Gas station update 0.3 is coming + Opportunity to be in the game
Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates. A good friend of mine passed away and I haven't had the motivation to write much. But I've been getting a lot done with the game and 3.0 is almost complete.I'm kind of hesitant to say too much because of spoilers, but I think you guys are going to enjoy it and the context it brings to the rest of the game.I also have 3 openings for anyone who wants their face in the game :)I'm going to ne...
Power Drill Massacre Remake - Test Build
Here is an old 2015 build I found of the PDM remake. It's not much, but might be fun if you want to run around and check out the art. It's only the first level (the others don't seem to load. Maybe you guys can figure it out). I don't think the killer is in this version but I only played for a few minutes. Anyways, just thought I'd upload since I found itDOWNLOAD: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1twSeAKQtXEbEnzsbMUvVZduMW1UrU...

June Plans - Stay Out of the House Full and Babysitter Bloodbath Cd-roms
Hope you guys enjoy the new version. Please let me know what you think or what would improve the game. It's hard for me to test it objectively since I know exactly what to do and how the Ai worksHere's what I'm planning this month.0.2.X - I want to update a few things with the current demo Add a pistol to defend yourself Some first aid kits Make the dining room table into another hiding spot A few tweeks to the Ai patterns so you have...
STAY OUT OF THE HOUSE - 0.2 Update
It's up! The windows version at least. Building the mac version right now. I'm expecting there to be some bugs, so please let me know if you get stuck on anything major and I'll try to get a fix up as soon as possible.I'm aiming to make Stay Out of the House more realistic than my previous games. The ai is way more intelligent than my previous games and actively hunts you.For best results, approach the game as if you've actual...
Updates - Bear Traps and Poison Gas
Some new updates for the game. First the bear traps:The killer throws traps down as he searches the house for you. Get caught in a trap and you're totally stuck until you look down and tap escape to reopen the trap and get awayVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdrtBacbVb4You can also disable traps with the screwdriver ahead of time because getting caught when the killer is chasing you could be a death sentence. Of course you can jump ove...
Final inventory
I've finally got this working the way I envisioned. Well kind of, I started with Silent Hill in mind but think I ended up with Tomb Raider. On the plus side, I don't have to make any item icons, but still need to set up the pivots, rotations and scales when I make new items.Next I'm moving back to Ai. The list is getting shorter! I want to get all the mechanics working well for 0.2, so I can move on to adding content (more puzzles and...
Sound meter + puzzles done.
New updates! All the puzzles are in place and things are nearly ready to go... But first the bad news, I'm going to have to delay 0.2 until next week. Reasons why are belowSound meter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HdywpghtQkI decided to move the sound meter from the UI on to the actual model.The old version looked a bit weird in game.It's working pretty well so far. But it presents another design challenge: being able to carry only on...
Babysitter Bloodbath CD-ROM Preview
Preview of the upcoming Babysitter Bloodbath CD limited edition. I've been planning and putting this off for a while because I've been so busy with game design. I've got a good amount of the game manual done. But still have to finalize the covers, cd art, and create a launcher when you put the disc in.I'm going to finish this up after Stay out of the House 0.2 comes out. Look out for them next month. I'm not sure about the pri...
Lockpick system
It's done! This actually took way longer than I had expected (like 10 hours total) but it's working pretty well at the moment. I was actually going to hold off on lockpicking until a later version of the game but I had to move the order of some of the puzzles around.I'll probably change the 'bent paper clips' to just paper clips and they'll be another thing you'll need to collect, especially for later versions of the g...
Updates, AI and Lighting
The 0.1.3 alpha is now safe to make videos if anyone wants to. Thanks for waiting!Still working on 0.2. The basic AI has been functional since before the first version, but actually setting him up to move around the house properly and taking all the scenarios and tactics he can use into account makes polishing everything a lot harder.The general gameplay is like Meat Cleaver Mutilator or Nightripper (and Granny), but hopefully a bit more advanced...

Working on new puzzles
The game took a bit of a different direction in the last 2 days. Here are some things I'm working onNew puzzles: I have a bunch of these done. I know I keep showing the screwdriver one but I don't want to spoil anything. Designing everything in a test room for now because I haven't starting building much of the environment yet.Short draw distance: I also finally figured out how to fade out the max draw distance with black fog. You can...
Meat Cleaver Mutilator 2?
Gameplay: https://youtu.be/I5IVuaQOICYChase test: https://youtu.be/U6l9ZZQxA5II know I have trouble sticking to something, so lately I've been inspired by that Granny game everybody has been playing (because I think I can do it better).So I've been working on a Meat Cleaver sequel. It's a first person stealth puzzle game like others in the genre (Hello Neighbor). You sneak around the house hiding from the cleaver killer, solving puzzl...

Plans for this month
Going to finally finish BSBH this month! I have about 10 more obstacle rooms to design, as well as the rest of the boss battles and hopefully a few more puzzles as well as other areas to explore.I want to wrap it up as soon as possible so I can move onto finishing the other games. I think Pitchfork Massacre will be next. I had a decent amount done when I left off. The puzzles and levels were laid out and it was just a matter of polishing, decorat...
Buzz-Saw Blood House - 3.0 Update
NOTE: If you're interested in playing for the first time, start with the 2.0 Version because you'll get the beginning of the story.

BSBH 3.0 t-shirt contest
ANNOUNCEMENT We have a winner!!!: PhuCat YouTube.com/PhuCatGeek3.0 is ready to drop! I'll be posting the download link at 11 pm EST.The demo might be literally impossible so I thought it would be fun to have a contest. The first person to beat the demo and send me the secret code at the end gets a free, unreleased BSBH tshirt (mock up above. still finalizing the art)The 3.xx alphas are for testing new traps I'm working on. None of the art...
New obstacles
The side scrolling camera script I created is pretty versatile and luckily works for top down sections as wellI'm hoping to have a new prototype out next week with more obstacles to test out.I've been reading a bit about platforming and puzzle game design. I wish I could say it was helping, but I think it's another case of me being overwhelmed with details and things to consider while also second guessing everything. So I'm just g...
New update and content options for youtube and streaming
BSBH 2.2.1 is up with some more fixes, improvements and optionsThe content option will censor the porn. It's set to Rated-X by defaultThe video mode gives a second PSX setting that looks much cleaner. This is also important for streaming because video compression handles noise terribly.Plus other improvements such as a skippable intro.Download: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bsbh-version-2-0-17282796Now that the 2.x series to totally wrapped u...
Buzz-Saw Blood House 2.2 up!
Actually on time for once. I'd call this the definitive 2.X version. Finally time to move on to pumping out more content and finishing this up. Still need to add combat, but all the other major coding it down.I decided against the techno music which didn't really fit the hopeless isolated tone and went with a more childlike dissonant soundtrack of music boxes and lullabies. Visually it's more of a Guinea Pig shot on video look. Hope y...
2.2 demo is on the way
I should have this wrapped up by tomorrow. I actually skipped a lot of the decorating I had planned and have been focusing on key features. I'm not totally sure how many of these rooms will make it to the final version and what order they'll be in, so I want to hold off on making things look pretty, and instead work on new rooms and string the whole thing together later.I've added a few new things and fixes. The occlusion system is no...

BSBH Slight delay
Sorry guys, BSBH is taking slightly longer than expected. I've been trying to build the demo but I've been stuck on shader errors I don't know how to fix. Previous Unity versions would have built a stand alone even with some errors, but the current version I've upgraded to gets stuck. Trying to have this up later today.That said, I kind of ran out of time on the demo and it's not totally up to my liking. I will have a new 2.1 ...
