It’s been nearly two months since we last posted about Veritas, when we showed you all our shiny Glitch Camera upgrade, and in that time we’ve been hard at work re-working the entire beginning section of the game.
We decided that even though we liked what we had already, we really wanted this game to stand out from our others so we put on about three extra coats of paint and had a good dust while we were at it.
We now have a fully playable demo build of this first section, in a non-final state, that we hope we’ll be able to release in the future to get some early feedback from you.
For now though, here are some new screenshots. The eagle-eyed among you may notice a few of the scenes flicking past in the photo album post which will give you an idea of the difference these coats of paint have allowed us.
Please let us know in the comments what you think!

They look amazing! I am so excited to play the game and for you guys to launch!
And thanks for the update 🙂

Just replayed the FL series. FL3 was especially epic in size. Will Veritas be similar in scope to FL3? Also, “Think Outside The Box” was one of the biggest stumpers ever. Took me forever to figure out. Great work.
Graham
Jan 18, 2018 -
We’re hoping for a more FL2 sized game. FL3 took a very long time to make sadly.

looks a bit too dark…but fantastic!

Glad you like it!
We have a new brightness setting in the game and I may have had mine a tad low when I took the screenshots. For now, just tweak your screens brightness to get a better look and we’ll update them with brighter ones soon 🙂

I was thinking the same, and am so glad that the brightness can be controlled by the users. Another great glitch idea! Can’t wait.
Graham

It’s been a regular request so we’re glad we’re finally able to fulfil it.

Amazing work guys, like always. Looping forward for more!

Thanks! We hope to have more to show soon!

Looking great and can’t wait to play
How long do you expect the finished game to be? Longer than Short Tale… shorter than FL3? .. a bit in the middle…
Whichever, I can’t wait
Replayed FL3, What Remains and The Lost Room recently as I’m having withdrawal symptoms

At a guess I’d say FL2 length.

Thank you for your updates. I love your work and can hardly wait to play! I’ve replayed Forever Lost, All That Remains, and even Cabin Escape many times just waiting…
I wonder if a Glitch level, brick and mortar escape-the-room would be a worthwhile endeavor? Id certainly go.
Graham
Jan 18, 2018 -
It would be cool to make a real life escape-the-room but I think the cost would be too high for us. Maybe in the future though. How much do abandoned underground hospitals/schools go for nowadays?
Looweez
Feb 20, 2018 -
If they’re abandoned buildings, you just sneak in on dark and stormy nights …. and hope the spirits are resting peacefully 😂
Graham
Feb 20, 2018 -
Haha what could possibly go wrong!?!

looks amazing! I can’t wait to get in there! and it will be even better with the new brightness setting.
Graham
Jan 18, 2018 -
Thank you! We’re still deciding on the default brightness and so these screenshots are most likely too dark. My screen has an abnormally high brightness it seems so it lies to me.

Amazing work! Such incredible attention to detail. Very atmospheric.

Atmospheric is what we’re going for so very glad to hear we may be doing it right, thanks! 🙂

Looking good! My glitch itch is on high alert! You guys always have the best puzzles 🙂 And those extra coats of paint are looking mighty fine!
Graham
Jan 18, 2018 -
Hopefully the puzzles won’t disappoint in this one either 🙂
Thanks! I usually hate painting but this was fun 🙂

Again great work and I will forever be a fan… but I was wondering how you go about choosing what to work on? You’ve had Lunus: AE and Metus as TBD for years and then Veritas pops up as your next release. And The Lake… you’ve removed completely from the list.
Graham
Jan 23, 2018 -
As it’s just the two of us we can’t work on multiple games at a time, so really we just decide to work on whatever one happens to grab us most at the time.
We REALLY want to make both Metus and Lunus, however the story and setting of Veritas just happened to excite us more right now, and we want to work on what excites us most as it will make for a better game ( hopefully 🙂 )

Is anyone else already looking for clues in the screenshots like me? Can’t for the release !
Graham
Jan 23, 2018 -
Haha, nice and prepared in advance, I like that!
Abdullah

Graham and his crew !! They know what they are doing !!! Fabulous .. I can’t wait for the tracks and the music!!
Graham
Jan 23, 2018 -
Haha, “crew”, I’m not sure 2 people can be called a “crew” 🙂

My goodness. It looks incredible!! Your attention to detail is second to none – really do appreciate all of the amazing work you put in as the end result is such an immersive experience! Thank you, and really looking forward to playing Veritas in the future.
Graham
Jan 23, 2018 -
Thank you, it’s great to hear that and glad to see you’re excited for the game! 🙂

I’m checking site daily in case for some reason I don’t get an email – finger nails chewed to quick, insides of cheeks chewed to bits (dentist has just told me off for that) … aghhh.. I want the naughtiness, duplicity and secrecy of Veritas to invade my life … well just for a week or so
Graham
Jan 25, 2018 -
It’ll be a while yet so don’t drive yourself insane checking daily for news, fortnightly or even monthly would probably suffice 🙂

Hey Glitch Games! My friend and I are anxiously waiting for the release of this game! Its too bad that it wasnt able to be completed by the end of last year.
Do you have a clearer idea of when it will be finished? We are excited to play! And we have been saving for the release haha!
Honestly, any update? Thanks!
Graham
Jan 10, 2019 -
Hi Adam ( and Adam’s friend! )
We’ve got an idea for a date privately but we’re not ready to share it yet. We hope to post some updates on progress though very soon!

My step daughter and I are hooked! We’ve played every game starting with the forever lost series. These games have not only brought us close together but it really gives Lily a chance to think outside the box and between the two of us we get to follow the awesome story line you guys put together. We flew through All That Remains and have been waiting patiently for a new game from our favorite team. These images look awesome and we can’t wait to play it! Excited!
-Paige and Lily
Graham

Hi Paige and Lily! I can’t begin to explain how happy it makes me feel knowing that our games have helped bring you two closer together, truly an amazing thing!
p.s. my new daughter is called Lily, and strangely one of the strong contenders for names was Paige 🙂

Hey guys, just wondered if it’s still an early 2019 release date? No doubt it’s hard to judge, I just am hoping il get a chance to play it so thought I’d ask 😃
Graham
Feb 25, 2019 -
Hey Jenny, at present yes still early 2019. We hope to have more info soon ( which I know we’ve been saying for a while now )

Hi,
I was playing the game at the stage were you go in the virtual space ship and the game crashed. When I went back into the app I was back to the very start of the game! All my photos are still there but I wil have to play for hours again to get back to where I was
Graham

Sorry! Please update to 1.0.7 when available ( rolling out now ) which will fix the issues, then import a ready made save file to get back to where you lost it – https://glitch.games/support/exported-save-files/
