I've Got Good News And Bad News...


Alright, lets start with the good news.

Strange Terror From The Deep is going really really well so far. Might finish this project by December and release it early in January after doing a few weeks of advertising on my twitter and promoting the game by sending promotional keys to Youtubers before it’s release. By the way, If you want to see teasers and random progress updates, check out my Twitter. I post there everyday, so I definitely recommend following me there if you want to see more stuff about the game early on. https://twitter.com/The_Toonimator

Anyway, after that shameless self promotion, it’s time for… The bad news. Dun, dun, dun!!!

Strange Terror: Ultimate Edition may or may not be cancelled, now that I found out something rather grim has occurred to the Strange Terror From Beyond The Stars project file. For some reason it’s really slow, the game’s frame rate itself is poor and overall the project is just bonked. It’s beyond saving, and is very unlikely to get updated or built off of, ever. So either I have to clone Strange Terror From The Deep, and work off of that game, (which seems like the most likely case) or I scrap the project entirely. Honestly, if Strange Terror From The Deep’s project file doesn’t get bonked up like STFBTS, then I probably will just build Strange Terror: Ultimate Edition off of Strange Terror From The Deep. Sounds easy enough. It’s just like if I had cloned STFBTS and imported all the content from the sequel onto the Ultimate Edition. Doesn’t really make a difference, so I don’t see this minor inconvenience something to be worried about. The only problem about all this, is that I can no longer update Strange Terror From Beyond The Stars. It’s a darn shame considering there were a few problems with the current version, such as BUNKY’s head not swaying along with his body, or Berry The Bear having his original garbage model instead of his remastered one. But eh, it’s fine, I can just add all that stuff to the Ultimate Edition.

Anyway, I hope this gave you your fill of delicious Strange Terror news. See you all later!

(Warning Jumpscare) Been experimenting in VR with different mechanics and stuff for plugging stuff in, pressing things and swinging to break stuff. Ended up making a small prototype that scared me quite a bit. Might turn this into an actual game, lol

So what game made me want to be a dev? Y'all already know the answer to that, LOL

This game itself has very much inspired most of my work, from its atmosphere to its various game elements. #Devruary

Today is 3AM at the Krusty Krab's 8 year anniversary! Fun times those were.

Hihi, I think I threw out my back

Thinking about the pony game.

A game I always seem to find myself coming back to is Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. The artstyle, the atmosphere, the characters, the lore, it always brings me back. If I could, I'd love to collaborate with the developers one day!

Another visual update coming to Dave.EXE! Brightening some maps so players don't always need the flashlight in outdoor areas.

Something that always bugs me is when horror games are practically pitch black and they give you a free but very dim flashlight to start with. Now you have to level up and/or buy a stronger flashlight just to be able to see. This is bad game design imo.

What's a game I wish I could replay for the first time? My Friendly Neighborhood, for sure. This was SUCH an amazing game. From beginning to end I loved it to bits and I wish I could reexperience it!

Today is Strange Terror From The Deep's SEVEN year anniversary!

I don't have any new updates planned for the game, but I'm hoping this year I'll be able to whip up something special for the Strange Terror series. But! we shall see. ^w^
