21st April 2025 "news post thingie 5" for you know what already


Heyo, how are you all doing today? I hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter!

I won't waste your time any longer, so let's get on with this devlog (if it even is a devlog at all):


Why did you post a Main Menu concept image yesterday?

Who said that was a concept image? The screenshot is final, and Classic Cube is just a reminder that the Classic skins exist.


You do realize the GameJolt API didn't work, right?

Yeah, I know, and I should've expected that. I have absolutely no idea on how it works or how it is supposed to be implemented. I tried following a tutorial, which only led to, well, nothing.

I'll revert the so-called "update" to the April Fools demo (who knows, it may already be reverted by the time this goes up). I'll also most likely remove the badges on the game page. Would've been funny if I kept it, but best not to.


Did you hint at how one of the easter eggs is achieved?

The "Squeak. Squeak. Squeak." and "new office section" part from yesterday's post?

I guess I did. Most of you probably already know what "Squeak." means, so you won't have any trouble figuring it out.


Is there a possibility there may need to be a "nerf gun" update like in Cube's Dark Hours 3 v1.0.3?

Can't say for sure, if I don't get carried away, that is :p

Realistically, there may be a possibility, but I'll have to wait on your opinions first before making any changes. In my opinion, Night 6 may be the most requested one to nerf a bit, but we'll just have to wait and see... :]


How different will Night 6 be?

Well, one thing is for sure, it won't be a kind of "base game skin" like it was in CDH: The Pricklz or "base game remix" like in Cube's Dark Hours 3. This time around, in CDH1 Reopened, Night 6 will shake things up much more...


Will Night 6 explain what has changed?

There probably won't be any explanations as to what has changed, because The "Shadow" doesn't like playing by the rules.

At the very least, the Game Over screens will have tips on what to do.


Is there a possibility CDH1 Reopened may release earlier than August 12th??

Time will tell. Right now the only thing I'm thinking about with this game is actually taking as much time as I need.


Do you plan on getting more help in the future?

VAs are a possibility, not sure about artists, programmers, etc., you know?

In my mind, I just imagine the situation to be weird: Me asking random people "hey, come work on my game with me!";

This is probably not how it actually may end up going in reality, but it's still definetly an odd concept for me. The best I can say for now is: Time will tell.


Can you give us one more screenshot?

here you go:

Can you give us more? :>

nah


Do you have plans for any other skins?

Not yet. Currently, the only skins that are going to be in the game are the Classic skins, nothing more.


Will some "goodies" from the Extras Menu (from the original game) make it into CDH1 Reopened?

Yeah, they already have. Don't expect Doodlekat to be there, she's nowhere to be seen in Reopened.


Will there be any new characters?

Nope, the focus will be kept on the core five (and The "Shadow"), just like in the original game.


If Night 6 will "shake things up", does that mean there will be two Custom Night variants like in Cube's Dark Hours 3?

That's up to you to find out :p


That's all for now!

Take care, God bless!
