Dead Detention Remake Coming Soon! ~

Posted by JackAstral - March 24th, 2024


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 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

It's so nice to see Dead Detention again! Though, you're going to do remakes of Alula Falling Chaos Girl, Chaos Eclipse, and Chronicle Bulletin, right?

Possiblyyyyyyyy Alula and Chaos Girl. (It really just depends on how ppl respond to the DD remake I guess :-P)

My upcoming RPG "Faye Falling" actually started as an Alula Falling remake, hence the name. The concept ended up very different, but it reuses lots of characters, plot points and themes :V

Gotta say, I'm REAALLLLY excited for The Dead Detention Remake! Also I'm overjoyed Ya brought back your old stuff (Chaos Girl and Chronicle Bulletin are like my favorite Flashes on here!) Can't wait for Faye Falling either! Keep up the good work man!!! :D

Thanks so much! That means a lot :-D

Did you ever complete Death Falling or did that get scrapped/morph into Faye Falling?

That was scrapped sadly :( I really liked that story though, so I might make it one day...!

Hooray! I'm super excited to see all of your old works coming back. I love me some Dead Detention as it was the first world I seriously began following and looking for all the clues and shoutouts to your other works.

Super excited for your full 2nd game to release as well!

That's really cool to hear, thanks !!! :-) Kinda sad I never got to finish what I was building towards back them - I had this really big ending mapped out that'd tie everything together lol

But I'm sure I'll get around to using lots of those ideas at some point ;-)
