Heyo everyone, it's that one Cube guy nobody's heard about! Yet again!!!

Sorry for the lack of news, I have been busy with the two-week final exams phase. But overall, CDH2 Reshined's development (although rather slow) has been going quite strong! I'm just about to finish up with my last exam at the end of this month, so I'll have some more time to get back into development!

Oh, uh, also, the final exams phase also broke my weekly devlog streak. Sorry about that.

Alright, let's-a-go:

How many characters are left to code in?

They are all complete. The original 8 characters from the original CDH2 and the new 'misfits' (I call them misfits because they either did not exist originally, or they didn't have a proper role) are complete. Same goes with mechanics (flashlight, camera, mask) and jumpscare assets (granted, jumpscare sounds are still not implemented).

This means the next step is to work on actual night progression! And, well, of course, get some VAs!

Do you realize how long it has been since CDH4 released?

• Alright, but jokes aside, the reason this game is taking this long is because:

  after CDH4's release, I was exhausted with making CDH3 and CDH1R and, well, CDH4, back to back. So I just decided to take a break from development. And no, not my usual one-week break phase, I actually spent a few months just to myself.

  All in all, as far as I remember, CDH2 Reshined has been fully in development for about 2-ish months.

Any news about CDH2 Reshined's game page release?

Just like prior games (besides The Pricklz), the game pages always released on the exact same day as their respective game's release date trailers.

However, this time, I'm not so sure if I can do a publish that late. Not confirming anything, but there's a high chance CDH2 Reshined might get a game page much earlier :p

Will you ever do modifiers for the Custom Night?

Probably not.

Not because it is hard to code in, but because it can get tedious real quick.

Will you ever add subtitles for the Fone Calls?

Ditto to the previous section.

What happened to the term "Tape Messages"? Why were they phased out?

Because a phone box and calling them "Fone Calls" were funnier in my opinion.

I mean, I guess on the dev-side of things, their sound files are still called tape messages (if that makes you happy).

What happened to the signature office top vent?

Sealed up.

Why do you think there's a Cube-shaped fan now and no AC unit?

You've shared some references of Bomes and Bowie (and probably others). Are they canon in the CDH universe?

It is not 1:1 (as they are just quirky nods), but parallel versions of them are canon-ish and do live in the CDH world, yeah.

Will CDH2 Reshined have cutscenes yet again?

Yeah, but with some differences compared to prior games:

• Only the New-Game and End-Game cutscenes will be in my traditional style

• Most cutscenes will be in a specific unique style

• One of the post-night cutscenes is quite special.. :]

I might get additional artists for these kinds of specific-styled cutscenes, or I might do them myself, not sure. For now, just take this section with a grain of salt, as this is just speculative and not confirmed.

Will modding be supported?

...What makes you think I could possibly do such a thing??

Is this game bigger or smaller than you originally planned?

This game's a little bit ambitious not going to lie. But overall, the scale that is planned is still the same for now.

Are you planning to re-implement some horror aspects or are you leaning towards humor?

As much as I like humor, I think I want to try a more hybrid approach. Not fully horror, but not fully humor. A thriller maybe (where both horror and humor can co-exist), but let's see how it chugs along.

Did you rewrite anything from scratch?

I recoded the flashlight many times because it kept breaking for some reason. Everything else works great.

What’s one thing you’re weirdly proud of in this game?

A specific post-night event.

And also a certain action that players have to do in the Save Slots menu to break the game (just saying, whatever you do, do not spam menu jump hotkeys mid-transition).

When is the release date?

Nice try pal.

I'll dedicate this section to a couple questions from the previous devlog:

• How will later login Screens or menus for later remakes be like? will they be like CDH2R or holy new? (by /IHasAFaceLULZ24)

  Login screens will most likely build on the same foundation as CDH2R (login through the bottom of the Settings in the Save Slots menu)

• ---

  (Not about CDH2R) Will there be a remake for CDH4 or you still think the game holds Up? (by /IHasAFaceLULZ24)

  CDH4 still holds up, I don't think there is a need for a remake.

Alright, that's all for today.

Take care, stay safe, God bless!
