I guess it’s about time I give my one day update. I think I might be the only person to be doing a first person horror game (as far as I know from browsing posts from time to time, please don’t virtually scrutinize me if you are). I’m more of an artist than programmer, so I figured I’d let my creativeness flow into a horror game. I’m not too focused on graphical realism as I am making the horror feel real. In other words, Its not gonna be a “jump scare” fest \":-)\"<\/p>\n

I use psychological elements to make the player go “Did I just see a shadow?” or “I swear someone’s following me” \u00a0. Not just “where did that horribly designed monsters just come from to pop out at my face…..”.<\/p>\n

I’ve got the plot line for the game layed out, and although it’s pretty short, I’ve got some nice horror elements displayed in a short amount of time. I’ve got most of the level designed, as well as the main enemy designed. The game takes place in an abandoned mine shaft\/ bunker, so the enemy is a deranged miner who uses a drill and a pick axe. I’ve got the player in the game to the point where he can walk around, open and close doors, and end the game. I haven’t done anything with the enemy yet, so currently Im coding the enemy and doing his animations simultaneously.<\/p>\n

I might not have much time for it. but I’m trying to deploy an Outlast style dynamic enemy system, where the enemy does not operate on a fixed path. After I finish the enemy programming, I have to work on the lighting and the sound design, which I want to be the main focus of the game. Good Luck to everyone in the last 24 hours of the comp and the last 48 of the jam!!!<\/p>\n

Here’s a screenshot of the game so far:\u00a0\"RenderTest1\"<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2014 7:28 pm","title":"Where I\u2019m at Around the 1 Day Mark\u2026"}
