Newsletter of Doom!: Week 15: General News, Something Sad, Update CL
johns.game General Info
To see new in-game info, controls, ammo, & guns, check out the 'Wasteland In-game Info Discussion' under Discussions. Its a very helpful little thread that will give you almost all info you will ever need.
The Store Page has been updated as of the description and the screenshots but creating a trailer is a fairly hard feat and I feel like we need to add a whole lot more before we have another need for a trailer unless someone wants to volenteer to create one.
Some Sad News: A Goodbye
I am sorry to say that the man behind the music is now no longer able to create music. The amazing tracks we were given are now the last from him... forever. For those of you who loved these tracks I am sorry, I loved them too. That is why there will be ways for you to find these tracks in-game at some point and that one of the OG Tracks of his will be the main title music in 2.0.3
because we love ANIMAUL.
Bob and Weave
So two of my favourite people on Steam are creating a channel called 'Bob and Weave'. Now I am not sure what their content is actually about but I do trust they will be, hopefully, good videos. So if you care to look at a new channel and maybe get something light on games in your life go check them out. Bob and Weave
thats all, please read all of the notes below and good luck. The world is much to hard for you now!
How did you guys like the new rick and morty? Well... it gave me some ideas.
Also for those few people who asked me, yes I do take some inspiration from the Lisa Series.
New Music should be coming in 2.0.3, as in ambiet music. Along with that
Quests and more dialog interactions should be in 0.3 or 0.4. These things along with a long list of things I want to add will be added with this dialog update. Stories will be available within the game via books (already have a few mini-stories written) so if anyone else has some story they want to throw into the game write a story and either message me directly or put it in the Guides.
This game is quickly taking a darker turn. People will die, blood will lay ways to the surface of the orange, gray earth. The world will burn under your feet as the people around you fear you. You are John, a man with a cliche name and a hidden story of ethics. You don't care, you control someone with no morals and he will do anything. John... he will burn the world down, break every bone, slaughter every child, and find his truth. Do you want to know what happens in the end? John dies. Everyone dies in the end, its just the hard truth. I am speaking to you, I jush wish you would listen.

Here is a spew of questions I would like each memeber of the community to answer as it will improve what you are seeing in each update and what should be or not.
What is more important: Bigger World or More indepth Quests?
If you played the original version of the game did you like the old text engine where is was just someone giving you little bits of info but without dialog options or would you want a fully usable dialog system with player options and conflict?
Realize there are pros and cons to this as there are every option.
Out of the screenshots you can find either on the OS Twitter or just screenshots you see on Steam sometimes do you like how the lighting is?
While you play the game do you like to find out most of things on your own like
Pressing G to grab some objects, or figuring out real world bullet types or have a list of tips on the main screen?
Do you have any questions for me? If so what are they?
Do you care about the other game Obscure Realm or no? Do you even know what it is? :SBpanda::2015holly:
Newsletter of Doom: Week 12/13: Update 2.0.0 Out now!, johns.game, extra
johns.game:New Update, News
The new update has finally released but there is a twist, it's a new game. I have been spending the last few weeks working on both games but I got fed up on johns.game for many reasons including its name. The update has changed the entirety of the game from cooking, to collisions. It's, for the most part, fixed and changed. I am currently re-creating the entire world from the worlds name to the quests that you find. Currently, you spawn in a very small area that you can, at the same time, do a few things to get used to how the game will play and the world will work before the full world is complete. The name of the game is currently being voted on to be changed because jonhs.game is just a URL name that's not a very good name, to begin with.
The Current Names are:
Wasteland King
OASIS
Wastelander
Life is a game
if you have another idea for a name please feel free to comment.
Most of these updates you will find quicker at our twitter so go us a follow!

johns.game's quck update with info on whats going on, I would read it.
I feel like it seems like I am going back and forth between games. I kinda am, but to be quite honest this game is getting remade, an update will be out at some point soon with a testing build and the password to the testing will be posted along with its release. The game will be a fixed version of this (WITHOUT THE TERRIBLE COLLISIONS THANK GOD) because I feel like I might have betrayed some people. Well, its being fixed so... yeah. Here are some cool screenshots and stuff.
Since Steam really does not many GIFs, I have linked the Obscure Studio Twitter. If you are interested in updates, news, screenshots, and gifs of our games then give us a follow,

Obscure Realm: Additional Help, Phase 1
Additional Help: I was looking for help with developing Obscure Realm and then I had a few people come to me saying they could help. Yes, they gave some good ideas for art and etc but I could tell they are just 'Idea Men' (Idea Men are people who just sit around giving ideas without real effort in making those ideas come to light/happen) and they wanted to take my game for themselves. This sucks. So now if someone does in fact want to help develop this game with me then they need to tell me exactly what they want to do in detail instead of a vague idea. Thank you.
Phase 1: Obscure Realm's first area of the game has been remade (as far as I want you to play anyways), the sewer area is playable to those who would like to. At the same time I am looking for those who would like to help just look over the game, give small ideas about what could be better, changed, or added. If you would like to have access to this please feel free to message me for access to this. I will be using GameJolt to do testing. Using the original projects page as a way to see the testing be in use making it so you can play the current version and last years version. Without request you can play last years version but to play this year I need to add you to a list of people so you can download and play at anytime. If this is to hard for you to have a GameJolt account then I do have Dropbox that I can give links to but thats only if its dire.
johns.game:Its been on my mind
Lately, when I have been free, I have been thinking about recreating the engine from scratch for johns.game. This would be a great thing and in turn would revive johns.game to a player base as if everything worked the game would be quite fun. The problem is the game would be oddly different as Locations, Survival, and some Quests would be altered. For the people who have played the Steam Version at least 30 minutes. How would you feel about this change, and for those who just play the working GameJolt version how would you feel if the game was changed fully to Survival with no added mini-games?
News Letter of Doom: Week 10: Obscure Realm's Lighting: A User's Comment: Additional Help
Obscure Realm's Lighting:
Obscure Realm will be a great game unlike johns.game, at the same time it will be unique but still like other games. Lets just start with the lighting. The lighting will be exactly what I wanted to do with the game when I originally made it for GameJolt but did not know what I was doing. I have done some side help with other games and created johns.game and learned a few things. Obscure Realm has reflective and shadow lighting. In most areas you will be able to smash the light source that is creating light making a level darker. Simple. Smashable lights.
A User's Comment:
A user started a thread in the community about how I spelled a few things wrong on the Steam Store page for johns.game. Well I'm here to tell you I did it on purpose.
I know it is just light hearted bashing, no hard feelings. I just would like everyone to know this game is made for my friends and I to screw around in.
Additional Help
I am looking for additional help with Obscure Realm, I want this game to be great. The help I am looking for are but not limited to: Testing. Programming, Art, Music. If you would like to help with any of these or something else please feel free to comment on this post and then message/add me on Steam. Thank you. :2015holly::SBpanda:

News Letter of Doom: Week 9: Obscure Realm, The Future of johns.game, This News Letter, Obscure Realm Screenshots
Obscure Realm:
The work on Obscure Realm is going great as the Art, Music, Story, and Collisions (they actually work in this by the way) are going very well. Everything is running smoothly; Now its just a matter of remaking a few levels and editing some story. Talking to Steam is also another matter. In the long run I know this game will be great unlike something you have seen before from me. At some point soon, if people ask, I will add a little side-mode that shows off the first level of Obscure Realm's remake. A few screenshots are at the bottom of the page, I recommend checking them out and saying what you think.
The Future of johns.game:
Even though this is being posted on johns.game's game group johns.game is at a sort of a halt due to work on Obscure Realm. johns.game was and is always going to be a passion project. The future of johns.game will be mini-games and new gamemodes. Changes to the store page will be made as this game evolves but for now it just has RTS Mode (which actually works better than I had recently thought), and Survival Mode (which has a pretty broken collision system. All the cheats for the Survival Mode are on the numpad so go nuts; no reason to keep that a secret anymore.

News Letter of Doom: Week 8: Obscure Realm, johns.game:
Obscure Realm:
The work on Obscure Realm is going great, and once I have a musical track done and some text engine stuff complete I will add the firstlevel of the game as a test mode in johns.game giving you the ability to play it and ask for nit-picky stuff that I probably will never think of. Obscure Realm is my MAIN focus right now but I will not stop with johns.game, but if their is some magical game breaking bug or something small that can be added within about a day I will add it.
johns.game:
As I said two weeks ago I am just trying to finish up the mass of a list that has grown on every Change-Log. What I didn't tell you is that after the list is done I will be just adding little mini games to the game so when I am out of ideas wether it's for Obscure Realm or johns.game main Survival Mode I will always have something happening so you all will not be bored.

News Letter of Doom: Week 7: Update, Trading Cards, Discord
(Links at the bottom of the page)
Update:
There was no update yestarday because buidling was and is still the main part of that update. It will release when it is finished and working well. The base premise is down and working slight, now I just have to get the UI to fit and the opening of the menu fully working.
Trading Cards:
Trading Cards will be coming to the game soon because I know its something people like. Along with trading cards, emots, backrounds and more avatars will also be added. This will be a lot of work but it will be added soon enough.
Someone has started a discussion about this so if you would like to add to this then go comment on this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/597240/discussions/0/1291817208498281111/
Discord Server:
This will be the last time I say it but people can come join our discord (link at the bottom of the page). This is an easy tool for me the dev and you all as the community to talk.
