That depends...

Will you accept payment in the form of poorly drawn memes on used McDonald's napkins?

I mean...until we're rich and famous and all.

This is exactly my jam. If you're still looking for a sound designer, I could put you in touch with the guy who worked on my Lovecraftian VN (The Whisperer in Darkness--link in the signature), I don't know what his schedule is like nowadays though.

This is looking pretty Schweeeeet.

I didn't become an indie games superstar for the money. It's important to portray trolling well

A cut scene for the stairs would be cool especially in the black and white game boy style.

If you do go for that you could also keep some stairs in the normal style. I think that leaves things open for creativity since you could come up with some creepy things that happen on the stairs themselves. Basically if you can do both somehow that would be cool.

Maybe, even for just one part in the game, as it's playing the stairs scene there could be an alternate part where you notice something off about the steps, then it jumps from the RE stairs back into action while you're still going up the stairs where something could happen?

The game is looking very cool by the way.

I like the RE stairs as well, mainly bc im nostalgically attached to that animation

Heya,
Here is my first iteration of the RE style door transitions.



Admittedly, there is a LOT of work that needs to be done to make this look the way I envision.

This is simply the product of the technique I've been working on to simulate the 3d.

Meanwhile, the door doesn't even have a doorknob  

I'm also working on stairs and various other First Person Scenes (FPScenes).

Catch ya later with further updates!

New Mock-up for Chatroom.
Better to keep it simple and anonymous.



Each human member of the forum has a distinct personality.

Here's a hint of some of the text messages you'll receive from the "troll" admin in real time:



I may just keep these automatic instead of opting for an optional feature.

Anyway, more stuff later.

Wow I'm just seeing this for the first time but you've totally got me hooked. This is looking great already. I like the text message system - I'd rather it be automatic and uncontrollable, personally. In this genre particularly, I think you need to decide what creates the atmosphere you want to achieve, and then make that unalterable, as much as possible.

Map Screen trial:

This is some conceptual art, but the spirit of how this game will scare is present. I'm more into the surreal and unexpected more-so than plain-old body horror. Body horror will be present, but it ill not be the main focus. My philosophy is something along the lines of "seeing things you shouldn't be seeing."

Meanwhile, I finally have the story, gameplay, and central conflict all worked out. This means it is now time to release my DEMO!

I think this is definitely the right approach for this project.
