I Know This Place..? News

AAA!
We are starting development on CHAPTER 2 "I Know This Place..?" !

We are in the process of searching for funding and partners and they will be found. We are sure that we will find partners because... there is progress. But for now we decided that with such a cool team of specialists we could make Chapter 2 without funds.

We realized that many investors want to see progress and development. However, we will not be able to make chapter two large without investment, so initially we plan to make it also small, but even more unusual.
Perhaps we will switch to UE5, and also improve interaction with objects.

We will select your best notes from the form that each of you filled out at the end of the game. You can still fill it out.

Support us. Believe in us. We are already doing this!

Our public, join to see more news and discuss competitions.

Our Boosty will allow you to participate in the development and learn more interesting things about the project.

Be sure to leave a review for Chapter 1 on Steam! This is very important to us!

Hooray! Finally we released our short film. Filmed by our own team, with whom we developed “I Know This Place..?”. Film will tell you more about Vladimir Mashkov, yes, yes, the same one to whose apartment we come in Chapter 1.
The film will show the events that happened before Chapter 1. Essentially, this is Chapter 0, the prequel.
Now the film is available to you from the main menu of the game (a separate “Watch prequel” button will take you to Youtube).
There in the description you will find a link to the 4k full version if you want to enjoy full quality.

The film is only available to players who purchased the chapter on Steam. Later the film will be available to everyone.
Leave your comments under the film on Youtube. This is important to us!
Chapter 2 is ahead and we are open to partners and investors!

It's nice that "I Know This Place..?" reviewed and invited to participate at major DevGamm games exhibitions in Lisbon, as well as at the WN Conference in Tel Aviv and the games exhibition in San Francisco. Alas, we are unlikely to be able to get to them, and we hope that we will be able to show the project online or that one of our game dev colleagues will go there (by the way, write to us if you are going there).
In any case, this is another step in the development of the project.


News: prequel short film "I Know This Place..?" it's almost ready. All sound is ready. All that's left are the credits and intro.
It will be available in the main menu of the game for everyone who purchased the chapter. And later it will be available to everyone and on Youtube itself. I think everything will be ready this week.
In the meantime, subscribe to us to find out news about Chapter 2 and also participate in our competitions and get into the game: https://t.me/IKnowthisplace

A short film based on our game was shot to expand the story of the project. Well, how else - everything in our game is confused. The short film will show the events that happened BEFORE the pilot episode and will clarify the picture a little. Although on the other hand there will be more questions. We shot it without a budget, but we hope you like this format and we’ll shoot more.
A still from the filming of the final scenes. Here you can see one of the heroes of the game - Vladimir, although before the events of the pilot chapter. That is, younger. And also his garage laboratory.

But here are real photographs of the last century (my grandfather is in them), which we digitized and added to the game.


I also had to buy half a kilogram of toffees (iris "golden key"), they also appeared in the short film.


Well, of course, we printed some photos from our subscribers and they will quickly appear in the background in one of the scenes.

Ahead are editing, VFX (visual effects are needed in many places), sound (there is a lot of sound, so everything was filmed without sound). Taking into account that we do everything ourselves, the budget turned out to be less than $100, which was spent on purchasing props, renting a car, gasoline, travel and food for filming days).
Once the film is finished editing and released, we will work on the script for Chapter 2.
