I just got back on social media and am slowly catching up on stuff but your game is looking top notch dude. Super distinct visual style x1000.

Are these for 500 Caliber Contractz or just cool doods?

ya non-lethal for sure, that guy is definitely ok

Fair question! I would say, things that have been cut are mainly either things that never went anywhere meaningful to the story or felt like padding (like the pager) or scope of environments + puzzles (like a main quest use to have 4 - 5 steps to solve it but 2 - 3 serves it just fine)

I would've cut it, if it weren't for the fact that it was 99% done when I started reassessing the project LOL

it currently has A (singular) Tiger game lol

I'm (temporarily?) setting aside anything new I wanted to add and focusing strictly on finishing the threads that are there, as I still have significant things to do, like recording FMV footage.

All in all, I think this game will end up being around 6 hours long, which seems about right! 🤗

Thank you! Took much longer than I care to admit to get it ✨just right✨

I'm moving faster on 'Valley of Guilt' dev because I recently accepted that the original plan was significantly over-scoped.

Such as, the inclusion of a fully working Microsoft Encarta Mind Maze homage. (This did survive the cut though.)

As-is, I think I've already got like 3-4 hours of gameplay.

Isle of the Dead? If so 👏

Thanks man! That means a lot cuz I know you got a keen eye for that 90s stuff! I'm trying my best to grind this game out ASAP

You must fight fire with fire.

Tim Robinson is a national treasure!

Attempting to channel a little 'Amber: Journeys Beyond' vibe here:

Lol I thought about it but since I need to fill a suburban development area, I figured like 20 of the House Party house might tip my game in to shitpost territory

Honestly, it wasn't. Just put together a random layout using this modular house pack. That being said, if it invokes memories of Harvester THEN I'LL TAKE IT.

It wouldn't really be a 'corpsepile' game, if I didn't have you at least briefly explore a suburban house.

And no.
It's not HQ_Residential_House.
I have ✨m a t u r e d✨

I appreciate the vote of confidence!
I'm not sure this game will have mass appeal but I am confident it's going to scratch the lizard brains of a very specific demographic 😂

any shot you'll make these available as wallpaper? ☺️

I finally found this old clip!
I'm simulating screen tear in my 90's point and click horror game, mainly to replicate the aesthetics of that era.

But also, like, to do other stuff too.

"Scenes Around Town (at night), 1999"

Ive also changed the name of the game to "Minecraft 2"

lol ya the visual bags themselves are also (slightly) randomized

You can do it!

Debugging is the real game dev we made along the way or something

Its getting cold where I live, which is usually peak game dev time for me, so hopefully a lot more to come!

I think im going to slowly work back up to posting consistent game dev updates because I mainly develop "in a vacuum" and miss the feedback.

lol putting a minimum on it?
DIABOLICAL

I might cap it after a certain amount of attempts. Like 100 or something 🤔
