Despite everything, V2 update


"Why are you making a v2 update if TRTA2 is cancelled?" Because i feel like it

so. hi

when i first released this game i was pretty satisfied with it, all things considered; it was a simple remake of a recently found lost media game, and that's all it needed to be.

However, as time has changed, so too, has my tastes for game design; and thus, I have come to a stark realization!

games like kinda boring

yeah the gameplay is fine enough for what it is, but where's the spectacle? Where's all the oddities from the original? Where's that shrimp I ordered yesterday sorry i couldnt think of a third thing

Previously I labored under the misapprehension that if something was too jank or strange when remaking something, it is better to remove it than to keep it intact.

this was coward behavior, as I feel this game has little individuality compared to the original OWAA (which i played all the way through recently). While you should try to improve on a game's flaws and cut some things out if they're too superficial or annoying too keep intact, I feel as if I went overboard in this case. also i didnt know there was a voice line that said "I'm coming for you" and that made me chuckle when i found out about it

So, the solution? Sometime in the future, I will be reworking this from the ground up; new visuals, new redesigns, new gameplay features, and best of all, widescreen! I will do everything I can to make this game the best it can possibly be if it kills me. Which it probably won't because how does that happen

I thank you all for your support for v1 sincerely, and I hope that I am able to deliver you something even better when the time comes

fnanl is pretty cool. surprisingly mechanically deep for a 2015 fangame

Guess I was bound to miss something (Patch)

TRTA2 character: Emerald Capone

Unused character fun fact: 4.0swald

upload already you fuck

the increase in budget (+$0) has not only allowed us to become wide, but also use gmod

Thinking of making a small expansion thing to this game next month. Nothing too big, probably just a few extra nights with some mechanics I didn't quite get to add.

I never really considered what this looked like from a third person perspective

i have 100%d the game one last time for the sake of testing and have squashed what few bugs remain. if nothing goes wrong in about hmmmm 3 or 4 days you guys get the game
