Up til now I have been showing concepts and still images, but I think it's about time to give you all something in motion!
I know some of you have been curious about how the new death scenes will be handled, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to show some real in-game progress:

And this is just a taste of the new agonizing horrors awaiting in Part 2. There is plenty of suffering in death, but the true horror resides in survival...
Keeping Up With Part 2
For those of you who may be curious about the progress on House of Velez Part 2, you can follow its official Facebook page here:
https://www.facebook.com/House-of-Velez-1472285942792421/
The page is essentially being used as a sort of dev-log. Beware though, you may be spoiling some things for yourself by watching the page.
For those of you who do not want any spoilers and just want to know how it's going- Part 2 is coming along beautifully! This is going to make a worthy follow-up to end House of Velez.
There is no official release date set, but with some luck I will be able to have it complete by the end of the year. At the moment it is about 25% complete.
A Second Look At Part 2
All gameplay for the first section of House of Velez Part 2 has just been completed!
Now it's on to the second section. Meaning new threats and a new evil!
This is going to be interesting!
A Look At Part 2
So far progress into Part 2 has been steady. I wanted to give everyone a look into some of the concepts I have been working off of. Just as an idea of what's going on.
Lily's model update:
A look at a new mechanic:
Environmental Concepts:
So far, so good! There is a ton going into this one and I can't wait to see it all come together!
House of Velez Patch #3
Just did an update on House of Velez Part 1 in order to better streamline the save files between Part 1 and Part 2.
The only difference you should see is at the end of Part 1, when you saved before it would say "End of Part 1" followed by your number of saves up to that point.
Now when you reach the end of Part 1 and make that final save it should only say "End of Part 1" and nothing after that.
HoV - Part 2 -- The Stress Is Setting In!
Part 1 took its toll on our girl, Lily. In Part 2 it is really going to show. And unfortunately things are only going to become even more stressful from here onward!
There is going to be a very heavy focus on the visuals in Part 2.
Part 2 Has Begun!
Writing and planning for House of Velez Part 2 has officially begun, as of tonight!
The main sections of Part 1 were rather small.
So far the first area of Part 2 is already just about the same size, and it still has a long ways to go! So expect a much bigger, and much more dark and morbid experience coming in Part 2!
A Shift Forward In Time...
For those interested, I have just put out the next game in this series' timeline, "Grave Prosperity."
With this complete, it will soon be time to begin development on House of Velez part 2!
Think of these releases like the movie Pulp Fiction. There are some jumps in time, but each story ties into an even greater story in the end.
House of Velez, Grave Prosperity, and finally, City of Amber all play into the same overall story.
It's an odd model, but it makes for a fun way to tell a story! In House of Velez we experience the impacts of a curse from the perspective of the helpless Lily.
Now...
We will experience things from a very different perspective. Helpless is certainly not the way I would describe our leading lady, Amber, in Grave Prosperity.
Enjoy the carnage!
House of Velez Patch #2
This patch is a pretty big one, so here are the changes:
<> Increased sensitivity on the left stick for gamepads. (This will hopefully address the issues some players were having with moving the stick up and down)
<>Made the Mannequin's hearing radius in the Safe Room smaller. (This has made the encounter much more tolerable, and I believe it will be a huge quality of life improvement for many!)
That's it for now! I really do hope these changes help people out and allow more access to the game!
Let me know if anything comes up!
