Pulcra Vermis:Re

Hey everyone! I’m working on “Pulcra Vermis:Re”, a remake of "Pulcra Vermis".

Pulcra Vermis:Re is a first-person puzzle exploration game with elements of psychological horror. In the game, the main character finds himself trapped in a strange dimension with the only thing in sight being a colossal castle. After lifting a mysterious book from the ground, he starts hearing an impassive female voice. 

This will be a long journey but I really hold this game dear to my heart so this time, I want to achieve something I wasn't able to in the previous iteration, I want to tell a story, a story between two souls separated and reunited by death.

This is the progress I've made so far:

• Added volumetric fog.
• Improved the lighting and post-processing settings.

• Expanded the labyrinth and blocked out a new area.
• Reprogrammed the object interaction and pickup systems.
• Enhanced a bit the look of the hall.

• Replaced objects with high vertices counts with lower ones without affecting the overall look.
• Created an improved version of the chest, chests now have a higher purpose than just being decorations.

• Blocked out an exit from the labyrinth back to the castle.
• Fixed a bug in which the female voice would spawn endlessly when repeatedly dropping and picking the book.

• Multiple assets were replaced with improved versions.
• Added some balusters here an there.
• Different footsteps sounds for different surfaces.
• Ambient volume lowers when inside the castle or enclosed spaces.
• Better looking and optimized bookshelves in the library.
• Randomly stacked books (still looks unnatural because of the spacing between each but I will improve it).

• Turning pages ( still need to fix that shadow bias artifact).

• Added doors that open in the direction the character's facing. 
• The library has a starry ceiling now.
• Started working on a new room.

• The second tower is now open.
• Replaced the previous body with an improved one, now it looks more like a statue( this one will have animations so prepare yourself to be spooked).

• Started sculpting an improved main character and monster meshes.
• Added a new character to the game( still in early progress).

• Programmed a dialogue system with multiple choices.
• Started blocking out the upper levels of the castle.
• Officially changed the executable name from "MyHouse" to "Pulcra Vermis" ( I'm really ashamed of myself, really).
• Composed a soundtrack for the game.
• And other minor additions.
