FROM:ADMIN — @USER, "If you've found this, you've somehow found access to the Terminus. Congratulations, Interloper. Now, stay tuned."

GATEWAY | MASTERLIST

Terminus Interactive is creating games and stories both analog and digital with horror, occult and science fiction undertones. It’s managed by a BIPOC who really, really, loves all things sweet and horror.

“Just call me, Curator Nil!”

Games-In-Progress:

Gnosis Bomb

Not much will be told of this project, until some core rules are finalized. Which, I’m going to start playtesting this game studio. It’s a beloved game by the Void Agency (which is what you earthers call us). This will first have an initial study that will consist of: a Pre-Survey, reading the game rules and then a Post-Survey. It should take no more than thirty minutes. DM for more information.

Aberrant Offerings

Aberrant Offerings is a third person (with first person POV switch) farm-life styled game with a horror twist! More coming soon.

Void Installer

Void Installer will be a point and click-- and/or keyboard only style game. As a Tech-Janitorial, the player has to cleanse and piece together information nodes together. Their accuracy dictates how the game will end.

Games I’m Co-Developing:

(Working Title) Project Zombie by Deadbyte Studios, I’m the Game Designer and Writer for this game. It’s a point and click, FPS hybrid PSX styled game where you play as T.O.B.I. Investigator, Niccolo Tomasi as he investigates a small Italian town.

Twitter & Itch.Io for Deadbyte Studios.

I’m doing my best to get this character locomotion tool to work

[terminusinteractive]

I’ve decided to switch character controllers to use while I’m not too deep into the project and whatnot, I’m having some difficulty with utilizing UFPS by Opsive. The tool just seems to not want to work.

[terminusinteractive]

Graphically at least, some changes are coming. It’s hard to believe that this started as a 2D project. After some features are finished and ironed out, it’s nothing but story writing and level design.

[terminusinteractive]

While not Aberrant Offerings, this is the first project that I’ve been working on.

Void Installer (or simply, Viexe)

I’m wanting to expand some already completed features and then I need to add in some dialogue for a bit of the progression. The goal is to have a .hack//Infection style effect on the secondary part of the game.

The endings will be when the weapons are usefully, otherwise-- not so much.  For a better computer style gameplay, I already have my eyes on a particular asset since that would otherwise be way too much coding.

[terminusinteractive]

I’m still trying to workshop ideas of how interactive this can be: I’ve always been a fan of ARGs. I was thinking of creating some secrets that will effectively create a folder of “evidence” but only for that specific playthrough.

This evidence could then be entered onto the CLI styled input area on the website and take the player to a different page.

[terminusinteractive]

This is a very, very rough draft. I’m thinking that I want the website to be like this. Kind of like a manila folder. But there are some interaction parts. So what do I mean by CLI input area and ARG? So, say you found a note in the game. In this note, there is a seemingly random string of characters. You will then be able to type that in-- and it could take you to a secret location on the website. This would have some information and coordinates that will take you to an in-game location.

Another possible shirt design?! I’m trying to make everything fit a general idea. Though this would make an interesting design for a game; I’d have to brainstorm what the actual objective would be.

This was fully rendered from my sketch by the amazing mahardika_a_.

This is where it starts:

My metrics scene: I’m working on the day and night cycle and there are a couple of assets that I do need to purchase to make things go smoothly. But this is the start. Everything that I have is pretty barebones and crude; I’m still trying to get an estimate on how large I want the map to be. Since it needs to feel good in both third person (and in first person) when I get that switch to working with this character controller.

Aberrant Offerings: Proposed Romances

A little more about Aberrant Offerings.

Since Aberrant Offerings is a type of farming life-sim, one of the proposed stretch goals will be romances. With whom?

With the cryptids, and a cult that may enter the Town of St. Guthrie. 

[terminusinteractive]

There are three projects:

Gnosis Bomb,

Void Installer,

Aberrant Offerings,

&&

All of them are connected.

Terminus Plugin Injected.

Ahem. Testing?

Uploading WIP logo...

Logo is now displaying.

This has been a time-consuming task but I gotta break myself out of my shell to do this. Hello! I'm Torey, and I'm the Founder of Terminus Interactive. I'm a woman, and Terminus Interactive is a black owned brand and gaming studio from Louisville, KY. I'm the sole owner and only employee (but in the near future, hopefully not). This is my first venture: I'm wanting to create horror-based video games, ARG and later on immersive VR (but not exclusively at all!) experiences.

But what is the item, you ask?

There are multiple ones but here’s one the main high concept document(s), the actual GDD is ~30 pages: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XBRYVpgk-D1kA9FbVqQpkXlJbvowjKYOXdGUlZLYups/edit#

Well! At the moment, I'm working on the prototype and I'm not going to ask for donations. Instead, I'll direct you to my Etsy shoppe! Note: The shop will have more designs but I’m not going to rush the artists at all. I have some written work if you’re interested in that too! As a freebie, just ask.

The Discounts:

CURATORS15 - 15% OFF QUARTERVOID - 25% OFF w/ minimum of $30

Proceeds are going directly to game developing, helping pay bills and with enough sales outsourcing freelancers. All the content I'm designing is with these pillars in mind: gothic(in some way), tech, occult & the cosmos. If you can’t buy something-- share this post, and if you ask. I’ll likely make another promo-code (restrictions apply though).

The bottom grey bar is supposed to be a url link, it's supposed to be like Tor in a way. Except, it's how the Terminus Interacts with others.

The TAP stands for Terminal Acess Point. It's supposed to be a type of URL Code, but indexed for specific starting planet codes.

Technically, this mock-up is supposed to be a livestreaming app. That bridges per se, the Terminus to one or more differing planet/dimensions.

[terminusinteractive]

This is the first make of this. I like how it is but at the same time... I need to figure out what to put in the blank space in-lore. :)
