Because it looks like IP’s release won’t be anytime soon due to me making this project more and more ambitious, i’ve decided to finally end the radio silence over this project, update the description and also answer some of the questions you guys may have about it!

Gentlemaniac, What exactly is Initiative PURPLE?

It is a retelling of the 1000 Rooms at Spooky’s story as a more traditional game this time around + the sequel to it (Basically the Popgoes Reprinted equivalent to the mod’s story!). With the first, You will get to experience how a good-willed initiative turned into an endless nightmare, and also get to know the backstory behind many enigmatic characters of the original mod, such as The Anomaly. In the latter you will get to play as 7200a0, as he tries to free the remaining souls of the facility and tries to ends this horror once and for all. Needless to say, it will not be made in the SHoJ engine, and will be a standalone game. I’m still not revealing what engine will be used though.

Why isn’t it out yet?

To be honest, I wanted to release IP somewhere around march, but the original project for the game has changed a lot and tons of new stuff have been added to make up for a better experience and game in general. The og idea was just to have a short playable section and then a massive lore dump with an ending shortly after. Not very fun if you asked me.

Can I help you with the game?

Yes actually! All you need to do is PM me clarifying what you could help with. If there is need for that, and you are up to the task, I would gladly recruit you to the team.

When will the game be released?

For now, I really don’t have a specified release date. I plan for it to be somewhere around August, Septemeber or October. I want it to be as polished and good as I can. To be honest, true full-force development will only begin after the 1000 Rooms at Spooky’s 1.1 update will be released, which hopefully will fix a lot of the plot holes and other shmizzles of the vanilla version.

Why all the silence with the game, Gentrolunatic?

Well, thats the thing, I have been only silent on gamejolt… In the discord of the mod/IP i’m very active, always posting news about stuff. If you want to join, here’s the link: https://discord.gg/kPrCtxw .

So, thats all for now, I guess. So… I guess I will start doing semi-frequent development updates from now on. Feel free to ask anything about the game in the comments; I will answer it as long that it doesen’t involve spoilers. Oh, and I also did some minor updates to the page’s description.

PS: late Happy Easter! :-)
