Hi all- Interior Worlds' newest and biggest post-release update is now live with version 1.1.0! This is a major content update, with lots of new little things going on. You can expect these in version 1.1.0:

• Massive new forest level with a fair share of unique areas and secrets.
• 23 hidden photo filters you can use to give photos a whole new look.
• 10 hidden tape objects to collect that lead to an interesting unlockable.
• 8 brand new achievements to go with both the new content, and some of the previous.
• A small photo thumbnail to help preview your snapshots as you take them!
• More menu options and settings; volume sliders, visual toggles, sprint toggle, etc.
• New little easter eggs and subtle spooks to give you
• Slight performance boosts all around (hoping this is the case- the lowest spec gpu had to test on was a 1080 and I didn't have much of an impact).

Also keep in mind that at this time I've opted to make this a staggered update, starting with a Windows release, followed by Mac + Linux builds in another near future patch. Apologies for any inconveniences! Thank you so much for checking out the update and continuing to support me as a developer. I hope you enjoy the new content and as always, ping me of any technical or game-breaking bugs you encounter or leave a post on the discussion board. Thanks! -sodaraptor https://store.steampowered.com/app/2207970/Interior_Worlds/

Hey all- Been awhile! Wanted to give everyone the heads up that Interior Worlds is getting a huge content update, containing all sorts of new goodies, and it's nearly ready to go. Things you can look forward to in the update are:

• A brand new level: a huge and detailed abandoned forest set during a distant thunderstorm. Expect sprawling paths, various unique areas, and plenty of new secrets to uncover.
• Photo filter overlays: a new way to capture any photo you take. Every filter applies a unique effect through the camera viewfinder and will bake into the final photo. You'll have to find all 22 throughout the game's levels first though!
• Hidden collectibles: each main level will contain a new, hidden collectible that unlocks a very interesting effect while playing the game!
• 8 new Steam Achievements.
• Photo preview mode: you'll now have the option to have your most recent photo display in a small thumbnail each time on screen instead of going into your album everytime.
• Additional options: you'll now have toggles for both the game's film grain and retro effect, as well as disabling the photo preview thumbnail if you desire.
• New individual volume sliders to control different types of audio.
• Performance boosts to previously hardware intensive levels.
• A few new easter egg secrets...

That's all for now. Check out the release teaser below! See you next weekend. [previewyoutube=ALZSYeHwc2Y;full][/previewyoutube]

Hi all- Pushed an update to the Linux version that hopefully fixes the issue of not being able to launch the game natively. The fix involved reconfiguring how Unity handles the libsteam_api.so plugin for the Linux platform on Steam. It didn't look like the plugin folder was being created when downloading the game, so it crashed when looking for data that didn't exist. If any Linux users are still encountering a segfault or any similar crash-related errors when launching natively, let me know and I will continue to investigate. Thanks, sodaraptor

Hi all- So Interior Worlds has been out for well over a month now, and while I'm still in the middle of working on polishing certain aspects of the game, I'm beginning to think on what new additions I'd like to save for a future update. It's not much, but as of now this is what I have brewing for that update:

• Briefly showing a small thumbnail of a photo in the corner after taking one (so you don't have to always check the photo album after every shot).
• Adding a small selection of different camera filters to cycle through before taking a photo (sepia, b/w, red, green, blue, etc.).
• Additional option menu items (individual sliders for master/sfx/ambience volumes, grain filter toggle, etc.).
• Shortcut key to directly open the in-game photo album.
• A new, full level (or two).
• More dynamic (but still subtle) spooks~

Out of my current list of ideas, I think these are the most doable. If you have any other (realistic) suggestions for future additions, whether it be related to accessibility, level content, or things that need more polish, feel free to drop a comment here or on the discussion board. There's no specific date for this release, but I'll be working on it a lot over the next month.

If you'd like to be more involved in the development of future content, consider joining the Interior Worlds Discord server!

Thanks again to everyone who's played and reviewed Interior Worlds. Some big things are in store for Interior Worlds coming up, so keep your eyes peeled~ P.S. I still have that update with a fix to the native linux version of the game planned, so sit tight. Sorry it's taking so long. Thanks, sodaraptor steamthis

Hi all- I've updated the release version of Interior Worlds to 0.3.0, which includes the following:

• Added builds for both Mac and Linux platforms.***
• Cleaned up as many geometry seams and holes as I could find.
• Corrected any glitched/breakable "anomalous sightings".
• Added many more decal textures in each level.
• Added animation when hovering/selecting thumbnails on the level select and album screens.
• Added more detailed radar map in the hidden minigame.
• The barrels in the hidden minigame now properly EXPLODE!
• Added individual breakdowns of secrets needed/found when hovering over level thumbnails.
• Added retroactive unlocking of "Conspiracy Report" if you already found all 25 secrets.
• Added a couple more hidden "anomalous sightings".
• Fixed an issue that allowed you to unlock the airport alleyway gate with the silver key.
• Moved the arcade gate button to the inside of the PC Repair store.

That's about it for now. I ran into a major issue with a few built-in Unity packages becoming corrupted needed for Mac/Linux building, so I lost a lot of progress and time spent on thoroughly testing this update. Fingers crossed nothing bad happens, but if it does, please reach out on the discussion board or the discord. *** For Mac and Linux versions: please be aware that I had very, very minimal testing with these platforms, so bugs may be present. If these versions are unplayable, please let me know and I will do what I can to try and fix it.

Hi all- First off, my unending thanks to everyone who's played, enjoyed, and reviewed Interior Worlds so far, as well as those who've joined the discord server. It all means so much to me, and really keeps my inspiration train going for more updates, more content, and more future games. Anyways- an update is planned for this Saturday, 4/15, which will contain the following:

• Official builds for Mac and Linux.
• Bug fixes, including those involving sequence breaking, going out of bounds, and achievements not triggering (missed achievements, such as finding all the secrets, will be retroactively rewarded once you go back into the Main Menu).
• General polish to areas left otherwise uninteresting.
• Fixes to any broken "anomalous sightings" throughout the game.
• Fixes/polish to the hidden "minigame".

Keep an eye out for the update this weekend. Thanks, sodaraptor

Hey all- It's finally done and out! After what started out as a small month-long project, Interior Worlds has blossomed into something I'm very proud of and excited for you to experience. With a lot of help from @normalhumansixx, I was able to create a game about a subject I've been interested in for years now. Liminal spaces. Using the unique SLR camera mechanic, you can create YOUR OWN photos in this aesthetic- crustified, timestamped, and drenched in that moody liminal atmosphere we've all come to love- right out of the box.
Also- in order for me to test properly, there will be an upcoming patch out by next week which will include builds for both MAC and LINUX.

So grab the game, leave a review, and share your photos with the world!

Hey all- The official Steam release for Interior Worlds is upon us, and just like I did with Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams, I'm starting up another round of fan art submissions! A quick breakdown:

• Your submission can be anything 2D, such as a photograph or illustration.
• It will be displayed as a painting in a hidden level, dedicated to showcasing art.
• Each artwork will be accompanied by a readable text box with a title and description.
• Submit through Twitter or Discord by March 29th!

Looking forward to seeing what you submit!

Empty hallways. Dark corners. Barren streets. The allure of a LIMINAL SPACE.

Grab your camera and head out into the unknown, yet oddly recognizable territories of INTERIOR WORLDS. A first-person exploration game where you're tasked with traversing and photographing various spaces that evoke that strange feeling of... familiarity.

• For this February's Steam Nextfest demo, you'll have access to the first world: a large, vacant parking deck that seems deserted...
• Capture all the hidden photo ops scattered throughout the demo level, all while soaking in a rich and unsettling atmosphere.
• Review up to 30 of your recorded photos from the main menu's album screen, with a higher capacity being available in the full version.

If you enjoyed the demo, be sure to WISHLIST for the official release this March. In the full version, look forward to:

• 9 full environments and 1 hidden level to explore.
• Up to 300 album slots to save your captured photos.
• Unsettling and deeply ambient soundscape, unique to each level.
• Achievements.

Check it out and wishlist for release at the end of this month! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2207970/Interior_Worlds/
