Hello fellow gaming aficionados!!
It’s been some time since our last update, as we have been hard at work progressing on The Days
After. As we continue development and move towards a near release date, we thought this would be a good time to re-engage the community and provide regular updates on game development, while receiving feedback and suggestions from your collective hours of gaming experience.
Like you, we are avid gamers and our goal is to deliver a VR gaming experience that players
want and deserve for their hard earned coin, without repeating the mistakes made by other
developers consumed in the grip of the cash grab.
First, allow me to share with you who we are, how we got here, what we are accomplishing, and
how you can help.
Five Finger Studios is an independent gaming company consisting of a small group of individuals.
How small? Uh…yea, well, there are two of us. Three years ago we quit our jobs and have been
focusing on the development of The Days After, full-time, with some support and mentorship
from major headset makers, and VR industry experts. No turning back now.
The Days After takes place in a post-event zombie apocalypse. A story driven kill-fest, using
some seen before, as well as some improved game mechanics. Well balanced puzzles that allow the player to interact with the world and utilize items to craft things to their advantage. We have also optimized the game to run and look good on a wide range of PC specifications and VR headsets.
While in development we continue to keep an eye on new and innovative gaming techniques,
ideas, community feedback, and frankly, VR game releases. The recent game releases (we all
know what they are) as of late, have been both inspirational and impressive, and a strong catalyst for
our desire to develop a great game. Let’s be honest, we all have our own ideas of what makes a
great VR game, and we want to hear yours.
Every time we don on our headsets and dive into a new or sometimes old game, we
wonder…”What works? What doesn’t work? How can we make it better?”
We take our answers to these questions and try to incorporate them into The Days After, but we can’t
do it alone. In the name of progress and delivering the gaming experience that captures the best
of all your ideas and leaves the “what’s wrong” on the cutting room floor, we will be fully
engaging in the Steam Community Board to update you on game progress, schedules, screen
shots, game mechanics, and most importantly, solicit suggestions. Your participation is kindly
requested.
In the meantime, here is a list of links to refresh your memory and keep you occupied until the
next update. We will provide regular updates to the Steam Board, so click on
the “follow” button to make sure you don’t miss anything.
