How I'm Making my Dream Retro Horror Game SCARIER - Devlog 

Putting it at a low resolution makes it possible to get away with a worse looking game ;)

hes not wrong, i personally am very forgiving of low poly games 😀 they have a weird good look.

Shut.

Up.

You're right, I'm planning on making a transition and it should be quite easy to implement actually, I just felt like it wasn't a priority right now! I'm currently quite limited with the sounds so a lot of it is placeholders right now, especially the lighting strike, it has some background noise too that is ruining it even more. Perhaps I should just learn to make the sounds myself haha

Maybe one day, appreciate it! :)

Glad to hear you like them, gives me energy to make more :) Good luck with your game!

Thanks a lot! Sorry for the infrequent uploads, its been very busy lately so finding time to work on both videos and the game has been hard! I have another video planned at least that should come sooner!

@@JensDev No worries at all. I've been quite busy myself :)

Thanks a lot! You're right, it would make it more realistic the way you suggested. I like that, I'm gonna work on implementing the changing elements part, great suggestion! I have some plans for separating the players, we'll see if I can implement some of that to the next devlog!

That would scare the crap out my group to all of a sudden be like, umm guys, where'd you go!?!

Hey, I'm taking a break from it, I didn't manage to pull off the AI I needed for the game so I think I need some more experience before tackling that. Sorry about that :/

@@JensDev Aw yeah man I know how that feels :( What is your planned roadmap for this game? Are you gonna do something closer to Phasmophobia or will it be more survival-horror focused? For the AI you could start with some sort of creepy dark levitating phantom similar to the Dementors from Harry Potter; at the beginning it could be more passive and just lurk the players through the make of random noises and the throwing of physics objects. As players complete puzzles, the phantom could become progressively more aggressive until it physically spawns and begin hunting the players through the whole mansion! You can even make the lights flicker when the Phantom is close as a warning for the players, so they can have a chance to hide. Just an idea for you, I'm very interested in this project and I already sub to your channel, so won't miss anything! Keep the good work, from a fellow Unreal developer :)

Have you seen my video on how I make my 3d models? I go through a lot of that stuff there!

I shall put on my heaviest swedish accent for you haha

Yes, you can select all models and export them as one fbx file. When you import into unreal you can select that it creates a new material based off the fbx file and they get imported as seperate models. This works in most cases but for some reason it occasionally exports them all as one mesh and I can't figure out why haha

I like aswell

@@RaphaelWeiter thank you

I glad

I like as well

@@JensDev tanks

I don't know if I am :o I'll be posting a new video soon on some easy texturing methods though :)

@@JensDev Please do, i am literally clueless about Texturing like i have no idea how mine always look so weird and the colors dont match or anything

I have built my own computer, I'll try putting up the parts in the description in future videos :)

No, I have studied engineering, only did some basic Java courses :)

what if you can't defend yourself :o I'm gonna start working on the enemy soon, maybe next devlog :)

@@JensDev ye just for something to actually be scary it needs something driving the player. In Poppy's playtime I was never scared because I knew it wouldn't kill me. My opinion at least

@@JensDev you could do something similar to dead by daylight where you can slow down the enemy by knocking things in front of doors and pushing stuff over

Thanks a lot! Definitely gonna need some help with playtesting later on, appreciate it. Good luck with your game and devlog! :)
