the 0th installment to "News Post Thingie" for Cube's Dark Hours 4


Heyo!

Sorry for disappearing, I got wrapped up in Deltarune.

Anyway, before my so-called "gaming" laptop runs out of precious battery acid, I'll just get right on to writing this:


...You already started work on CDH4?

No!

Well, not really.

I'm still considering myself "on break", but I did get some small stuff out of the way. If you want one example, well, the office is practically complete!

You can be the judge whether that's small work or not, but it wasn't so bad. It shouldn't blur the line between "dev mode" and "rest mode", right?


What about the v1.1 update for CDH1 Reopened?

Just like I mentioned before, I have no idea what I could implement into that update. I could cheap out and make a "Together Again" kind of update (like CDH3), where it combines both Custom Night variants, but I'm not sure whether others want to see something like that again or not.

If people want it, then fine, I'll do it at some point.


What are your current plans for CDH4?

I'm going to put this one in a list format:

  • Story has basically been decided (might change some things as I go forward)

  • Gameplay has been decided

  • 1920x1080 has been decided (Don't worry, it will automatically adjust the game's resolution if you don't have the exact resolution. Oh, yeah, the game now starts in fullscreen when you first boot it up)

  • Toggleable fullscreen, panorama (zoom), v-sync and anti-aliasing (when resizing) has been... well, already implemented.

    Settings menu could probably come soon too.

  • Better and encrypted Ini save system has been decided

  • planning whether to make a post asking for VAs has been decided

  • Adding a jar of pickles has not been decided

  • Cube's decline has... uhm... yeah, I have no idea, you be the judge

  • Characters have been decided

  • Okay, if I go on like this, I'll say stuff that aren't ready yet

  • Keep scrolling, there's nothing to see here


What have you done so far?

well, let me see...

  • Warning screen

  • "made these games" screen

  • partially complete main menu

...Yeah, that should be enough. I'll go get myself some ice cream, maybe even jump back into Deltarune to satisfy my paranoia for secrets.


...GameJolt API integration? :>

...

you already know I will.


Why did you decide to make CDH1 Reopened first before CDH4?

Simple!

The reason was because I had no idea what to do with CDH4.

Sure, the original CDH1 being sub-par was also a reason, but at the time, me having no ideas was one of the main reasons as to why I decided to "delay" CDH4.


Give us a clue as to what CDH4 will be, like, right now.

...I haven't even gone far, what am I supposed to give-


Will CDH4 have more cutscenes compared to CDH1 Reopened (and maybe even CDH3)?

More than CDH1 Reopened, probably less than CDH3. We'll just have to wait and see.


Woah, would you look at that?!

My battery acid is draining!

Alright, I'll shut up now.

Take care, stay safe, God bless!

whoops

(I chose to upload here because GameJolt doesn't allow you to post videos on posts outside of game pages and whatnot)

that one clara documentary thing I said I would make on stream (rushed but oh well)

Already showed this “partial logo” on stream (since the sticker goal was met), so I'll just put it here as well

Here is a 2024 #prideart

I hope I can get time to draw another Fanverse piece this year

WHY IS IT SO CHEAP?! WASN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE 25 KROMER?!

Here's a sneak peak of the office in game. (Ignore those colored squares...)

why do I want to suddenly start pushing myself to get up and do stuff everytime I am sick?

The one time I am supposed to rest, I want to do stuff!!!

Well then, what would you all think about a "banner redraw" stream (and maybe something else idk)?

Not going to lie, I just got a random lightbulb of ideas while lying around and being sick:

Sleeping

Would you be surprised if I said "I made the logo for CDH4", even though I'm still on break?
