- The Maze Project Update 0.3.2 - 2 March 2025
This update includes quality of life changes that should make the game progression better. Tasks There are now tasks on the right side of the screen. Tasks are added automatically based on the game progression that the player has done. These tasks are meant to guide and help the player with the game progression. They can be toggled on or off, based on the player's preference. New Maze Creation Options The save creation screen has been revamped. It now includes two sections: Basic and Advanced. The basic section contains basic things such as name, seed, and whether cheats are on or off. The advanced section now includes two new options. The first one is the maze generation algorithm. This allows the player to pick a way by which the maze is generated. There are 5 maze generation algorithms: recursive tree, pure recursive, random tree, oldest tree, and recursive division. The recursive tr…

- The Maze Project Update 0.3 - 12 February 2025
The Maze Project Update 0.3 is here. It took a little bit longer than initially expected, mainly for rewriting many systems to be compatible with loading and unloading multiple mazes. This update rewrites many of the game's core systems. A Brand New Maze A brand new maze awaits for you! New puzzles, new manifestation and new items. Enter its captivating, foggy atmosphere and survive alone or with friends. The new manifestation featured in this maze has a better AI, allowing it to have different behaviors. There are also day and night cycles in the second maze. During the night, the visibility gets lower and the manifestation awakens, but beware, once it awakens, it doesn't rest until it gets you, even when it's day! Some parts of the first maze has also gone through a little bit of a redesign. Upgraded AI Some of the AI logic has been upgraded to utilize the GOAP approach. GOAP is a sop…
- The Maze Project Demo is Now Officially Available - 8 October 2024
A demo version, finally! I'm happy to announce a brand new demo version of The Maze Project. This demo version is now available for free to everyone. Invite your friends or family to share some scary experiences and test your logical thinking in some of the challenges that the maze lays down on you. This project has come a long way from its early beginnings from before two years to now, and now I want to share that progress with you so you can try out the game and get a feeling for yourself of how the game is in its current state. What about other platforms? The first, and the only one for now, is Windows. There will be support for the macOS and Linux operating systems sometime later. The game needs to be further tested when it comes to these systems, so it can be fully optimized and run smoothly. How long will the demo last? There are no plans as of now to end the demo. Even though the…

Hey there! The 0.2.1 update is out! This update includes a few major bug fixes as well as something new. New Item Anxiety pills is a new item that can be found in the maze. It has the ability to remove all of your negative effects, but be aware that it has a 15% chance to not remove a negative effect.

They now can escape from their room and be able to roam around the maze. But they are very shy, they'll hide as soon as you see them. Expansion Pouch Visual When equipping an expansion pouch, there is now a visual that will be displayed for you and other players, hinting at the fact that you're wearing an expansion pouch.

- The Maze Project 0.1.5 Hotfix - 3 April 2024
Fixed a bug where the detection logic for the mannequin manifestation was not working properly.
- The Maze Project Update 0.1.5 - 1 April 2024
The Maze Project Update 0.1.5 is here! The focus with this update is mainly on major bug fixes and certain improvements. Major Bug Fixes There have been some major bug fixes regarding the multiplayer. The most notable one was that only the host (the person who created the game) was able to see items, while the other players were not able to see them. Also, when hovering over an item that has been dropped by other players, the item preview would sometimes bug out and not work properly for a while. There were also some synchronization problems that caused the Radio Wall to be visible only to the host. Improvements The Maze One of the major issues was that the maze was too big and thus resulting into the players wandering in the maze for long periods of the time without actually finding anything. Aiming to fix this issue, the size of the maze has been reduced by 25%. This may result in spa…
- The Maze Project Update 0.1.4 - 14 March 2024
The Maze Project Update 0.1.4 is here! This update includes a new intro, items, and changes to the UI. Game Intro In the previous versions, when launching, the game would simply put the player in the main menu without any form of introduction. Now, the game displays an epilepsy warning and then a transition plays that takes the player from the black screen into the main menu. New Items Three new items have been added to the game. Rubber Duckie, Evil Duckie, and Vial of Mystery. Rubber Duckie is an item that can alert manifestations when used nearby. Evil Duckie - the more dangerous version of this item - can alert manifestations no matter what the distance is. The Vial of Mystery is an item that can be either drunk or combined with other items. In this case, the Vial of Mystery can be combined with the Rubber Duckie to craft the Evil Duckie. UI Changes and Improvements In the previous u…
