What would be cooler is making the dots emit as a light source. The horror element is that you can see the ghosts further away but every dot collected would make the maze darker and darker. Turns progressively from a creepy and foreboding horror to a darker jumpscare type; you need the dots to win but they also provide light.
That’s a neat idea
That's brilliant
Genius
another cool thing that could go along with this to make the map less useful would be to have only occasional updates on the ghost locations

Pinky is typically referred to as an ambusher since she target’s pacman’s front. (Allowing you to get caged in by two ghosts easily)

The weirdest thing I find about this is that turning the classic Pac-Man into a first person horror game is actually a genius idea and if done seriously, it could be an actually horrifying experience.
Writing this I now also realize that something like that already exists in Dark Deception. But if I remember correctly none of the levels use the varied enemy AIs like Pac-Man so that could be fun.
Also three ideas for the current version:
1. As mentioned by someone else in the comments (this isn't my idea, just collecting it here), making Clyde randomly use the sounds of the other ghosts would make him more menacing as he would be scaring the player into thinking there's something actually dangerous around.
2. Whenever the map is opened, it wouldn't actually show the ghosts but instead there would be a "blip" like a soundwave every second or so wherever the closest ghost is. Now the map would only tell the player the location of the closest ghost but not live, only every second or so, nor would it tell the player the direction or color of the ghost.
3. Whenever the player "dies", make the camera quickly but not instantly snap at the ghost, giving a final "jumpscare" if the player was running away or if the player didn't have a chance to see the ghost at all, for example if it came around the corner and the player didn't notice.
For some reason, it makes me think of 'Baldi's Basics'.

@@IamCoalfoot More like dark deception, is very much this but with monkeys
a cool idea for a ghost's sound would be to make them make a sound while they're chasing the player, but the sound stops when they get too close or if they stop chasing the player. This makes it so that the player doesn't know if they are safe or not, and would likely make it scarier
The fitness gram pacer test would legitimately be the most scary sound in a horror game
nah I think the three minutes of furry noises beats it
*The fitness gram pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues*
I love how theres barely an intro, we're just thrust into CB's insane thought process and premise
*"Hey hey" will suffice*
To be fair there was no "sorry i was gone so long" because he was only dead for 3 months this time.

honestly a great way to make Clyde noteworthy would have been to give him everyone else's soundfiles chosen randomly

It genuinely terrified me. 😅
Lmao
clyde should have the "multi stage capacity test" or whatever thing while the others should have traditionally scary noises. cause clyde's entire thing is that he's different and chaotic.
Clyde's pattern was made to work in a maze in 2D, psyching the player out by camping near Pac Man and potentially block his path. When put into a 3D Maze in first person, yeah it all falls apart.
This looks hella fun. Each ghost should represent some form of responsibility, so you're really running from responsibility.
how are furries a responibility?
oh... pets...
@@iamagreatape9576 na self control to not murder
@@kurtisgibson2929 The pacer test could represent staying in shape, the alarm could represent both getting enough sleep and being on time, and the scare sound could represent being aware of your surroundings.

I think the way the ghosts work can be simplified into blinky and inky being chaser, pinky flanking you, and clyde being a bit of a roamer.
Im gonna be real, the minute or two he was frantically running away from a ghost loudly meowing and making weird noises at him was the most primal fight or flight response ive had in a while

@@pappi8338 it’s not even the alarm itself, or at least for me, it happens to any alarm I set, even songs. I think it’s due to waking up first thing to the alarm, especially bc it surprises while your sleeping

@@user-hu8pq9dx5d Yeah that's the point of my Message too
Jokes aside, this made for an infinitely better horror game than I was expecting it to.
I concur. I’m legitimately impressed.
If he used actual scary sounds, it would definitely be a top tier horror game
haven't watched the video yet, so I don't know if he already mentioned it but there's actually already a pacman-like horror game called dark deception. not a vr game but a decent horror game nonetheless
Check out It Steals if you liked it, it is legiimately a horror pac man game, i think you will like it
Yeah I think a way he could make is creepier would be if each of the ghosts had a similar sound with slight differences so that at first you have no idea which one is coming for you but eventually you’ll be able to tell them apart and get better and better
Man do I love Code Bullet's videos. Thank you for continuing to make content!
I like how victory seemingly wasn't even a consideration. At least nothing was mentioned as a result of getting all the dots
Cause you never will
The final bit with Pac-man as the monster made me think of all the spaceship interpretations. Imagine if the dots were interpreted as ceiling lights and the maze gets progressively darker as he destroys them. The power dots being something like a power center or something and everything goes dark when he gets them.
That is the most high capasity tear thing i heard.
Isn't that exactly what terminal montage did?
@@destroyer4929 That's what I meant by "spaceship interpretations", couldn't figure out where I had seen it before.
But still, he does it differently. The pellets inguat video are some science thing the pac-astronaut uses to fight the ghosts. In this, the monster is still pac-man, and the pellets are just lights
The Langoliers are coming.
@@destroyer4929 No. TM did the reverse where the ghosts were the monster.
Every Code Bullet video is equally chaotic, but it feels like he goes through ten stages of character development between each one.
Couldn’t had said it better, like I couldn’t figure out how to word it
All that character development can be followed on his second channel where he uploads weekly

Dude I would love to see a second vid or even a playable version of this. This is funny-scary and I love it. Like how do these 2 totally different emotions collide, wtf, its great.
The ghosts stopping and restarting their noises as the power dot wears off is a nice touch
It's such a nice touch considering it's likely just a side effect of the way he programmed the flicker lol
It's not a bug, it's a feature

Absolutely loved this, well done CB!
I'm in my late 50's and I remember when Pac-Man originally came out. I also remember when Doom first came out. And I was playing both at their release. This has a bit more potential than what you actually realise mate. If you put more work into the graphics, sounds, and increased the fear, whilst taking the comedic element out, you'd have something that would be quite enjoyable to play. It would be very interesting to see what the gameplay would be like if it was developed without the VR, and instead for the desktop. Quake maybe? Good work btw.
I love how CB went from [entertainment-educational AI application] to just [goofing in unity with VR]. Absolutely based. At least someone i follow shares enjoyment (in between suffering) in developing in Unity.
I Like that you use these little [square brackets] in casual conversation
I hope he uses this on his resume, I love the idea of a potential employer looking at his videos and thinking "yeah this is exactly the kind of person we need"

This man is a legend
I was super happy when you did your research on Pacman and its behaviour. Most of the remakes I've seen just make the ghost randomly chase you. That sucks.
CB this video already taught me loads more about Pac-Man than I've ever known before. I didn't know the ghosts had individual names/personalities lol. I didn't know they actually do different things. I've never noticed that Blinky (red) always targets you directly. I've played a lot of Pac-Man arcade machines too. Just never realised all this! Mind-Blown.
This reminds me of another horror game where you have to run around collecting crystals while navigating a maze and running from something.
Yeah the one where a lady send you to go to the levels and the first one's monsters are those clapping monkeys in bell boy outfits
Yeah, it’s Dark Deception, which I thought would be at least mentioned.

The context for the "looks like you could still use a close shave" quote comes from his boss fight in pac man world 2. In which he drives a wooden ghost mech that launches saw blades out of its mouth.

Yes, please make this downloadable for us! I would love to play this with friends lol
Fun Fact: The "ghosts" in Pac Man werent originally intended to be ghosts, however due to some translation errors on the english version of the game people began calling them ghosts. They were originally supposed to be some kind of monster with some kind of cover hiding their true face, similar to the sheet ghosts that kids used to dress up as for Halloween
Also, the Atari version of Pac Man, where the machine wasn't powerful enough to have all ghosts on the same frame, didn't help.
That could be a cool horror mechanic if you think about it.. 🤔
That sounds needlessly complicated
Code Bullet... The only channel that low key complains about the months it took them to make the video only to add animated splash screens in between segments XD
Honestly, being able to jump up onto the walls would be a good idea if the game had stealth elements. Like maybe jumping up out of the trench alerts all the ghosts to your location and they turn aggressive and chase you until you ditch them: so jumping up on to the walls is basically either just a desperation tactic when cornered, or a risk/reward thing to speed up your run.
It's my first time seeing code bullet and after seeing the intro my mind gets instantly filled with tv man
The most terrifying part of all of this is that code bullet uses Norton Antivirus.
I think you misspelled Norton Virus.
I was shocked
Nothing is better than Norton antivirus...
Correction: even nothing is better than Norton antivirus.
@@redif8889 yeah. I got my mom’s old windows 8 laptop recently to mess around with an it has Norton. It keeps asking me to pay it. It launches every time I open my computer. I can’t end the task

Loved watching this! It’s awesome to see you expand your range and as long as we get ANY content from you we’re happy. I’m not using “we” to refer to your subs, I’m talking about Precious and I.
Even though it's nowhere close to being done, I'd love to be able to play this as-is, even as a timewaster of sorts. Sadly I don't own a VR so I wouldn't be able to play it anyway.
Here's some ideas that might inspire further development if you ever plan on continuing working on this game: the map should probably let you walk still, but instead of showing the ghosts location, it could show the ghosts last known location (based on proximity/sounds maybe?) or probably just make the location update every 15/30 seconds or so, so you *know* they're approaching (and likely guess if they are hunting/scattering) but you don't know their exact location.
Amazing video as always CB!
Hey Bullet, I wanted to say that your videos are what got me into programming and I just finished my bachelors in Computer science. I don't know if I should thank you or hurt you.
The answer is yes
I'm still finishing it, and he is the main reason why I haven't given up yet. You Aussie bastard LET ME CUT THE CORD!!!!
Code Bullet's on his way to becoming a game developer.
Those ghosts make me think of the Cores that were attached to GLaDOS in portal one. Yeah, the one that’s talking about making cake and some other ones that are weird like this one that sounds like it’s a curious child sort of or whatever and I imagine this is what all the cores basically going off and GLaDOS‘s head would feel like.

14:12 - "I really hate developing in VR, it's so annoying" - Pro tip, many developers find it more convenient to develop games using a 2D monitor and typing code on a normal keyboard, and only use the VR when playing the game. I hope this helps.
This would be way too easy and smart for code bullet

The Inky close shave line comes from his boss fight where he chucks circle saw blades from his ghost bot at you.
I point people to your videos when they ask me why software development is stressful and frustrating. You really capture it in a core way that I can't explain in words alone. I can't stop laughing and/or crying when you fall through the wall for the 15th time, after declaring the wall collision working perfectly.
I played pacman at a VR exhibition about 7 years ago with a 360 treadmill, that was a true unexpected horror
It'd be dope to see an alternative VR mechanic in which movement was controlled with teleports to the dots. The player might strategically leave gaps or try to jump long distances. Could make for some very tense gameplay!

I think not being able to outrun the ghosts makes it a way scarier horror game, just knowing they're slowing gaining on you.
unfortunately since you will likely not make optimal turns they would gain on your and win very easily, you need to at least have the chance of winning.
@@Lorkanthal true, but you could always have the AI compensate by slowing down for turns at the exact same rate as the player, thus taking that part out, while keeping the horror of the ever-gaining monster in it.
It also makes the power dots quite useless. They still can save you from being caged in, yes, but that's about it, you can't gain extra time for eating by eating ghosts.
It's not really a horror when the ending is inevitable. It's when you get your fighting chance ruined by running into one by accident or a small mistake.
@@PaulDixon25 how would you calculate how long the player takes to make turns and apply that to the ghosts? youd be able to cheese it by sitting at an intersection without moving.
Add a sprint meter and let the player use their skill to sprint away when the time is right. Done.

pinky's actually supposed to be super smart and tries to go around and catch the player infront of them, and i think specifically in a horror game that wouldve been super neat
The VR controls going ape shit might have actually been the scariest part. Having zero control over your body while you are flung around a hellish maze, being forced to wake up and attempt to run the pacer test while a serial killer furry chases you.
