Hey everyone,
It's been a long long time since the last update, but I have good reasons for that and hopefully you enjoy the work that has gone into the game so far.
New Logo
First things first, you probably noticed is that we changed the logo and for the better too Rebecca was awesome enough to put up with us for our nit picking to get it the way it is now so thank you Rebecca xD.
Animations
We updated the player sprite animations (WIP) as you can see from the gifs here.
This has inevitably changed the direction of our story to something a little easier and will be teased in a trailer when we're ready to show it.
New Levels, New Mechanics
Image Above: A good friend of mine asked to be in the game and what better way than to name a level after her, if you haven't noticed she is a fan of cats, and this cat in particular is very popular.
We've been working very hard on new levels adding in new mechanics of the world for the players to discover and interact with two of which we are really looking forward to playing with in the near future.
New Music
Rhyss has been hard at work completing tracks for Mr. Grayscale, it's becoming a nice blend of pop punk meets chip tune / synth wave. Instead of writing about it I'm just going to leave this link here so you can have a listen for yourself and enjoy.
Rhyss Davies will be selling the soundtrack upon release of the game and there will be a bundle deal once released.
Release Dates
We have a little bit of bad news, unfortunately the release date for Mr. Grayscale has been pushed back to make sure we have a quality product released upon launch. We are now aiming for an October release. The latest it will be will be February but we are pushing and aiming for an earlier release. Soon we will have an official launch date based on how the project unfolds over the next coming weeks so stay tuned with us.
Erie Studios
A new indie studio has been born!!! We would never want to finish on bad news so I saved this one for last. Over the past couple of months I have been working on getting a legal entity set up for distributing Mr. Grayscale.
Erie Studios is an Irish based company that is all about the love of games and the love of the craft of making games. Visit our site here: Eriestudios.com

So we have a new logo, we are working on new animations, new levels and mechanics have been made, Rhyss is making new sounds and the release date has been pushed back and Erie Studios is born.
