Hey everyone-


I’m really exited to announce that the Desktop version of Dead Detention Rescribbled - combining all 6 episodes, plus a bunch of extras (such as character bios, extra secrets, and more) - will be releasing next week on the 11th of October on Steam and itch. (Just in time for Halloween!)


Make sure to wishlist it now if you haven’t already~


I think it's come out really cool (really stupid, but really cool), and all your feedback on each episode has really helped me get them feeling super polished and fun. (Especially the boss minigames!)


I’m just refining everything now in time for release :-) (The newgrounds versions of Episode 1, 2 and 3 will be updated shortly with these all these improvements and fixes too! (I'm running a bit behind as usual :p))


Here's some screenshots:

ALSO the html5 port of Episode 4 will also be up within the next 2 weeks or so :)


Thanks,

I'm really excited to announce that my indie rpg FAYE FALLING is finally *OUT NOW*! Check it out on Steam here! And the trailer below:



FAYE FALLING is a turn-based RPG. You play as a recently passed lost spirit, unable to recall who they are, or how they died. After a chance encounter with a powerful entity, you begin an epic journey to defeat a growing darkness, and recover your memories along the way.


Can't believe I announced it all the way back in 2022!!! (I started way too many projects at once LOL.)


Speaking of - episode 2 of Dead Detention Rescribbled will also be up within the next 2 weeks! You can check out episode 1 on my newgrounds or itch.io profile if you missed it!


Thanks so much for reading + playing,

Jack :)

  • 15 year old Max is given a detention for falling asleep in class - but a zombie outbreak suddenly interrupts it! Senior student Naomi saves him from a deadly attack, but can't leave campus without her lost sister Sora.
  • Deciding to stay behind and help her, Max and Naomi begin their quest to find Sora, while struggling to survive the quickly spreading virus...


CHOICES

  • Make narrative choices that are brave, scared, nice or mean.
  • Your choices will compound and lead to 1 of 3 endings, including a special true ending. (Saves are stored locally on the browser, but I might implement NG's cloud saving system in the future)


MICROGAMES

  • Complete quick microgames throughout the story to swing your bat, run from zombies, climb ladders, and much more.
  • Each episode builds to a fun boss challenge - such as target shooting and boxing!

EPISODE 1 THIS FRIDAY. Newgrounds, itch, Steam. (You can check out the trailer and some screenshots now on the Steam page here.)


I'm really sorry for the (almost 2 month!!!!!) delay ~ I'm finally fully happy with Episode 1, and fixed the html5 porting issues (I had to compress the images to get it loading correctly though :/)


It came out so cool. Can't wait for people to play :)


(I'm remaking my old flash series Dead Detention if you missed it~ check my previous posts. Both a html5 and desktop version of all 5 episodes (+the After Story))
