Suite 776 News

Hello, everybody. I hope you are all doing very well.

I wanted to let you all know that my latest horror Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow at 10am PST / 11am Mountain time.

Is Simon There? will be slightly different from some of my more recent releases (i.e. Within Skerry and Inside Depth 6) in that it will focus primarily on creating an atmosphere for the player to dive into.

Is Simon There? will have fewer required puzzles (excluding optional puzzles) and fewer "aimless, eventless wandering". My goal is to tell a story while keeping you on the edge of your seat, while anticipating the next event to happen.

Of course, like my previous games, Is Simon There? will include 3 endings and 1 Easter Egg/ special ending. I've toned the difficulty of these optional puzzles down a little so that the vast majority of players can experience all the game has to offer without relying on too many guides.

AND finally, no more getting knocked-out black screens. Nothing but silky smooth progression, a dark story, a neat little Easter Egg, and a hand full of intuitive puzzles to keep you thinking, throughout the 40 minute long journey.

Once again, Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow (May 06, 2022). And as always, if you play the game, please leave an honest review. I would love to know what you enjoyed and disliked about the game.

Once Is Simon There? has been published, I will be spending some time researching new mechanics / systems to implement into new games (i.e. controller support, advanced AI, potential VR, etc)

Cheers, everybody!

Hello, everybody.

It has recently come to my attention that I could have a Steam Page displaying all my products, news, etc. A nice little convenient place for everything TurnVex! I love how it took me 5 years to figure this out.

Feel free to check it out and shoot me a follow if you want to keep updated with everything TurnVex (new releases, news, etc).

To visit the page, from any of my games, click on either the Publisher or Developer name and BOOM, you have entered new TurnVex territory.



Thank you, everybody. Please let me know if I am missing anything, or if there is anything I can add to the page to make this a little cooler.

CHEERS!

Is Simon There? is coming soon! (Steam Page now available). And to celebrate, lets pop some discounts on all my games!

Yes, Within Skerry literally just came out. Funny thing is, during the development of Within Skerry I had a wild idea I wanted to bring to light (Is Simon There?), so I began to slowly develop that game at the same time as Within Skerry.

Is Simon There? will be a fairly small game (Small map in comparison to Within Skerry) running at approximately 40-45min. Is Simon There? will also have much fewer puzzles and interactions than Within Skerry. The main focus with Is Simon There? is atmosphere and engulfing the player into the experience that the game will offer. Of course, there still will be puzzles and interactions - just not as many as Within Skerry offers.

So what will Is Simon There? offer!??

- A checkpoint. Yes you heard that correct - I built a game with a checkpoint. Crazy, right? However, there is only 1 checkpoint at the midpoint of the game, for all you fine people interested in achieving multiple endings.

- 3 endings. First ending focusing on the simple story ending. And the second ending being a completely different ending for the game (could consider it a completely different game altogether :o ). I got some inspiration from some new creepy pastas I wanted to include in this game, so ending 2 is made up of that. And ending 3 will be a little charming Easter Egg :)

- A nice graphical boost in comparison to my previous titles.

- A simple horror experience with a large focus on engulfing the player into its atmosphere. Minimal random puzzles to solve and minimal random interactions. Simple story and atmosphere focus, incoming...



I suppose that's all I have to say, for now. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. After Is Simon There? I plan to take it easy for a bit and do some research on new ideas, mechanics, etc. I plan to incorporate some new mechanics, going forward, such as: Controller support, weapons, a more intricate inventory system, etc. Of course, we will see what happens as time goes on :)

Is Simon There? will release on May 06, 2022.

cheers, everybody. And happy gaming!

Hello friends,

I am very pleased to finally announce that Within Skerry is now officially available and playable on Steam.

I may be biased when I say this, but I believe that this may be my scariest project, to date. But who knows! I will let you all be the judge of that :)

As always, if you play the game, please leave a review highlighting your thoughts. Whether you enjoyed the game or disliked the game, all feedback is extremely valuable and heavily appreciated.

Thank you, everybody. and Happy Gaming!

Hello everybody, I hope everything is going well on your ends.

I wanted to let you all know that Within Skerry will be releasing on Steam on February 8th, 2022. The Steam page is now live, and all we need to do now is wait for release :)

I have yet to figure out how to end the game, but I am slowly brainstorming - trying to put together a "true ending" that does not feel abrupt and nicely summarizes the story of the game. Only 9 days left to figure it out and build it / test it. No pressure :)

Not to mention I have yet to put in an Easter Egg, too! I wanted to create a different type of Easter Egg for Within Skerry that is not as simple as the ones in Inside Depth 6 or Suite 776 - Guess I need to get on that, too.

Stay safe, everyone, and see you on release date!

cheers,

Stan. T
