What's up?


Hello all!

If you’re still here after all this time that is.

Happy new year!
It has been a while since the last update and I wanted to tell you all about what I’ve been doing lately.

I have been sketching… a lot. I’ve designed all the rooms, environments, enemies, characters, props - everything. I’ve also made a few environments that have already been realised in 3D. Some of the enemies I’ve designed I am actually very proud of to be honest. I can’t wait to “accidentally” leak some concept art sometime soon ;)

I am trying very hard to tell you all about what I’ve been doing lately without spoiling anything. The thing is though, about 90% of the things I’ve been doing are heavily story-related, so don’t worry. The game isn’t stuck anywhere. It’s making a ton of progress actually, it’s just that I don’t want to ruin the experience for later!

This game is my own dream come true and I am willing to do anything necessary to make it the experience I want it to be.

I want to thank you all for giving my game a chance and I hope you love classic survival horror as much as I do. The feedback over the years has been quite overwhelming and it has really helped me a lot and I mean really a lot. This may sound like a bunch of empty words, but I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Someone I want to thank in particular is this man right here, NitroRad.
If you haven’t seen his video discussing my game’s technicality (or any other videos he’s made), I highly recommend you check him out!

I’ll try to put up a new devlog every once in a while. I’ll try to not keep them too far apart. I know the development has been going on for quite a while now, but I can reassure you, I will never let this game fall into the depths development hell.

Thank you for sticking around and I’ll try to have some more concrete information up soon!

Until next time.

Hey everyone. Another quick update regarding the future of the project. After having dealt with serious memory leaks that causes RAM usage to skyrocket, I spent the past few months fixing just that. The game runs perfectly now and it's coming soon!

Hi everyone.

I have been working very hard on improving the game's environments, textures, models, animations, music and so much more to create the authentic horror experience I have always wanted to make.

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since the last update, but there is some good news on the way.

I have finished almost all rooms in the entire game. The story is set and the graphics are getting their final touches.

Thanks for all the support!

Hey everyone, I'm definitely still working on it! It has been years since I released the original demo and I'm aiming to release the full game this year in Q3. Thanks for sticking around and catch you next time! - Noah

Regarding the last update; I decided to bring the project back to life. I was really burned out after losing most of the game after working on it for nearly a decade, but here we are. It runs a lot better and it's definitely coming along very nicely.

Hello! It has been a very long time since the last... well... anything about Banned Memories.

I am glad to say it is still in development and serious improvements have been made. I'll try to keep you all posted more from now on. All the best!

Hi there all. I have something exciting to share. 4406 allows you to search the internet to look for clues and evidence online on Daniel Langston's computer. Would you like to have your website featured in-game for free? Send me a link to your site!

I cannot possibly thank @Xor enough for helping me getting the special effects working on Hideo's model! The game looks a thousand times better! Thank you!

So I've been re-designing Banned Memories' map.

Hi everyone, In this small update I wanted to showcase some features that are present within the game.

The game will feature full controller support as well as rebindable keys for both keyboard and gamepad.

Also, better animations!

Stay tuned!
