Steal, Then Just Escape: The Real Thrill

Dear Real Thrillers,

I sincerely apologize for postponing the relaunching of Steal, Then Just Escape: The Real Thrill. Like every person in the world, I make mistakes and fail, then learn from them. Failure is a requirement for growth. The ReLaunch in February is postponed due to:

Lack of time; I’m only 15 years old, and I still go to school. Not every day I can develop the game. I am an indie game developer using a complicated engine. It would take me time to create this masterpiece. You might not know, but I’m also creating a film.

Another is lack of experience. I’m still learning to develop a game, the engine, artworks, and marketing. Like this failure, I didn’t decide enough, and I got carried away by my emotions that I could do this by February, but no.

Lastly, there is a lack of budget. I can’t buy such detailed assets. That is why it would take me time to create each asset. Help me to develop. You can purchase the game, so I could invest more in assets to make the game better, and sharing your ideas for a thrilling game would help the most.

Expect none but Real Thrill. With enough time, experience, and budget, I’ll let you Experience the Real Thrill of Steal, Then Just Escape.

Thank you for your understanding. I will not delete the previous trailers for it would ReMind me of my mistakes and I’ll keep learning from them. Keep updated for the Real Thrill Official Trailer.

Your Indie Developer,

Rav Martin Maniti.

ReLaunch is PostPoned.

Dear Real Thrillers,

Steal, Then Just Escape: The Real Thrill has ReTurn to Coming Soon! After postponing the ReLaunch in February. I would like you to know that the game will be back on Coming Soon! Stage. You can’t currently play it on Steam or Epic Games Store, but you can still buy it. Opening the game, you would just see a UI saying, Coming Soon! And a suggestion box and please share your game ideas. Now, this is Real Thrill, escaping for a few months. But I shall ReLaunch.

Yours !RTS CEO,

I bought myself a computer to play GTA V. After finishing the Story Mode, I moved on to GTA Online, but I kept dying. Looking for something different, I installed FiveM to try GTA Roleplay. However, I quickly got bored, so I started browsing games on Epic Games and Steam, but nothing really matched my preferred genre. That’s when I decided to create my own game.

I tried Unity but I didn’t like the graphics. So, I switched to Unreal Engine. At first, I was just exploring and playing around with the engine rather than creating a game. By June 2023, I started planning a game that would mix adventure, action, horror, thriller, and survival genres. By October 2023, my game was complete, and I couldn’t stop playing it day and night.

When school resumed, I wanted to share my game with my friends, and that’s when I discovered I could publish it on Epic Games myself. I planned to release it on my birthday, October 30, but the review process from Epic delayed the release. Finally, on November 19, 2023, my first game was officially published. I titled it Steal, Then Just Escape. I made a movie about it Steal, Then Just Escape: The Movie, you can watch it on YouTube.

I am Rav Martin G. Maniti from the Philippines, and this is the story of how I developed and published my very first game.
