Update #39 (Levels, Trailer, and more)
🕑 Added 2024-07-26 00:35:29 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It's been a bit since the last update, and there is a LOT to unpack. This is not the regular update formatting, but I figured there was enough information in here to warrant it's own update post, rather than 3 or 4 singular posts.
Trailer Release
In case you've been living under a rock, we're releasing a new trailer on August 25th! The public will learn the release date soon, but I figured you should be the first to know. Officially, we're leaning towards the title, "Pre-Release Trailer". It'll showcase new levels, entities, and an introduction to the lore and storyline of Subliminal!
Level Deduction & Playtime
If you haven't seen the update on our Discord server, Subliminal has been updated to only have 8 levels at release, rather than the 15 originally planned. Don't worry, playtime will roughly stay the same as originally intended. We're estimating around 30 minutes to an hour per level, so probably 6-8 hours of playtime.
Why the decrease in levels?
We made the decision to cut down on release levels quite a bit to better flesh out, extend, polish, and really get everything we want to out of the main levels. This ensures each level is built with MUCH higher quality standard and packed with all the mechanics we had planned to include.
Of course, the other levels will continue development and be added in future updates and/or DLCs later in the storyline.
List of Levels
After much deliberation and storyline planning, we have landed on the following 8 levels to be in Subliminal's release.
Displayed in alphabetical order:
Basement Nostalgia
Childhood Memories
Pipe Dreams
RUN
The Hotel
The Metro
Ventilation
WaterWorks (formerly Waterpark)
Levels that may make an appearance, but not in full form:
Cave
Factory
Entities
Although I can't share too much here yet, you'll see some when the trailer releases on August 25. You guys are going to love meeting Smile! He's super friendly, I promise.
A bit of sad news however, it appears that Felix escaped containment, and he hasn't been seen since. He is officially discontinued from the Subliminal storyline, may he rest in peace.
Conclusion
Phew, that was a lot to run through. Here's the TLDR:
Pre-Release Trailer coming out August 25th
Level count decreased to increase production quality
Confirmed list of levels
Felix discontinued
I think that's all, have a good day and don't forget to smile!
Cheers!
