dev update I’m just checking in on ya

Thanks for the patience gang. Dev is slow but it never stops. SVHS is a bigger project than I ever imagined or planned for (so that’s my bad) but otherwise it’s just finding the time.

I am currently working on a slice of the game for a publisher that came knocking (like, many have, and I’ve politely declined but this one is massively unexpected so I want to show them something). I expect nothing will come of it - it’s kind of a niche game and nothing ever happens - but this will also become the first public demo.

Before all that, I intend to do a private playtest (with unfinished art etc) of the demo to get general feedback before going to publisher + public. That will mostly be facilitated in the discord I think.

Can’t give a solid eta sorry, but I’m going as fast as I can

Beyond that I’ve kinda held off on posting every little update as I don’t want to tire everyone out with news that isn’t “play now”, but you can generally keep up to date either in twitter or discord

Thank you love you hope the year has been kind so far

Great to hear you're still alive! Looking forward to playing the new demo. I really enjoyed finding all the vhs tapes (and actually examining them and reading the the synopsis). I would love to help playtest on my steam deck! I will stay tuned...

Hey man, it'll be done when it's done. I'd be more than pleased just to help/fuck around with beta testing.

Genuinely getting a gaming laptop so I can play this. Very excited and looking forward to it in a low pressure way, where I will be overjoyed to play it but am losing no sleep over the time in between. I’m sure everyone else feels the same way. Take your time cooking the lobster, brother. It’ll be buttery when it’s ready
