there's still work needed to be done but i've completed level 2. now onto level 3.
little changes will be made throughout the development but trust me, mid december release is possible especially for early access. now i'm thinking perhaps i'll drop a demo!
i hope y'all enjoy it tho
About the 2.0 version and the current status of secret backrooms.
Yo, I am once again posting this to get a little insight on the game's update. Tomorrow I'll be working my way through finishing level 2 and one more if I can squeeze my time into it then dropping the release of the brand new version just so you guys can get a glimpse of what it has to offer.
As of now you all might be aware that the UI and the mechanics are different. I am using unreal engine 4 and not 5 due to some performance issues (cause I don't have a pc but a crappy laptop that runs the game just fine.) stamina, battery and fear do a great combination alongside the level design of each level. There will be dark areas that raise the fear meter and the flashlight won't do justice. You'll never know who's behind the shadows or even behind you. My goal is to make it more scary and stressful than it was before. Making it less confusing and more so terrifying to roam around the levels.
As i said this game will have 3 levels for starters in early access whilst adding a new mode (basically replacing the survival mode) to keep it interesting and have a longer playtime since just 3 levels won't do much.
Im pretty satisfied with the graphics though so no need to improve on that.
Anyways tomorrow I'll hop back home and begin working on the game and post a few screenshots to give you guys a better idea of what's to come
Post your comments on what the game should have before I release the early access.
The truth about the game.
Hello, I'm coming forward to everyone to say a few things that happen behind the scenes And to tell everyone what is going on as of lately.
I've been quite busy with another game of mine called hypersense which is a fast paced platformer. You can check it out if you want, it's there if you want to also just play until 2.0 comes out. Secret backrooms lacks a bunch of stuff that really could shine its full potential Many have said there's potential to this game. And what I'm doing right now is kinda unneceptable. Because I'm working on a different game and then like work on this game. Secret backrooms may get the biggest update with an overhaul but i believe that whatever direction this game is headed to is a good one and i hope it stays.
I mean seriously, having a fear meter, stamina, limited battery and the fact that. There's monsters just to increase your fear would just be insane to think the amount of mechanics this game can have while making it truly scary and stressful.
Monsters that chase you and monsters that stalk you. This is what the backrooms was all about was it? No. The liminality of this game is where it shines. I mean having long corridors Makes it somewhat limimal. But having different kinds of rooms is where the definition of liminality gets validated. Meaning it is a limimal space. It's an empty room, no one's in there. That's what limimal is. But having the fear of being watched is a different kind of thing Added on top of liminality.
Anyway I'm hoping that secret backrooms 2.0 comes out with a bang and does get improved overtime.,

Secret backrooms 2.0 demo
Hello, I’ve come fourth to inform you all that a demo will be available or perhaps an early access version of the new update. Perhaps a new edition of the game.
Few levels will be included with the prologue that im planning on making. Perhaps this would be a great idea for a fresh new game that no one expected. A better overhaul? Maybe. Up to you guys. Here’s a little screenshot
bad news..
i've got some REALLY bad news and i mean it does happen at times but i didnt expect this game though.
i've found out that the project file was deleted.
that means months of work has been all for nothing. dont worry though. that means i'll make it bigger and better! it'll still be a version, just... a massive overhaul i guess. levels that were less interesting become more interesting and unique, cutscenes too!
enhanced edition could be more than this game than i expected.
i guess y'all gotta wait for a couple of weeks.
Secret backrooms final update?
Heyo! I’ll have to make an update that will help out the game being more complete and also Some bad news to those who wish for a multiplayer.
Let’s get the bad news out the way first: I’ll be removing entirely the multiplayer aspect of the game until it’s fully working but for now the game will stay single player.
The good stuff now begins!: -New secret levels will be added! -Few level changes will be made
Stay tuned for the enhanced edition details! One thing I’ll say though is that the enhanced edition will come out early-mid 2023
Update 1.3 OUT!
- Minor AI Fixes - LAN Multiplayer added
Update 1.3
Hello! i've come to say i have thought of just putting LAN multiplayer and then put the full-on multiplayer later on since i have to figure out a lot of stuff for that to work.
so in the upcoming update 1.3 there will be minor fixes to the ai and the addition to the lan multiplayer.
i hope this is enough for y'all to enjoy while i figure out how to make the multiplayer work just fine.
and a massive thank you to everyone playing this game even if it's short you can have some fun with your friends!
1.2
removed multiplayer
Multiplayer temporary shutdown
well things didnt go as planned soo a quick update will be made removing the multiplayer temporarily until i find something that could fix the issue.
i deeply apologise to everyone for waiting for your friends to hop in and get jumpscared but until then if i dont find a solution i'll just have to do a lan multiplayer instead.. or maybe... have that replaced temporarily (unless there's a big demand for having both)
