Rewrite log 3: Level 1 progress, Slender improvements and source code


The core mechanics (player, Slender, etc) are nearly done, only requiring some tweaks and a few refactors as I introduce other components into the game. For level 1 I have also nearly finished working on page collection logic, Slender difficulty adjustment and the game over event. With these out of the way, I began working on event code specific to the first level (besides page-related code), such as the victory event. Once it's done, the foundation for level 1 will be mostly completed and I can proceed with porting assets and creating the map.

Contrary to what I said in a past log, Slenderman will be able to teleport to the player's front. I noticed that, no matter how difficult I make Slender, him teleporting to the player's front adds an important twist to mechanics and the player's struggle and challenge which spices up gameplay, and so I implemented it.

The rewrite's source code is now open and released under the GPL2 license here. This repository only contains the source code I am writing for the game and does not contain the rest of the project or any other asset. This means that, while the code is open source, the game in its entirety is not. I would love for Insanity to be fully free and open source but I cannot do this because of the licensing of certain assets.

I will continue my work and post another update once I have more cool things to announce.

I'm back!! (maybe idk) Oh yesh, I’m developing the game :3 New teaser btw:

Not dead yet Right now I’m working on my new horror game but I’m about to start preparing Mac and Linux builds of Insanity 1.5 and then enhance the graphics for 1.6 In the meantime why don’t you look at this cute little kitten?

Working on better graphics...

Halloween video coming _The only relation between the video and Insanity is that they are both about Slender_ I’m going to make a video instead of publishing a good version, I don’t have enough time to develop it.

Upcoming version's release date I’m planning on releasing it in a week, hopefully before Christmas. Here’s a teaser of what this version will have:

Version 1.0 Graphics Settings (incomplete)

Classic Slender model... oh yeah *Note: Slenderman’s model will stay the same, I’m just thinking of adding the classic model in a future bonus chapter…*
