Hello everyone!

It has been a couple years since there was a concrete update on what is happening with Gravity Games, and CTHON. Here is what is happening:

When I released CTHON, it was under the name of a sole proprietorship, called Gravity Games. In the following years, I partnered with another developer in the same area as me and ever since we have been deep in development on a new game -- RUIN. During these last couple of years of development, we formed a company called Orbweaver Studios.

The CTHON community, even if it might be small compared to so many other communities, is extremely important to me. I can't help but smile anytime I see someone post something new in the Steam (EDIT: and Itch!) discussions, or the occasional video of it on YouTube. CTHON ended up vastly exceeding my expectations for how well it just... resonated with certain folks. That made me feel validated as a game designer, and made me realize that the worlds in my head that I try to convert to code and art -- those worlds have the potential to be great, because of you.

Over the last 1.5 years we've been hard at work on RUIN, overcoming countless technical and design challenges with flying colors (seriously, there are days where I can't believe what we have created so far was so awesome). While it is not another first person shooter or roguelike like CTHON, and not set within the same universe, if you've been waiting to see what I (now we) are working on next, I think you'll find that it shares much of the same rich science-fiction DNA with CTHON.

There is not a huge amount to show right now of RUIN, but be assured that we are working nonstop toward every milestone, and we'll be revealing much more in the coming months. This announcement is here to just let people know that, yes, we are still alive, and still doing what we hope everyone will love.

Because we are only three people, with two primary developers, we have limited resources. Right now, Gravity Games is in a bit of transitional period, where the names might change eventually, but its still the same mind(s) that are behind CTHON. In other words, Orbweaver is the continuation of Gravity, and we have the same mission: make games that we want to play, and hopefully you'll want to play too!

I hope, if you liked CTHON, you'll keep tabs on us to find out more about what we're up to in the next few months!
