So, the game isn't quite as big as i'd hoped for, But i'm really happy with how it turned out.
Act 3 will be a much more, contained/smaller game, with less environmental work, so i'll have more time for Lore Notes, Voice Logs, ETC, More info about it coming sometime Next Year.
For now, i'll be working on the Updates i mentioned, then focus on my Ghost Hunting Game.
If there's any parts of the game you don't like, Let me know, and i'll look into it for the next update!
Was Anything Cut?
Yup, 1 Animatronic, and 30-ish minutes of gameplay, Not due to time issues though, due to bad mechanics, and boring Gameplay. the Animatronic being Music Men that would appear on the Cameras, and disable them, eventually knocking your power out. But with how many Camera Animatronics there are, it wouldn't be very fun, imo. And Gameplay mainly being Nightmare Sequences, a Chase Sequence in Night 3, and a Vent Section in Night 4
Development went way faster on Night 3 - 6 than 1 and 2, What happened?
From March, to the end of October, I was working a full time job, 4 - 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. (which was NOT worth it lol)
I didn't have time to work on the game as much as Act 1,
And, I always try to make Gameplay Systems that can be used in multiple places, without having to remake them, I.E, Animatronic A.I is the same across all levels, etc.
So that took a lot of time as well.
So after i left that job, i've been working on aftermath 7 days a week, 9 - 13 Hours a day. (And somehow I'm not burnt out yet..)
