Small update on Phobia's second chapter!


I know I've been very silent over the past few weeks about the sequel, but I'm not one to post a bunch of teasers for the game every few days or so, because I just personally think that teasers should be more for development milestones, though I also do think sometimes a little update every once in a while never hurts!

I'm going to be perfectly honest here, the game is going very slowly, but it is going surely, and I can't wait to share more in the future! Development for The Awakening was very similar to this just last year! Sometimes I had a week where I worked on it nonstop, and sometimes I had a week where I just couldn't bring myself to doing it at the moment. This added with me getting a job (an overnight one!) after I finished The Awakening, it's made things slower for me, but I'm always thinking about how I can improve and add to the game even when I'm not working on it physically!

Speaking of The Awakening, June 28th is its original completion day! There'll likely be more of a bigger thing I'll do on its Gamejolt release day, which is on August 27th!

Back to the sequel, don't ever be nervous about the game being cancelled. The only time that could truly happen is if I lost everything, but even then, knowing myself, I'd probably later pick it back up and just start over again from scratch. I tried idea after idea just to get that first game finished since late 2019, and I've even said "I'm just going to stop and make different things instead since nothing's working out for me" multiple times during 2020. But I am determined to finish making this series of fangames no matter how slow it goes! It's not because I feel like I have to, it's because I really want to!

Mother, I had just hatched from my egg and have been brought into this dark world, there is no need to hold me in such an embarrassing manner.

I once said on my stream that if the SHOWMAN’S animatronics were animals, they’d actually be a band of alley cats! I do have a drawing of Showman, who’d actually be named Tuxy, as I feel more fun names would better suit them as animals.

SHOWMAN! 1!1!1!

Giving Unreal Engine 4 another shot with a much more open mind so I don't fall into Tutorial Hell and get discouraged. So far so good! Feel quite a bit more confident in using it as of right now.

A joke I made with @Sillylilman that turned into a good idea for a drawing

3,000 followers is actually insane. I wouldn't have made a decade old series of shitposts into something genuinely so cool nowadays without you guys.

Phobia: The Awakening's 5th anniversary is on August 27th.

Just finished playing REANIMAL and oh my god this game was disturbing.

Loved it from start to finish and it’s up there as one of my favorite horror games I have ever played.

Happy birthday @itsizsgames !!!

I didn't want to miss the opportunity on drawing something for you, this is a little rushed sadly

Happy Holidays from Showman and his friends and family!
