Holy crap it's been far too long. Almost two whole years since I've release a game, with SNAFU being my last. Unfortunately with school and work taking over a significant portion of my life, development has slowed to a snail's pace.

With that being said, I am happy to announce that Night at the Office is nearing the final stages of development and is expected to release on December 13th 2024.

Steam page is up and I would love to hear your initial thoughts on the design, story or any questions you may have.

As always, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the support you've given me throughout these years. These games are always a pleasure to create and I hope to always push out a better product year over year.

Last time, I release Snafu which was a very different concept of a game, but this time, I've returned to the more traditional approach to tell the story of Night at the Office.

cheers, everyone.

It's finally that time again... Another TurnVex Horror Release!

Let me start off by saying this past month was an absolute nightmare - working a full-time job alongside completing Snafu with a very tight release schedule was absolutely wicked... But nonetheless, the job was done and I am quite happy with the results.

As I've already mentioned several times, Snafu is a very different type of horror game so I am very VERY curious to hear the opinions of you all when the game releases on Wednesday March 8th.

For whoever wants to know:

- Snafu has an estimated completion time of approximately 80-minutes. However, this could skyrocket to several hours depending on the level of detail you scower through!

-Snafu features full controller support (For the first time ever!! wow)

- And as always, 3 official endings with a horrible 0.5 bonus ending for those of you who really screw up...

I want to wish you all the best and I hope you give Snafu a chance alongside providing your opinion on the game - that would be greatly appreciated for future titles :)

cheers, everybody.

Hi all,

Just wanted to spread word that Snafu, my upcoming horror game is almost here!

Development is beginning to approach the final stages, and so far I can say that I am very happy with the direction of the game. It is a very different horror game, very unique, in my opinion.

After spending this whole long weekend working on and completing a castle of the game, I am a little more comfortable with the March 08 release date of the game.

Here is a little snippet of the inside during night time when its the spookiest...
There is not much else I have to say right now other than "get ready" for something entirely different!

cheers!

Apologies for the wait, I expected to have have this game's Store Page up in early January; however, work got a little busy, so I had to postpone it a bit. But that's besides the point!

I am happy to announce that my upcoming horror game (Snafu) store page is now active with a release date set to March 8th 2023.

First thing you will notice is that Snafu is a very different game from what I am used to making, very different indeed. However, an interesting game, nonetheless... It's important to try new things, once in a while. You will learn many new things :)

Check the page out and please provide your thoughts. I am interested to see what you all think of this upcoming release :)

Cheers, everybody.

Hello, everyone, and happy holidays!

I wanted to let you all know that I am still alive and slowly working away on a new horror game. However, this time, I am creating something completely new and unique. There is not too much that I want to talk about this game, yet, however, I have provided some screenshots below (Pre-Alpha).

Please take a look and let me know what you think. As of right now, this horror game will be very unique and different from anything that I have ever done before, so I am very excited to get some feedback, especially once I setup a Steam Page sometime early January 2023. Until then, here are several screenshots depicting super early game play.

Please note, this will be a horror game, so don't let the looks fool you into thinking otherwise :)

Cheers, and once again, have an excellent holiday.

Hello, everyone. I hope you are all doing well on your end.

Just like that, it's been over 2 months since the release of Is Simon There? And just like all my other games, I always like to give you all an update on how the game is doing, some feedback I was given, and what I plan on doing going forward.

So how is the game doing?
Well, let me start off by saying that Is Simon There? is doing fairly well. Many of you appear to really enjoy what the game has to offer - its simplicity and attention to creating a terrifying environment. Now, of course, the game may have been a little "too" simple, but none the less, I think it turned out well, and I am happy to see that many of you enjoy it, too.

And the Easter Egg! I am also happy to see that many of you liked the secret little egg in the game. It is definitely a goal of mine to include some sort of egg in every game, so I definitely wont be changing anything there :)

Overall, Is Simon There? is doing fairly well. It is maintaining a fair volume of sales, the reviews are spectacular, and the feedback I am given is also very wonderful. And to that, I want to thank you all for your continued support and sticking by my side when creating these projects. It truly means a lot to me.

What's the plan going forward?

I recently got a new job in accounting again so I will not have the time to pump out games like I was normally planning (3ish games per year) But I do think I will be able to pump out 1 game a year (as per normal). Time is definitely a tricky thing with work and potentially studying for the CFA... but I am sure I will be able to figure something out.

In terms of new projects, my next game (in the planning stages) will be like my previous game Money Maker (free on Steam). HOWEVER, it will be like Money Maker but with a crap-ton of horror in it. I don't want to say too much in terms of story or game play since it is still super early, but that is kinda what I am steering towards. I am sure 99% of you have no idea what Money Maker is, but I believe adding significant horror to that style of game will be wonderous!

As always, I want to thank you all for sticking around and taking the time to glance over this quick memo. I hope to begin working on my new game soon, and with that said, I hope to begin posting some screenshots in Q4 (one can only hope...).

Cheers, everyone and happy gaming.

I am very happy to announce that Is Simon There? is now available on Steam.
As always, all feedback is greatly appreciated. If you play the game, please provide a review with your honest feedback. All feedback is used in the production of upcoming games.

And finally, as I said before, I will be taking some time off to research some new game mechanics / systems. I am hoping to begin creating some new content going forward.

Thank you very much, everybody. I genuinely hope you enjoy Is Simon There?!

Have a fantastic weekend.

Hello, everybody. I hope you are all doing very well.

I wanted to let you all know that my latest horror Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow at 10am PST / 11am Mountain time.

Is Simon There? will be slightly different from some of my more recent releases (i.e. Within Skerry and Inside Depth 6) in that it will focus primarily on creating an atmosphere for the player to dive into.

Is Simon There? will have fewer required puzzles (excluding optional puzzles) and fewer "aimless, eventless wandering". My goal is to tell a story while keeping you on the edge of your seat, while anticipating the next event to happen.

Of course, like my previous games, Is Simon There? will include 3 endings and 1 Easter Egg/ special ending. I've toned the difficulty of these optional puzzles down a little so that the vast majority of players can experience all the game has to offer without relying on too many guides.

AND finally, no more getting knocked-out black screens. Nothing but silky smooth progression, a dark story, a neat little Easter Egg, and a hand full of intuitive puzzles to keep you thinking, throughout the 40 minute long journey.

Once again, Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow (May 06, 2022). And as always, if you play the game, please leave an honest review. I would love to know what you enjoyed and disliked about the game.

Once Is Simon There? has been published, I will be spending some time researching new mechanics / systems to implement into new games (i.e. controller support, advanced AI, potential VR, etc)

Cheers, everybody!

Hello, everyone.

It's crazy how it's already been over a week. Time flys...

I just wanted to let you all know that development is going very well. Both endings 1 and 2 have been fully completed. The last thing I am working on is Ending 3! Once Ending 3 has been completed, it will be time to do some aggressive testing.

Once again, I am well on schedule for the May 6th release date. I hope to have Is Simon There? 100% complete by May 2nd so that I can spend the next few days testing.

A few outstanding items that need to be completed:
- Achievements,
- Ending 3,
- Final optional puzzles,
- Final environmental / indoor asset placements,
- Final translations,
- Testing,
- Bug fixes.

We are almost there, everybody! And I am greatly looking forward to seeing your reactions on this one :)

Cheers,

Stan. T
