Rewrite log 5: beta testing, graphics and gameplay settings, screenshot functionality, etc


After a little bit of polishing, fixes and balancing, I am currently playtesting level 1. Gameplay-wise it is still difficult but more moderate. Graphics-wise it's surprisingly performant, I managed to have a framerate above 60 FPS and below 120 FPS at 2560x1600 with a Radeon 780M iGPU. Not only the game performs better than previous versions, but in my opinion it also looks better.

I implemented game settings including graphics, audio volume, mouse sensitivity, resolution and more. These settings are not exposed through a settings menu, instead they are configured from a file called "config.txt" located in the same path as the game's executable. If this file is not present, it's re-created with the default settings. The config file syntax is simple and intuitive, easy to understand and configure. I will keep this mechanism in the final release but I'm unsure yet if I will also expose the settings on the main menu or not.

Screenshot functionality was added. You can now take screenshots and even high-res screenshots by changing the scale value in config.txt.

Once I'm done testing and polishing level 1, I will proceed to creating the main menu. After that and a bit more testing and fixes, version 2.0 will be ready for public release!

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.

Entry #1 teaser Entry #1 is coming… _I actually love this bonus chapter much more than the first one. Entry #1 is more intense_

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?
