• TV189 is on sale! - 19 March 2024

  Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing well! I'll just post a quick, short announcement that the game will be discounted by 85% for a while! I wanted to make it free (forever!) for a couple of weeks, but unfortunately looks like that won't be possible. I'd say it's worth playing (of course). It's a short game and can be played quite easily over a day or a weekend, and gives off some strong indie FPS vibes! If you like the old CoD campaigns, or some older FPS games you might enjoy some of the nostalgia in TV189. TV189 is a short action game set in a dystopian near-future. Created by a passionate solo indie game developer, TV189 features 9 carefully curated levels designed to help the player master the art of intuition as their skills are put to the test with close-quarters combat as well as puzzle based gameplay. I believe the player should be in the centre of the experience by including a…

• TV189 November Sale! - 22 November 2022

  Hello, Hope everybody is doing okay. I just wanted to post a small announcement to say that I am putting TV189 on sale if you want to purchase it. I am a solo-developer and you will be directly supporting me, each purchase means a lot to me! TV189 has been put on sale from £4.79 to £1.67. Save yourself 65% and buy it while it's cheap! If you buy, please leave a review as it helps me improve the game!

• TV189: Now out of Early Access - 8 August 2022

  Now Out of Early Access! Description TV189 is a short action game set in a dystopian near-future. Created by a passionate solo indie game developer, TV189 features 9 carefully curated levels designed to help the player master the art of intuition as their skills are put to the test with close-quarters combat as well as puzzle based gameplay. I believe the player should be in the centre of the experience by including a skill tree: giving you the choice between strength and ammunition abilities. The game features a thoroughly written story expressed through a mix of voice acted cutscenes, in-game notes & documents in an expansive, constantly evolving plot. From waking up in a morgue at an underground facility to going on recovery/assassination missions, TV189 utilizes a range of gameplay types oriented around a variety-driven user experience. Exploration into the map is rewarded with much…

• April Development Update - 21 April 2020

  First off, I think we, as well as everyone are praying for mankind. My deepest condolences to everyone who is suffering from, or knows someone who is suffering from the COVID-19 Pandemic. I think we, as a race will push through this, it's dark days, but there will be an end to it. I live in the United Kingdom, I am following government advice and self isolating, but I will not let it stop me from working on the game. Development will go on as usual. (I never did real life meetings anyways) More bad news coming up! My hard drive corrupted and I lost all my files, I'm recovering scattered backups from across the internet to salvage the project, and I have around 60-70% recovered but this will impede development, but I haven't stopped this failure on my part stop my motivation to keep going. If you have any questions about development, make a new post in the community hub, or direct messag…

• Development Update, October 2019 - 19 October 2019

  So its the 19th October. Mid-day. TV189 Development Progression has admittedly slowed, due to the return of school. I will personally admit that it is annoying that it does take 10 hours to create 10 minutes of game-play, but it won't stop me from doing it. I enjoy creating this, It has been the largest project of my life so far, I have invested over a year into it now. There has been up's and down's, and it is nowhere near the end of the development cycle, but it as an existence has travelled so far along the plain of development cycle, not only growing as a game, but also growing me as a person. I can say full well, that as a 16 year old my brain is nowhere near finished growing so I am bound to make some stupid errors, the problem with the original release, that it was all self-tested, but now I can full-well say that there has been testing done, and unlike other development studios,…

• Zombies Mode! - 28 August 2019

  Good evening gamers, So the core scripting for the zombies mini-game is complete. After only about 20 hours of pick-and-mixing scripts we have a stable system for economy in the minigame. Next step is level design, I aim to release atleast 2 maps in the fall update, but cannot promise anything since I wouldnt like to compromise on quality for these maps. After that it is onto polishing up the HUD, menu's incorporating it into the launcher and final compiling, before we move onto testing. But progression is going good and I believe this is a large improvement on the previous version. Kind Regards, Trollbae

• Progress Update - 19 August 2019

  Hello Everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I've been working hard on the game, We are including some extremely detailed levels, and I gotta say, It is really coming along. I am extremely happy with what we have so far. We are working on cutscenes, rather than the ( Quite frankly terrible ) radio messages that are included currently, We are upgrading all of the weapons to more enhanced weapons. We are outsourcing our scripting which allows us to include a wider range of mechanics. But I've got to say, As my hours developing Games goes up, I am getting better with every click, and this being my first large project, I think its going well. We have sold nearly 300 copies, which is to me, quite staggering. Just the thought that people actually sit at home playing something I made, and I don't want to be like those developers who just make something and abandon it. Woody is go…

• Progress Update. - 6 August 2019

  Well I have been very busy, taking full advantage of my time off from school. I went to the Dominican Republic for Two Weeks which was fun, but anyways your probably here to find information about the game, and good news, here are some things we have completed. Pickup Objects This allows us to implement the following - Moveable cover - Moveable objects - Moveable explosives This also allows for more complex gameplay mechanics which we are striving to add to make the game more diverse. Game Launcher We are adding in the launcher currently, before we develop the minigames, this should let us have a centralised hub for everything to be in, like links to our discord, twitter and youtube. This was one of our main targets when we set out to do this update and it is great. Meet Woody! Woody is a new employee here at TrollbaeStudios, his main job is to help with modelling and level design to sp…

• First Person to Third Person Transition - 23 May 2019

  For the mega update, I am changing the game from its current first person perspective to third person in order to be like more horror games of its type. If you don't know ( First Person is a POV, from the eyes of the character, whereas third person is from a separate camera following the character ). I do believe this is a change for the better although the old TV189 will be included in this new update as a side play. Thank you for reading.

• TV189 Mega Update Trailer : - 17 April 2019

  Thank you everybody for the support. It honestly means so much to me, you people motivate me to be the best man I can be and I am truly, from the bottom of my heart grateful for you, and I wanted to give back. As some of you may know TV189 is going to receive a "Mega-Update" later this year, so after much discussion and analysis we have finally come to a solid plan. We are planning to completely re-engineer the game, focusing even more on its already strong point of storyline. We want this game to be an emotional rollercoaster, filled wih psychological doubt and a motive. But we cant give too much away at the moment. We also plan to include the old game in our new launcher, which allows much more freedom in what we are planning to do. Much more ease of use than the traditional menu. We also plan to add 3 Minigames : Zombie Casino Prison Break Open World Chaos These 3 are not currently o…

• 3 Months Since Release. Thank You! - 21 March 2019

  Wow . . . You guys have been very supportive and seeing my own game being played on YouTube is absolutely amazing, I cannot thank you guys enough, it means the absolute world to me. I love each and every one of you and I hope there is nothing more motivating to a developer than seeing their community enjoying their game. I am currently studying for finals, but after that I get a 3-month period where I am going to grind on improving this game on the next update. Whats Next? - Big Update! Thanks to your guy's feedback I have now started working on the following features and fixes : :themark: Reworking the gun-play system with cover and better AI :themark: Reworking the maps to be more linear :themark: Enhancing and enriching the story line :themark: Graphical and Audio Overhaul :themark: Re-engineering levels to improve performance. If I am happy with the game after this update I will be…

• We Listened! - 18 December 2018

  Thanks to feedback from the community, I have created a steam guide showing the location of the keys for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of TV189. I chose to do this as an optional last resort for people who are struggling to find them. I advise you do not use them and try to find them yourself first, using hints given in the radio messages. Secondly id like to wish everyone who has purchased/been involved in TV189 a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

• Release Day - 30 November 2018
