The release date and other news!

Release Date

I finally have a release date for you!! If you solved the puzzle from last week, you’ll know that Alex Hill: Whispers at White Oak Inn is coming March 7th!!

I’m so excited to share this game with everyone! Look for it on Steam and itch.io!

(The below update has been redacted and is addressed in a new post)

I have an update concerning the graphics of the characters in my game. During playtesting there were some issues with the character models and animations being too heavy for some computers—I knew this could potentially be a problem, but I wanted to see how it went before putting in the work to change things. I’ve spent the last few weeks figuring out a new system that uses videos so that the game would be less bogged down on slower computers. This isn’t a guarantee that it will work on all computers, but it should work much better now.

With that change came some changes to the way the characters look. I had to use lower quality models in the previous system that I didn’t have to use with the videos, so the characters will look updated from the trailer you saw and from the previews I have on the website. (I’ll be updating those with the new graphics soon)

The first image is the old image of Henry. The second is how he will look in the final game. So, if anyone wonders why the characters look different, that’s why!

I know there will be some who do not like the change—I’m sorry! I understand it will be an adjustment, but the system change was necessary and the models now look how I originally intended them to. Thank you for your patience as I continue to learn new things!
