
Headbobbing disable option
🔧 Bug Fixes
Controller/ Mouse pointer issues
UI water reflection issues
Whether you are returning to the woods or following the white wolf for the very first time, we hope you love this new, elevated experience. Thank you for walking this journey with us.
And one more thing...
This partnership with Games by IGE isn't just about revisiting where we started; it’s about where we're going next. Forgotten Hope was our foundation, but we are already brewing up new ideas for our next title. Stay tuned, because we have a lot more stories to tell.
Stay cozy and stay hopeful, The Team at Black Hammer & 'Games by IGE'
