itch.io

No, I wouldn't say so. I have a major version 2.0 release that is in development right now, and it is taking a long time to re-create the game from the ground up all over again.

The development of this release is currently on hold due to my college work and other small side projects I am working on. I last worked on this game about a month ago and plan on picking it back up in the summer!

yeah but how many easter eggs have you found and completed though? :>

lol, I have a discord server where I make posts on the update that is coming out. It still has quite a long way to go especially with some real life road blocks that are slowing me down. There is a link somewhere on this page that will take you to the discord server!

Of course! I've been a little backlogged working on the new version because I am starting all over from scratch to make some big changes to this game. School and work has gotten in the way, but there will be plenty of new maps (and gamemodes!)!!

that was an automatic update that itch.io rolled out which tagged every game with the number of players able to play in a session

Thanks! I've been working on a new version of the game that will hopefully be out soon! ^.^

Yeah, I had considered this idea at the very start, but wasn't sure how to deal with other players constantly informing their teammates where slender is. If a work-around comes up, I'd consider it again!

Hey, thanks! It's great to hear that you are enjoying the game, and I will definitely be pushing for a new update sometime soon!

Wow! I really appreciate your feedback! I will definitely be adding a minimap of sorts to each map, as well as some cool new features. You can see some new things I have made already in my discord server, and I would like to say that your feedback is what keeps me making games like these! Thanks again :)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely thinking of redoing the jumpscare haha, but most likely won't be able to add survivor bots... :< I will be adding an in-game map though, and it will let you see explored parts of the map, as well as which pages have been collected already and maybe even dead players... :) Thanks again!

Hey Chopst, thanks for the feedback! I have plenty more easter eggs planned with the new version coming out! I did notice the bug you pointed out related to the flashlight going through the walls still being able to stop slender, and this should be fixed in the future version. I'm currently rebuilding the entire game from the ground up again in order to use a better engine and add more features to the game. Thanks again!

yeah ill probably do this

bruh lol

I post my game on 2 different sites, and one of them doesn't allow any form of public chat. If I were to add text chat it would only be for the itch.io version of the game, which would just be more annoying to manage and keep track of. Still possible, and I still might consider doing it for itch. Many have asked for public chat, and believe me, I want it too lol

lmao sure, it will come out in the 2.0 update. You can see the progress towards the next update on my discord server btw

Hey thanks for the feedback! Bot players are going to be very difficult to implement, so most likely not for the foreseeable future :P

Very fun and polished!

Nice! I've already planned a feature exactly like this for the new version of the game! I'll add hide & seek as a gamemode you can play! (eventually TM)
Thanks for the feedback! :)

Thanks! There is a big overhaul update coming out sometime in the summer hopefully, I'm rebuilding the game from scratch!

it definitely wasn't me... :>

Interesting... Rumor has it that it is used somewhere in the basement. Good luck! :)

Thanks! Yes, I do have a map of the Highschool map, it is pinned in the general chat of my discord, which is linked somewhere on this game's page :P

Yeah, I was thinking of adding different game modes or minigames to the main game so that everything would be in one place

Thanks for the feedback! I've already sketched out the design of a new map, but haven't had time to actually make it due to college. Maps take a long time to make and the whole process takes around 6 months on and off with school and free time. I also do plan on adding many more skins, I've updated the skin system which makes adding new skins a bit easier and more automatic, so there should be many new skins with every game update! I had thought about adding different game modes / minigames, but had not yet thought about story mode! It sounds like an interesting idea, especially with the multiplayer aspect. Thanks! :)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I am aware of this bug, and have been trying to fix it but haven't had much time to work on this game lately due to college. The bug happens when an outside spectator leaves the game, it actually thinks that an actual survivor died, which means that the game could think there are 0 survivors left, even though there are still people alive. I don't think it happens every time, but there must be some certain condition that thinks a real player left, rather than a spectator. I'll definitely have more time to work on this over the summer, and hopefully I'll bring a big update along with it! :) Thanks again <3

the flashlight points towards the mouse, but also cannot be shined behind the player which is why it snaps sometimes when you turn. I've been trying to think of ways to make it cleaner but haven't had any good ideas yet

oh ok

lol, I have a system in place that auto bans the public queue host if they kick too many players. It is set to around 10, but I'll probably lower it for the next version. sorry about that, that sounds pretty annoying :p xD

Thanks for the feedback! I've always been meaning to make an open chat, but it has been a little rocky when posting to other sites. They don't allow open / unmoderated chats probably for a good reason, and I had assumed itch was the same. The only good use a chat would have would be for the public servers to talk to the other players, and I would have to make two separate versions of the game to post on itch vs the other sites. Unfortunately, I don't think a chat will be coming into the game anytime soon unless some rules change.

wooooot wooooot

Care to clarify? What part won't work? Will the entire game just not load, or is it something with the multiplayer? It's kind of hard to help you or fix the game when all you say is that it doesn't work. It might be something with the system or browser you are using, google chrome usually works but other browsers have tended to not work. Also the internet you are using could prevent the multiplayer from working since some school or public internets prevent the multiplayer system from connecting properly. Hope this helps

Thanks! It was in the works for a whole year :D

Hey, sadly this is an annoying bug with the multiplayer system since it is peer to peer which means some computers don't allow others to access their computer directly, so I have to set up other external servers to fallback to when this happens. I have a link to a beta version of the game where I added a bunch more fallback servers which should hopefully fix most of the cases where it crashes: https://grassboii.itch.io/slender-testing

There is a green link under the 'Development' and also the 'Help/Faq' tabs right under where you play the game

You drag bodies to locations where they can be revived. It's kind of a secret mechanic so you have to explore and find out where they get revived :o

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I am currently working on making a new map, and it is just about finished, you can see some sneak peeks on my discord server linked somewhere on this page :P

Ooh, not a bad idea. It's going to be real tough to implement that but yeah that would be interesting to play against

No, I used Construct's built in Multiplayer feature.

Are you using a chromebook or on school wifi? Those things tend to make the multiplayer not work. Sometimes the multiplayer can't connect when there are players using firewalls which can prevent players from fully connecting

Ha yeah, it is definitely planned for the future, but some bigger things need to get done before that!
