TL; DR: Here’s an updated page for my next game. Here’s my discord. Come to hang out and see the process of making this game. There might be a public beta test soon.
Hello everybody!
It’s been a while! Hope you still remember me. I am that guy who made the Loading Screen thingy.
A couple of years ago I announced Seven: Reboot and was expecting to finish it in under a year. But as it turns out making games is hard! I’ve spent the past 2 years making this game and adding something new almost every day. What was expected to be a quick and easy game turned into the most interesting project I’ve ever worked on.
And it is not done. Not even close!
But now I can show you this!
It is the first public gameplay for the game. It is not a final trailer, just a little teaser for you.
Here's an updated game page
https://store.steampowered.com/app/654200/Seven_Reboot/
That is all I can show for now but if you want more, you can join the Seven: Reboot discord server and follow the development of the game. There I post weekly free form game-dev logs. We often discuss the changes and design choices. We are a small community but everybody is welcome to join!
Soon (or not) there will be a short public beta test of the game.
It will be announced in this discord server. If you want to try the game at its current state then join to be informed. No need to solve ARG puzzles anymore, Hehe! Everybody can play!
The previous private test went fine.
People who have managed to solve the puzzles joined the server and played through the game together. Most of them said that the game is good and gave a lot of useful feedback.
Here are some quotes from the testers:
LongingRhombus9: "It is a puzzle game that requires quite the bit of thinking in which almost everything there is, is relevant to the solutions in one way or another, and the satisfaction of completing is so good. Hehe."
SidSef: “It's a puzzle game where you don't require any cryptography skills to play or enjoy. I like that it contains a vast amount of secrets and always feels like there is more to be unlocked as even after the credits of the game I was still hooked and interested wanting to go back and play more. I'm sure there is stuff I haven't even found yet!”
Rito141: “I would describe it as a simple, yet complicated at the same time, really enjoyable puzzle game, which has a nice atmosphere. And I’d suggest it to pretty much anyone who likes a good challenge”
The game is slowly taking shape
and it was such an adventure making it. I am learning skills I didn’t ever know existed! When it will be done, it is going to be something nobody has ever played before.
I can’t give an estimated release date.
"I don't want to rush this, I want to make it the best it can be. It may take 1 or 2 or 3 or god knows how many years until I am satisfied with what I’ve made. So, don’t expect it to be out soon. join the discord, and let’s make this game together!
AND ADD THE GAME TO YOUR WISHLIST RIGHT NOW!
Let it sit there for a couple of years :)
