Devlopment Progress #16 1 Year ago!
One year ago I had posted my announcement that my game store page is live! Crazy to think its been a year already! This game has really came a long way since the store page going public.
Here's a little overview of the year!
A month later we Launched the first trailer to the game also showing off the song that I got permission to use from the artist!
The demo of the game came out 4 months later after the store page launch!
We had three total demo updates with the last one being the launch of Level 1 and the story teaser!
Lately the news have been about SURIVIVAL mode. This game mode is close to a work in progress Demo release! like really close! a few more things need to be worked on but overall we could that that very soon! Will have more details in a few weeks! who know maybe a release then?? I guess you'll find out
We are still looking to do a next year release! There's still a lot of work to do but I'll be sure to keep you all informed on when the release will be!
I just want to thank you all for the journey we have been on so far! it means a lot to me especially being the only developer on this game!
Devlopment Progress #15 September Update!
Since the last update I've got a lot more completed and its really starting to get to a point where I could release a work in progress survival demo mode update! So this is the list that still needs to be worked on!
Enemy AI Got almost all the AI converted over to survival mode! just need to get one more added which will take a little bit of a rework for that ai.
Wall Weapons so far most wall weapons work except a few. I still have to fix a few bugs that comes along with this as well but so far test have proven to be fixed just have to finish implementing the fix.
Drops 2 of the 4 drops that I have in progress are working! Still need to get the texture for third one and the fourth one still has to be programmed and tested
End screen so far is working but need to get the stats working a bit better for it which the least priority right now.
Devlopment Progress #14 August Update!
Here is the list of stuff that I need to work on for the survival mode release! I happen to fix a few things that were an issue like upgrading weapons not working correctly. These here are the things that I still need to work on and get done! once I have these completed the game should get completed fairly quickly from here! at least that's the hope I haven't really had much time to work on it lately.
Doors All the doors are working so far But isn't purchasable yet so I would need to add that feature in.
Enemy AI Still need to fix spawning rules and how they spawn and which ones spawn. meaning more verity.
Drops 2 of the 4 drops that I have in progress are working which means I'm not sure if the 4th one is going to happen yet. Still have to get the other one working but shouldn't be to bad.
Wall Weapons so far only one of the wall weapons work so I need to get more of them working more consistently.
End screen so far is working but need to get the stats working a bit better for it which the least priority right now.
Devlopment Progress #13 Current Progress!
Since the last update I've been working a lot with the survival mode! Here's a list of things that I have get done!
First off I just want to put it out there that I did release a beta version out to the play testers and the full owners of the game! Which is a big step for working on trying to squash all the bugs as much as possible before full release! I still have a lot of work to do but it is getting there.
Map design overall map design looks good but need to add a few more details and change a few little things.
Weapons need to reset when not equipped some work some doesn't yet.
Doors All the doors are working so far But isn't purchasable yet so I would need to add that feature in.
Enemy AI Still need to fix spawning rules and how they spawn and which ones spawn. meaning more verity.
Perks So far all of them are working but may need changes.
Drops 2 of the 4 drops that I have in progress are working which means I'm not sure if the 4th one is going to happen yet. Still have to get the other one working but shouldn't be to bad.
Wall Weapons so far only one of the wall weapons work so I need to get more of them working more consistently.
End screen so far is working but need to get the stats working a bit better for it which the least priority right now.
I know this may seem like a lot of work yet and it is but I'm working really hard to try and get this completed as quick as i can! Once I get these features working and everything bug tested as much as i can. It will go live to the Demo. With that being said the demo will have everything that it would need and I can work on the normal game until it gets closer to release. The only updates i'll make to the demo is mainly bug/balance updates.
Devlopment Progress #12 2 month update
So over the past 2 months I've been working on trying to get the survival mode into a better position for release. I've also took a break from developing for a bit because I needed to figure out how I wanted the survival mode to be. It's been difficult for sure but I think I have a list of things that I need to complete before it can go into a work in progress release. Granted that means there are possible Crashes and bugs, But I'm gonna try to eliminate those as much as possible. I'm hoping within a few months I'll be able to have another update out to the demo for a work in progress survival map! But that all depends on how development goes. This game mode I'm trying to make is very new to me and trying to get it just right has been tough.
Quietus Allurement Demo Update #3
This update has been in the works for a long while! I've been spending a lot of time with this update and making it tie in with everything a whole lot better!

Devlopment Progress #11 UI Updates/Improvements
What's been going on lately?
Optimizing
The last past month I've been working a lot on making it more universal for my code to where If I have to make a change it will change for both modes. I've been spending a lot of time with this because I don't want to break something in story and have it to where its unplayable.
Loadout UI changes
Some other changes I made has been in the loadout. Weapons that have duel wield will now draw 2 weapons on screen instead of just one. and Silencer will also show up on there as well. Overall I've been working on those 2 things.
Survival Progress
I've also been trying to figure out the best method for the survival mode and where I want that game mode to be.
New Levels?
I'm hoping soon I'll have more details soon about level 1. I'm still awaiting voice lines but I'm thinking I'm gonna be going to a backup plan and get them quicker. Level 1 is done I just have to add the voice lines! That's my goal is to get this level released shortly! I'll also have it to where you can skip level 1 in the demo but when full game releases you wont be able to skip since it is a key part of the story. Maybe I could add a thing later on after release that only works if you have beat the game once.

The demo has been progressing and I've been working on taking a lot of consideration into the game and what I want the game to be.
