It's been about a year since I released the Backrooms Text Game and now after reading a book (that happened to be about C#) I'm thinking about updating the game (more so rewrite the code) then another update that'll contain the real content.

Well, that's what I said on Twitter, here's the more complete plan:

UPDATE 2.0: THE "THE FIRST CODING PROJECT I'VE DONE SINCE I READ THAT BOOK" UPDATE

yup, i'm pulling a Mojang and not naming the update yet, i'll think of one eventually (i hope)

What will be in the update?

• The whole game will be re-coded, this will have little to no effect on gameplay it's just for me
• More Items
• More Entities
• More Events(?)
• More interesting Human Wanderers
• Remove the Human/Entity encounter limit it was dumb anyways
• Maybe add more bs the player has to deal with
• Something silly probably
• A COMPLETE Rework of how the Backrooms are generated (which includes a map)

First thing I'm working on is that last point because it'll most likely be a real pain but totally worth it

This update will more be laying a better foundation for future updates (more levels, entities, mod support somehow even) so when the real content starts coming in it'll be much easier to do

UPDATE 3.0: THE "LEVELS 1 AND 2 AND ALSO MAYBE SOME OTHER STUFF" UPDATE

wow i'm good at naming theses things. This will be where all the juicy content i roughly planned long ago finally gets implemented

What will be in the update?

• Levels 1 AND 2
• More Items, Entities, Events probably
• An EXP and Levelling System because there wasn't enough stats to keep track of
• Groups/Factions (idk probably) which will include more availability of important resources
• Shops and Permanent Upgrades
• A real saving system to remember all this progress as it seems runs will start being much longer now
• LORE????!?!??!?!?!?!?!? (maybe not)
• And probably some more stuff when i think of it

oops did i say v2.0 was the foundations maybe the more essential parts while the slightly less important stuff can come later

More info will mostly be shown on my Twitter as i get around to it, until then i'm going to be working on that map / room generation

Also before i go, 200 views and 44 downloads!?! That's a lot for me and easily trumps every other game on my itch.io page COMBINED by a landslide, so thank you everyone for playing and enjoying the Backrooms Text Game and i hope these next updates will improve the game tenfold.

Happy Holidays
