IotD2 Development Article #6 - July 2024
Hi everyone,
I'm still working hard on my custom story called Illusions of the Dead 2. I have some good news and some bad news. In this development article I will be talking about the future of this custom story!
- New lantern preview
Like I said in the previous development article, the Custom Story is now a Full Conversion Mod, which will feature the A Machine for Pigs lantern. This will create a more immersive experience, add more shadows to the environment and overall a better atmosphere. Check it out for yourself!

- Custom chapter select screen
Like I mentioned earlier in another development article, the mod will feature 4 chapters in total. 3 of which can be selected and completed in any order. This is achieved by creating a custom chapter select screen as seen in the image below:

You, the player, will be able to step in any of the 3 teleportation zones. After 5 seconds, the selected chapter will start the loading process. Once the chosen chapter is completed, the player won't be able to enter the chapter again. Something unique in my opinion :)

- Development will slow down a bit
And last but not least, some bad news. Unfortunately I've decided that development has to slow down for a bit. Until now, I've been working so extremely hard on this mod that I'm starting to feel a little bit burned out. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun to do in my spare time! But I'm so busy in real life with thing like:
- My full time job
- My girlfriend and family
- My social life and friends
So, no, the project is not cancelled, but I will take my time developing this mod. And to be honest, I'm also a little bit sad to see the lack of interaction and comments, yet I understand it's an old game and that's the way things go. I will also be setting the expected release date to 2025. I hope for your understanding!
Please let me know what you think!
