By Far My Favorite!

October 7, 2025

I loved polishing this map the most because I like working with contrasts and this level really let me do that with all its narrow, dark corridors and grimy setting. It’s all done (had some issues with pathing and monster behaviors, but that was all fixed) and so now I’m moving onto the next step.

I should mention that I’ve made major overhauls to some gameplay mechanics and took some things out and added some other things in. I like watching Tim Cain’s (whom I actually met in person once, but he probably won’t remember me šŸ˜‰ ) video logs while I’m working on my stuff and he brought up some really eye-opening design advice that I took to heart.

This was something that was mentioned by the testers during the first beta, and now hearing it from someone like Tim Cain only reinforces what they were telling me. I’ll go into depth about what I took out and what I improved upon and why during the Developer Journal down the road. Just know that the things that I did change have made the game a much more fun and tighter experience.

I’d also like to announce that I’m working on the first official trailer at the moment and it’s look really nice so far! You can expect it fairly soon!

    I’d rather wait and see your vision take form than to not see anything at all. You made a really unique game with Out of Hell, and I hope to see more of it soon.

    Glad you’re still sailing man, congrats on the development milestone we know it ain’t easy doing this all by yourself.

    Cheers!

    This will be playing on my head when running through that section, just like in the original mod

      Reading this post made me feel a little sad, actually.I just want you, and everyone else still following this project with such Saint-like patience that I do read your comments and that I do appreciate the continued interest and the kind words.This project has taken so long, and life always seems to provide obstacles, but I never forgot what direction I wanted to move in and I’m still helming this ship to its destination like a madman.I really don’t know what else to do or say to show my gratitude, but thank you. šŸ™‚

        Take your time man. As someone who does audio engineering for myself and other bands as a side gig. “Real work” and life always gets in the way. lol. Its a pain in the ass just getting audio to sound great and “pro”. Cant even imagine making a game by yourself in your spare time. Looking forward to Out of Hell coming out. Loved the mod when I was kid.
