SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening

1 year ago

Perhaps this is a pointless post, and I'm sure people have seen it from an older image, but SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening is going to have an options menu!

(actually really cool news imo but also I need to say some things about it lmfao)

While it's not much, as I do not have the ability to make a much larger, more advanced options menu for games made in Blender, I do know that these three options will be quite handy for some people.

Fullscreen is quite obvious. You can toggle the game between fullscreen and windowed mode. I added this in mostly because I knew people would like it. However, I should note that mixing this with the resolution setting can be buggy, but it is fixable by adjusting your screen and changing it back to fullscreen. A fix for that is very much out of my control sadly, but it's a pretty easy thing to solve on your own.

Vsync is more technical, but if you ever experience screen tearing, you can keep this enabled. I do believe if you disable it, it might help lower-end PCs run the game better. I'm not exactly sure about this myself as I have a powerful laptop lol.

And finally, Resolution has two options. 1920 x 1080, and 1280 x 720. Initially, I didn't think this would be possible to have implemented and was considering releasing a separate "low resolution" version of the game. But to my surprise, I can implement it, and its addition is actually pretty big. If the game runs slower for you, you can change the resolution down to 1280 x 720, and hopefully you'll get better performance, at the cost of slightly blurrier textures and more pixely scenery. It's not too bad, however.

(Also be aware that your mouse/head will move faster as the game's screen is much smaller.)

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get these options to be saved once you exit the game. I'm still working with Phobia: The Awakening's old code and honestly, I really do not want to mess anything up too much lol. Thankfully, however, it's only three options and not a whole list with multiple categories.

Mother, I had just hatched from my egg and have been brought into this dark world, there is no need to hold me in such an embarrassing manner.

Very pretty sunset today.

Trying to improve how I draw humans (which I rarely do) so I can give myself some actual reference for their updated 3D models and to give them some nicer stylization.

Also yes this is a concept sketch of Dean’s new design.

SHOWMAN! 1!1!1!

I once said on my stream that if the SHOWMAN’S animatronics were animals, they’d actually be a band of alley cats! I do have a drawing of Showman, who’d actually be named Tuxy, as I feel more fun names would better suit them as animals.

Happy birthday @itsizsgames !!!

I didn't want to miss the opportunity on drawing something for you, this is a little rushed sadly

Major change of plans.

PLEASE take the time to read this.

3,000 followers is actually insane. I wouldn't have made a decade old series of shitposts into something genuinely so cool nowadays without you guys.

Phobia: The Awakening's 5th anniversary is on August 27th.

Big and important update on the overall SHOWMAN'S series.
