Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
I wanted to let everyone here know that Inside Depth 6's Steam page is now LIVE! After many months of development, I am very happy to say that the game is almost finished and ready to provide you all with some long awaited spooks.
I have learned a lot from Suite 776 and lots of the feedback received. I have taking this feedback very seriously and have applied the following to Depth 6:
- Multiple endings,
- A random variant system (some events will trigger differently for everybody),
- Longer gameplay and a stronger focus on story,
- Significantly more exploration relative to Suite 776,
- More secrets and optional puzzles to take part in,
- and of course, an Easter egg; who doesn't love a little bit of Easter egg love?
So what are my plans once Inside Depth 6 is released?
Once Inside Depth 6 is fully live, I intend to push out a couple of updates to the game within 1-2 months time. This is to scrub a couple of triggers, add a couple of additional areas to explore and a few additional scares.
Most of my time after launch will be focused on research. Due to Covid, I am focusing full time on Game development and Youtube, so this will allow me to focus on researching areas of game development like advanced AI, animations, and most importantly, for me, it gives me time to finally look into virtual reality (VR). It has been a long-awaited dream of mine to delve into some VR development, so now with all of this extra time to focus on game dev, I can allocate a lot of resources to VR research, And who knows, maybe I will be able to add VR support to Depth 6 and Suite 776 within the next several months.
Another area of importance for me is to research controller support and localization. I know that controller support and a lack of additional languages is a major negative to my titles, so I hope to implement some form of controller support and localization in the future - please bear with me on that! :)
So as always, I wish you all a safe and enjoyable 2021, happy gaming, stay safe, and I look forward to hearing from you all once Depth 6 has been released March 12!
