An update on Banned Memories' progress.


I’ve been working a lot on Banned Memories lately and I have changed and added loads of stuff to the game. These changes have not been applied to the currently playable demo version of the game, but will be present in the final product which is coming along very nicely.

Thanks to all your feedback I’ve been able to improve the things that required immediate attention as well as some minor issues that people had been having.

On a quick note, this is not the progress I’ve made over the course of 1.5 years. I had already made a different version that I lost due to a computer problem. This is what I’ve made since December 21st 2016.

What I’ve added:

  • Run function

  • Strafe function

  • Backwards walking function

  • Ten new rooms to explore (planning on at least 100 accessible rooms)

  • Five new tracks have been added to the games OST

  • Shotgun

  • Three new puzzles

  • CG intro

What I’ve removed:

  • All of the key-hunting. The player will need to solve puzzles to open doors. Most of the doors are already open though. The player will have access to all of the keys currently available in the game, so the locking mechanic will be there to stay.

  • Player character model. He’s gone and has been replaced by a more vivid looking character.

  • Monster. I’m currently working on my own designs. Consider the one in the demo a tribute to SH2. I found that one to be the creepiest in the entire franchise.

That’s it for now.
I may have forgotten some stuff, but I also don’t want to spoil anything.
Thank you all for following the game and supporting me!

So I've been re-designing Banned Memories' map.

Hi everyone,

I hope you've all had a fun and safe Halloween. This is a quick update on Banned Memories. The full game is around 75% done. I've added some new weapons, enemies and story elements to fully immerse you into Banned Memories. Stay tuned!

Hey everyone. Another quick update regarding the future of the project. After having dealt with serious memory leaks that causes RAM usage to skyrocket, I spent the past few months fixing just that. The game runs perfectly now and it's coming soon!

Hi everyone, In this small update I wanted to showcase some features that are present within the game.

The game will feature full controller support as well as rebindable keys for both keyboard and gamepad.

Also, better animations!

Stay tuned!

Hello! It has been a very long time since the last... well... anything about Banned Memories.

I am glad to say it is still in development and serious improvements have been made. I'll try to keep you all posted more from now on. All the best!

Hi everyone.

I have been working very hard on improving the game's environments, textures, models, animations, music and so much more to create the authentic horror experience I have always wanted to make.

Hey everyone, I'm definitely still working on it! It has been years since I released the original demo and I'm aiming to release the full game this year in Q3. Thanks for sticking around and catch you next time! - Noah

Regarding the last update; I decided to bring the project back to life. I was really burned out after losing most of the game after working on it for nearly a decade, but here we are. It runs a lot better and it's definitely coming along very nicely.

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since the last update, but there is some good news on the way.

I have finished almost all rooms in the entire game. The story is set and the graphics are getting their final touches.

Thanks for all the support!

I cannot possibly thank @Xor enough for helping me getting the special effects working on Hideo's model! The game looks a thousand times better! Thank you!
