Addressing the disappearance of Long Hours’ game page.


I will start off by saying it is NOT deleted. I simply unlisted the game, and can bring its page back whenever I decide to (assuming that even happens).

I didn’t want people following the game or looking at its page when it’s just sitting around and collecting dust.

Some days I feel really interested in working on Long Hours again, some days I wonder if I should even bother doing it. I’m still very mixed about how I feel with these games.


Phobia: Long Hours had a lot of things to its gameplay that I personally disliked. It started off pretty different, but it got changed and some already functioning mechanics suffered from it. It was hard to get the gameplay to be the way it was.

I can’t lie, I really like the ideas I have had for this one though. All the other stuff I’ve had planned for the game has only improved with their plans, and I feel like it could be a really interesting experience.

SHOWMAN’S: Long Hours will only happen if I can get a far more improved version up and going. I have some ideas, so maybe it’ll turn out well in the end. If not, then the series won’t continue and I’ll drop making fangames in general.

I won’t announce anything right away, either. If I end up trying to make this game, I’m going to ensure what I’m doing has a visible and possible future before making any announcements.


I recommend you to keep your expectations low, but I can say the game is still possible to happen. The Awakening’s development has been nasty to say the very least, and it’s really drained me.

For now, only time will tell.

Something I've done recently is make some faked out shading / ambient occlusion effects using transparent PNGs. This makes the game look far better in the 3D spaces!

You'll be seeing updated and finalized gameplay screenshots soon!

Now that SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening has been out for some time, what do you think of it?
