Hello everyone! I’ve taken the time to step back and look at the current progress being done for the game this week. I’ve gone through the kind of tedious process of updating the old and a little something new. So let’s start another dev. log!

Updated Assets:
The game’s assets were being constantly updated at different times with different visions for the game’s final version. Now that there is a solid plan put in place for where the game is heading, I’ve begun to update the sounds, textures, and models from the original base game into something new. Even things from purchased assets have begun getting newer textures into something more fitting for the game. Sound design is a crucial part of any horror games so I’ve also updated the placeholder creature sounds. All of these changes make the subway system feel more lived in, realistic, and creepier.

ARG:
I’ve begun the official ARG for the “End of the Line” universe this week. The “End of the Line” universe can get fairly complex so I wanted a way for viewers to dip their toes into the basics before purchasing the game for themselves. The main story of the ARG follows the kidnapping of Gregory Holland, setting up the events for the first game. This is tremendous progress in terms of story and immersion!

Merchandise… and more?
Last week, I asked you guys to vote on how you would best like to support the game and what options could be used for financial support. As the votes came in, it became clear that merchandise was wanted in one way or another. So I came up with quite a few merchandise designs based around “The Defiance”, “The F.S.A.”, and the core “End of the Line” game. These designs are being improved and some more may be commissioned from experienced artists. Whatever I do, I will assure everyone that it will be quality. Expect an official announcement video in March showing off a few designs and products. So far, I’ve decided to sell the merch on “Teespring” a popular print on demand company! They have a large range of products and I’ve bought from them before. Before anything is permanent, I would love to ask any willing volunteers to come up with designs, fan art, or any kind of fun inspiration! (These designs will NOT be used on any merch without YOUR EXPLICIT PERMISSION) I’ve also been setting up a website as a hub for all information, content, and more! Expect more info next week on that!

Thanks again guys. We really have been giving out a lot of support so I will keep producing great things. Expect lore-based videos, some behind the scenes, and much more coming VERY SOON!
