Small Announcement
Hello everyone! I wanted to share a small announcement— actually, a few announcements. First of all, after thinking about it more, I’ve decided that I won’t be releasing the additional entity for The Dreaded Forest. There are a couple of reasons for that, but the main one is that I genuinely feel the game is already complete in its current form, and adding another entity with the mechanics I had planned would probably make it far too difficult and unbalanced. I know I mentioned earlier that I wanted to add it, so I’m sorry for changing direction on that. That said, this doesn’t mean the entity idea is gone forever — there’s still a good chance it will appear in one of my future projects. Right now, I’m working on a new game that leans into horror, shooting, and research elements. It’s still a bit hard to define exactly what genre it fits into, but I’ll be sharing progress updates through my Steam group: Cezster Development. I’m also currently working on a Discord server where I’ll be posting updates, sharing progress, and listening to your ideas and feedback. Once it’s finished, I’ll announce it here so anyone interested can join. Besides that, I also have a few ideas for a more sandbox-style game in the future. I’m still thinking through those concepts, so I’ll probably talk more about them and ask for your opinions once the Discord server is ready. Thanks for reading!Read full article on Community Announcements (APKA)Patch NotesOfficial
