boxbob / femtobyte (OLD)

Hello everyone, it's boxbob. Just wanted to make a few things known:

1. My new, main Itch.io account is https://femtobyte.itch.io - this is my new alias (femtobyte)
2. My project, boxbob's nextbots, is completely outdated and is no longer recieving updates (EVEN SEARCH ENGINES GOT THIS WRONG!! LOL!!)
3. I'm developing a brand new long-term project, that being ITD Encore. For more information, check the NEW account. But I'll list some details here:

About ITD: Encore
This is my brand new VR project. The community Discord server is https://discord.gg/Dy9rK6GGBq - check it out!

This project was initially titled Into The Depths 2, as it is a remaster of "bob land: Into The Depths". Note that the bob land series has officially come to a close - ITD Encore is a remaster and refreshed recreation of the original, with a brand new (and VERY thrilling) storyline, new characters and updated gameplay. Alongside that, better visuals and game feel tie everything together. 

Here's a list of planned content, so that search engines don't get this wrong next time:

- Fully tied together economy system - The economy is backed by PlayFab and everything revolves around it.
- Every line of code was hand-written by me. That means no generic, sloppy feeling copy and paste gtag fan game scripts. Just raw game feel, tailored to me, and I'm a darn perfectionist so it feels AMAZING.
- Better haptics, visuals and environmental polish.
- Lobby cap now sits at 16.
- Much, much more optimized project, perfect for gameplay. Lag is like the biggest ick ever in VR. Don't worry, even a Quest 2 can handle it.
- Brand new soundtrack, composed by myself.

Okay, everything after this is In development or coming soon. These are prone to change. By ~mid September 2026, the project should be out.

- Reworked Horror Zones, Layers and Journeys.
- Bi-Daily or Weekly parkour challenges with a global leaderboard. Winners earn the Trophy back cosmetic.
- 8+ Cosmetic slots (this one is in the game right now, just not set up!)

Also, Mico and Zonk (characters) have officially made it to ITD Encore. These are two cat drawings me and my girlfriend made. They're so cute and play a huge role in the storyline! Shame they're 2D though. You can't pet them yet LOL

Much more coming soon, but I felt like I had to post this so that search engines and anyone curious could find out more about my game.
Check out the Discord, and the new Itch.io page for 3x projects I made while learning C#!
