Sooooooooooooooooooo; alongside finishing up my indie RPG Faye Falling, I've also been working on a Dead Detention remake. AND Episode 1 is nearly finished! LOOK:
It's been really fun to go back to that story and those characters; something I came up with around 9 years ago now! I always tried to make each episode of the original flash games in under 3 hours; I guess it was kinda the gimmick to make everything look as awful as possible LOL. So it's been cool to actually put a lot of work and polish into this version, while still retaining the original scribbly, crappy South Park inspired look.
The characters and story are basically the same - but it also combines in some elements of the old bonus episodes + some little bits and pieces of the html5 reboot Blue Lights. It'll also have 3 endings based on a little choices you make throughout each episode.
Episode 1 will be up on Newgrounds within the next couple weeks, with a little teaser trailer a bit before. As long as people like it, I'll remake the other 4 + the After Story too! :) And maybe combine them all with extras for a full release? We'll see.....
But either way, it's just been really fun to make at least this episode. And that was the only reason I made so many of the flash games; it was low-stakes, stupid fun. I still can't believe they got as popular as they did.
Anyway. Seeya soon ! ;-0

PS. I also unprivated all the old episodes and series. Enjoy them in all their crappiness!! ;-D
