News Post Thingie - CDH2 Reshined Devlog (07-Jan-2026)

"One Step, Other Step... Jump!"


I gave up on numbering each and every "News Post Thingie". Too hard to rember. So instead, I'm going to do subtitles! Plus, this new "branding" thing looks cleaner in my opinion. No longer will it just be random screenshots.

Anyway, heyo everyone, it's that one Cube guy nobody's heard about!

I know it is still a tad bit early to be making devlogs at my current stage of development (considering I have not even fully started coding yet, and I have not even finished all jumpscare assets yet), but who cares?

Let's get this show on the road, I need to sleep soon :p


Why is development taking so long?

It's not, I just take short power breaks here and there. Plus, final exams are coming up soon, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


When is CDH2 Reshined expected to release?

No clue.

The best I can say is before June 2026, but take that with a grain of salt, anything could happen during development.


How many characters will there be in CDH2 Reshined?

The eight characters from the original CDH2 return (of course).

So, more than 8 characters will be in the game.


How many cameras will there be?

Take a guess.

Hint: Cube's Dark Hours Reopened, Cube's Dark Hours 4


Will nights be the same length, or will they be shorter?

Base-game nights will remain the same length as they were for the longest. As for Night 6...

Okay, to be honest, not sure if Night 6 will happen in CDH2R. Its addition would feel forced. It could change further down into development, but for now, it is highly likely Night 6 will not be happening this time around.


CDH3 > CDH1R > CDH4 difficulty spikes were rather comical.
CDH2R won't be harder than CDH4, right?

I'll make sure CDH2R is on par with the difficulty as CDH1R. Because, let's face it, if CDH2R were more difficult than CDH4, I would delist the game there and then. Case closed.
...and then reupload it once it is easier than CDH4.


Will there be more visual effects than just Panorama (Zoom)?

Yeh :]


Where's the office interactable lightbulb?

I ate it. Had vitamins, like iron.


Will classic skins (CDH2 skins) return?

They're planned, yeah.

Although, something to keep in mind:

  • Not every character will have classic skins. This is due to some characters not existing in the original CDH2.

  • Doodlekat's classic skin will not return. I don't think the original owner really wants her original character's assets to be associated with CDH, and I respect that.

  • Although one character has a classic skin, their jumpscare does not have the "classic" variant... yet. Maybe eventually, unless I forget.


How different is the story compared to the original CDH2?

While the setting is the same, there are many things different that are barely comparable to the original. Just take the fact there are door halls now instead of vents in the office.

If anyone finds resemblances to the original CDH2 (characters and classic skins do not count), I'll give them a cookie crumb.


Will other menus get a redesign like the Achievements Menu?

One menu I would like to look into is the Custom Night menu!

I won't share what I have planned, but I think you'd all like it :]


Will original VAs return?

I mean, I guess I'm returning... I think?

As for others (like the Tape Messages VA, or character VAs such as Anty), well... not sure. Might take a new approach. Time will tell.


Will CDH2R have beta builds?

Surprisingly, yes!

Although, they will be private and whitelisted to a few select people. There are no plans to release public betas.


Will CDH2R get a game page early?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


That's all for today.

It is almost 4am, I needs to sleep.

Take care, stay safe, God bless!

Don't know what the context of this one is.

Uhm.

Uh.

( ノ ゚ー゚)ノ

I think I've been drawing a bit too much Fizz.

She's fun to draw I guess.

"Alternate Dimension"

"Fionna & Cake Inspired"

Yeah, whatever. Cube in an alternate universe. Human Fizz in the background, having never seen Cube nor a giant sentient free-willed advanced being ever in her life.

Because why not?

Happy New Year, POPGOES fans!

Here's a summary of some of the best POPGOES things that happened in 2025. What were your favourites?

move already bruh what are you looking at

Into the Water

Fizz and Cube's meeting could go in many ways, but this one idea that popped into my mind was too funny not to draw.

Got bored, so I sketched a Steampunk(?) outfit idea for Fizz.

Nostalgia-Bait Springtrap

Well, it works, I guess.
