Update on "the thing" and that trailer (I need to get this off my chest.)


Hi, this is Joel writing.
So i made that teaser trailer a week or so ago… and i’m not proud of it, not even in the slightest.
It was rushed, it was badly edited and planned out. I have taken it down to make room for a much better trailer when Part 1 of this game is ready/almost ready.
I guess i made it because i thought i needed to make something for the followers and viewers of this game to sink their teeth into, when i should have just waited for a more complete product to create the trailer, as to not disappoint anyone.
I hope you understand.

Now for “the thing” (which is probably the stupidest way to market something now that i look back on it -_-).
“The thing” was suppose to be a demo, a short playable teaser of the game.
This was also because i was in a head space where i felt as i needed to release something for you guys/girls to sink your teeth into.
“The thing” is practically finished. But i refuse to upload it. Because to be frank… its shit.

A demo and/or teaser is meant to represent the final product to draw people in. This barley represents the final product at all.
Even at the time of making it i didn’t even have everything ready to make the first part of Deception, but now i almost have everything i need to make a complete 20 minute or so experience that can be completed, with a full options menu and voice acting, etc.

Finally the last reason why i didn’t think that “the thing” represents the game well is because…. this game has character, it has a charm to it.
On the outside it may seem like some generic horror game with robots like Five Nights at Freddy’s. But with the characters (Especially Jerry the Jester) and story, I’ve tried my best to make them unique and give this game a charm.
Something different to other horror games. This game has comedy and not like Sister Location with about two jokes.
This game is like a full on comedy when Jerry the Jester is around (which he pretty much always is) and then gets super intense during the horrific moments.

That is what i picture this game being. A dark and horrific scary game with a unique comedy twist that actually pulls it off… and i will not accept feeding fans any less than perfect for this game.

Now a quick message, be careful when going down the elevator… its very unstable.

Love you all.

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
