Devlog: The Journey Behind Anomalies Beyond Sight - 0.1.0


Hi everyone!

I'm Tivs, I'm a computer science student with a passion for coding. Today, I'm excited to share a part of my journey behind Anomalies Beyond Sight, my first game!

The beginning

The idea for Anomalies Beyond Sight came from my fascination with games that blend mystery, suspense, and a sense of discovery. Inspired by the “I’m on Observation Duty” series, I wanted to create a game that challenges players to stay observant and uncover anomalies in a spooky yet engaging environment. My goal was to create an immersive experience where players feel curious and tense as they investigate the anomalies in the game.

Why this project?

I've always dreamed of making a game, and even though it isn't groundbreaking, I still enjoyed thinking about it. As a computer science student, it came across my mind again. Now that I had some coding experience, I thought "Why not try making a game?".  I’ve spent countless hours studying algorithms, writing code, and building software projects, but I’d never made a game before. This project allowed me to dip my toes into game development and bring one of my ideas to life. I was intrigued by the 'I'm on Observation Duty' series and I find it a very fun concept, hence I gave it my own shot!

What’s in Version 1?

This is the very first version of Anomalies Beyond Sight. In this game, anomalies appear, disappear, or move around in the environment. Players are tasked with tracking and reporting them through a logging system. If an anomaly remains unchecked for too long, it could lead to a game-ending failure, adding to the stakes.

Expect Bugs!

Since this is my first game, there’s a high chance you’ll encounter bugs or rough edges while playing. As with any first version, there’s always room for improvement, and I appreciate your patience and feedback as I learn and refine the game.

What's next?

Looking ahead, I’m eager to add more features, polish the game mechanics, and enhance the overall experience. This project has been an incredible learning experience, and I’m excited to keep growing as a developer.

Thank you for joining me on this journey! I hope you enjoy exploring Anomalies Beyond Sight. Keep an eye out for updates and feel free to share your thoughts—they mean the world to me as I continue improving the game.

Stay curious and keep hunting for anomalies!
