Hey, Moof again. I’m the creator of this game and the main programmer. It’s been over a month since the original AFTEREFFECT has released at this point! I’m trying to be transparent with development so I’m going to be doing these update posts every so often.

As you’ve noticed through these teasers, some of the new content in DX looks more akin to a traditional FNAF game. So yes, I can confirm that AFTEREFFECT DX will have an office segment. How to unlock it and where it will be placed is up for you to find out, but all I’ll say is that it’s not a “Custom Night”. This office segment will appear during main gameplay.

This is a pretty big undertaking as its unlike any other content in the game right now (therefore its harder to program), but I feel like this is the right step for a new climactic story. So, please understand this will take some time to develop and balance it properly. I can’t even use old Vocal Nightmare code to help with it because Vocal Nightmare is a bit of a coding nightmare, so outside of some basic coding concepts carried over… its coded from scratch.

Mainly though, I want to be honest and say I’ve been suffering from a lot of creative burnout lately which has made it hard to develop content for AFTEREFFECT DX. Additionally, I’ve been doing a lot of intense game design college work, which often involves making games for college. So, last month I had to develop two games at once pretty much. The mix of just feeling somewhat uninspired as well as having to put a lot of work into college has resulted in a somewhat slower AFTEREFFECT development cycle, but this month I’m feeling a bit better and plan on putting more focus on this game as a result.

Please understand that I’m only one guy working on this game with some small help from friends. This is something I do on the side while my main focus right now is on college and other real-life matters. Still, I intend on making AFTEREFFECT DX a high-quality experience. Stuff just gets a bit rough sometimes! But instead of hiding away and abandoning the project like I might have done before, I just want to be transparent and push on. I promise that the extra time you might have to wait will be worth it.

Anyway, that’s it for me. Expect more AFTEREFFECT stuff soon! I’m going to try to push at a steady pace with new content but also balance it better with my life. Should be a nice change of pace! Have a great day.
