I would like to carefully place this here.

I'm tired of people trying to gatekeep others experiences with games.

You HAVE to use the FOV that's in the game because that's all I think you need.

You HAVE to use the FPS options in the game because that's all I think you should need.

No one is forcing you to use settings you don't want to use.

While the rest of us are looking to devs to make their games more accessible and inclusive, people out there keep trying to stop that, for some reason, because it's not something they've ever experienced, or personally find necessary to them.

 

Stop trying to keep technology in the 90s. We've had 60 hz/fps games for decades. Monitor tech is advancing very quickly now. In the last few years we went from 144hz all the way up to almost 500hz. In another 5 years we'll be getting close to 1000hz displays that are affordable.

I just want to add:

I love accessability, because i miss them in alot of modern games.
Delightfyl has many fps settings, so you can totally get 144fps if that makes you horny.

[AluminumHaste]

EDIT: NM I'm blind.

 

Is there a technical reason to be capped at 144fps? Are there physics issues at higher FPS?

[Filizitas]

There is no cap if you dont want it. You can deactivate the cap and get 999fps. I never seen someone with that hardware but the game has some locks in the code to prevent fallout 4 syndrome.

Whats stoping you, hardware ofc.

[AluminumHaste]

Oh yeah, I see it, thanks! New video cards coming out soon and they will be doozies!

Hello frens, i managed to do my own speedrun of the demo! I hope you like it, it was my first time and i struggled hard.
 

 

[New Horizon]

I wish it wasn't a speed run. lol  It was really difficult to appreciate any of the level design and texture work.  Can the footsteps be more randomized?  They seemed to be on quite the noticeable loop.  

What I could see looked really good though!  Hope to see something a bit more leisurely in the future.

[chakkman]

Yeah, I double that. Would love to see that played in a slower way.  Looks really good.

Are the AI models work in progress, or is that "outline" silhouette style intended?

That, quite literally, is a dark game. Didn't see nough to decide whether it looks good. It definitely needs sound randomization - multiple clips for each sound to shoose from and could also randomize volume and pitch. Footsteps seem to be pretty loud in general when compared to voice lines.

I am working on some new assets and looks, here is another preview.

So that is how liminal space looks like in the Thief universe.

I am working on Elevator stuff, need to figure out how to keep the player inside the elevator when saving...

Some new content is on the map, alongside a new mechanic!

I have some saddest news. The image sadly is too big to be uploaded here.

Get well soon man.

[Filizitas]

Hey its been some time,

I just wanted to make you guys aware, that i have been secretly at work, on the side, on a total remake of the systems from delightfyl. I post a few videos below, the new systems are really really powerful and stable! No idea what i will do with this yet... The effort to make a full game is really expensive and i am distracted and creatively bankrupt. Without outside help i will never make a game like this evermore.

Heya sure,

I am distracted because i am very busy with YWA, i am writing a book and have plans beyond that. Its really massive.
I simply think that i am not suited to make a game like this rn... maybe in 5 or 10 years.
Its hella expensive and you need alot people, i simply cant wait that long.
I need to invest in better things.

Is that the name of your book? I looked up the word and it could easilly mean a 100 different things.

Young Writers Association?

Maybe you could make some kind of modules that other game designers could use in their game.

Haha good try, i am glad people cant figure it out.

I dont want my code to be sold to other people.
I want to profit from it big time.
That means if i dont find a solution for this project, it will go under forever.
Ofc i will take the award as best thief clone anyways.

Thats the reality of this genre.

No I mean you licence (for money) those modules for others to use in their game. But they don't own it.

 

What fits the genre best is if someone would steal your code.

Bad for you but good for thief.

You could say: buy my book for a discount.

[Filizitas]

To my surprise, i have a new update on the project! Its a big update with many new contents!
Please take a look, its a glorious new update.

p.s I am still working on stableizing the AI, it has alot of issues currently
