Hello there Dusk. LOVE all of your horror threads. Wish you were active on twitter so I can keep up with all your horror game journeys.
Any idea if the developers are thinking of console ports by the way?
Yai, love to spread the horror enthusiasm. Twitter is honestly the social feed I am probably most quiet on. OTL
Console ports they haven't talked about. As the game is a Unity game it'd certainly be possible. From what the developers have said though, it sounds like before they think about porting stuff they first want to make sure everything is in order. I have my suspicions if there was a console version it'd be after all the DLC stuff is completed.
Oh woah, completely forgot about this. Definitely picking it up.
Also gives them the opportunity to make a little money back and fund development for longer. I just hope the first act isn't rushed, and is of a reasonable length.
It was announced as releasing much sooner than I think most expected.
This is my concern, and I'll voice what I think here when I play it on the 13th. My guess was this was related to the lack of funds as well. When they pitched the game to nearby publishers, they apparently were asked by all to turn the game into a non-horror game or make it a mobile game or something of that sort, so they decided to go for crowd-funding, which they succeeded, but only netted them $26k, which is very little to make a game like this. Certain they've been doing the best they could, but when they expanded from a 4-man team to a 20-man team, I was concerned about their budget, and assume this is the method they used to help fund the rest of the game and get the game out sooner (they said over a year ago it might take a while for them to finish the game). Hoping the first act is of decent length and satisfying as well~
Oh yeah, thanks for the very detailed OP Dusk Golem! You make the best threads for horror stuff.
Is that a bonus costume lol?
Always happy to spread horror love. I think it's a bonus costume, they make mention there's alt costumes in the game.
I remember seeing some previews for this a while ago and thinking it looked pretty cool, but the Act 1/Act 2 thing is disappointing, even if circumstances may have forced the developer's hand. I'd just rather wait until both parts are available before I decide to jump in.
Yeah, no kidding, lol.
I'm thinking of it like an episodic deal, but it does feel like the decision was made probably somewhat out of necessity. They had said a year ago development time would likely take a while and the game would be more expensive than $15 (which is what the funding price for the digital game was). I guess their method to help fund it more was to split the game into two parts, and release the first Act as is. To be seen how it fully plays out.
On transparent dresses, I think it might be the lighting as it doesn't look transparent in the Launch Trailer. But I will admit when it as pointed out it does look like that in a few screen. XD;
Looks great from what I've seen, which was ages ago. Really looking forward to see what these guys can cook up.
Great OT.
Cite me for the curious too, I have my expectations kind of mild out but very intrigued. Originally when I heard of the game in 2012, I kind of expected a medium-quality but enjoyable in its own right game, but then the demo was much better quality and put together than I expected. So I am curious if the game will live up to my medium-quality expectation based on early screens and info, or if it'll surprise me like the demo did.
