Hello everyone!
I started working on this project almost three years ago and it's very dear to me. I gave up on it a lot of times in the past due to bad planning and being too ambitious. Worked on and off on this project, sometimes didn't work on it for months. But I always thought about it, kept it in the back of my head and kept on developing the idea because this is the game I really want to make and would love to play. Since I'm actively working on it again now, next to my fulltime job, I decided to start a devlog to keep myself motivated and to get some good critique. Also because doing everything alone can make you blind for the obvious.
I'm aware of the fact that there are a lot of good and bad (survival) horror games out there. This is why I really want to make a good one, even though this is gonna be a big challenge since the game is a 2d sidescroller and horror on it's own is a difficult genre.
That is why I've read a lot of articles about what makes something creepy, how we react when we are scared and how we get scared. I find this very interesting stuff to research.
Also I'm watching a lot of (horror) movies at the moment, and I have seen quite a few in the past because I love horror flicks. Decomposing suspens hopefully helps me to create tension in my game.
I know I'm not making a film but a game, but movies are a great inspiration and help me to get story structures.
