Reality Incognita
Reality Incognita will be deployed at October 14 MIDDAY
I will release the final version, for everyone, tomorrow, at October 14. However, don't expect it to be deployed at 00:00. I want to make last run to fix issues that still remain. I am saying this in advance, so you don't wait and get nervous in vain.
I plan to make a release in between 12:00 to 18:00 by GMT +2.
Reality Incognita developemnt is finished!
So, as I hoped and planned, I finally finished adding all the content to the Reality Incognita and it's ready to play.
But, the official start will be at October 14, as stated in previous message. I do want to try and fix some potential remaining bugs.
Until then though, I did send special access codes to many reviewers and curators, so with some luck we'll get reviews and they will be good. :)
If you are a curator, that got my invitation earlier, and was waiting for full release, please contact me to get password for access to full game. Write to "direboargames@gmail.com".
I also sent it to some gaming competitions, fabled IGF among them.
Stay put, the game will shoot soon. And if you want to buy it for half price, you still have that chance!
Reality Incognita will be released at October!
We have great news for you. We have almost finished the development of Reality Incognita, and if everything goes smooth, it will be released at October 14!
You waited long, and we were working on this long, but hopefully we are almost done.
Just a few weeks more, and you'll be able to finally play the full version!
We hope to make final release in between 2-4 month!
We remind you, that fully working Beta is already available, and that will automatically update to full version once it's released.
You still have a chance to buy Reality Incognita for the half price!
Estimated timeframe
I wanted to tell you about how long the remaining development should take.
Before going any further, I want to say that those time frames are estimated, and might change because of something unexpected.
- The remaining coding - I already finished writing draft scripts for most objects and items interactions, but still need to write the new conversations, and in-game articles. Writing and coding them will take about a month.
- The remaining game rooms visuals - estimated time is up to two month.
- The remaining video cutscenes - those might take more, estimated 4-5 month.
Of course, I won't release the game with placeholders instead of rooms, or missing cutscenes, or without more bug checks.
What I plan to do, once I finish coding, I'll start use placeholders just for myself and start detailed and thorough testing. While I test, images and videos will be finished.
Also, I hope, but again, don't promise, that I'll also convert the game to Mobile version, and Switch if they will allow me.
Some update information
I have some good news: in the end, I will make last chapter have TWO possible storylines, so you'll have to play it twice, to see the whole content. As it's a tradition in similar cases, one ending will be shorter and less satisfying, while another will be much more interesting.
Patch 0.9.1.7 for the Beta
Found more bugs in last version, making fixes now.
When adding new content, I found more bugs in current version.
First, Russian conversations weren't translated correctly.
Second, there is a bug with conversation that starts when entering the kitchen.
I promise to fix both, as soon as it's possible, before going back to adding new content.
Patch 0.9.1.6 is bringing you Russian voiceovers at last!
We are happy to say, that we finally deployed a large patch, with Russian voiceovers.
We also now added achievements, both returned old ones, and added new.
And even fixed a few bugs we missed earlier:
1) In the very beginning: two hibernation pods that started closed, now start open.
2) In the very end, final videos couldn't be skipped, now they can.
3) Ending scene was earlier getting stuck, now a proper Beta ending window appears.
4) Many errors in Russian translation also were fixed.
Yes, there might be more bugs or text errors, so please notify us if you have something wrong.
But the most important part - creating Russian voiceovers is now done, and we will now concentrate of final version with full content starting from tomorrow.
And to everyone who celebrates it: We wish you a happy Victory Day!
Russian voiceovers are in progress
We haven't forgotten about our promise to add Russian voiceovers. We are doing them now, and hope to add them in a timeframe between a week and two.
We also plan to add achievements in the same patch. And if you report any bugs, we will fix them too.
