Update on what's to come!


Hey everyone! I don't have a whole lot of really exciting stuff to share, but I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to be a little more specific about what's to come in the future!

I said a lot of these things in my recent post, but this'll keep things a little more condensed into a list (also without my paragraphs of ramblings) so it can be easier to understand.

  • Phobia: The Awakening's game page will stay up and so will Long Hours'.

  • Long Hours is put on hold, not cancelled. It will be changed to have the new characters in it, but the version including The Wiggles may (or may not) release after the final game is released. It will be in an unfinished state if it does though.

  • Phobia: The Awakening is getting a remake and will come out before Long Hours. The gameplay will mostly stay the same with minor adjustments to the mechanics, far more improved environments, and possibly more content as well!

  • The name of the series will be changed to something else more fitting rather than "Phobia". The subtitles such as The Awakening and Long Hours are very likely to stay, however.

  • The story is staying the same with some possible minor adjustments.

  • The new characters will still look like The Wiggles' weird freaky puppets and will have some nods to the characters they used to be.

  • Already existing original characters like The Figure, Mark, Cloggy the Clown and plenty of others are here to stay, as they are obviously my own.

  • The Awakening's remake should be out by next year. No promises, but I'm hoping for around May or June 2024.

  • Long Hours' is pretty far into its development already, possibly around 50% with lots of things to still do, but if the process of changing everything goes really well, it may or may not release around late 2024 or early 2025.

Take those two last ones with a grain of salt, but I'm putting them there just to give you guys an idea.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I won't be able to get too specific about details on some things for obvious reasons.

Hopefully this post clears things up if anyone was confused/had some questions!

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!

Happy day of completion to Phobia: The Awakening!

Please I don't know how to draw fans

The stream motivated me a lot, I'm really happy with this drawing!!

teaser for another weird as hell animation im making for my youtube channel. same universe the burger one takes place in btw.

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

Nightmare Mark

Phobia: The Awakening - Update 2.2 is now live!

No pranks today.

edit: nvm

Anyway have a look at the model of Mark's bedroom, which was supposed to be in other cutscenes that ended up being scrapped from Phobia: The Awakening due to a lack of motivation.

SUGGESTION BY @Sillylilman , MUEHEHEHE

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.
