Dev Notes 1/12/26


Hey, it's been a while. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year's! Now, it's time to put some more updates for the game, cus unfortunately, I didn't post the game by the end of 2025. I'm sorry for that-

Custom Night

Custom Night is going smoothly. Almost everything is ready for it. I have Custom Night available at the start of the game, but certain characters will be locked until you complete the main game. This includes locking challenges from being able to be played until this time. This is so you don't jump head-first into the extras without having everything experienced for certain things. I have NOT YET tested All-Max Mode, because I've been scared to-

Extras

Just like the custom night, certain characters will be locked until you beat the main game. This is to be "spoiler-proof" for anyone and everyone. This will also lock the "Behind-the-Scenes" feature for safety measures because I'm sure we will have some of those there too.
Also, all characters now have skins made and implemented! So that will be fun to see people's reactions to them.

Secrets

As you may know, like how in RotP V1, there was pieces of paper you needed to collect for the "true ending". Well, there will be something like that for Part II since it's not present in RotP V2. I won't say what it is, but I will say that it's fully ready. 100% coded and everything for you guys to be able to seek out soon enough.

Additional Mentions

The office has been rerendered for the billionth time. I know it's like that, but you can thank Blender for updating lightings. Everything is pretty much ready to go except for the Phone Gal's voice lines. One thing after another, as soon as she had free time, she got sick. Hopefully she can get well enough and squeeze time in to record her lines. I also renamed the "Chill Out Cove" to simply "Chill Cove". This felt needed for simplicity and logic. It still says "Chill Out Cove" in the banner of the camera renders right now, but I hope to change that before the full release.

Lastly, I just wanna say that there is a new cameo on the Camera Monitor that I'd like to point out! I'd like to thank @silverxcristal for allowing me to add one of her GJ stickers as a sticker on the monitor just for fun. Be sure to follow her if you haven't. She's very well-known in the FNAC and Popgoes communities.

Anyways, that's all the updates I have for now. Progress is picking up quickly while we await the final piece to be set. I'm not rushing the VA because I understand her situation. So, if you can, try to cheer her on in a positive and polite manner in the comments below.

I know people like percentages, so if I had to give this game a percentage....I'd say about 92%-94% completion of the game. We are so close yet not quite there yet. Thank you all for your kind patience. I know it's been a very long time for this to be done, but I'm doing my best with my team to have this completed with good care.

Until next time!

I wasn't part of @silverxcristal 's Achievement Collab, but I still wanted to do one regardless. She chose one, and thus, here is the result. Hope you all like it!

Tired of your videos looking choppy? Not anymore! Say hello to the "Anti-Static" Option! This can be toggleable at the Menu, so if you're afraid of any recordings losing bitrate, turn that sucker on. But for the full experience, leave it off
