Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

Did you get this idea from Amnesia? The concept looks exactly like it and so does other stuff...

Btw, the face at the end freaked me out...a lot...

And you said that you needed help. I will Beta or Alpha Test it. (To be honest, this seems like it would need a lot of testing)

I've actually never played Amnesia. Any similarities are purely coincidental.

Any testing is waaay down the line though. If it reaches that stage, you would all be welcome to test it for me.

Oh, I didn't know that. I actually would have expected you to at least have played it a bit. Strange.

Anyway, if you want to see how it is similar, here is a trailer:

Testing: Understood, I will try to stay alert for any announcement of that.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

Wow that is amazingly similar... However, not to any offense, if it was a coincidence, maybe it is just not a very unique idea. I haven't played Amnesia, but I assume it doen't learn about the player's fears like RPGMaster's does. That makes his unique.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

While watching it I kept thinking something was gonna pop and and scare the crap out of me. So I skipped some of the video just in case...

Anyway, it looks pretty good, kinda reminds me of something I read on Creepypasta Wiki... oh the horror.

I would go out into the wilderness at the beginning... Will there be anything out there? Or can you just get lost? That would be the scariest imo. The house disappears after you go too far.

Warnings of a creepy whit face...

Is this ok too watch by a faint-hearted 11 year old? Lots of adults seem to be creeped out by it.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

It's not that scary, I didn't find any scary effects in it when I watched it. But that might just be me, as Rpgmaster said. This video showed how the fear of darkness might be simulated based on the players own fear of darkness.
And I'm not really that scared of darkness. But you might?

So I think   faint-hearted 11 year old can watch it, exept if they are scared of darkness.

And for combat, the hiding and seeking concept is quite a fun way of playing. If it's executed right, like as might have been mentioned above, Amnesia the dark descent.

Not being able to properly fight your enemies, having to run and hide. Barricade doors to get more time etc. That is something that could fit this game, but still from what you have explained so far. It doesn't really seem to fit into the gameplay you have described for us.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

Time for some Q&A!

Wow that is amazingly similar... However, not to any offense, if it was a coincidence, maybe it is just not a very unique idea. I haven't played Amnesia, but I assume it doen't learn about the player's fears like RPGMaster's does. That makes his unique.

I do see the similarities, but I am still in a phase where I can feel comfortable in going in different directions. Besides, I only showed an example of darkness because it was the easiest to recreate without any programming knowledge. I plan on including lots of other stuff like fear of spiders (No need to explain that), fear of heights, fear of water, fear of clustered holes, etc. There are so many different things to play around with so that the game itself will hopefully be very different from what you saw in this video.

I would go out into the wilderness at the beginning... Will there be anything out there? Or can you just get lost? That would be the scariest imo. The house disappears after you go too far.

It was not demonstrated in the video, but I figured that the further out you go, the darkness would become more intense and would eventually engulf you, resulting in either a game over or a return to spawn. The effect could vary depending on the fears, of course. If someone has a fear of people/crowds, I could throw in some whispers, floating eyes on the distance and perhaps some sinister laughs. There is lots to do with a concept like this.

OH SWEET JESUS THAT FREAKING FACE AT THE END

faces.

Actually, I intend to make this far more bizarre than this video shows it to be. I'm essentially trying to create a fusion between Silent Hill and David Lynch's surreal movies and TV shows.

It's not that scary, I didn't find any scary effects in it when I watched it. But that might just be me, as Rpgmaster said. This video showed how the fear of darkness might be simulated based on the players own fear of darkness.

That's possible. I also intentionally didn't make it "too scary" as much as I was trying to create an atmosphere of dread and anticipation, two feelings that are far more appealing to me personally.

A hide-and-seek approach would make the most sense, but as I stated, combat is not very interesting in large doses. Puzzles, exploration and piecing together the storyline is far more appealing to me, so that's the route I will be taking. The more story-based the game is, the easier it is to feel connected to the game on an emotional level, that's what I'm trying accomplish.

Nope, haven't seen that either. Like I said, most of my inspiration comes from Silent Hill 2.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

I love the concept.

What would scare me is where you are in a lit room, then be forced to walk into total darkness, then come out back into the same room you were in before, with some new blood, or whatever. D:

I guess at the start you would have a lot of tests to see what the player is scared of, then put in more of what they avoid during the initial tests into the game later on?

Scary.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

Yes, this is the first game I have seen that learns from the player.

Also: I need someone who is good at editing videos. What you are going to do is take the last scene at the pit at the end of the hallway, and replace the white face with an EE Smiley. It shall be called "When 'The Sound of Silence' meets EE..."

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

I have a suggestion.

Why don't you in some scenarios, force players to make difficult decisions.
Like create a hallway that the player runs through to get away from a God awful sound quickly getting near them, then create a corner that the player has to go through to get away from the terrible noise, and create the only way to avoid fo the sound is to go into an eerie hallway, so you have to either be caught by something terrible, or go down a hallway that has Slenderman at the end.

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

Just a quick little update behind the scenes. My younger brother is interested in programming and designing this with me so he's already gotten to work on making a 3D engine from scratch while I'll be doing the conceptual designs along with his progress. So far, he intends to use the XNA framework as well as program it in either Java or C++, he has yet to decide which one is more efficient for what we'll be doing. I have full confidence in his ability to make it happen since he's made like 3 or 4 fully functional engines just for fun in the past.

I also have a very good sound designer on the hook as well who has worked on several indie movies and has agreed to treat this as a side project for himself, more or less. Like me, he's a huge Silent Hill fan so we both know exactly how this game should sound.

Let's see if I can get this ball rolling soon.

That sounds awesome.

Personally, I think Java would work better. However, I don't know that much about either. I just know the basics.

What is your little brother's name?

Re: A concept video for a horror game that I'm developing.

Bumping because of a recent surge of interest from the entire internet.

Been at the Reddit gaming section holding steady at #4 for a solid day now with over 1000 comments.
http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments … own_fears/

It might just be a concept but it?s an awesome one. Sound of Silence exists only as a concept video put together by Michael Chiniquy at the moment, but due to a surge of interest from Reddit, Michael says he will be working on the game and has many offers of help to do so.

http://www.indiegamemag.com/sound-of-si … scare-you/

With survival horror titles becoming less scary and a lot more combat intensive over the past few years, this title is sure to be a welcome addition to the genre and we?re sure it would prove massively popular amongst fans of the genre.

http://sticktwiddlers.com/2012/05/17/ho … ers-fears/

Michael Chiniquy seems to have a gift for horror verging on the Poe-esque. As you can see from the above video, he is breaking new ground in immersive storytelling by making a game with a capacity to learn from, and play to, the player's fears. The Sound Of Silence concept video shows how, by cultivating a sense of loneliness and isolation, and by learning from the player's reactions, you can really engender a sense of deep fear and unease.
