The Horde: Revitalized

I've kinda returned from hiatus


Hey guys, it’s been almost a month already, huh. I kinda got bored of the side project for the time, so I’ve decided that it might be best for me to alternate between the two whenever I feel bored of one. This might not speed up development of this game in particular, but I feel like it might things somewhat productive. I know that it’s stupid that i’ve just stopped this project for a while time and time again, but I just keep losing motivation for the game. But there are days where I still get things done with the project, so i’m not cancelling the game. I won’t give up on this THAT easily. And I don’t want to force myself to really crank on through the game, because I fear that the game wouldn’t be as good as if I took my time with it.

Besides, i’ve made some more progress (although a lot of this new progress is just animation redesigns where I felt they were needed. I’ve re-animated the turning around animation to have motion blur (thanks to me downloading Paint.Net,) as well as re-animating the panel-flipping animations as well. I’ve even trimmed those ones from around 15-16 frames down to 5, and managed to make them look better (Once again, Paint.Net… I LOVE it, helped me do things with certain animations that I previously couldn’t.) I will give an example or two down at the bottom of this post to showcase what I mean by this.

From here on out it should be making the rest of the cameras, adding in the two extra threats for Night 1, programming all of the AI for Night 1, and programming in all of the other features for the main night base mechanics. I know Night 1 is taking a REALLY long time, but it should be fairly easy weather from there up until a certain point (with the main nights, that is.)

As promised, here’s the gif animation comparision:

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.

Here's another one of the tip pages, to show that I'm not ded lmao:

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...

Lefunni Chompling Memes (I made these in 30 minutes, from random effects in Paint Net)

Some preview screenshots of how the hints system will LIKELY look in game. There's also a setting to disable the hints entirely, but they'll be enabled on a fresh save. (Or if the save-data Difficulty parameter is 0, which is the same as a fresh save.)

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.

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) :

Average The Horde: Revitalized player...

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.

Found some unused audio files in the game's files, and compiled what I found into a video. Enjoy!!! :)
