- Star Of The Show - Crashing Fixes Attempt #2 - Teaser - 29 July 2022
A few reviews and people are still having crashing issues, the last update for crashing fixes did help several, yet for some it did have issues. Here is an update that should help some crashes. I had SEVERAL issues regarding start ups. So I had to change a few scripts. Here's what I did. - Fixed the loading start up scene. No longer will there be a button to continue after an audio warning. After 10 seconds, the menu scene will load from the audio warning. If things are still crashing, I may have to remove this scene and rework the menu. - Changed several exporting options to the game. This should help with some optimization as well. - Changed some of the UI in the main menu. - Added the new Camera Man character to the menu next to The Tall Man. - In the No Key Mode, added a few models to match the original mode. Hopefully this fixes some, I genuinely am trying to get this fixed and man…
- STAR OF THE SHOW 2.0 | Teaser and some updates regarding it! - 20 July 2022
Heyo, after a small week of getting a break in, I've been getting some stuff done. This update for Star Of The Show is going to be a large new game basically, just a new mode with a work in progress story. Easier to follow and more interactive game play. This update will also have achievements! You have a new enemy to work with, newer ways to avoid getting caught and put into the show yourself, new animations with facial animations as well, I even have a small little teaser for it. Just to let you know one more time, this update is LARGE, and will take some time. I'm a single developer doing everything! D: Welcome to the new show, I'll be looking for some voice-actors for this new character, if anyone is interested. You may contact me here, or send an email with anything to show. [email protected] or shoot a message via Discord here. That voice will be put with the fellow next…
- Star Of The Show - Crashing Fixes - Graphical Update - 7 July 2022
Simple enough, we've had some issues on crashes. Hopefully, that's gone now! I've heard some people going through crashes, and I released small updates thinking it'd be a fix! And hopefully, this is a complete fix for constant crashes when loading the game up. What was the issue? Simple. I left something unchecked on the final builds on the game. Huff, other than that. Other changes were made from this update. It was a small one. Pretty small. But here are some more announcements. - Fixed crashing issues when loading the game up. - Updated the graphical volume of the game. This is just the tint of the game, basically. - Adjusted some audio ques. Just the basic outside stuff. I've been working on STAR OF THE SHOW 2.0 for the last few days! Here's what I got so far. This is going to have new enemies, new mechanics, blah blah. Think of it as a new game, just added to this game! You're gonn…
- Star Of The Show 2.0 Announcement / Bug-Fix Update #11 - 30 June 2022
Hello, things have been quiet for a minute, I let the game be what it was for now, and I see some crashing issues, and *hopefully* they have been fixed. I'll be sharing some news as well, here! - Fixed an issue where the collision on the living room chairs didn't have any collision. - Potentially fixed a freezing issue when opening the evidence page. - Adjusted some textures to be less blurry. - Adjusted the police siren audio from being too loud. (Again.) - Potentially fixed an issue with the UI cutting off from the screen due to unsupported resolutions. Other than the changes above, I will hope to have content being started on for this game. Meaning new content, or even a rework of the house completely. I'd like to change the enemy and hiding system. Add new psychics and add more to the story to make it less hidden. As well, another enemy who is very expressive. Basically, to sum thin…
- Star Of The Show - Free Release For The Public - 25 June 2022
Hey there, been a minute. This game has been a thrill to work on, with other projects going into hand, I decided to make this one free as well as my previous project, Bashed.OS. I felt these projects should've been free in the first place, it would've been a better start of handling that either way. I'm really happy to have this out for everyone now! Hopefully, things get adjusted in the future. For now, I'm happy to release to you all for the price of nothing. I have been working on something else, you can find some teasers laying around. Thank you so much!

Hello there, Mr. Detective. We got some information for you. - Fixed a bug where the associate enemy would spawn but not attack. - Fixed an issue where after associate spawns, you wouldn't be able to move your mouse or do anything in regards to this.

Here we go with another fix and changes, Mr Detective! - Changed the main sensitivity to "5". This can be changed in the settings on the PC. - Removed the Mail-Man for now.

This actually works now and won't bug. - Adjusted the audio for the laughs of "kuru." - Fixed a few audio bugs for a certain site. - Fixed a few key placements.

- New Content / Bug-Fix Update #6 - 5 December 2021
Welcome back to another little bug-fix/changes section. Nothing too large, but also helpful. - Changed an issue when exiting the room and enemy spawns instantly. It's possible it could happen, but it lowers the chance of it happening. - ACTUALLY Fixed an issue where the enemy would spawn outside the window and would open the window at the wrong time for it to match the animation. - Updated the enemy attacks a little differently. - Adjusted the audio attack for when the player has "kuru" disease. This happens when you eat the burger on the table after visiting the cannibal site. - Added an extra model to the house. - Adjusted the enemy sound spawn time. I've also gone through a little testing and tried to see if some issues were a thing in the new mode, double tested. From last and now, as there are no issues with either side now. Things will spawn and I'm happy to say that it is going w…
- Ideas for the game? Post your suggestions! - 3 December 2021
As the title mentions, I'm happy to improve the game with updates constantly, any suggestions are great! I've been looking around on the project, and I'm trying to keep it manageable. Though, with a little help from the community, I've made a few updates in less than a week. Five updates so far this week! Fixes and changes, even content. Though, I'd be happy to take suggestions and content ideas. It's really nice, and if anything is given and I enjoy the idea, I'd be SUPER happy to actually put it in the game. There is a lot of content in-game already, though... I'd be willing to add more. I'd be really happy to take suggestions as the game can be really frustrating looking for just a key to progress. That's why I made a new game mode to where that takes that mechanic out of just looking for a clickable. This was done in a day! It's sure a small community, but it was a really good relea…
- New Content / Bug-Fix Update #5 - 1 December 2021

It can spawn behind s…

- It has been quiet, how about some updates for the next show? - 27 October 2021
Oh man, it's been quiet since we had our shows, we've been preparing for a new contestant is all! How about a taste of some updates coming up. Seriously, thanks for the support on the project! I've been pretty active on the project and being a solo developer on this project, time goes pretty far when you're on it all at once. Anyways.. Some sad news for a start, originally the game was supposed to release on exactly October 29th. Sadly, I don't have the game completely finished just yet. But to add some good news, the game will be released sometime in November! Next month exactly! That's a promise coming from me. I'm hoping to have it out before November 15th, I'm this close to finishing it completely. Originally, it was supposed to release but I wasn't completely happy with it. So, adding a lot of new content to the game and an extra enemy to look out for was added. And I'm doing some…
- STAR OF THE SHOW - Discord - Information - 20 May 2021
DISCORD Here you go, I'll be posting updates and teaser images. Sometimes some videos and secret things! This game is a big project and I'm hoping to release it sooner than later. I'm doing a big test and for now, I'll be here posting some updates for you wonderful people. This is a home-invasion psychological horror game, the story is a big part of the game and that's what I'm aiming for specifically. Thankfully, it's going great. The game has changed a lot during development and used to be something else. Now, it has a lot implemented into it. I'm hoping people have interested the same way I do as well! Lots of easter eggs and lots of secrets dig into the story. The game has randomized aspects too, so it isn't gonna be the same thing over and over. Just wanted to say a few things is all, but for now... We're getting ready for the show. We'll see you soon.
