Hello everyone, I'd like to thank everyone who has followed and supported my project so far. I've made various teasers and promotional stills that showcase the themes and motifs that'll permeate throughout the course of the game. But until now I haven't given proper context as to what has been in development for the past six months so I thought it would be a good opportunity to compile my plans for the game and showcase what I've been working on so far.

Behind the scenes I can promise that everything is coming together smoothly, I've had a couple setbacks with programming and modelling but always consider the fact that this has been mostly a one-man project and that I've had to handle most of the work myself. I'm approaching game development in the same manner as FALLEN HOPES and ASTRO, as a majority of the assets are handled by me and few other people that I trusted. This approach will stay consistent throughout the project, so unfortunately I won't be willing to recruit anyone for this project but I may reconsider that decision for new projects that I have planned for this year and the future.

But getting that out of the way one question I wanted to answer is regarding the development phases of this game. Like I've previously mentioned earlier in this post, the game has been receiving steady progress in different portions of the game. The models are the only thing that have received the most progress so far as I'm 70% done with the models. Now if we do a little research the some of the models that appear in this game, we can determine that they're about two to three years old.

Yes that is correct, this game has been in "development" for a little longer than it has been announced and I want to touch on that idea for in this post because it is confusing for some people who have followed me for a some time now. The first ideas that I had in mind for this game date all the way back to 2023. The game plan that I had developed for this project was centered around a Christmas-themed side project during the same time I was developing ASTRO. I had various ideas for that game and I even have finished models and a small build from that era that I can showcase here.

Due to time constraints I never ended up finishing the project, and I was left with only the ideas and models sitting there for a couple years. In late 2025 I decided to revisit the concept and breathe new life into the project by scrapping the old story and developing it into a fleshed out--surreal horror experience that I believe will become my magnum opus. It sounds like a overconfident statement but I really enjoy the approach that I'm taking for this next project.

I basically charted new freedoms with this project, I departed from using Clickteam a long time ago because of my dissatisfaction with the outcome of FALLEN HOPES. Thanks to Godot, I'll have a carte blanche to incorporate as many ideas as I want into this project. The script for this game has been finalized a couple months ago, it was the first thing I prioritized before moving on to the programming aspect of the game, so I won't be lingering around with new ideas for now. Most of my concentration will go towards finishing the models and programming of the game so I can finish this project before the end of this year. To be honest I've barely made a dent in the programming, so far programming is about 25% done but hopefully in this upcoming month I can spike that number to an honest 50-60% before I head back to college.

Just like how I did for ASTRO, I'll be handling the soundtrack for this game. The sound design hasn't made any progress as for me, in order to make a solid development with sounds I need to absorb the environment and motifs of the game. It takes a gander when it comes to accurately pairing the visuals with the sonic palette of the game so I might consider working on the soundtrack when the game is around halfway done. I've made a couple demos and songs that might make it onto the tracklist but as much as I want to, I cannot tease any of that information at the moment. There'll be a video containing most of the songs on the game's soundtrack uploaded onto Youtube at some point but I can't promise that will happen soon.

I think I've shared a generous amount of information as for the moment, if I share too much it'll ruin the fun and momentum of the game. I will keep you guys posted for any new updates or progress in the future.

Anything you see here may or may not be final, always keep in mind that i'm a perfectionist.
