So I thought i’d let you guys know about the current progress on this little project so far. There’s been a fair amount of progress, but for me it’s been a case of sometimes I want to work on the game, and other times I don’t. So i’ve actually finished implementing the room movement controls, and finished all of the rooms that you can go in. I’ve went with for the most part just a fade out to black and fade back in, but there is one of the room transitions that is an exception to that. I also have a solid idea on where every camera is going to be positioned throughout the location, as well as rethinking some of the post-night sections. (Yes, there is planned to be more than just ONE tiny end of night minigame.) But I also want to know what you guys want when it comes to me releasing a demo, so that I know ahead of time what you guys want out of demos of the game. Do you guys want a night one demo (option A) (which will take the shortest amount of time to do compared to option B, but won’t showcase the variety in mechanics as well as option B,) or do you guys want a two night demo (option B, which will take longer to do than a one night demo, but will showcase the variety in mechanics better.) (I will also make a two night demo as well if you guys decide to choose option A) I will include a poll at the bottom of this devlog post, and will let you guys decide, as I want to show you guys that stuff is getting done with the game, albeit rather slowly. I will also keep the poll’s results hidden from you guys until the poll is over, to ensure that you guys feel comfortable making what decision YOU want, instead of what EVERYONE ELSE is choosing. Until next time…
Current progress on the game and Community Poll #1
Next up
V2.0.0 Released
I managed to do a thing and make the filesize smaller, at the cost of some audio mixing issues and slightly worse audio quality in spots lmao...
Testing new graphics for main night level movement buttons, any suggestions or changes I should implement? (These new textures will not affect gameplay/hitboxes, they are purely visual.)
Touched up the basement level camera graphics again, and I'm much happier with them now. Just bright and clear enough :) New vs old example (my favorite one out of all of them) :
Found some unused audio files in the game's files, and compiled what I found into a video. Enjoy!!! :)
Here's another one of the tip pages, to show that I'm not ded lmao:
Progress... Visual effects, some camera effect reworks, lighting tweaks, and Springlock Lucifus jumpscare implemented. New jumpscare sounds for Prototypes (basement), as well as Maskman and Metal Maskman.
2.0.1 Patch (due to me forgetting to change the achievement tied to the extras in the menu to the easy difficulty one) Also renamed the application file to The Horde: Revitalized instead of THR NEW.
Release Candidate 1 of the new update has been publicly released. Merry late Christmas, I decided to release what I have at the moment for people to play, and there's a questionnaire link below to suggest changes.
I've released a demo showcasing a bunch of proposed changes for the updated version of the game; namely a complete overhaul of the heating mechanic. There's also a Google Form for after you play the demo build, to give feedback.
