It's finally that time again... Another TurnVex Horror Release!
Let me start off by saying this past month was an absolute nightmare - working a full-time job alongside completing Snafu with a very tight release schedule was absolutely wicked... But nonetheless, the job was done and I am quite happy with the results.
As I've already mentioned several times, Snafu is a very different type of horror game so I am very VERY curious to hear the opinions of you all when the game releases on Wednesday March 8th.
For whoever wants to know:
- Snafu has an estimated completion time of approximately 80-minutes. However, this could skyrocket to several hours depending on the level of detail you scower through!
-Snafu features full controller support (For the first time ever!! wow)
- And as always, 3 official endings with a horrible 0.5 bonus ending for those of you who really screw up...
I want to wish you all the best and I hope you give Snafu a chance alongside providing your opinion on the game - that would be greatly appreciated for future titles :)
Just wanted to spread word that Snafu, my upcoming horror game is almost here!
Development is beginning to approach the final stages, and so far I can say that I am very happy with the direction of the game. It is a very different horror game, very unique, in my opinion.
After spending this whole long weekend working on and completing a castle of the game, I am a little more comfortable with the March 08 release date of the game.
Here is a little snippet of the inside during night time when its the spookiest...
There is not much else I have to say right now other than "get ready" for something entirely different!
Apologies for the wait, I expected to have have this game's Store Page up in early January; however, work got a little busy, so I had to postpone it a bit. But that's besides the point!
I am happy to announce that my upcoming horror game (Snafu) store page is now active with a release date set to March 8th 2023.
First thing you will notice is that Snafu is a very different game from what I am used to making, very different indeed. However, an interesting game, nonetheless... It's important to try new things, once in a while. You will learn many new things :)
Check the page out and please provide your thoughts. I am interested to see what you all think of this upcoming release :)
I wanted to let you all know that I am still alive and slowly working away on a new horror game. However, this time, I am creating something completely new and unique. There is not too much that I want to talk about this game, yet, however, I have provided some screenshots below (Pre-Alpha).
Please take a look and let me know what you think. As of right now, this horror game will be very unique and different from anything that I have ever done before, so I am very excited to get some feedback, especially once I setup a Steam Page sometime early January 2023. Until then, here are several screenshots depicting super early game play.
Please note, this will be a horror game, so don't let the looks fool you into thinking otherwise :)
Cheers, and once again, have an excellent holiday.

Is Simon There? is now Live!
I am very happy to announce that Is Simon There? is now available on Steam.
As always, all feedback is greatly appreciated. If you play the game, please provide a review with your honest feedback. All feedback is used in the production of upcoming games.
And finally, as I said before, I will be taking some time off to research some new game mechanics / systems. I am hoping to begin creating some new content going forward.
Thank you very much, everybody. I genuinely hope you enjoy Is Simon There?!
Hello, everybody. I hope you are all doing very well.
I wanted to let you all know that my latest horror Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow at 10am PST / 11am Mountain time.
Is Simon There? will be slightly different from some of my more recent releases (i.e. Within Skerry and Inside Depth 6) in that it will focus primarily on creating an atmosphere for the player to dive into.
Is Simon There? will have fewer required puzzles (excluding optional puzzles) and fewer "aimless, eventless wandering". My goal is to tell a story while keeping you on the edge of your seat, while anticipating the next event to happen.
Of course, like my previous games,Is Simon There? will include 3 endings and 1 Easter Egg/ special ending. I've toned the difficulty of these optional puzzles down a little so that the vast majority of players can experience all the game has to offer without relying on too many guides.
AND finally, no more getting knocked-out black screens. Nothing but silky smooth progression, a dark story, a neat little Easter Egg, and a hand full of intuitive puzzles to keep you thinking, throughout the 40 minute long journey.
Once again, Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow (May 06, 2022). And as always, if you play the game, please leave an honest review. I would love to know what you enjoyed and disliked about the game.
Once Is Simon There? has been published, I will be spending some time researching new mechanics / systems to implement into new games (i.e. controller support, advanced AI, potential VR, etc)
I am very pleased to finally announce that Within Skerry is now officially available and playable on Steam.
I may be biased when I say this, but I believe that this may be my scariest project, to date. But who knows! I will let you all be the judge of that :)
As always, if you play the game, please leave a review highlighting your thoughts. Whether you enjoyed the game or disliked the game, all feedback is extremely valuable and heavily appreciated.
Hello everybody, I hope everything is going well on your ends.
I wanted to let you all know that Within Skerry will be releasing on Steam on February 8th, 2022. The Steam page is now live, and all we need to do now is wait for release :)
I have yet to figure out how to end the game, but I am slowly brainstorming - trying to put together a "true ending" that does not feel abrupt and nicely summarizes the story of the game. Only 9 days left to figure it out and build it / test it. No pressure :)
Not to mention I have yet to put in an Easter Egg, too! I wanted to create a different type of Easter Egg for Within Skerry that is not as simple as the ones in Inside Depth 6 or Suite 776 - Guess I need to get on that, too.
Stay safe, everyone, and see you on release date!
cheers,

Within Skerry store page is now live!
Hello everyone,
I am super pleased to finally release the Steam Page for Within Skerry. Please note, the game is not yet complete or out, but the page is now available with a trailer, screenshots, and a bit of additional information.
Within Skerry was an absolute joy to develop, so I am truly looking forward to you all playing it!
I will do my best to post weekly development updates before the release, providing some screenshots, added functionality, and % of completion.
Within Skerry is scheduled to release on February 8th, 2022!
Thank you, everybody, Happy gaming! and please let me know what you think of the page :)
I wanted to let everyone here know that Inside Depth 6's Steam page is now LIVE! After many months of development, I am very happy to say that the game is almost finished and ready to provide you all with some long awaited spooks.
I have learned a lot from Suite 776 and lots of the feedback received. I have taking this feedback very seriously and have applied the following to Inside Depth 6: - Multiple endings, - A random variant system (some events will trigger differently for everybody), - Longer gameplay and a stronger focus on story, - Significantly more exploration relative to Suite 776, - More secrets and optional puzzles to take part in, - and of course, an Easter egg; who doesn't love a little bit of Easter egg love?
So what are my plans once Inside Depth 6 is released? Once Inside Depth 6 is fully live, I intend to push out a couple of updates to the game within 1-2 months time. This is to scrub a couple of triggers, add a couple of additional areas to explore and a few additional scares.
Most of my time after launch will be focused on research. Due to Covid, I am focusing full time on Game development and Youtube, so this will allow me to focus on researching areas of game development like advanced AI, animations, and most importantly, for me, it gives me time to finally look into virtual reality (VR). It has been a long-awaited dream of mine to delve into some VR development, so now with all of this extra time to focus on game dev, I can allocate a lot of resources to VR research, And who knows, maybe I will be able to add VR support to Depth 6 and Suite 776 within the next several months.
Another area of importance for me is to research controller support and localization. I know that controller support and a lack of additional languages is a major negative to my titles, so I hope to implement some form of controller support and localization in the future - please bear with me on that! :)
So as always, I wish you all a safe and enjoyable 2021, happy gaming, stay safe, and I look forward to hearing from you all once Depth 6 has been released March 12!
Please feel free to provide some of your thoughts in the comments below :)
