What is happening?
So, its been a minute, first off, HAPPY 2024! Now, obviously there is a whale in the room here, what happened? Well, its a mix of burnout, and life. Burnout is deadly, and i know it too well. Last time i worked on this game was early December. Not only this, but a lot is happening in my life right now, that's more important than re-making this game is! Such as, my graduation which is this year, applying to post-secondary, and getting a job. Many things have taken my time, but mostly burnout effected me. There is plans to resume this game, but please remember i'm just a single dev. Im also working on a much more popular game called SCP:Facility, which you can also find on steam. This game has much more popularity and i've been working on it with a developer team. My time is very small, and i want to leave time for family and friends. For now, and until i have more time and motivation, I am pausing development on this game. I understand if some of you are upset, however please respect the fact that I'm just a single guy, there's no team working on this game, its just me. Other games i have teams for now, I've learnt my mistake of trying solo dev, it is not easy. This game will be paused for awhile until i can dedicate proper time to it. Which may be awhile. Im sorry i havent told you all sooner, but I hope you understand. Much love to you all for the support of this game, it being me and my friends firsts (now just me). I appreciate everything. And to the students within Winnipeg that have taken note of this studio, and that have supported it, researched it, and more, thank you. Because it means more than you all know. I appreciate it, and I hope you as a student find your way in game development as i did. I was also interviewed by a student for my game development work, i was also interviewed by my local press. Its been amazing, and i couldn't've have asked for a better community around this studio and game. Thank you ALL so MUCH. I cannot thank you all enough, games...Read full article on Community Announcements (binarybart)AnnouncementsOfficial
October Progress Report
This is a report on the progress made in October, and although not much I have great reason to why. So, first off, let me show off this new map. There are features for each room in the top right that I don't feel are good enough to show you yet, but I'm sure next month ill have it ready. MANY more gameplay aspects are planned, including the ability to.... MOVE. This game is gonna get a LOT harder let me say that now. Below are some block-outs of this new map, this is the final block-out. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43481719/07c1ad725ad724b9e45abdcf2c3c52db35ec51c9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43481719/0e64bcb03456c310d1581b4b429495d9baeb56a0.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43481719/c6350e3314669e81a8a683669124b60509d22f6c.png So why has there not been any more progress?! Well its because I'm doing business with a man who goes online as AshDubh. Some of you may know him from stampylongnose, or iballisticsquid. Point is I've been busy with that and working with him on his upcoming Minecraft SMP, in which I am hosting. Along with future servers he plans to have. Its also good to let you all know in November & December don't expect much either, as I myself am actually in the said SMP, and would like to keep up to date with it. This does not mean there wont be any progress, it just means its not going to be like "oh here's a prototype" by then end of November. chances are the EARLY prototype will be out late January 2024 with a full release somewhere from May-July. Other than that o hope you all have an amazing day, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! - Aiden, Lead DeveloperRead full article on Community Announcements (binarybart)AnnouncementsOfficial
2.6.1 | New Graphics GUI + NEWS
The update for 2.6.1 has been released. Graphics options can now be separately changed in the main menu. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43481719/051c0f3d9dbd9f6c2bc1aa4b62aab7b56ff1c474.png Why Did this Take So Long? Let me explain why this took so long, Saving. Thats why. The game has something internally called Saveables. I created Saveables. Basically they are an easy way to write data to the save file. Unfortunately for me I dont know how it works anymore, and i have no clue what does what Because my genius thought it would be fun to not describe anything within the Core. Which is where Saveables are programmed. The core is a 4000+ line script that is essentially the core of the game. I forgot how many things in the game work due to rushed variable names and no comments.\ So saving no longer works. I destroyed it (it may still somewhat work sometimes) Most of you who have played this game before will now see a "Saving Failures" button in the main menu. This button will show data in the save file that wasn't loaded. Basically old Saveables that no longer exists in-game (removed feature, etc) Whats Next Then? A whole re-write of all the games scripts. This isn't easy, but with the new game mechanic you all voted on its best if i just re do the programming in the game. It allows me to fix all the bugs and make everything actually readable. No other changes then a complete re-programming of all the scripts. Ill keep you all updated with how this goes in the discord server (https://discord.gg/kqqHPPm2ZY) & here. Hope you enjoy the update, sorry it took so long.
