Release Date:
16th December 2010

Submachine 7: The Core is the seventh game in the Submachine Series. It was named at the end of Submachine 6: The Edge. It was released on Thursday December 16th, 2010.

In Submachine Network Exploration Experience the name was further confirmed. It also told what will happen to at least one location in the future, if nothing is done. The game was described as slowly 'floating from another dimension of the mind'.

Plot

“Well what is our purpose of going to the core.”
“we follow murtaugh”
— Gemini and Mateusz Skutnik on Pastel Forum


The game is in The Sanctuary but big machines have been built up and the great wall to the left has been destroyed. ThePlayer soon sees a portal gateway to the Winter Palace, which was built by SirHenry o'Toole, the maker of The Lighthouse. The garden of the palace strangely resembles the structure of the Subnet.

The player gets his first chance to use a Karma Portal, (We don't mean karma as in it will come back to you) however a note by Liz says that they shatter the fabric of the Subnet.

After using an escape pod to find the lab of Liz, the player finds out that she has been attacked byMurtaugh and fled. The only way to go now is via a big Karma Portal (that is green unlike the others which were blue) which leads to an unknown part of the Subnet (Sub8 The Plan). In one of her notes Liz said that another portal would rip apart the subnet, so who knows what will happen now that the green portal was used.

Development

First screenshots

“OO What does it emiss?”
“deathrays? beats me.”
— Kian Mayne and Mateusz Skutnik, on Facebook


The following are screenshots of Submachine 7 machinery. The author stated he greyed out the background because it would be too "revealing". Also he said that the surroundings won't be like the Submachine 6 rooms.

They were posted in Mateusz Skutnik's Facebook account on the third and fourth of November 2010. Mateusz stated that the machinery of the first picture "shines left" and that the switches are "not relevant".

The third picture was added on November 27th. Mateusz did not give any hints to what it may be other than saying he had drawn it that same day and decided to share it with everyone. In Pastel Forum the picture was thought to be poorly shaded, and many saw something in the black background.

The fourth picture was added on December 4th. Mateusz said it may be an emission type machine of some sort via his Facebook. No other hints were given. In Pastel Forum the piece of machinery was quickly joked to be a cooking device for the Subnet, in fact Mateusz himself joked it to contain popcorn. Also, he stated that he would not release any more pictures due to the cooking device joke. However, this was only kept for 7 days.

The fifth picture was added on December 11th. It's the first full length screenshot of Submachine 7. According to Mateusz Skutnik on Facebook,"the time is nearing" which could mean that the release of Submachine 7 was very close.

The sixth picture was added on December 14th. It's the second full length screenshot of Submachine 7. Again Mateusz Skutnik stated that release is near with "the best is approaching"

The seventh picture was added December 15th. The caption written by Mateusz has been assumed to mean that the release is December 16th. The image is from the title screen of Submachine 7. It may be an item or object we use throughout the game.

The story grows out

On first of December 2010 Mateusz Skutnik announced that a mere fifty rooms would not be enough for this game, as he had promised himself and the fan base on earlier occasions.

When questioned he stated that he hasn't changed the old room limit, but the story just grew bigger than that. He has also stated that all of his plot ideas for the game can't possibly fit in and hinted that some of them will end up in Submachine 8 and Submachine Network Exploration Experience.
