Hi everyone,
After 5 months of development, I'm proud to announce the newly improved Freakbalang! A lot has changed since the game jam version, from a very barebones walking-sim, to a fully playable experience set in a place like no other. So without any delay, I'll jump right in and enumerate every change and addition below:

What changed?

• Visual Improvement: New fog and lighting setup, making it more dark and semi-realistic.
• Camera will now avoid solid walls/objects to prevent clipping.
• LODs to improve performance.
• Double-sided illumination to foliage materials.
• Rearranged/adjusted objects in the scene. Example, increased the height of trees.
• Smoother character animation swapping. Especially when changing character movement direction.
• Improved the overall story direction.

What's new?

• Added Menus, with a special unlockable gallery screen.
  
• New areas or levels with distinct visuals.
• Two (2) unlockable endings.
• In-game cutscenes, that can be skipped at the pause menu.
• Player interactables such as characters, event triggers and points of interest.
• Simple dialogue sequences, that can also be skipped.
• Added characters that weren't in the jam version.
• Some unique and easy puzzles to hamper player progress.
• Visual effects like light rain drops, footprints, etc.
• Added new 3D assets like frogs and rock formations for further world building.
• Essential game options to adjust for your personal preference.
• Any Gamepad/Controller is supported.
• Best time with Rank when you complete the story.
• Volumetric fog for more atmosphere and mystery.
• New character animations for interactions and cutscenes.
• New original soundtracks, sound effects, and stingers.
• A MacOS version.
• New game icon.

I believe that's the simplified version of it, so far this has been the longest game I've worked on. This time I focused more on narrative than gameplay and applied things I've learned so far in making a horror game. I hope you guys try the game and most importantly enjoy. 😄
