addedFirst thing, HUGE THANKS FOR 2,000 WISHLISTS!Many may think that it's not a lot, especially compared to AA/AAA studios, where those wishlist numbers are simply incomparable. For us 2000 is a lot and we did it pretty much without any marketing on our end. We achieved this through hard work and by occasionally participating in events. This is a huge step for us and of course a big motivator. So thank you, to the single one of you who added The Flat to the wishlist and follow us on our journey.

First thing, HUGE THANKS FOR 2,000 WISHLISTS!

Many may think that it's not a lot, especially compared to AA/AAA studios, where those wishlist numbers are simply incomparable. For us 2000 is a lot and we did it pretty much without any marketing on our end. We achieved this through hard work and by occasionally participating in events. This is a huge step for us and of course a big motivator. So thank you, to the single one of you who added The Flat to the wishlist and follow us on our journey.

Now, with that addressed, let’s move on to what was done on the project.

Battery / Quest / Placement

You might’ve already seen it on our Discord channel (this isn’t exactly shining new), but as we mentioned in the last updates, we skipped one month and now we are backtracking a bit.

It looks like simple mechanics in a GIF, and it is pretty simple - pick it up, plug it in and something is on 😀 but there will go a lot more into finding the battery, carrying it back to a correct place and then knowing us, we will probably make it a little bit harder to enable whatever it enables. Maybe some puzzle?

New “character” for the journey

I guess you can check the WIP model for now. Maybe you can figure out the differences between this guy and other Enons. I mean, it is quite visible right from the first look, but maybe you can find out something more about him.

He is in the game already and he is not “just there”, I think it is safe to say that he left some mark and impression behind and it can be up to you to re-discover it. I don’t want to say too much, but it is really dope!

Archive room polish

Malaria still polishes the Archive Room, making it look a little bit “meaner”. Many other parts of the map are getting the same treatment and there is an active quest to make it look as good as possible.

ASAP Man teleport

It is no secret that ASAP Man, which is one of the few main characters, has a role that hasn’t been shown as much. You were able to see a lot of “Enons”, but only a few mentions of ASAP Man, and we believe it is a good thing and it should stay like that :D However, I think everyone can see that he has a bit of a Boss vibe to him. And as all bosses, they must be everywhere on time to make sure everyone else is working on time. So Malaria cooked a cool animation for exactly that.

Finally, as always, we would like to express our gratitude for your help and support. Seeing mentions of The Flat on social media and getting an influx of new wishlists means a lot to us. We hope to grow further and deliver even more stunning visuals and code each week.

So once again, thanks a lot! <3
