I don't mean to be difficult but it's been 18 days since your last update when you said you were almost ready to release and close to have a year since the last actual update. I think we'd all really appreciate a realistic estimation of time until release. Thank you,
You guys need to calm down. Just go do something else. Check back here once a month, and if there's no update? Just go back to what you were doing. This is an indie giantess game made for fun. There's no reason it should feel so important to anyone that you feel the need to badger the creator every 5 days for news.
They’re only asking for the status of the game so far and an estimation to when the game will be released. They’re not breaking down his door it’s only because everybody hates being left in the dark with nothing being said.
Secondly everyone has the right to come to this site when they please. If your so bothered by it just ignore people’s comments they have the right to their opinion just as much as you are.
Thirdly this is an early alpha sci-fi/ fantasy game not indie.
Linux and Mac are not so similar as one could think.
Though, as far as I see, the author has compiled a MAC version so it shouldn't be too hard to make it work for you.
On Linux I had to use the Windows version but it works almost out of the box if you have a decent GFX card and WineHQ 4.5 (testing release) installed on your system.
I really hope that the HD version has the male giants still in it. it's great that you included them with the last couple of updates to the game and we need more games with giant males in them. looking forward to the release if you keep them in :)
Hi everyone! All is done for the next update, the last thing is still the sounds that a friend of mine is doing. Sadly she got sick so we have to wait a little. When I get the sounds it is release time. I dont want to release a game without sounds.
No problem, happy to wait for the sound as it's a big part of it for me to have the booming footsteps! Hope your friend gets better. Looking forward to the update when it's done :)
Man it's ok… I mean I am also very happy to know he is working on the game, but trust me Zsanzubar knows what he is doing, so if he think he needs a bit more time, let him the time!
Giving you a little sitrep, the game is almost ready for a release. The only thing left now is the sound. I am getting some help with the sound files so when they are done I can launch the first new update on Flattened HD.
Anyone still have a downloaded file of any version that had the highway level on the bridge never got a chance to play it and it looks awesome . Would really appreciate it if someone could upload a link to anonfiles or mediafire. Thanks
Just so you know, this is really poor manners. Mac and Linux are tiny platforms. No one makes things for them because it's pointless work for a worthless platform which makes up nothing of the user base. If you don't want to get a real computer, please, PLEASE stop your begging requests for someone to put in a ton of work for just you. Dual boot. Whatever. Grow up. No one is going to waste a second making their niche product compatible with inferior operating systems.
I think I must get an apple computor first. You really need an apple computor to develop for apple. So right now it is not possible for me to make an apple version. I am sorry.
I have taken note of your suggestions. The resolution problem you mention is a real problem that I have to look into. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. In the future there will be costumization for the giants.
A big update is coming up. I think I can release it soon, the update contains city size destruction so a lot of work is going into making it optimized for normal computors. Hopefully out soon.
Hi! I am glad that there is so much interest in my little game. I am also sorry for the time it takes to create. There will be a massive update hopefully out pretty soon. The main part being the ability to play as a giantess. I am working on it so dont worry, it is not abandoned or anything like that. I just want to make it fun and not too rushed, here is a little pic from the game, she kind of drops a tiny person to her doom. ( In full screen you can see it, too bad tiny people are tiny)
It is possible but with some limitations. A giant can be so big that it is outside the draw distance making only the legs visible. There is ways around this but then the problem is framerate. So yes it is possible in some scenarios. Depends on what kind of scene it is in.
I'm a fan of the super huge one that breaks the bridge during the old highway level. She served as a little scripted cutscene element and only existed for a small amount of time so she wasn't super taxing on the game.
your game is amazin how is the next to update and please contac me to date of update you can add store in the game when you play recieve coins and whit coins buys gigantess?
Hi! Giving a timeline is very hard to do since this is just a spare time project for me after work and studies. But what I am working on now is: 1. A level with sort of first contact with the alien levels where they invade your city and you and a friend must escape on the highway.
2. Being able to controll the giantess and make the world your sandbox. But with a twist to add gameplay elements. Spent a few hours today creating a controller with camera for the giant. Lots of lines of codes has been written.
3. Changing all humans into more detailed models and adding lots of animations to make it look better as well as general improvements.
4. Creating a city with all destroyable buildings and environment that is not going to kill framerate. This is a lot of work having to create this from scratch.
When this is done I can not tell because I dont want to make promises I cant hold. I can make an update right now but I want it to be significantly different then the last one. So in a few weeks you can expect a major update to Flattened.
It is really nice to know that people enjoy Flattened. Thank you for all support! :)
The reason I'm supporting is because you are one of the last developers left that still develop these kinds of games and I dont want you to disappear too. I don't think any of us do
Wow , that is an amazing amount of work! Thank you for all that you do, this definitely is support-worthy~ And indeed, I also would hate to see you go!
Hi! I think I can have an update out pretty soon. The update contains a new level, some fixes with the fog and so on. This is a pic from the new level. Also working on you playing as the giant but that will be a little ways in the future.

I hope you're doing well zsansubar
So... it's been a month. We'd all really appreciate some kind of update, even if it's just to know you're still alive and doing okay.
I don't mean to be difficult but it's been 18 days since your last update when you said you were almost ready to release and close to have a year since the last actual update. I think we'd all really appreciate a realistic estimation of time until release.

Indie is not a genre, it means the game is not funded by a publisher but self-financed by the developers themselves, usually several people at max.
Hello, I've seen the gameplay on youtube and I was wondering how much would you charge to compile the Linux version. :D
PS: Great Job!
can you take me through the steps to make it work for Mac?
hi~Do you still have the previous version of this game, I want to experience the previous version but I can't find a place to download it XwX
so how's it going
I really hope that the HD version has the male giants still in it. it's great that you included them with the last couple of updates to the game and we need more games with giant males in them. looking forward to the release if you keep them in :)
I’m good to wait for the finished product. No sense in ruining a good thing because of impatience.
Valid Point 👍
Honestly, I agree. I never played the original with sound to begin with....
Hey man, any estimate of when we'll be ready for the next update? There's a lot of us waiting patiently and checking in daily...
Scenario idea here:
Aeroplane Escape
You are a pilot. Originally you are on the plan to escape through the aeroplane with a huge group of people.
However, a mega giantess rises from the far city as you see from the plane.
The giantess is targeing your aeroplane.
You know what to do. Escape!
I don't know how that makes sense or would be fun.
just sounds like a rip off version of the highway level
So excited. The inclusion of new sound (dialogue?) is great.
Hi everyone! All is done for the next update, the last thing is still the sounds that a friend of mine is doing. Sadly she got sick so we have to wait a little. When I get the sounds it is release time. I dont want to release a game without sounds.
Great to hear. Yeah the game would be less fun without the sound so it will be worth the wait. Looking forward to it. Hope your friend gets well soon.
awesome! Looking forward to it!
Thanks for at least tell us all what is happening with the update :)
It's better to hear what is going on rather than not hearing from you at all
Pardon the pun please I'm cringing over it
If its possible to say, what's the eta looking like for the sound?
No problem, happy to wait for the sound as it's a big part of it for me to have the booming footsteps! Hope your friend gets better. Looking forward to the update when it's done :)
What engine are you working with?
Are you interested in collaboration?
Maybe we can chat on a discord server?
Played by Kizuna Ai-chan!
Waiting time: ∞
Queues waiting for this update: ∞
when is the next update coming?
Man it's ok… I mean I am also very happy to know he is working on the game, but trust me Zsanzubar knows what he is doing, so if he think he needs a bit more time, let him the time!
Remind yourself he works on his free time…
it's only a question x
Super excited for the next update. Thanks zsansubar! Hope nudity was possible / easy if so :)
any ideas when the update gets released
We don't know, but probably soon. I'm excited.
same here
Giving you a little sitrep, the game is almost ready for a release. The only thing left now is the sound. I am getting some help with the sound files so when they are done I can launch the first new update on Flattened HD.
So can we expect an update tonight? (Sunday)
I don’t even know, but I think he’ll keeep the promise. If he delayed I am also expecting to get the update as late as tomorrow something.
Yeah same.
When do you think the update will be ready?
Cool :)
On sunday xx.xx.20xx at xx:xx.
lol
So when do you expect to have the next update, sir?
It’s... already 4 monthes.
On sunday I´m hoping. Looks like it :)
omg can't wait!
Could we possibly have the giants being vocal during the game and mock the player if we get flattened
But make this optional for anyone one doesn't like the sound of the giant
Anyone still have a downloaded file of any version that had the highway level on the bridge never got a chance to play it and it looks awesome . Would really appreciate it if someone could upload a link to anonfiles or mediafire. Thanks
Is there going to be a download for Mac anytime soon?
Just so you know, this is really poor manners. Mac and Linux are tiny platforms.

I think I must get an apple computor first. You really need an apple computor to develop for apple. So right now it is not possible for me to make an apple version. I am sorry.
I have some ideas that might be helpful.
Be able to turn the shaking off entirely
Have a map on the bottom corner of the screen and have the giant be a red dot on said map so they can't sneak up on you
make it so that people playing on a lower resolution can actually start the game because the start button is nowhere to be seen.
maybe be able to make a custom giant
make Amanda's eyes not glow in the dark, it's spooky D:
I disagree with all of that.
Why? whats so bad about playing on a lower resolution? the new game button won't appear if it's any lower than 800x600.
I have taken note of your suggestions. The resolution problem you mention is a real problem that I have to look into. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. In the future there will be costumization for the giants.
Thanks for humoring me
Any update on this game?
A big update is coming up. I think I can release it soon, the update contains city size destruction so a lot of work is going into making it optimized for normal computors. Hopefully out soon.
nice man! But take your time, we are all sure you are doing super work!!
No need to rush it, take as much time as you need with the updates, that being said i'm looking forward to the next one you're doing great work =]
Glad to hear you're still cracking on with this. Damn good job thus far! Keep it up :)
Happy to have thrown money at you in the past ;)
Does anyone else have difficulty playing the evac level. It's just playing frame by frame and not running smoothly as the others.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's just my laptop thats causing it and I don't know how to make it run better.
how do you be the giantess
That update is not out yet.
thank you
I wish later we will have a chapter about human striking back?
That we can have bazookas and shrink guns?
how do you play as the giantess?
A freakin’ bad idea:
If you have a level that you can walk on a giant’s body.
is it possible to get all previous maps only got the evac one
Well the old levels are gone but I can still rebuild them. The next massive update features a playable giantess. Still some work left on it though.
Great looking forward to it and seeing what it would be like
can you add a feature where you can get stuck to the bottom of the foot with no blood?
Amazing work! Love the giant guys and I'm excited for the next update!
is the update out yet?
no
No updates since last year.
lol, patience my friend

Can you PLEASE send me a picture of the furry giantess?
Is that possible to have even huger giants, or, mega class giants?
It is possible but with some limitations. A giant can be so big that it is outside the draw distance making only the legs visible. There is ways around this but then the problem is framerate. So yes it is possible in some scenarios. Depends on what kind of scene it is in.

Yes that kind of huge is not a problem, I thought we talked about even larger :D Like when her foot is larger then the city or something.
your game is amazin how is the next to update and please contac me to date of update you can add store in the game when you play recieve coins and whit coins buys gigantess?
Could you perhaps give us a timeline for the game?
Hi! Giving a timeline is very hard to do since this is just a spare time project for me after work and studies. But what I am working on now is:

The reason I'm supporting is because you are one of the last developers left that still develop these kinds of games and I dont want you to disappear too. I don't think any of us do
This is great stuff. I continue to support you towards these goals.
Wow , that is an amazing amount of work! Thank you for all that you do, this definitely is support-worthy~ And indeed, I also would hate to see you go!
Besides on the land armies are at the front... What about navies???
How about a combat scenario?
I think there are some Bioloks cultists which they are human instead of giants... They are considered ‘traitors’ of human race.
I second the navy idea. A level on a boat or naval aircraft carrier floating out on the sea as a giant rises from the sea would be a good scenario.
Thanks @dannyboi7
Another screnario idea:
The Leviathan
Somehow Bioloks has developed new giants that can breath underwater.
And three of them are approaching towards the underwater fortress Leviathan that hides the secret weapon.
Fight them before it’s too late.
Thanks for all suggestions! I like the idea with the navy, It is on the list now :D
Well well well, amazing.
However I hope some old levels such as Highway Bridge and Desert Lab plus the Rally Race return to the game.
As well as I hope to have a vaiety of giantess/giants.
I do mean a wider variety.
Thanks! Those levels will probably return in a different form and yes more giants is coming up as well :)
Hey! How's progress going on the next update? Will it be released soon and what are the new features you are adding? :)
Hi! I think I can have an update out pretty soon. The update contains a new level, some fixes with the fog and so on. This is a pic from the new level. Also working on you playing as the giant but that will be a little ways in the future.
Looks amazing!
