@YannickZen Hi Yannick! Is the spies game still in production? Its been no word for a while now.

"Country Reflections" A not so serious Country album 😛 Dropping next week! #country #blues #gospel

@SpiesUpdates Game is on hold? :)

Sorry for being quiet! I've been working to complete the HQ level and add a bit of interactivity in places. I won't reveal what specifically though because it will be more fun if you all discover it for yourselves. 😉

@SpiesUpdates We miss you guys. Hope you are doing fine in the pandemic and strange weather.

I'm going on break but when we come back we'll get going on the next level. 👍

@SpiesUpdates I think that is one part of what made those oldschool type of fps-games so fun. Highly replayable levels and no quicksave. So satisfying when you finished a level.

New health pickup. They scale based on difficulty w/ none on hardest difficulty. The notion that you can neither get health back nor quicksave may be scary for newer/lesser skilled players. I hope to relieve that anxiety by letting players get health if they're willing to explore

@SpiesUpdates The sound is just so good. Maybe something for Yannick so check if he wants to. :)

The shooting course is almost finished. Here's a sneak peek. At the end you get scored and rated. Hopefully in the next few months we can release a test build of the headquarters level so you can try this for yourself if you like. We'd like to see if any1 can get the top rating.

@SpiesUpdates Offtopic: This is gonna be my nerdiest comment so far on twitter. I saw Robocop 3 the other day and there is a scene where Dr. Lazarus escapes from being locked in. She fires an UZI with supressor into the air and says "Think it over" (1:32:10 into the movie).

@cristianomtd @SpiesUpdates Nice :)

@SpiesUpdates Awesome work! Hope you have a great break with som rest. Holding my thumbs for a train level.

@SpiesUpdates You are a visual genius Ben!

@DPsy360 Thanks very much! 😄

@SpiesUpdates I like that there is a bio for each character. Imagine if the game becomes such a massive hit there will be a S.P.I.E.S 2. :D I really hope it succeeds. Gonna tell people to buy it when it's done.

S.P.I.E.S. operations room. You can use the computers in this room to read about the game's characters and locations.

@YannickZen Is this mod (mod?) out to play? Looks fun.

Those old ears and eyes of mine or perking up to say the least.

@SpiesUpdates Awesome! Well done! Yeah video :D

@SpiesUpdates Hmm, that beard. What is he thinking? If he wants to advance the ladder within the agency that will have to go. :P

This is Miller. Miller is tape store clerk/aspiring secret agent.

@SpiesUpdates @battierpeeler Gonna be playin, gonna be tellin. :P

@battierpeeler For the first few months it was mostly what I felt like working on. Now I'm making an effort to do what's needed to get out a rough test build for the public. That build will be this headquarters level hence the recent focus on it.

Early screenshot of the SPIES headquarters.

@SpiesUpdates The first pic with the palm trees is just jawdropping. Serious skills.

SPIES in UE5 Early Access. The first thing I notice is that the editor UI is streamlined and has more viewport space. Yay. But when I package and run the game it has a ~25% performance decrease. Oof.

@SpiesUpdates Also, I am not a programmer. I don't know what I am talking about. =P

Impressive real time global illumination in UE5. I have many questions like what PC hardware is needed to run this? Would switching to UE5 preclude some people interested in SPIES from playing it? Really need to know more before making a decision. youtu.be/CfTUll36l1w

@SpiesUpdates I want you to make the game as pretty and future-proof as possible. I will buy a new PC if I need to. UE5 is the future. Games like these don't come around often and we want the optimal experience. Don´t want it to be outdated too fast. Just my opinion.

@SpiesUpdates Awesome! I just need something more for the weekend. My "graphics-addiction" is suffering. :p Action stuffs. Keep up the good work.

Working on small things like this gumball machine. Yes, you can drop gumballs out of it. No, you don't need money to use it. Limit 10 per customer.

@SpiesUpdates @cristianomtd So nice! Great sense of color! What feeling will the game have? Mostly serious like GE, or a bit funnylike N.O.L.F and PD? Prob. advantages/disadvantages with both. Might be possible to be both serious and a bit fun. Maybe different between levels. I have no idéa.Just rambling.:P

Thank you to everyone who gave movie suggestions. Made 7 covers yesterday + 1 from @cristianomtd. Alas, I'm out of stock photo credits so have to wait to make more. In the meantime there's plenty of other work to do on the store like backrooms + classic sliding shelf secret door.
