- What is happening? - 22 February 2024
So, its been a minute, first off, HAPPY 2024! Now, obviously there is a whale in the room here, what happened? Well, its a mix of burnout, and life. Burnout is deadly, and i know it too well. Last time i worked on this game was early December. Not only this, but a lot is happening in my life right now, that's more important than re-making this game is! Such as, my graduation which is this year, applying to post-secondary, and getting a job. Many things have taken my time, but mostly burnout effected me. There is plans to resume this game, but please remember i'm just a single dev. Im also working on a much more popular game called SCP:Facility, which you can also find on steam. This game has much more popularity and i've been working on it with a developer team. My time is very small, and i want to leave time for family and friends. For now, and until i have more time and motivation, I…
- October Progress Report - 31 October 2023
This is a report on the progress made in October, and although not much I have great reason to why. So, first off, let me show off this new map. There are features for each room in the top right that I don't feel are good enough to show you yet, but I'm sure next month ill have it ready. MANY more gameplay aspects are planned, including the ability to.... MOVE. This game is gonna get a LOT harder let me say that now. Below are some block-outs of this new map, this is the final block-out. So why has there not been any more progress?! Well its because I'm doing business with a man who goes online as AshDubh. Some of you may know him from stampylongnose, or iballisticsquid. Point is I've been busy with that and working with him on his upcoming Minecraft SMP, in which I am hosting. Along with future servers he plans to have. Its also good to let you all know in November & December don't exp…
- 2.6.1 | New Graphics GUI + NEWS - 23 September 2023
The update for 2.6.1 has been released. Graphics options can now be separately changed in the main menu. Why Did this Take So Long? Let me explain why this took so long, Saving. Thats why. The game has something internally called Saveables. I created Saveables. Basically they are an easy way to write data to the save file. Unfortunately for me I dont know how it works anymore, and i have no clue what does what Because my genius thought it would be fun to not describe anything within the Core. Which is where Saveables are programmed. The core is a 4000+ line script that is essentially the core of the game. I forgot how many things in the game work due to rushed variable names and no comments.\ So saving no longer works. I destroyed it (it may still somewhat work sometimes) Most of you who have played this game before will now see a "Saving Failures" button in the main menu. This button w…

- Where I've Been - 1 September 2023
Short story, I've been out enjoying my life and making music. However now that summer has practically ended, I think it's time I schedule an update. September 12th will overhaul graphics options, and is when we will vote in new game mechanics. I know, it's VERY irresponsible of me to just leave without notice for such a long time, and I'm sorry. I plan to have a good working schedule for prioritys soon. Again, sorry. Hope you all have a beautiful morning!

- New Roadmap & Timeline - 16 July 2023
Hey everyone! Small announcement, but id thought id share. I have created a roadmap in which you can view below for the game. Roadmap Here This shows future planned updates for the game, and all other past updates that have been released. VPB is an abbreviation for Version Beta (Pre) Meaning Pre Beta Version.
- V2.5.1 - 15 July 2023
Small patches. Fixed slow game movement & camera speed, and other speeds. Fixed credits scene randomly not loading. This was caused from new updates to the config file. Next update I'm overhauling the graphics options so they are fully customizable!
- Build Error Found. - 15 July 2023
The reason we had build failures was because my server drive we use to store our builds on (Exodius@GammaDrive) Has failed. The server is fine. Our other 4 8tb HDDs are also fine. However it seems that our Gamma drive, which is based upon an SSD, has completely died. Last night when I was trying to build the game, I noticed that it didn't completely fail the build. Instead it only built about 80% of the required files. Then today, I try and use software stored on the Gamma drive, and the software doesn't launch. Next thing you know I look at the drive and almost every single file is empty, which they should NOT be. I hard reset the server, once its back online, Gamma is completely dead. The drive was slowly and exponentially killing itself, I should've noticed the second the build generated only 80% of the files, if there was a fatal build error, it wouldn't have generated any files at…

V2.5.0 Updates brought to you by Binary. AKA Aiden. Spent all of today on this so hope it betters the smogs expereince! MAJOR BUG FIXES: Fixed Windows 11 crashes, or so I hope. still waiting for QA to test, but its fixed it for me. Let me know if you still have crashes on Windows 11!

I am working on a new patch tomorrow that will hopefully cover this just found bug and some others.

- New Game Trailer! - 18 June 2023
Hey all! Spent the time last night making this little trailer for the early access release! Enjoy!
- July 8th - OFFICIAL EARLY ACCESS RELEASE - 18 June 2023
Hey fellas! It's Aiden, from Togi Studios. Over the past couple of months I've left people waiting, and for too long. Let me elaborate. I am the sole person working on this project currently, as the others don't have the resources to. So for all this time, since about April, I've been doing everything for this game solo. We have had some "internal" arguments and we no longer have Benjamin on the team (he will still be credited), so its been max, whos been making the graphics, and me, doing everything else. So that's why it's taken so long. I also got burnt out for about 2 months, but when I checked the wish lists I realized I cant let you all down, not all 800 wish-listers. So over the past couple of days I have been testing, debugging, and adding to the game. So here's the release expectations: 1. Early Access 2. Only ONE night (until later releases) 3. Possible minor/some major bugs 4…
