Hey guys! Hope you are all doing well! Lots is happening behind the scenes. I've been super busy juggling a full time day job, a side job Livestreaming for Clickteam, and chipping away at other projects related to The Obsessive Shadow!
First up is a small patch related to Achievements. I've gotten a few reports of certain achievements not unlocking for some folks, so that should be patched up now.
Here are the things fixed in v2.0.5:
- Fixed certain Steam Achievements not unlocking when they should
- Fixed an issue with the sensitivity settings causing even the max sensitivity level to feel too low on controller.
- Updated Credits to include some names previously forgotten by mistake (whoops!)
Now that we've got that out of the way. Time for the fun part, "What's next?"
A lot is coming! Firstly, There will be a booth for The Obsessive Shadow at Galaxy Con Nashville May 29-31! I'll be joined by Eryn Andrews who voices Nicole (the mom on the phone) in The Obsessive Shadow, along with OshaBruh who I collaborated with to bring The Obsessive Shadow to Fortnite! There will also be an EXCLUSIVE, NEVER BEFORE SEEN DEMO of The Obsessive Shadow CHAPTER 2 that you can come play at Galaxy Con this year! Additionally, expect a really cool life sized photo op with the shadow monster himself!
We also have a SECOND convention with a HUGE 30x30ft zone for all things The Obsessive Shadow at AKAICON in Lebanon, TN which runs June 26-28th! I will be joined by the director of the official Short-film Adaptation Daniel "D. Maxwell" Blaul and there is going to be lots to see! Expect cool set pieces straight from the game, VR Demos of both the base game AND Chapter 2 (along with a NON VR station for chapter 1), Photo ops, An area to play the Fortnite map with some friends, and more! If you are attending either of these, please don't hesitate to come say hi to me! I love meeting you guys and I'm VERY excited for these two upcoming events!
As far as Chapter 2 goes, there's still lots going on behind the scenes. There are lots of moving parts right now to ensure this is made right. It's going to be a lot bigger, and a lot scarier than chapter 1 so buckle up!
And finally, Updates on the PSVR2/PS5 Release:
For those of you who have been patiently (and very eagerly) waiting for the PSVR2/PS5 release of The Obsessive Shadow, I want to say that it is still very much coming. It is my absolute #1 priority right now and it is my main area of focus whenever I work on the game at all as of now. I'm really hoping to have it out before or on Halloween this year, but time will tell. (Hopefully before then)
This is my first time porting to consoles ever let alone working with Playstation Hardware/Platforms especially considering I'm porting/publishing this mainly solo. I know you guys are excited, but don't worry, It'll be here soon enough! I want to ensure this port is really special to you guys and I want to ensure that it is a fantastic experience!
Last thing I want to plug here is the merch store which I haven't talked too much about here on Steam. If you haven't seen it yet, we've got a LOT of cool designs by a LOT of cool people! We even have a few designs by some people who work officially on the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise as artists which is really cool!
Go check it out here!
As always, thank you guys so much for the support. It truly means everything to me and I am ridiculously excited to show you guys what other insane things are in store for this game series! If you want to get in touch with us, or hang out, etc then join our public discord server here!
That's all for now, Cya guys soon ;)
