    Yeah, what ever happened to this. Totally forgot about it. I remember when I first saw the gameplay and I was like :eek:

    Cheers guys...

    Thanks for the questions guys.

    Sorry its been so long since any updates...

    The game got put on hold for a bit... life, work, babies and attention getting in the way.

    I eventually decided to spend 2 weeks making a quick and simple game (Escape Artist), which 8 weeks on, I'm still tinkering with. Should be finished in a fortnight.

    Then I'm planning on jumping back on Dark Asylum.

    The whole Dark Asylum game has been planned out, every single puzzle, storyline, the Dr. :)

    Thanks for the interest, and I hope to make some real progress over the Summer.

    progress...

    Yeah sorry guys... the game is still in the pipeline for getting finished...

    Been working on promoting stormystudio.com as an app/game developer company for others to use our services...

    But the game will hopefully kick started again soon. I want to make sure we allow enough time to do it as well as it could be and not be tempted to cut it down purely to get it out on the app store...

    Check out www.stormystudio.com for a tiny bit more information on the project. Also one of the panning images on the first page of the site has a Dark Asylum "The Doctor is coming' graphic...

    Can't wait until you start working on the game again, games like this are rare on the app store. In the meantime, can you please share the name of the photographer you are collaborating with? I'm really into photographs of abandoned places, so I'd like to check his/her work :)

    Quick Text Update:

    - Still working on improving loading times between rooms from 5 seconds down to 1 or 2.

    - Added 'Play alone in the dark with headphones' intro screen with children singing a nursery rhyme that moves around in stereo sound when wearing headphones.

    - In App Purchase Option: I'm considering making a large first part of the game free to play then the rest of the game an in app purchase to get the full game. This way it completely stops piracy, and will get more people hooked on the game. What do you think?

    - Fixed lots of little bugs, so all the current content is working perfectly.

    - Loads of imagery to make still, but its looking good.

    - As always I'm still pushing to keep it as scary as possible...

    Cheers for looking...I'll post some updated images/videos soon.
