Submachine 5 HD goes one step further than previous HD conversions. This one, aside from being a fullscreen HD version also has enhanced graphics (meaning I spend few days doodling over existing images, making them more detailed – as seen above).

I was also thinking about extending the gameplay, but after a long debate with myself inside my head I decided not to do it. I might write a longer explanation of this later on. Meanwhile, as you all wait patiently for upcoming Submachine 9 – you can revisit this installment. I revisited it after six years after creation and I’m happy to announce it still kind of holds up to todays standards.

Ok, let’s address the elephant in the room. As it turns out I won’t be able to finish the new Submachine game this year. It’s just humanly impossible to do it in about 10 days. I know that 100% of you think that it’s ok and you want a quality game rather than a half-baked rushed mess, even by expense of waiting a bit longer. I’m just coming clean to those waiting impatiently and hoping it’ll come this holiday season. I feel like I owe you this piece of information so you can breathe out, at least for now.

A bit longer, probably TL;DR explanation below.

So here’s what happened.

I was playing all submachines in order to get into the right state of mind for the upcoming episode, right? Then I almost accidentally opened the submachine 2 work file, to see how much the code got old and how much work I’ll need in order to create an HD version. I don’t quite remember what happened after that – but here’s the revisited, renewed and kind of polished a bit version of the game. It’s still the same game, I just dusted it off.

So I took a long, upclose look at this game. I found a potential. A potential to reorganize a bit, stir things up, add new material, finally add some kind of rewards for finding the secrets – that’s all you wanted back in 2006 as I recall. All in the HD version that’s bound to happen someday. For now – here’s a good template to start working on the extended submachine universe.

Good times ahead.

Hang on.
