Alpha 4.0.0 & Future Plans
Hello hello! Glad to have Alpha 4 done & over with. Our next major update will be Beta 1! How exciting! (Beta 1 means all the features of the game will be complete. It's all bug fixing from here, folks!)
I kept things simple for Alpha 4. I've focused on remapping area's I had neglected in previous builds. I've also added more lore & extra environmental tidbits. Also, Letsplayers & Streamers will be happy to hear that the game resizes a lot better now. I'm sorry it took so long for me to fix this.
Here's the list of new features:
- The Lab, the Nursery, the Oracle room, & Evan/Yvon/Keit's areas have all been remapped.
- New environmental text has been added.
- Some minor horror elements have been sprinkled in.
- PIGEONS
- Being hit by a robot will no longer cause insta-death.
- And, Screen resizing is a lot more flexible now!
Regarding the project's future, I've recently tweeted about some concerns I've had:

I feel increasingly burnt out. Working on the same project for 3+ years leaves it's mark. My mind needs to focus on other things. I'll take the rest of the month off & will get Beta 1 done by May. From that point on, I'll take a break from development.
However, that doesn't mean I won't be working on the project. Far from it! I'll gather a group of Beta Testers & create a master list of bugs to fix. I'll also search for a publisher. I believe it's in the best interest of the game to gather the resources & ensure the game reaches as many hands as possible. I also have other business related tasks to tackle along with other things...
Things like... Making a
Steam page.
On that note, take care & until next time! ;)
