The Next Test [Indie Game]

here's some important links involving tnt! DISCORD: discord.gg/t56StF7hC4 (please join it so we can make the TNT tag real. at 20 new members we will reveal something BIG if demo 2 isnt out yet!) DEMO 1/FIRST LOOK DEMO: itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo ME: itsbazs112.itch.io #promosky #thenexttestgame

W-what? A visual update? to the visually unfinished area? It's more likely than you think. #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker

play belmonts curse - someone who will NOT play belmonts curse you know what you SHOULD play thoug-

new handle

TNT Demo 2 ProgressUpdate: - level design for |AREA 2| and |AREA 2-SUBAREA| is done! - the fight against |AREA 2-EXECUTIVE| is mostly done barring minor polish and sprites - all but one |AREA 2| cutscene is finished BARRING DIALOGUE; the yuri motivates me #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker

yo what's up (sprites by me, itsbazs112) #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

dual override looking fire, can't wait to fight twink in game ok fine i'll get back to developing video game i guess

New for Demo 2 are customizable pause screen colors! (And if we can receive enough traction for this kind of stuff, there might be something more!) (AKA play the demo and harass/assault your friends about it until they do too) Programmed by ItsBaZs, of course. #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker #game

(Well, there is an Executive here.) (He offered you something.) (You got 80 Souls.) #indiegame #deltarune #shamelesspromotion #playthenexttest #gamedev

Development is likely to slowdown in the next few months as the school year resumes for basically the whole team. Until then, why don't you go join the Next Test Discord server? please it's lonely in here I have no cool image to send here that isn't spoilers sorry

Dropping a progress update. AI-wise, ALL BOSSES ARE IMPLEMENTED! The 2nd area has been being developed by me, and it's around 2/3 finished with dialogue for cutscenes and a few more rooms yet to be added. 3rd area is not started yet. Next progress log will happen once area 2 is final. #thenexttest

guess what's back (sprites by ItsBaZs, just like before) #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

guh what's this (TNT DEMO 2 STUFF!!!!!!) wow i havent gone on here in a hot minute #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

I'm happy to announce that the changes we have teased are officially fully implemented; Focus will shift toward new content now. PS: Demo 2 will feature 3 NEW BOSSES, 2 of which are fully programmed AI wise, the other is around halfway finished. Stay Tuned, Folks. #indiedev #gamedev

A graphical taste of what will change. What do you think? (Developers note: This took SO LONG to make AND have look somewhat okay holy shit) All featured sprites by ItsBaZs #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

introducing SOULS, obtained from the gruesome deaths of the opposition. Why do you need them? Don't ask me, find out yourself when Demo 2 drops. Also showing off some level design reworks for the existing area (ALL SPRITES PLACEHOLDER) #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

sneaky sneaky of an upcoming feature that WILL be in the next demo; it likely wont be very useful in the demo due to its placement but it likely WILL be pretty neat as you play thru the full game

cooked up the most horrendous logo in the history of the craft, yall better cope with this for now until demo 2 also we're doing some major graphical and level design updates to the stuff you've already seen! so stay tuned for that in demo 2 ig #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

Hey guys, first of all I fixed my computer! Cool i guess 2nd, we're renaming the game from Biohazard: The Next Test to just The Next Test because who knows what they will do to us Logos will change but not right now because WOHOO FINALS #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

development will be slow for an unknown amount of time due to: - my pc broke meaning i cant program - everyone on the devteam conveniently has finals at around the same time thanks for putting this to mind and i hope to reveal new content asap :) #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

ok i really hope this is it for bh demo, from here on ALL DEVELOPMENT WILL FOCUS ON DEMO 2 (which covers the game up till ~the halfway point) after demo 2 releases, there will be no more demos and development will focus on releasing stay tuned :) #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

broskis he fucked up again. what does this mean for the economy? anyways such a benevolent fuckupery gives you another chance to promote the game :) itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

what pisses me off the most about programming becoming so LLM-centric is that i just really fucking love programming as a creative process and having a machine do it all sucks every last drop of joy out of it for me

made a VERY TINY LAST MINUTE patch that fixes a collision bug. with that said, bhtnt demo 1 is likely NOT gonna get any more patches. sorry. (if youre reading this far spread the word of the game it would mean a lot :) ) itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

my lazy ass keeps forgetting to say it, but until further bugs are discovered, DEMO 1 SHOULD BE FINISHED PATCHING teasers of later development will be periodically posted here and on the discord server so join if you havent done so already and wanna see more

bazs continues to prove himself as the #1 fuckup in the history of gamedev. new patch out now to fix his evil deeds itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

fixed a fatal issue. bazs (me) fucked up largely in the previous build because he forgot to actually playtest because he was coding at 12 instead of having an ordinary good night's sleep. sorry for the inconvenience. itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo 4/24 Hotfix of the BH Demo is now out! Featuring an all new Compendium of tutorials that grows as you play the game (currently only 3), and an improved control configuration. #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

itsbazs112.itch.io/bhdemo Biohazard: The Next Test DEMO 1 has reached v4/21 Hotfix. Includes various quality of life fixes to make your life better, maybe. If one has feedback, tell us Here, the itch.io, or the Discord Server, now Linked. #indiedev #gamedev #game #demo #gamemaker #othertags

Don't forget to Next Test your Biohazard. The teaser that solely exists to inform YouTube about the existence of this new upcoming game has been uploaded. #gamedev #bhgame #gamemaker #indiegame #economy Watch Now on the Rigged Video Site. youtu.be/pLbhWVGoKws

Biohazard Update. with the grand exception of the intro sequence we'll use for the demo (and solely the demo), and the music/sfx, i'm happy to say that the biohazard demo is FINISHED WOHOO a video teasing the release will drop at some point. #gamedev #bhgame #gamemaker #indiegame #economy

Fisheye, Hazard, Fork, and more will return in Avengers: Doomsday. #bhtnt #meme art by @memebackmaker.bsky.social

what the big corporations dont tell you is that love is actually a mass produced form of heroin that makes you write cryptic status messages about the production value of john wick: chapter 4 (this has nothing to do with the game i just wanted to send something here lmao)

Apparently this game has a mandatory tutorial pop-up now. I feel sad for whoever is required to see such a monstrosity. #indiedev #gamedev #biohazardthenexttest #gamemaker A Progress Update will release In Some Time. (barring we Remember To) engagement bait question: how FIRE was my debug noclip?

9 out of 10 reddit mods recommend this game #indiedev #gamemaker #gamedev (jokes aside i just find it really funny that you can publish your games for embedding on reddit now that's really cool and goofy and weird) an actual post will release later in time

We've implemented Discord Rich Presence into Biohazard: The Next Test. What does this mean? Don't ask me, I'm just the person BaZs captured to write this post. G-go look it up or something. #discordrpc #gamedev #indiedev #coolnewgame #imrunningoutoftagideaspleasehelpme #ohwaitheresone #economy

hello to the viewers at home (DEVLOG MAYBE SOON IT REALLY DEPENDS) stay tunneeeeeeeddddddddd!!!!1111!!

i just realized in order to be hip and cool and whatever the kids are saying now and get traction you #need #to #put #tags #in #your #post #even #if #it #barely #is #necessary #am #i #right #viewers

we recieved a bit of feedback on the game layout and stuff so we are working on rectifying these issues, namely we plan on adding a few more rooms and the like and make the game far more explorable than it currently is at this moment hopefully bh demo will have been possibly worth the wait

itch.io/blog/1109053... finally made an itch post

gloprr - the main character from biohazard

by the way, the heat death of the universe is in 10 days so pack your bags and stuff

status update: - im arting so hard right now - steg has also done quite some good stuff too - pretty much all character sprites are done except for a couple anims in the bossfight and some coloring changes (plus a few misc anims for hazard) This message is brought to you by 3 normal people.

biohazard update: - every cutscene is pretty much finished - the almighty stegosaurus of @megamandosremake.bsky.social has been working hard on a much needed graphical update to the game - music isn't done yet but it's happening this image has a lot of placeholder sprites

we're adding more

i know you're all waiting for it so i have ASSEMBLED a VERY BASIC summary of the LORE read if you DARE

PRETTY MUCH, all that's REALLY left for the demo is: - polishing - sound effects + music - a couple of animations that are already accounted for in game but not sprited im honestly suprised the game has reached the point that it might be public by the end of the year im so happy for my creation :)
