Final Orbit 2
6 years ago

So here's a list of all that's wrong in Final Orbit so far and how I'm trying to fix it:


1: Probably best to avoid the Windows version until I release version 0.1.1! The game crashes because of a silly error. I've fixed it in the next patch.

2: There's a weird floating square in the Windows version. Anyone playing a functioning version of the game would see those messages at the bottom of the screen, for example "You crashed into the Moon" or, as I like to call it, the Captain Obvious messaging system. I don't know why this translates to a ominous black floating square in the Windows version or how I'm going to fix it but my plan it- write that script from scratch using different methods and expect vastly different results.

3: The bloom shader cuts off the lower third of the screen. Why? Possibly due to the way I change the window size. How do I fix it? Maybe try using a different method of changing the window size or programming a new bloom shader?

4: The lighting engine, as of right now, completely poops itself. Firstly, it renders nothing but black, then it crashes entirely. Solution? New lighting engine? No lighting engine? I'll see what I can do. The lighting engine isn't exactly important.

I'm working on fixing the issues stated. I'll let you know how it goes!

Going Down, psychological horror RPG about difficult choices and memories best forgotten on an elevator ride.

The story of 'Going Down' is falling into place nicely. The visuals are looking lovely. The atmosphere is spooky with more than a touch of mystery.

I am very happy with progress!

Going Down is now on Steam! If you like what you've seen so far, we'd appreciate a cheeky Wishlist!

We've been quiet but busy. Time for an update!

I really must congratulate the first official player of Final Orbit 2 for their committal!
