First off, I would like to say thank you to everyone, for the amazing positive reaction to Emily Wants To Play. There have been so many players, let’s players, live streamers, and spectators that have said many great things about the game. I truly appreciate it and it keeps me super motivated to make more for everyone.
Right now I am working on porting the game to several more platforms over the next couple of months. It is headed to the Mac App Store right now. I am trying to get it on the Playstation 4, Xbox One and possibly Steam Machines. A mobile release for iOS and Android is in the works too. I would like to fully support VR, so when I get my hands on some VR equipment, I will update the game to be completely playable on VR. It does work with VR right now (Oculus), but Mr. Tatters has 0 patience for head movement. Although, if you want, you can hang out with Kiki in VR at midnight.
I am also researching how to support more languages. It is being played all over the world and I really want to support more languages.
I have updated the game several times since release to fix various glitches and balance the gameplay more. Here is a list of some of the important changes:
-Emily was moonwalking in some cases! I had to tell her to stop that.
-The video settings are working correctly now and it saves correctly. If you change to windowed mode, the screen will stay like that after you die or restart.
-Vsync is set to ON when you start. You can turn it off, but screen tearing may occur. I have tested it many ways, and Vsync ON gives the best quality.
-Kiki was given the ability to do a little more than just disappear. She might feel like turning off the lights or maybe she feels like appearing behind you again.
-If Chester is feeling energetic, he may sometimes go a little farther than normal.
-Chester is now 10 times faster! ;) (Just kidding! His speed is the same.)
-Mr. Tatters was happy with himself and he stayed the same.
-If you cheat Emily’s game, she will never give up trying to get you. She WILL find a way!
And to those of you who have asked if there will be a sequel… YES :)
Thank you to everyone for playing Emily Wants To Play,
Shawn
