Tiny Devlog for The Awakening!

(plus, yet again five updated gameplay screenshots)


I just wanna start off by once again thanking @Bisctard , @TheresNoSteak , @SillyKat and @Mr_Malos for taking the time to test out the game to see how it ran. Surprisingly, it ran really well for all of them, but regardless I did a lot of work to heavily optimize the animatronics for the 3D scenes of the game, and from what I've noticed, there's been a pretty nice performance improvement, which is great news! Had it not been for them, a lot of hard work would have gone down the drain and I would have started over from scratch with new tools. That would've been very beneficial to me though, but I can always do that with a different game project.

As of lately, development has been going really well and I'm looking forward to seeing people's reactions to this thing. It's easily my best work yet, and I'm really happy that I'm able to revisit The Awakening and give it the polish and additions it absolutely needed.

I'm trying my best to get it out this year, but still, I can't guarantee anything! There's still so much to do. Fingers crossed it all continues to go well.

Anyway, have five new screenshots of the game. I know I already did this not too long ago, but there's been some tiny and nice changes I've made as of recently!

SHOWMAN'S: Long Hours

Now named SHOWMAN’S: The Shadow!

What will happen with it?

VERY exciting news for Range Engine came out a while back! 2.0 sounds really promising!

Thankfully I’m only working on assets, plans, and scripts for my games right now, so maybe 2.0pre1 will be out by the time I’m ready to do programming!

Trying to improve how I draw humans (which I rarely do) so I can give myself some actual reference for their updated 3D models and to give them some nicer stylization.

Also yes this is a concept sketch of Dean’s new design.

SHOWMAN! 1!1!1!

Now that SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening has been out for some time, what do you think of it?

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

Nightmare Mark

Happy(?) Night 6 night!

This is also the day I hinted at Night 6 last year, but people thought it was my birthday lol.

As of 2025, it has been 18 years since the events of Night 6. I do wonder what’s happened since then…

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.

Happy birthday @itsizsgames !!!

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

Big update on the overall SHOWMAN'S series!
