Horror comes in many forms, and limiting visibility (using this style) can still be very effective. The art style that RE used, with pre-rendered backgrounds, is not what I'd be going for. The idea would be to have the camera system as an effective horror technique, while keeping a higher level of interactivity in the environment. This would more just be a change in how the camera is operating and how the player is viewing the world.

Thanks for your comment :) Very good point with targeting specific audiences. Mine does lean more toward the older/nostalgia area, it's soooo hard targeting to younger audiences now especially with single player games. I struggled with a huge decision in my last game, and have really come to learn that hey - the community can be pretty cool and helpful!

@@stasisboothgames I'm glad you're able to find inspiration and creative help from the communities ideas, honestly a lot of communities gaming or not are much more engaged when they're taken into account not just for their wallets but for their input and enjoyment as well. I think you'll end up getting lots of awesome inspiration and fun ideas for the game and im looking forward to seeing what comes out at the end, should be lots of fun :)~p.s. single player games are always awesome

Player, user and community feedback is super important to me. Without it, my previous game wouldn't have released as it was. This is the first time asking for community input into a core gameplay feature though - while it feels weird, it's so nice to have this level of interaction :)

Agreed. There's hundreds of games in first person of similar design, and doing it in resident evil inspired can void a lot of the difficulties of animating things in first person to make it look good. If you're feeling ambitious, you could work on one or the other, and see which one you prefer to work with. Who knows, procrastinating on one by working on the other can be good... just don't burn yaself out. :)

You're right - I think while both FPS and Resi Evil camera have been done *alot*, there is still some freshness to bring to it. Thanks for watching and your comment!

Thanks. Yeah FPS was a choice because it felt to me you can make the environment more interactive, but this was just when working toward a prototype for a funding application. Moving further into it, animations as you say can get very tricky to look natural, whereas with the RE inspired style you can get a way with a little more jank as it's not in your face. I'm *always* super ambitious, but running these two systems side by side will be far too much of a headache haha.

It sure is!

Thank you so much for watching and your support! Hopefully this game is the one ;)

@@stasisboothgames Your games have never been short of "The One". People are just blind, dumb, and or ignorant...they can't help it But yes, it will happen. Sooner than you think~

Thanks, Az! I'm really happy with how it's turning out.

@@stasisboothgames You're welcome!! That is really great to hear!!

Haha just make sure you take time for yourself too :P

I completely agree. I was into those kinds of videos for awhile and started seeing devs disappear or abandon projects.

It's great you're able to recognize and make those changes. I've seen so many devs be so strict with their vision and the project ends up going nowhere, or has some major flaw because they can't see it or even worse, they won't listen to others valid points.

Thank you so much for watching! I felt tired when making this, so was maybe a bit more raw than usual. Maybe that's when I should be making them haha.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for buying We Are Not Alone! If you enjoy it, I'd really appreciate if you could leave a review :) Journey is going well - it's fun, but also the good kind of scary/tough.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Thank you! Don't take it too personally, basically everyone got radio silence on what I was up to haha. I needed time alone to figure it out :) You'll be more in the loop from here on in!

@@stasisboothgames *reads this after having eaten my feelings and gained 100 pounds* *Does intensive workouts to get back to my fighting & slaying weight* *Out of breath* I won't! And hey, all is forgiven, you indie-niably lovable ball of talented energy~

Thanks!

Thank you, Az!

@@stasisboothgames You're welcome :D

I can't wait for others to play it too :)

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it's going :)

Thank you! Devlogs will be making a return in a few days :)

🥰

Thank you!

It definitely has achievements 😊 Sony discontinued the preferred platform key in June - which was perfect timing haha. If I can find some more money in the next month or so, I’ll try funnel it into the ports!

@@stasisboothgames Oh no! I hadn't seen that they discontinued it. It's still worth reaching out to Playstation/Xbox reps since they might provide you with partial funding to cover it or something else. I'm not sure about Sony, but the ID@Xbox people I've talked with have been really helpful and accommodating.

Thanks, I’ll reach out to them and see what happens!

I will at some point for sure, just at the moment it’s not feasible 😊

Hopefully one day I can redeem myself :P

Hey, thank you! I’m not exactly sure what the format will be coming back to devlogs. I might try a few different things. Videos will be returning shortly though, it’s been a crazy few months!

A majority of the game *is* in first person! There are times that it becomes third person as everything you view is through the lens of a camera. Oh and not always! There are lots of amazing third person horror games (RE, Silent Hill, Tormented Souls)!

Thank you so much for the comment! I’m glad that’s how the video came across, I tried for many years on many other channels and it just never felt genuine. So now I just try be me :) If you’ve got a game out there let me know the title so I can check it out!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching - now you've mentioned it I had a proper look at numbers and I also have no idea that's going on with that :) Marketing is tough. I've learned a LOT about it over the past year and through my tiny attempts at marketing We Are Not Alone. Hopefully it helps when it comes time to market the next game.

Thank you for picking it up, I really hope you enjoy it! You can do this :D Message me if you have any questions or just want to chat/some motivation! (Also if you're working on anything in particular, send me a link!!)

I couldn't resist the fake out, I'm sorry :P I can't wait to announce future plans, but they're sooooo early it could potentially bite me in the butt to announce anything at all. Thanks for all your support, and for being you (also for being Geoff) :)

Fixed! Thank you so much for letting me know!

Haha sorry :P. I just couldn't resist ... as much as I hate clickbait titles.

Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you 🥰

😮

Thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear you don't like the look of the game, hopefully one day you will give it a go though.

​@@stasisboothgamesI won't tho it is a game that has nothing to offer for me. Of course tastes are different and so are games. But as it stands the price is too high for me to gamble my money on a Indie Game

k

Thanks!

I still can't wrap my head around how big it is the game has actually launched hah. I wonder how long it'll take to sink in. Hope you enjoy it when you get to play it, and that you're doing well :)

I was *very* tempted to do that, but I couldn't. I felt the intro was evil enough :)

Thanks, Hassie! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. Hope you like the way it ends!

Thank you for following along! As I finish off the last parts of the game, comments like this really help keep the motivation up :) I don't think the game is *too* scary, and is more a different form of horror but that's coming from someone who has lived and breathed WANA for the past 14 months. Really glad to hear you might get this one!

I'm looking forward to getting it out there :D

Thanks!

Thanks, Az! Can't believe the game is almost finished

You're more than welcome!! It's great than you arrived at the almost publishing state of the game :D @@stasisboothgames

Thanks for watching :D Haha yeah the project management stuff could be an entire video ... I think i talked about doing one over a year ago. Thankfully I didn't because this system is amazing.

Thanks so much 😊Glad you liked it!
