Act 2 Updates! (FINALLY)
Heyyy everyone!
So sorry for the complete radio silence on my part. I'm working crazy hard on Venge and also trying to speedrun university at the same time. It's great fun, I do not recommend it.
Act 2 is about 10% done, I've been having sooo many issues with it and finally, I've got them all cleared out. It is looking GREAT so far, I really think you guys will like it. It is already my favorite act.
I've been working hard to make sure Lucy feels realistic and natural. Lucy isn't just some boring NPC, Act 2 is all about collaboration and cooperation. Lucy stays with you for like 90% of the act and ya'll help each other out. Imagine fighting massive spider-like bosses together. Yup, that's coming.
I'm expecting Act 2 to be about 2-3 hours long, so there will be plenty of fun and spooks coming your way!
Act 0 (2.0) is going very well! I've finished all of the music for it and I've been working on the act itself. It feels soo much more polished and refined. Plus, there is way more to the house you get to explore. You also will get to learn so much more about the player, Lucas. (Yes I've changed it from "Justin", long story)
Act 1 (2.0) is going well, I've learned a lot of stuff about optimization so I am now going through and remaking every single room and really polishing up the studio. Now it actually looks like you are exploring through an abandoned building. I've heard your feedback about Act 1 and there is a whole lot less walking and uneventful, repetitive actions. The inventory system has been completely redefined and will be used in puzzles and stuff, it is crazy how cool it is.
Act 1 (2.0) [flipped] is going well too. Believe it or not, after the pinter jumpscare you are transported to a different dimension. I'm making that way more obvious. The cartoonist boss fight will be completely changed because the old one is way too repetitive and most players I've talked to / watched gameplays of think it is too long, so I have a great new idea that'll come out in 2.0. The Helpsie area is seeing massive changes as well. Let's just say it'll be way more challenging and impressive.
All of the music is being replaced. It turns out I know how to make music now, so all of the music you'll hear in 2.0 and Act 2 (and onwards, even in my other games) will be 100% made by me. Isn't that great! That also means that it'll be available on your favorite streaming services. WOOT WOOT!
As for gameplay youtube people, this is great news because you no longer have to deal with pesky copyright claims. I am SO SORRY about all of that, I had no idea the music would be copyrighted until it was too late. Never again!
That's all great and all, but when can we expect a release?
Not sure, tbh. I'm a broke fulltime-college student so I'm not exactly working on Venge full-time, but I am giving it my all. I am HOPING that I'll be able to fully give a release date next year, if not release it next year.
The release rollout will be a few weeks long, Act 0 (2.0) and its soundtrack will come out, then Act 1 (2.0) and it's soundtrack will come out a bit later, then finally Act 2 (and its soundtrack) will drop! That month is gonna be crazyyy!
That's all for now, you guys are the BESTTT I love you all sooooo much thank you for all you've done and the amazing support you've given me! (We hit 45 reviews yesterday AHHH). I'm so excited for the future, lets DOO THISSS.
