DOLL FACTORY STATUS UPDATE (+ teaser) - Feb 5, 2024

(ARTICLE)


A couple things have changed since my last post a couple days ago. The main thing is that I have yet again changed how I want story mode to flow.

I am now planning for the story mode to feel like its own game, rather than 3 different minigames with a story strangely placed within. I previously stated that I had about 33% of story mode finished, but that may change drastically depending on how I decide to move the story forward.

The main thing that can set the story mode back is whether or not I keep the first 1/3 of the game. It's set in the same office as custom night and has its own little minigame which is pretty fun and I really like it, however it may not end up fitting. I'll come back to that at some point.

The OTHER big change is that I will now be focusing on the puzzles & story, rather than an AI that will hunt you down during puzzles. I want a game that'll be fun and won't be too difficult for players, and keeping AI to a minimum would be a good way to keep it easy, and adding puzzles and other things will still keep it fun.

I'll also begin integrating the story soon. I have been putting it off in order to get some of the main gameplay elements complete, but I will resume story writing again soon.

Let me know your thoughts on these changes and what you'd like to see :)

I'm currently on vacation so I have no time to post about updates, so I'll be sharing some scrapped content!

Here's a look at a scrapped enemy: The Forgotten

These were eventually replaced by "The Shattered", which I think turned out much better!

Vacation is halfway over so here's some more scrapped Doll Factory content!

This is a sequence which would've taken place after the big conveyor room. It was made to introduce a scrapped boss fight with the Stalker enemy from the Custom Night!

Introducing... Sammi Clicker!

In Doll Factory's upcoming 1.2.0 update (Jan 25th), you'll be able to play this fun little clicking minigame. I'm interested in seeing how high of a level you all can get to once this drops!
