Developer posts and news about this game.

Hey, everyone! How you doing? Yesterday was a big day for the development of EMPTY SHELL 2 : ) I can finally say that I've completed one of the last major tasks on the list: the final dynamic spawn of all the game's equipment ! And I can say that's a big relief, considering it to
Having grown up with the first generation of FPS games (Doom and the so called "Doom clones", as every FPS was called back then), I remember how amazed I was as a child when I first saw in Duke Nukem 3D shell casings being ejected from the pistol, or shotgun shells during the pum
Hello, everyone! How are you? I'd like to give you some updates on the development : ) tldr; I'm working on distributing and balancing (a lot of) equipment and (a lot of) enemies throughout the game, and later on I'd like to have some beta testers . So, I've finally finished all

Hey, everyone! Thanks for all the ideas you shared in the last post :) I've designed already a few weapons based on some of your suggestions ... I hope you'll like wandering the facility armed with one of those! I've also turned one of the suggestions ( that sort of glue gun that
Hey, everyone! I'm taking a break from creating locations to go back to working on weapons . I've already added quite a few new ones, but I'd love to know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see in EMPTY SHELL 2 ! Real world references or fictional ones, anything goes
Hi, everyone! I hope you’re enjoying the holidays : ) I wanted to share a small update about something I added a few days ago. I've added a new set of animations for volunteers when using one-handed weapons (for example semi-auto pistols, revolvers, short SMG, etc.). I postponed
Hello, everyone! Even if the release is not quite around the corner yet, I'm happy to say that I'm roughly 75% done with the locations for EMPTY SHELL 2 : ) Now, even once I reach 100% of this, there will still be other things left to do , but I'm trying to focus on this task bec
Hey, everyone! Just a quick update that makes the main menu camera image dynamic , to add a bit of flavour. I was working on this on the full version and i thought it made sense to bring the feature in the demo as well! (Even though the images aren't final yet) And, if you're enj

Hey everyone, just fixed an issue in the demo that sometimes was causing the difficulty to reset to "Easy" : )
Hey, everyone! I realize that some players prefer more action and don’t feel like messing around with terminals and command-based navigation . I didn’t want to just add a simple option entry, so, something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, I created a new view called " Modifie
