Mary's Arcade: Service Pack

Bringing Back the Dead


Working on Service Pack is giving me an opportunity to add things to the game that I either hadn't though of yet, or was restricted from adding by scope or engine capabilities.

On top of the loads of new things I've added I've found myself going back to the many unreleased betas for Mary's Arcade Classic (at the time called 'Project Mary') and found that there was a lot more to like than I remembered.

Some of the old room designs, slight layout differences, and old scrapped ideas spoke to me with new potential. Heck, the layout of the security office in Service Pack is more based on one of the Mary's Arcade beta offices than it is on the final release version.

Service Pack is less "Mary's Arcade with RTX" and more of a complete, fully actualized version of everything I imagined the game being throughout the various iterations and I can't wait for everyone to experience it.

Unfortunately, things still are taking quite a while. I've got work and plenty of other things eating up my time these days. Don't worry, I am not stopping any time soon, not even slowing down, just working steadily and making sure that SP is as refined as can possibly be.


Here's an early look at a resurrected room.

Localization efforts have been expanded to more areas of the game. Instead of just important buttons and labels on menus, I am now having as many elements as I can translated.

Where are you? Where's Mary?

I'm speechless

This week's #FanArtFriday celebrates the release of #SecretOfTheMimic!

Accept the quest to get started.

Literal bug-turned-feature. I am gonna make this happen if you try to move the window while there's no camera feed.
