I just wishlisted this. Looks incredibly cool. After Portal and Control I need something that scratches this itch.

torshock.bsky.social•22 days ago

I hope our game will scratch your itch 😉

yourfellowmadman.bsky.social•24 days ago

So small question because I love learning about game creators :-000 what inspired you and what's your end goal for this or any other projects

torshock.bsky.social•24 days ago

This game is inspired by the Portal and Talos Principle series, as well as 20th century sci-fi books. My goal is to create games where players overcome obstacles using their intelligence rather than reaction speed.

yourfellowmadman.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ooooo any challenges you have faced so far if your comfortable answering? Aswell as would you ever want to branch out this idea to other mediums?

torshock.bsky.social•24 days ago

The main challenge is that not many people like intellectual games. And games of this kind are much more difficult to promote and sell.

yourfellowmadman.bsky.social•24 days ago

Awww well I'm wishing you luck and hey I'll tell my friends about this game :-)))

torshock.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you very much for your support!

rubykingstudios.bsky.social•25 days ago

Looks amazing. Definitely looks like a brainer game, so I am on board. Reminds me of Portal with some System Shock thrown in.

torshock.bsky.social•24 days ago

How switch to english

torshock.bsky.social•41 days ago

In the lower right corner of the Steam app, click the icon with 3 lines, then at the bottom of the list, click Settings, then Language.

shweebe.bsky.social•39 days ago

I love puzzles! Some may take me a bit to figure out but it's always worth the struggle. Can't wait to try out your game 😀

torshock.bsky.social•39 days ago

I hope you enjoy our game 😉

nomadicwhovian.vtubers.social•17 days ago

torshock.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thank you! 👍

morbidcorvyd.bsky.social•23 days ago

If it has a cube-shaped friend, I'm all in.

torshock.bsky.social•23 days ago

Starting from the second part, there will be cubes in almost every level of the game 😉

jaindie.bsky.social•61 days ago

Had not seen you here!
Glad to keep up with your dev process

torshock.bsky.social•61 days ago

Thank you! I registered here a month ago.

jaindie.bsky.social•61 days ago

Cool!
Will be great seeing your progress

squall-loire.bsky.social•22 days ago

Any plans for VR support?

torshock.bsky.social•22 days ago

We have no experience developing for VR, so we are not thinking about this direction at the moment.

squall-loire.bsky.social•20 days ago

Totally fair, thanks for responding!

nerdynanny.bsky.social•39 days ago

First you had my curiosity-- now you got my attention.

I'm a SUCKER for Portal-style puzzle games. And VERY eager to give feedback for accessibility!

genericwaffle.bsky.social•24 days ago

azeriath.bsky.social•38 days ago

Looks like a fun and interesting game!
Can't wait to hear more about it!

torshock.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you very much for your interest in our game!

inhumanrampager.bsky.social•24 days ago

Reminds me of Portal in a good way. Wishlisted

torshock.bsky.social•23 days ago

The Portal is our main source of inspiration in a good way. Thank you for adding the game to your wishlist 👍

infineoinfinite.bsky.social•22 days ago

this is kinda like superhot, but less red

torshock.bsky.social•22 days ago

You are right, some locations in our game are similar in color scheme to Superhot.

xopysky.bsky.social•17 days ago

It's also the perfect time to integrate this into VR to created a more immersive experience.

xopysky.bsky.social•17 days ago

This does give a nostalgia feel to it.
It reminds me of another game when PS4 first came out and they introduce a game that involves making portals and figuring out puzzle. Except this one is more different.

This is the perfect time because we are going digital now.

theslothwithin.bsky.social•48 days ago

Jokes aside, can’t wait to see the finished product!! 😁

theslothwithin.bsky.social•48 days ago

Mom can we have portal?

No, we have portal at home

Portal at home:

torshock.bsky.social•48 days ago

The more games like Portal you have in your home, the better 😉

azrhyga.bsky.social•57 days ago

Looking really great!! Really good job!! Good luck working on it!!

I loved portal

Is there an insane yet hilarious AI that taunts and haunts my every move?...

torshock.bsky.social•17 days ago

Our game will have a different type of AI. It will be located directly in the body, which will be controlled by the player, and this AI will periodically display its comments on the screen.

torshock.bsky.social•17 days ago

This AI used to control this body itself, but at the start of the game it made a mistake and fell from a height, after which control over the body passed to the player, but the AI's mind continued to function, that is, at the start of the game something like a split personality occurred in the AI.

torshock.bsky.social•17 days ago

Also, in some places in the game, the player will be able to make up questions for the AI by scanning special symbols on the walls in different sequences.

particle-games.bsky.social•47 days ago

Very portal esque. Looks cool!

plastov-ps2music.bsky.social•23 days ago

The first person puzzle genre doesn't get enough love. Very much interested. Will 'Total Reload' be exclusive to Steam, or is a console release coming later down the road?

torshock.bsky.social•23 days ago

You are right that puzzles are difficult to promote. The game will first be released on PC via Steam, and we will decide on console releases later.

homecominghero.bsky.social•19 days ago

this game looks incredible, wish listed it. looks awesome!

torshock.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you very much for your support!

completelygie.bsky.social•23 days ago

Ok that's an awesome concept for a game ngl

torshock.bsky.social•22 days ago

The game's concept is inspired by sci-fi books by Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Stanislaw Lem.

completelygie.bsky.social•20 days ago

Noice! Always wanted to read Asimov's work. It's on my to-do list!

mrmartellsincere.bsky.social•26 days ago

Will this be on PC and consoles?

torshock.bsky.social•26 days ago

The game will first be released on PC via Steam, and we will decide on console releases later.

swollax.bsky.social•39 days ago

So... do you need testers or creators?

torshock.bsky.social•39 days ago

Thank you for your interest in our game! In February, we plan to release an updated demo version, which will contain 20% of the locations from the full version of the game. Players usually complete the demo in 1-2 hours. You can wait and play the updated demo.

swollax.bsky.social•39 days ago

Sweet. It's on steam then?

torshock.bsky.social•21 days ago

Thank you for recommending our game 👍

fredrik.nerdiverset.no•21 days ago

First rule of figh.. Uhm playing indie games. If you like it:

TELL A FRIEND! :D

torshock.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is a great rule 😀

mudlord.bsky.social•24 days ago

Intriguing, Unreal 5? Using render targets for portals, or Portal-style rendering for them?

torshock.bsky.social•24 days ago

We use Unity, not Unreal.

mudlord.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ah.

bumbleflex.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thanks for the follow, this is an immediate wishlist from me 👍 looks awesome

@torshock.bsky.social This description makes me want to go read some Douglas Adams and that is a GOOD thing!

torshock.bsky.social•24 days ago

When I was writing this description and other texts for the game, I read books by Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Stanislaw Lem, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert.

thatmisroiguy.bsky.social•29 days ago

The Universe is an experiment that has gone awry? That tracks.

Have we tried turning it off and back on again?

casualcoo.bsky.social•39 days ago

I hate puzzles, but if you need testers, LET'S GO! (My partner is a middle school library who will love the game)

torshock.bsky.social•39 days ago

I hope our game will help you to love puzzles 😀 In February, we plan to release an updated demo version, which will contain 20% of the locations from the full version of the game. Players usually complete the demo in 1-2 hours. You can wait and play the updated demo.

horsemisery.bsky.social•19 days ago

fuck off back to twitter with your engagement farm bullshit. p.s. your game looks hacky and uninspired

jagtress.bsky.social•55 days ago

Oh this looks right up my alley! Definitely interested in playing this

torshock.bsky.social•55 days ago

Thank you very much for your interest in our game! I hope you will publish news about it on your site 😉

Played a bit last night, enjoyed it, looking forward to digging into it more!

torshock.bsky.social•31 days ago

Thank you! In February we will release an updated demo version, which will have an improved text output system: players will be able to not only read the texts appearing on the screen, but will also be able to compose questions for the AI themselves by scanning special symbols for this.

thetoddfather6.bsky.social•25 days ago

This looks really interesting!
