It’s been quite a while since the last devlog related to the game was published. Since then, there has been some developments that I would like to talk about today. In addition, I would like to show off some of the fanart the game has received and give shoutouts to their creators. Let’s get started.

Upcoming Final Patch

As the heading implies, there is going to be a final patch for Dormitabis. This patch has been in the planning stages for quite a while and aims to rework large parts of the story.

Most of the scripts for Garvey were written back in 2015 and 2016. As Reddit and other sources were quick to point out, they are rather edgy. I couldn’t really agree more with that, to be honest. The Blackout of that time period was most certainly not exactly an award-winning writer, to say the least. The new patch aims to fix the tapes by reducing the amount of edge from Shadow the Hedgehog to Microsoft.

Also, I’ll be able to get rid of the sexual violence tag, if you catch my drift.

Phone Calls, while less edgy, were rather cluttered and confusing. While writing them the first time, I didn’t exactly focus on what is necessary - teaching the player the gameplay mechanics - and instead on attempting to make them sound like i’m some wannabe smartass with whacky writing techniques. This will also be fixed. I aim to make them a lot less hard to understand and a lot more informing, and also, to cut down on the length of the Night 1 Phone Call. Jesus christ, it was long.

Finally, as a cherry on top of the cake, the Bootleg-Doge Ending will have LESS bootleg and MORE doge. By which I mean, the Bad Ending will no longer look like a chinese version of the Popgoes ending.

Blackout is not dead

A while ago, I made a devlog about how I would be quitting GameJolt and no longer be using the Blackout Logo or Username. However, I recently decided to go back on this decision. I realised that while I may be able to plan complicated projects and design them well, I don’t have the resources to create a decent first-person shooter in Unreal Engine 4. Shocking, right?

Therefore, I have decided to return to this platform once more. And indeed, I will also be returning to the development of fangames. A new project has recently entered early concept stages, and I will potentially be posting updates on this in the coming months. Before you get your hopes up however, a disclaimer.

This new project is unrelated to any projects I previously worked on. This includes Insanity and Dormitabis, as well as various games of the Five Nights at Treasure Island variety. No official 5.0 for you, sorry. But I guess you still have the Aplha that AnArt1996 made.

I won’t be losing too many words on the new project at this current moment. Just consider it confirmed - that’s all I’ll say about it.

To celebrate, I recently 3D-Printed my logo as a Keychain. Check it out!

Fanart Compilation

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at some of my favorite Dormitabis Fanart! Please don’t harass anybody here if you dislike their art, just move on with your day.

Rustywolf14 drew up some Dormitabis Characters as part of a Reddit Request, and I really enjoy their artstyle! Specifically, Chica.

thehanizoo made a sketch of Havoc Chica that has to be one my favorite pieces of Fanart, mostly because I actually enjoy the rugged nature of such sketches quite a bit.

SmolPuppet26 made some art of the B.O.A, and there isn’t much to say about it. Again, I enjoy this artstyle quite a bit.

LugiBoi put some unappreciated variants of Springtrap on the big screen, including Mr. Edgelord himself, Garvey.

WeAreNotStupids made some edgy fanart of the Havoc Puppet. Similiar to the sketch from thehanizoo, this is quite enjoyable to me.

Finally, Oiiku made some fanart of Golden Call in the style of Five Nights in Anime. This is mainly here because it was commissioned by Distorted Mouse, and I thought it was worth a meme spot on here.

And that’s pretty much it! I hope today’s devlog was a nice change of pace. Check out the artists featured today and remember that this game is not quite finished - yet!
