We added Crowd Control! If you're not familiar - Crowd Control lets twitch.tv viewers mess with your game. Earlier this year Sheena was part of a charity stream where the central premise was that streamers had teams that would mess with each other via Crowd Control. After it ended we were like "that was really cool", looked in to it, and found out that they were looking for Unity games who wanted to integrate Crowd Control. Coincidentally, Spooky's HD is a Unity game and we wanted to integrate Crowd Control.
To connect Crowd Control, go to the Options menu either from the Main Menu or in game. It will walk you through the steps to activate Crowd Control for the game. If you want more information and for questions that are about Crowd Control in general, visit https://crowdcontrol.live/. Your viewers will be able to spawn any of the chasers, force big rooms, give you unlimited stamina, or all kinds of other things. Including, as you might have guessed, Clown Time, which will make sure there are at least 10 clowns active.
Please note that Crowd Control is less effective in Karamari Hospital and The Dollhouse due to the nature of their layouts, you will not be able to spawn chasers in or force rooms. It is best experienced in Endless Mode or the Base Mansion. Endless Mode has a special Crowd Control leaderboard that isn't currently shown in the game but can be viewed from the Steam Community.
Additionally in this update we've upgraded our Unity engine version, added some nice music to the pause and options screens (by Jarren Crist), and fixed some bugs. Here's a list:
There may be other bugs that got fixed that aren't on the list because it's been a while and we just straight up forgot, or in the process of doing other things (i.e. ports, Crowd Control integration) things got cleaned up or fixed.
If you find new bugs or have questions, please post them in the Bug Reports & Solutions v2 Thread or join the discord. We'll see you there.
I would like to thank all of you for being patient with us, we're still here and still trying to get the last platform, SOUP, and BYOM in your hands. Life's been rough and it means a lot to the both of us that people are still excited enough to ask about it.

Hello fleshlings! The sun is upon us! Perfect time to stay inside and go to virtual worlds.
The main focus of this update is returning functionality to VR. A new version of Unity allowed the input technology we use to coexist with the Unity input system that works with VR controllers! So - SteamVR and OpenXR controllers are now officially supported!
When you launch the game from Steam there are now two options, one to play using SteamVR and one to play using OpenXR. Depending on your device, one may work better than the other, we recommend trying SteamVR first.
If your VR controllers do not work, you may need to reset the options to defaults. Due to the way our rebindable controls work, there is a chance that it won’t load the defaults and will assume that the VR controls aren’t bound to anything.
The bulk of the work on this update went in to upgrading Unity and making sure that VR worked overall, there’s still some interactions that are a little rough around the edges that we will clean up in the future. Additionally, we were only able to test on a Valve Index, and so while it should be the same on other devices, it might still need some fixing around the edges, and we hope you’ll help us out with that with good bug reports.
All of that out of the way, we did do some other things along the way:

WHAT’S NEXT
Next we are going to fix all the bugs that appeared out of nowhere because we did a major Unity version update. After that, we are working on SOUP. Spooky’s Object Upgrade Project. We’re creating 3d replacements for the remaining 2d sprite objects. And once we’re all SOUPed up, ports will be coming to a console near you!
Thanks for being here, and thanks for playing our game! If you run in to problems please check out our bug thread on the Steam forums - if someone hasn’t reported it yet follow the instructions there and help us get the information we need to fix it.

Today's the day we finally get to release The Dollhouse! What's The Dollhouse? Why a new free update that adds more content and lore, of course!
Continuing after Karamari Hospital, The Doll House exists in the deepest part of Spooky's Mansion. Brand new horrors, secrets, and...maybe friends await you within. Can you finally escape this menagerie of terror and put the spirits of the mansion to rest?
This new adventure brings new creatures called "Dolls", new lore, new game mechanics and much more.
Can you handle what lies behind the doors of The Doll House?
Please Note:
Due to limited time and illness, we were not able to add achievements and Endless Mode update during this launch. We plan to add achievements and new monsters to Endless in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support and patience.
Small Hotfix Update: SPOILERS AHEAD
1) Fixed ability to do Hellgate more than once if you left and returned to the lab (which broke the ending)
2) Fixed Husk animations getting stuck weird in certain cases
3) Fixed it being possible to have multiple dolls
4) Fixed furnace consuming the doll hands if you said you didn't want to put them in it

Happy Halloween!
So first off, the biggest news - Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation is coming to PlayStation 4 w/ PSVR support! It launches there on 10/29, and we’re really excited about it. They have very strict quality requirements, especially around VR, and so the VR experience has been enhanced and refined a LOT for everyone.
New trailer by stysmmaker!
What’s In This Update
Engine update (2017.2.2p2->2017.4.30f1): This is an update that we’ve been wanting to do for a while but finally had to in order to publish. Unity 2017.4 is their “Long Term Support” version where they don’t add features but only fix bugs in the engine itself, so we’re hoping that this provides some fixes for strange issues that people have had that are beyond the scope of what we can fix.
As mentioned above, there are a bunch of big VR changes that we’ve implemented, for the purpose of increasing comfort and the overall experience:
We realized that we were taking some overly cautious and very wasteful steps when loading rooms that would cause them to take a lot longer than they needed to, especially on slower hard drives. Removing those extra steps sped up loading by around 8x, causing new rooms to load in only a few frames. Because we now had all that extra time, we polished up the transition between rooms, so now the door opens to the unknown in a very over-engineered way where the speed of the door opening animation is based on how loud the sound effect it’s playing is. We applied similar techniques in to load things in parallel to reduce the game’s start up time too, so everything should feel quite a bit faster and smoother on the whole.
Akuma Kira made a 3D model for Spooky and it looks amazing. We integrated it using the same over-engineered audio code to make her mouth open and close based on how she’s talking. It’s also got a really cool “ghost world” visual effect that goes along with it and we like it a lot. You may have seen a preview of it if you pay attention to us on twitter. Unfortunately we don’t have a model yet for her halloween costume or nurse’s costume but those are coming, and using style swap you can still see them on the old Spooky (which also has mouth movement for talking too).
In the process of trying to make the Minigame Room load faster, we ended up completely rewriting it. Also, we got some renovated models and textures for the cabinets themselves. The result is super neat and we were glad to finally be able to give that room some love (after CAT-DOS got a bunch of attention last update). All the physical controls on the new minigame cabinets respond appropriately, there’s a new minor easter egg in Mall of the Spook, Ms Spook has an intro sequence, and Spooky Kart has a lot more cars to run over as a result of performance increases. Also all the cabinets had their audio rebalanced/adjusted plus had their music tracks broken up in to looping segments to create a more arcadey experience (overengineering audio is a running theme of this update).
Something we’ve seen be confusing for people is where their Endless Mode scores end up, since Steam kind of hides that information. In order to address that we decided to add a button to the main menu to display some leaderboard highlights. This new “Endless Scores” displays three views on the current Endless leaderboard: Top 20, My Score, and Friends. The Top 20 displays the 20 highest scores on the current leaderboard (as you might expect), My Score displays 20 scores around you (including your score), and Friends shows the scores of all your Steam friends (including you) so you can see how you stack up! Also as a part of this we updated the Endless game over to include a final “Endless Report” screen that tells you your new highest score and rank if you beat your old score, or tells you that previously you did better. Hopefully this makes the leaderboards aspect of Endless less confusing and makes people more inclined to participate.
Minor Updates
These updates are small and don’t have big explanations behind them.
Bug Fixes
What’s Next
We’ve been working on the updates above and the PlayStation port at full steam since the last update in the summer. We know you’re all curious as to what’s next with regards to what we’ve laid out before. All of this is in theory and life keeps throwing us curve balls so this is what we’re hoping our plan is.
The next big update will be Spooky’s Dollhouse, this has been in progress for a while now. We’re working closely with Akuma Kira (who made the original Spooky’s with Sheena) on it, but he is also working on Lost in Vivo (which you should play) so work has been slow on it. Hopefully it will be done by Christmas but, again, no promises.
Additionally in that update we’d like to renovate Specimen 13’s area and chase. She’s still one of the few that hasn’t been updated or tweaked, and frankly her chase is kind of boring and anticlimactic after everything else in the mansion.
The Dollhouse update will come with a new Endless leaderboard and new specimen in Endless Mode. We are going to continue tweaking and refining mechanics. Currently Endless is in a pretty good spot in terms of removing unfair or overly random mechanics, but it might be a bit too easy in the long run/too easy to keep going infinitely.
BYOM work will officially start after dollhouse has been released.
Finally
If you encounter any bugs or issues, please report them in this post in the steam forums.
Play Lost in Vivo, made by Akuma Kira! It's scary.

Hello! We've been working on a bunch of stuff!
First off, Spooky's Dollhouse isn't ready yet - we're still plugging away at it. We're working with Akuma Kira on it and their time is split with working on updates to Lost in Vivo as well. This patch is a collection of fixes and improvements that we've been working on in the mean time. We realized we've actually done a ton of work and it's good stuff that we ought to share with you.
There were substantial enough changes to existing specimen/rooms/mechanics that we are doing a fresh new leaderboard for Endless Mode. It's called (uncreatively) Endless Summer 2019 and you can find it in the community hub.
The full patch notes contain spoilers, so read on from here if you're okay with that. Additionally Serious Sean made a video that covers most of the changes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4TRYH3aRgI
Full Patch Notes:
Specimen
General Specimen Updates:
- The ability to specimen reset has been removed.
- Specimen who break doors down now rattle the doors before breaking them. You can also see specimen coming through the area behind the doors after the door has been broken (regardless of how physically improbable the door position might be). Also fixed some minor logic around the direction the door got kicked in.
- New cool looking flow mapping shader on Specimen 7 and the boss fight for Specimen 9
- Ran a fine toothed comb over the specimen hit/hallucination effects. They were previously operating under incorrect timings and they've been restored (Specimen 8, 10, and 11 specifically)
- Same as above but with all the static effects in the game. They're much more pixel perfect and scale better with different resolutions.
- HUGE update on all the killscreens, went over them with a fine toothed comb to fix timing and visual issues. They also work a lot better in VR since they are now "attached" to your face so the 2D ones will play out like a movie rather than being a strange floating plane.
Specimen 3:
- Specimen 3 got a behavior review, new animations, and a killscreen. Hopefully his neck won't break anymore when chasing people.
Specimen 9 / Taker Boss Fight:
- Changed how Specimen 9 boss form picks attacks so if you reflect multiple fireballs at him it doesn't start a several versions of the next form. This way is also easier to maintain and/or change.
- Updated the Specimen 9 boss fight screen effect visuals to be better.
- Specimen 9 got an AFK killscreen that's different from the normal killscreen to hopefully clue people in on his behavior more.
- Added a new Specimen 9 Boss reveal cutscene.
- Updated the Specimen 9 Boss Good Ending sequence. It looks neato now.
Specimen 10:
- Specimen 10's little scare in the ducts works properly again and some ambient sounds were fixed.
- Updated Specimen 10's behavior. It now retains its form between rooms, when it is in parasite form it breaks doors down very quickly, however when the parasite catches you it gestates momentarily before returning to its walking form. This should make Specimen 10's mechanics more obvious to new players and make it more fair in Endless mode.
- Made Specimen 10's damage overlay more efficient. A few people on lower powered computers were reporting issues with it so it now operates much faster.
Specimen 11:
- Updated some of Specimen 11's area, new models for the meat in the freezer and new effects in the freezer. Fixed the mirror not "tracking" the player.
Specimen 12:
- Updated Specimen 12's behavior. He now has a stamina meter much like the player, and when it charges up he yells and sprints towards you very quickly. Once his meter is expired he has to walk for a little bit before he can sprint again.
Specimen 13:
- New whale in Specimen 13's area.
Mansion Changes/Updates:
- Added the "Did you think it would end serious?" message back before the credits.
- How rooms and specimen are loaded was changed to make it a consistent staged process, eliminating a lot of strange timing bugs that were difficult to track down. This also means that you no longer skip the fade-from-black in a room when a specimen has respawned.
- How rooms generate and store their geometry has been updated so they don't re-do it every time you load a room.
- Added a new set of rooms to Endless mode after room 500 that can potentially spawn that have multiple doorways that Specimen can enter through.
- Updated CAT-DOS. Switched it to work like the minigame room arcade machines and returned its old secret glitchy state.
- Reformatted & updated the credits. Everyone say hi to SeriousSean and Teshno in the credits.
- Updates to the in game HUD, a new damage animation, and some other under the hood changes.
- Doors you enter a room from no longer have a handle to signify you came from said door.
Options Changes/Updates
- Updated the Options substantially with a selection indicator and a number of small fixes to make them easier to use and navigate.
- Added smoothed FOV animations to the intro cutscene.
- Added an option to turn VSync off and to set your target framerate. Spooky's is a really light game so if we didn't have a target framerate option it can go over 1000fps and that breaks physics. Turning VSync off can help if you feel like your mouse inputs are slightly delayed.
- Added an in-game timer that shows how much time you've played a save. You can show it while you're playing via a new option in the options menu. It's still a little bit of a work in progress.
Misc Changes/Updates
- The way weapons & offhands (like the flashlight & lantern) work was rewritten. Weapons now use real animations rather than being driven entirely through scripts. These changes don't have gameplay effects but are part of restructuring code to be BYOM ready.
- Use camera distance fog rather than camera near plane distance fog. This removes some high-FOV exploits and generally looks better. In rooms where people relied on using FOV exploits (the big abyss rooms) the fog distance has been increased so you can still check the path in front of you.
- Updates to how interactables are picked. This makes it a lot more consistent and cases like the Specimen 3 Lab key card behave more how you would expect plus removes some strange deadzones around Specimen 13's keys.
- Switched to doing color grading with a look-up-table (LUT) for specimen color effects, replacing old color filter effects. This means that if Lisa & Tirsiak chase you at the same time your vision is no longer almost black.
- Updated how the player moves when crawling to play the footstep noises and head bob properly.
- Steam now connects after the splash video so it shouldn't make the intro stutter anymore.
- Made UI Bleeps more consistent, especially in the options that were very bleep-less.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed the problem where you would lose sensitivity or button mappings for controllers if you started the game with them plugged in if they had been plugged in before. Now you should be able to plug, unplug, start the game with it plugged in, whatever your setup may be.
- Made the text on the note that spawns Specimen 2 less blindingly bright
- Pausing while Specimen 6 descends from or ascends to the ceiling no longer freezes/crashes the game.
- The combination lock in Specimen 13's area is actually blurry if you don't have the lantern
- Water footstep sounds weren't playing after exiting Specimen 13's area
- White Face has been fixed. Probably.
- Monster 2 has a back to the model.
- Flashlight wasn't showing up in the school sections.
- Doors in the lab caused a slight view jump when you used them.
- Bunk bed ladders have a back side now.
- Unknown Specimen 5's Specimen 1's weren't cleaned up if you died or exited to menu while they were active and they would persist through subsequent new/loaded games.
- Some menus were missing English localization.
- Some of Specimen 12's closet pieces were on the wrong layer and could soft lock the game/break everything.
- Pressing the UI Submit button on a controller from a game over screen would instantly select new game again.
- There was an incorrect navmesh in one of the hallway rooms with the railings that (non-incorporeal) Specimen would walk right through.
- You could get stuck in Otto's spawn room if you had specimen off. Now you can eat the floor pizza and move on, as is intended.
- Specimen 9 can no longer get you in Specimen 12's area while you're hiding. Enough people complained that we changed it.
- You can't get stuck behind the doors in the white room in the ending sequence anymore.
6/25/2019 Evening Quick Fixes
Pushed a quick patch with some stuff reported by the community:
- Tirsiak doesn't make dark fish rooms in Endless too dark to see.
- Specimen 6 no longer counts some time between room loads as time you not looking at him so he could attack you randomly in the next room rather than descending from the door.
- The Spec 9 boss cannot be walked through in his vulnerable form anymore.
- Fixed multiple duplicate specimen using the new LUT (Tirsiak, Lisa) clearing the LUT too early when one despawned but one was still active.
- Fixed a really weird navmesh on one of the ramp halls
- Changed the lower bound of target fps to 30 in the options when vsync is disabled.
- Fixed Monster 2's glitch effect (it had the wrong sprite).
- Fixed the 3d model of the whale popping in weirdly.
- Fixed a high FOV problem on Specimen 9's killscreen
- Fixed you being able to pause during the Specimen 9 boss fight intro
- Fixed Otto running through the door before breaking it
- Fixed the material on the fish tanks losing its shininess.
- Fixed white face breaking the game again if he "killed" you while a room was loading
07/08/2019 Patch
- Fixed ability to open the menu & be in control of the game at the same time (which was allowing for a lot of other really weird behavior like duplicate room loads).
- Fixed (a slightly different reason for) the issue where Spec 9 could come after you unexpectedly after hiding in Specimen 12's area.
- Prevent you from being able to swing your weapon while hiding in Specimen 12's area.
- Changed Unknown Specimen 1 (White Face)'s teleport to prevent him from teleporting directly on top of you (giving him a free hit).
- Fixed some misaligned stuff that was causing floating Specimen 2 puddles in Unknown Specimen 1's second phase.
- Fixed the Endless version of Monster 2's spawn room so if you skip spawning him or his sequence doesn't finish he still chases you as normal.
- Changed some of Endless Monster 2's logic so that he has a short cooldown between teleports - reducing the chance he gets a free hit on you if you have to walk close to the spawn door.
- Replaced the "50/50 Room" with an Endless-specific version that has a short hallway to make it less fatal.
- Now your Endless score is written when you save so the leaderboards should be easier to track your progress on.
07/22/2019 Patch
- "No Escape" text in endless is back when you're being chased (it was a text bug - the button still didn't work)
- VR menu un-broken in options
- Spec 9 Boss fireballs do damage again
Good luck out there all you fleshy live ones! :spookycloseup:

I know it's been quite some time but here's some patch notes to go along with your Halloween Update! Make sure to load the game so you can see Spooky in her awesome Halloween costume, do you know what her costume is?
General
Added invincibility frames when you get hit - you're invincible for the duration of the red screen effect (approximately 0.3s). This means that the 50/50 locked door room isn't an instant run killer with three specimen in endless.
Fixed fog getting stuck after exiting or finishing a mansion, which would make the main menu look odd after Karimari Hospital.
Spruced up the main menu background - it's now at least 75% more ambiant.
Fixed the UI scaling/sizes to be consistent (everything will look a bit smaller, but more computer-appropriate). This doesn't really affect you at all but it means font sizes are consistent.
Added a selection indicator to the main menu & to mansion selection since the scaling wasn't super obvious. You might recognize it from the original game.
Added discord integration. If you let discord show what game you're playing, it'll show the wall texture of where you are, what mansion you're in, and display the room number you're at.
Fixed potential for look & movement to get locked while opening a note. This was a weird race condition.
Fixed notes spawning during specimen chases. The note counter only goes up when you read a note though - so if you missed one in the past you didn't really ever miss it.
Base Mansion
Specimen 12 had a bunch of work done:
- Spamming use on hiding spots won't glitch them anymore
- A bunch of audio polish
- Some new animations
- You can shimmy around in the hiding spots again
Specimen 2 has new animations. He's extra goopy now.
Specimen 4 has new animations. OooOOOoooOOOo.
Specimen 8's minion deer have 3d models and animations. It's Moose's first time doing any kind of real animations so hopefully they're not too bad.
Endless Mode
Enough changes were made that it's not fair to compare the new scores to the old scores - so writes have been disabled to the old leaderboard and now there's a new Halloween 2018 leaderboard that you will have to start a new Endless save to get on the boards again! All the old scores are preserved for posterity, so everyone can remember SeriousSean's 10,420 room run.
Spooper (Unknown Specimen 3) cannot cause you to vomit while there are other specimen chasing you. This is the most asked for feature by everyone who played endless mode.
EM Monster 2 can't hover over pits anymore. This was an oversight on its pathfinding settings. Oops.
EM Monster 4 also can't hover over pits anymore. Same as above.
Fixed Tirsiak's (Unknown Specimen 4) kill screen so it's not black fog anymore. Oops.
What's Next?
Akuma Kira finished work on Lost in Vivo recently, so more work towards the final DLC will happen soon, hopefully.
We're doing some exploratory work for BYOM, but that won't have results for a while.
In between other contract work we will continue to poke at Spooky's here and there, so expect more trickle-updates in the future with bits of renovations here and there.
As always post your bug reports in the forums in this thread
We also have a Discord server if you'd like to join open discussions about Spooky's!
NEW PLATFORM - OSX ! We did it! We got Mac working! There are no feature differences between it and Windows. We weren’t able to get super good test coverage on it because the only OSX computer we could test with is a late 2013 MacBook Pro running High Sierra(Thanks Delta Bouche),

FURTHER RENOVATIONS - Specimen 7 has a neato updated scripted room in the Base Mansion & Endless. Go hang out with everyone’s favorite mystical cat and agonized flesh wall.
STYLE SWAP - Oops. We forgot about this one for a while. But it’s in now! Go set a key for it and swap to your heart’s content.
ENDLESS NERFS - Tiri’s shadows only require one axe swing now and disappear substantially quicker. Bekka won’t spawn twice at a door and chases you for a shorter time. The spawn logic has been changed to prevent multiple spawns of Spooper & Bekka at the same time. The logic for how the specimen rooms are chosen in Endless Mode has also been updated to provide a more fair but still very random way of constructing the endless mansion (a far lower likelihood of getting Spooper and Bekka as your first two). Additionally we added a system where there can only be one instance of any given screen effect (Like Specimen 4’s alternate form static) to both help with performance and make duplicates of specimen with those effects more fair.
AXE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE - Specimen 11 and Specimen 3 can be hit with the axe now.
BUG FIXES:
I think there were a couple other bugs fixed but they didn’t get written down and StealthyMoose’s commit logs are mostly just non-specific screaming. What a goof.
Make sure to post any bugs on the forums so we can respond and please follow us on Twitter for more updates and news!

We weren’t able to get super good test coverage on it because the only OSX computer we could test with is a late 2013 MacBook Pro running High Sierra(Thanks Delta Bouche), so please bear with us for any Mac-specific problems - if you’re reporting a bug PLEASE include whether it occurred on Windows or Mac!
FURTHER RENOVATIONS - Specimen 7 has a neato updated scripted room in the Base Mansion & Endless. Go hang out with everyone’s favorite mystical cat and agonized flesh wall.
STYLE SWAP - Oops. We forgot about this one for a while. But it’s in now! Go set a key for it and swap to your heart’s content.
ENDLESS NERFS - Tiri’s shadows only require one axe swing now and disappear substantially quicker. Bekka won’t spawn twice at a door and chases you for a shorter time. The spawn logic has been changed to prevent multiple spawns of Spooper & Bekka at the same time. The logic for how the specimen rooms are chosen in Endless Mode has also been updated to provide a more fair but still very random way of constructing the endless mansion (a far lower likelihood of getting Spooper and Bekka as your first two). Additionally we added a system where there can only be one instance of any given screen effect (Like Specimen 4’s alternate form static) to both help with performance and make duplicates of specimen with those effects more fair.
AXE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE - Specimen 11 and Specimen 3 can be hit with the axe now.
BUG FIXES:
I think there were a couple other bugs fixed but they didn’t get written down and StealthyMoose’s commit logs are mostly just non-specific screaming. What a goof.
Make sure to post any bugs on the forums so we can respond and please follow us on Twitter for more updates and news!

Hi everyone, It's been over a month since our last update - whoops. We've been super busy with some really cool things for Spooky's and we honestly lost track of how long it's been. With that said, let's get down to business. -Tirsiak, White Face, Baby Cage, Body Bag, and Otto ar
Hi everyone,
It's been over a month since our last update - whoops. We've been super busy with some really cool things for Spooky's and we honestly lost track of how long it's been. With that said, let's get down to business.
-Tirsiak, White Face, Baby Cage, Body Bag, and Otto are finally in-game and in testing for our QA. Spooper, Bekka, Cow, and Lisa are almost ready!
-Options menu is still being worked on
-More rooms! There's a fish tank with fish in it! They swim!
-New door models!
-Each specimen has a starting room when they spawn during Endless Mode.
Steam Friends List Leaderboards for Endless mode will be added along with achievements with this update too! Unfortunately Steam doesn't let us test those without making the achievements show up for everyone, so we're gonna make sure they work immediately upon launch.
Mac and Linux ports are still coming, don't you worry! These ports are coming after Endless Mode is released, before work starts on Build Your Own Mansion, so that all the code is solid on all the different platforms.
We know FOR A FACT that this update will come out by October 31st!
Enjoy these gifs and stay tuned for the next update!

Hey everyone! I'm back with another update, I'm sure you've all been wondering what we've been up to.
Albino Moose Games is FINALLY out of con season! We were at E3, Too Many Games and Anime Expo! With all of these conventions only 1 week apart from each other, we hadn't really had time to work on the game itself.
Once con season ended, StealthyMoose and I went right back to work. Here's what we've been working on.
-We're almost done with all the new room sets for Endless Mode
-Adding all the original endless monsters are almost finished.
-New options menu is also currently being worked on.
Once these things are finished, our next steps are:
-Adding NEW Endless mode monsters that weren't in the original.
-Steam achievements
-Steam Friend list Leaderboard for Endless mode
We're really excited to launch this big patch but sadly we don't have a release date just yet. Hopefully in the next update we'll have something for you.
MAC AND LINUX USERS:
-Linux and Mac ports are still planned. We want the game to be in stable working conditions on Windows, then the porting will begin.
FOR THOSE WONDERING ABOUT THE FINAL DLC:
Akuma Kira and I are still working on it.
-The final DLC will be available as a free update for those with the HD remake.
-The Final DLC will also come to the original game but for purchase. Probably 3 dollars USD like the Hospital DLC.
That's all we have to report for now. Please enjoy 3 gifs of the new options menu and a new Endless Mode Exclusive room.
