| Before Exit: Supermarket - Official Release Date Trailer | 2024-07-25 | Hello customers, Today we have small update for you... but quality one! We proudly present: Before Exit: Supermarket - Official Release Date Trailer |
| Devlog #11 - Release date annoucement! | 2024-07-19 | Hello everyone! 08.08.2024 Yes, release of Before Exit on PC is less than month away. We basically completed whole gameplay loop and now we are focusing on polishing and fixing issues that we have found. We have playtested the game and even in current state it was pretty playable, so we expect that release should go expected to proceed smoothly… … as always. We are not experienced studio, but we already went trough some game releases. Some of them was directly produced by us, in some we were part of a team. It’s hard to predict what will exactly happen after such crucial day in a game development cycle. Will there be game breaking bug that we |
| Devlog #10 - Buy two, get one free! | 2024-07-16 | Hello Customers! We are still working hard, buuut what would a day be without a decent devlog? Today I want to introduce you to my new friend - Crate cart! https://i.imgur.com/ni5jY6X.jpeg It helps with the distribution of crates around the storage and shop. The player can carry crates by hand, but it is less time-efficient and he can grab only one per run… https://i.imgur.com/7DXfzr7.gif …because a cart can carry two crates simultaneously! https://i.imgur.com/bGG6mGP.gif It uses the same driving system as our shopping cart, and it is still bugged a little bit but still, you will be able to move crates faster! We will use it in certain scenar |
| Devlog #9 - “Dear Diary, he didn’t fire me today… | 2024-07-12 | Customers! We are making progress with the gameplay scenarios that you will encounter in the game. We don’t want to spoil anything, but there are first indicators about your cause in this shop! https://i.imgur.com/dgtZ4q3.jpeg (those one in Polish, we didn't have translations yet. Sorry!) Of course, those are not your only sources about what to do in the game, but a large part of the tasks will require that you deduce them from the environment or guess them based on the right setting. The first note is a static objective list, it tells you what you should check first if you want to complete each evening. This note is more of a signpost than a |
| Devlog #8 - Products and brands | 2024-07-10 | Hello again everyone! Every game starts with a concept, which must be expressed with a certain art style. In the modern game dev industry, you can see that even indie studios can produce beautiful games with thoughtful gameplay - look at Hades 2 and Balatro from this year's launches, for example! But still, those games were produced by relatively big teams either creator alone made the game himself, which gave him freedom in fine-tuning his creation. We, on the other hand, are trying to create something in a limited time, with a team that previously worked in different technologies and engine, with limited resources. Great. Fortunately, there |
| Devlog #7 - Door stuck! | 2024-07-08 | Hello gamers! Doors have always been a challenge for game designers. Our first approach to door design took place in Electrician Simulator, our previous project. Players cannot expect what will happen after interacting with doors unlike real life - Will it open outwards or inwards? Outwards would be perfect for every door because it is the easiest scenario. But what if doors are opened inwards of the player? Sometimes it will bump up the player and push him away, or mess up with the camera. Maybe we should play an animation of opening doors? What if the player stays too close for doors when closing them, should we push him, or should doors st |
| Devlog #6 - Tilt me out! | 2024-07-03 | Hello customers! This week I have another batch of stories from the development of our game! https://i.imgur.com/TwlbL4z.gif We have added fireworks! Although we don't have anything to celebrate, fireworks are always fun. Tilting problem. We are implementing more and more stuff, if you follow our devlogs you probably noticed that we have Shopping Carts. These bad boys are the first vehicle that we managed to add to the game and well, those are not perfect. https://i.imgur.com/cIx1ftt.gif A tilted camera like that is not what We wanted! But that was just another day in the office, bugs like that will probably haunt us till release day. The pla |
| Devlog #5 - Exit rules in practise | 2024-06-27 | Hello again, Last week We showed you some mechanics that we created to prepare scenarios inside the shop which player will complete. This time We want to show you those mechanics in-game where we already implemented them into a supermarket level. Let’s dive in! First one are fridges! Customers unfortunately happen to leave refrigerator doors open, which unfortunately costs a bit. Be sure to close all doors before leaving the store. https://streamable.com/mpg4ce In this example VFX got a little bit broken, but quick fix from Piotr and everything is back to normal: https://streamable.com/dvljyy Putting shopping carts in place is much more inter |
| Devlog #4 - Looking at exit rules | 2024-06-24 | Hello customers! Before we begin today’s devlog, there is a quick look at our Main Menu! Of course, it’s still mostly WIP since the scene behind Menus is not ready but we have begun work on this part of the game and wanted to share that. Let’s focus on the job. In our first devlog (you can read it here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2983730/view/4146206839075089789?l=english) we write about our inspiration for the game and ideas for the gameplay. Today we will talk about the first mechanics that are coming into the game and how it all slowly comes together. We want to build our game around scenarios that will take place before the p |
| Devlog #3 - Why Supermarket?! | 2024-06-20 | Hello shoppers! In today's developer log, we want to look at our action site and what inspired us to choose it. Super Duper Mart I must admit, I’ve started researching this devlog by searching for “most famous games supermarkets” in the internet browser BUT even before that I knew that games historically speaking had some pretty epic grocery stores. For me, one from the headline of this paragraph is the most memorable one. Till today I can recall excitement and fear going there at the beginning of my journey in Fallout 3, it was the great early game location that taught you how to act inside interiors, where you look for loot, and how to snea |
| Devlog #2 - Everyone Out, now! | 2024-06-17 | Hello customers, Today we want to give you some glimpse on what was on our minds when coming with design of “Before Exit” and present more upcoming content! Everyone Out, now! As a studio, we are working fully stationary, directly from the office. Our working hours are very flexible, so when it comes to closing the office, there is no permanent person who holds this duty. Our place is always closed by the last person to leave. That forced us to prepare a special procedure of “closing the office”, where the last person has to check if every device is switched off, windows are properly closed, the water dispenser is disconnected from the socket |
| Devlog #1 - Hello… Boss? | 2024-06-12 | Hello… Boss? https://i.imgur.com/TrJa2l8.png Surely you have once visited a supermarket moments before it closes, in need of that one IMPORTANT thing. The employees already practically have to close the cash registers, clean the aisles, and clear the floors, but you still haven't decided whether you prefer strawberry or vanilla yogurt! Their impatient gaze and firm tone are supposed to mobilize you to leave because after all, the last customer does not mean the end of their shift. Have you ever wondered what they do literally BEFORE they leave? This is where our player's story begins. Immediately after the last person leaves the store, at the |
