What’s Next for The Vanished Soul? December Update!

Hello everyone, It’s been a while since the last update, so I wanted to share some news about the state of development and what’s coming next. [b]First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who tried the demo! I’m thrilled that the demo has received 100% positive reviews![/b] This is incredibly motivating and inspires me to deliver the best game possible. The number of wishlists is also steadily growing and has already far surpassed my previous published game, which shows that the game is definitely heading in the right direction! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN! [h2]DEVELOPMENT NEWS:[/h2] Development is progressing really well! Certain parts of the game, like the menu and options, have been completely revamped to provide a higher-quality experience. The game’s story has been expanded, which will hopefully make it more interesting and engaging. A lot of new areas are being added to the game to align with the story—though I won’t spoil anything at this stage. I’m also thrilled to share that the first implementation of the [b]dynamic jump scare system[/b] is now in the game! I’m really excited about this feature! In addition to the revamped menu system, a few more options will be added to enhance the gameplay experience. I’m also working hard to optimize the game as much as possible. I’m planning to include [b]fully voiced dialogue in two languages: English and Bosnian[/b]. There are already some discussions underway, but let’s see how things develop on this front. Here are a couple of the latest images from the game: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45220003/1bd37a4e7d0b56be6e43a7f5f58b8693da25357b.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45220003/793aee162431541f89dcaaf25e6bcbea74f8d905.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45220003/3642fccdc2cb3602bdabce2143ea489c9fd1dd7e.jpg[/img] [h2]WHAT’S NEXT?[/h2] I am excited to announce that I am planning to participate in the [b]Steam Next Fest[/b], which will begin on the [b]24th of February[/b]. For this occasion, the current demo version will be revamped to provide a much better experience for everyone! The flow of the new demo will also be adjusted, primarily to ensure that players who have already played the old demo won’t have to go through all the same sections again. The gameplay time is expected to be longer than in the previous demo, offering a clearer picture of what the game is about and what you can expect in the full release. As for the full game, the release date is still planned for some point in [b]2025[/b], most likely in [b]Q4[/b]. More details on the Steam Next Fest and the new demo content will be shared next year. Once again, many thanks to everyone! I will ensure that announcements are made at least once a month so that everyone stays in the loop about what’s happening behind the scenes.
