Hello everyone! Gonna give an official written update here since the last one wasn't all that substantial, it was only an announcement that our break was over. I wanna catch the public up with the state of development and give some insight on the game's progression.

Currently, most of the character programming is actually done! In fact I'd say there's only one or two more characters that need to be touched up. Some mechanics have gotten reworked and some have been changed completely. Its been a huge balancing act, no pun intended, to make sure that all the characters are refined enough to the point where they don't cause another character to become impossible to deal with, but I'm satisfied with the level of difficulty each one presents at the moment.

So, if the programming is mostly finished, what does that leave? Well, a majority of the work left for the game is modeling. Each version of Animators Hell has looked visually better than the last. This next and final update will be no different. And since it's the last update, we're pulling out all the stops. In demo 1, the room designs were very crudely made, and in demo 2, the rooms were just bland and generally looked very same. Heck, the 2018 version of the game didn't even have rooms made in Blender. They were rendered in an SFM hospital map (In fact, I think it was Halsey who rendered them if I'm not mistaken!)

Animation, which of course is a very focal thing in this game, is also nearing completion. The jumpscares were admittedly a bit lackluster in demo 2. People very clearly preferred the jumpscares from demo 1, so we're trying to emulate that style. Additionally, even more camera animation will be present compared to demo 2.

Thank you everyone for all the support that you've shown me and the team. It really means a lot to me that there are people, outside and inside the team, who genuinely care about this game. Please stay tuned, because I promise the full game isn't going to disappoint anyone.
