Greetings
I’d like
to use this post to show you guys a Horror game me and my pal have been working
on. We call it project: TIES! (as in “family ties”… not “neck ties”)
We
always liked the horror genre, speacilly the Silent Hill releases of old, which
were able to create really dense and disturbing environments. There have been
lots of horror games lately, however we rarely find a game that actually makes
you think about what’s going on and make you invested (dinosaurs zombies aren’t
that scary)
With
that in mind, we drafted some ideas and started to make some prototypes. In the
end, we thought it would be cool if we mixed horror stuff, some platform
elements, puzzles and a lot of exploration - kind of an unusual combination.
We are
trying to create the same creepiness as mentioned before. A mysterious world
where loneliness rules… But we can’t talk about the details for now, cause we
don’t want to accidentally reveal some spoiler...
Anyway,
as they say, a picture is more worth than words, or something like that, so I
should show some in-game shots:
Here is
our “hero” in the spotlight. Yes, he’s a child. Don’t expect mercy in this
world.
We’re
trying to make dark, dirty and claustrophobic places. Objects will have shadow
effects in real time, but this wasn’t properly implemented yet.
Yeah,
you will be able to push and drag boxes… and yeah, you will use them to press
buttons.
Hideous
creatures await you, and your little lantern toy can reveal your presence, so
being stealthy sometimes is the best option… but combat is also a viable solution.
So,
that’s it for now. Sorry for the long post. We look forward for your feedback.
We’re doing our best, but surely we can always do better.
Thanks
and see ya!
