none of the highly creepy stuff really happens in the normal game though, maybe a little bit, but half the fun would be fucking with people in unexpected ways outside the gameplay itself

imscared probably.
there's a white-faced fucker who chases you the entire game. storywise he's a ghost possessing your computer.

on the end of act 1, the game closes and you think it's over. then you open your browser and get jumpscared. then it just gets worse, until your character selfterminates, and everything is over for good.

Is there any way to have a virus scan a computer in order to find an email address to start sending players messages? I'm thinking of some ideas I can give to my buddy who's got a hobby for making little games for fun and he asked me to help with a more horror/unsettling one he's making.

He had an idea that once you finish the game it crashes, then after a few days it starts fucking with your computer, the first fuck up being some email with some text like "why didn't you help me?" or something. After that it gets creepier by copying your pictures and putting them in a folder, but all of the originals are put through a creepy glitch filter or something.

Is the email thing feasible or is that illegal? I'm sure he could find some other way to start it off.

I like your style, and would love to play your game.

Anyway. Feasible? Sure, any semi-decent hack can help you with that. Legal? make the player "read" terms of usage. someone will whine, but it's legal.

But the glitch thing? Fuck man, I love you. That's a bit trickier to code, it's doable though. As long as you don't overwrite it's perfectly fine.

You might want to go some research on the legal part though. There's always a retard who will bitch at anything.

Pretty sure that's illegal.

I know older versions of Gamemaker has a function to open up the CD tray. I don't know which version, and I doubt it will work on Windows 8 or above. Might be worth looking into though, it's the most 4th-wall breaking thing I've experienced in a game. It's especially brilliant considering most people nowadays never use their CD drives.

Eversion was another huge inspiration, but my game will have zero foreshadowing. Eversion starts off with a quote by HP Lovecraft, and something among the lines of "This game might not be suitable for everyone", which is a huge red flag that tells you exactly what to expect.
Not to mention, you never hear of Eversion in a discussion about non-horror games, since outside of the horror gimmick, it doesn't have much going for it. Just a short, (deceptively) generic puzzle-platformer. I aim to actually make a decently playable top-down action/puzzle game, but with more focus on stealth and avoiding damage to better complement the horror elements, which start to take form about halfway through the game.
I can't say it WILL be good, but dammit, I'm trying.

He actually does glitch art in his spare time and almost released the filter thing he's going to use in the game a couple days before halloween, but he thought better of it. He's apparently still working on it to make it seem creepier rather than simply pixel sorting everything like it was going to be.

He said he's taking inspiration from those creepy broken gifs like pic related for how it'll fuck up photos.

I forgot to mention, but it also implants some videos and audio that he's been working on.

>>323103116
I've been poking around to try and find ways that he could use that'd make the game more special rather than just going down a creepypasta route but to be honest, after playing undertale without knowing shit about the game, Flowey's generic creepypasta shenanigans were super creepy to experience firsthand, at least before I remembered that they were basically straight references, so the generic HYPERREALISTIC and THENAMEOFMYFILECHANGED were actually good, creepy ideas before they were overdone to shit As long as it doesn't simply rely on those tropes entirely I think having them alongside the game would definitely give it a little more meat in case the main idea we eventually come up with isn't quite as unsettling as we hope.

>>323097273

Doesn't this happen with all those hacked CS 1.6 servers, where they run a script that opens your CD tray.

>>323105457
Yes, it will be commercial, around $5-10 most likely. Dunno if I can get it on steam, but if it's good enough (i.e. actually worth your time), I'm confident Greenlight should get it into the market. Look for a game that takes place on an island, possibly set in the early 1900s, which plays a bit like Zelda 1 (with the top-down view, scrolling screens, and large hud and whatnot).
Hate to disappoint, but I don't even have an artist yet. I'm just doing the programming with placeholder art at the moment. But thanks for asking.

I won't make a kickstarter unless I can get most of the game done, sans the art, which is the only thing that would cost me money, unless I can get in touch with an artist. Ideally I'd like to just release the game out into the wild, just to see how people would react. But I'm also afraid it will go completely unnoticed if I don't have some kind of following or crowd funding campaign before its release. So I'm not sure what will happen yet.

Hopefully. I mean he's been working on it for a while, but it seems to me like a lot larger of an undertaking than he usually does. I'm not a programmer of any sort, I'm just an idea guy so it's not like I'm going to be helping on the workload.

Whatever the case, I have to start working on the meat of the game's aesthetic/storyline (if it'll have a story) more if it's to be as highly regarded of something like Yume Nikki.

If it's to come out at any point, it won't come out very soon.

I'm a close friend of imscared creator. It's going to be released soon on Steam with new content and nice stuff, stay tuned.

I don't see imscared working on a real digital distribution platform with a product library.
It only really has the effect that it does because you're downloading what seems like a hacked together low-effort garbage game from a potentially non-legit source before it starts getting really spooky.

how bout the exact opposite?
>start game
>got a paddle
>have to hit zombies in the legs and then head to kill
>special zombies basically bosses
>pretty sure they patched in damage increases and stuff as the game was out longer
>get crafted weapons
>becomes just some arcadey piece of shit where you're running around not even surviving just hunting zombies

they had something going at the start of the game and then i think it just got too video-gamey later on with all the talents and stat packed weapons

Depends... For this kind of pixel art, it's really difficult to scale down from a reference, as the color palette is extremely limited. But you're welcome to post what you've got.
Generally I like to work with people whom I know in real life, since it's harder for the other person to just will themselves out of existence if they decide to jump ship. I've had that happen a few times already.

Are you retarded? There's a handful of smaller games that do it, including that one free "not scary" haunted house game on steam.

The exact same thing happens in Dying Light. Once you get an assault rifle, night becomes a joke.
