Devlog 2


Devlog 2

It's the end of November, and I feel like I got quite a bit done this month in terms of progress.


--- Updates ---

Now completed:

  • Voicelines for Character 1 and 2

  • Various voiceline scripts for Characters 4, 5, 7 and 8

  • Character 1's jumpscare animation*

The voiceline scripting doesn't take long, since I have a general outline for the characters and story. Character 1 and 2 are now fully voiced.

*Character 1's jumpscare animation is finished, but it still needs to be rendered. This can be done when the office is fully rendered.

--- Bugs, Glitches, Challenges and Fixes ---

Throughout development we have found:

  • Character 1 moves far too quickly, often got to the office before Character 2 could even move once. Not necessarily and issue with the code.

Changing the overall difficulty for Character 1 would be beneficial, will try and balance this during December

Planned, decided or added:

  • Characters have an adjustable star-rating, out of 5 stars. This will function as a difficulty rating, with 1 being the easiest (and the default rating for the nights) and 5 being the hardest.

For the demo release, this will not be utilized. This is only for the full release.


TLDR - Voicelines are getting done, Character 1's jumpscare is almost finished, and difficulty rating will be added to the full release.

Character 1 - Freak

Guess who?

As you wish. Here are the designs for Camera 5 and Camera 12. Any guesses as to what their purpose is?

I just thought I'd mention it here, I'm currently taking commissions!

Placeholders for Character 1. Maybe later this month will bring more...

Fan art of Mechabuyte from Animator's Hell! I had a lot of fun making this one. Taking the time to shade like I used to for the first time in a while really helped the final product.

Animator's Hell is made by the lovely individuals over at @GestaltGames

Merry Christmas! Say hello to Character 1: Freak!

Another fun one, my favourite part had to be drawing the hands poking out of his chest.
