A 3d horror indie game. Where you are detective goes through seeing paranormal activities.

You copied that XD

[pulsar basalt]

ye im too quick

xD

so basically something like phasmophobia?

[acoustic notch]

Are you working on any project?

Or are u preparing on ur dream project ☠️

[pulsar basalt]

I'm just learning atm, i dropped my dream game long ago bc i tried way before my time lol

[acoustic notch]

Phasmophobia was straight horror game. But i want something different. Like you live in a logical world ends up seeing the dark side step by step

Its like climbing stairs untill you reach climax eventually.

[acoustic notch]

Was it too difficult?

[pulsar basalt]

oh yeah, it was gonna be a big mmo lmao

something like Sao type of style but the project was too big for my level

[acoustic notch]

I always wanted a good actual mmo like Sword art online from anime but no one build that.

[pulsar basalt]

aight so basically the very basics, you'll need to learn movement with a sprint mechanic that is based off of stamina

because it wouldn't be a horror game if you could just infinitely sprint away from something lmao

[acoustic notch]

I'm still big fan of sao☠️

[acoustic notch]

Yeah. Scripting is the main issue here. However i hope i will learn as i can

Learn forget and learn again...

[pulsar basalt]

so basically what i'd recommend attempting first is learning what's required for a recreation of something like slenderman or something similar

or another type of horror game that could be preceived as simple so you could get a feel for the type of game you want to make eventually

funny enough my next project was gonna be a horror game lmao

[acoustic notch]

Horror game sells well and its kinda fun though

[pulsar basalt]

so lets start you off with your movement mechanics

for a horror game you'd want some sort of end goal or objective for the player

and you need to align your movement mechanics towards that goal

[acoustic notch]

Like the world wants to tell us where to go ?

U mean that?

[pulsar basalt]

so let's say you were to recreate slender, the end goal is to collect all 7 pages while slender chases you down

so with it being a traveling type of game with a monster chasing you. you'd need a sprint with stamina so you don't just run away 24/7 and never get caught

if you had puzzles where they did parkour or something, you'd need a jump mechanic with a refined jump height and gravity

[pulsar basalt]

Also this is a huge no no to think about

don't think about the money atm as hard as it sounds

because the overwhelming majority of indie devs have their first like 10-20 games flop or even more

[acoustic notch]

Yeah i saw that

[pulsar basalt]

it's like winning the lottery honestly

[acoustic notch]

It doesn't matter for me. I doing this only for making my time worth. I don't feel wasted when developing something(skill) like i used to with online games

I believe gaming is an art. I enjoy playing story based games.

[pulsar basalt]

as long as you don't think about the money it'll be a much better environment for ya

[acoustic notch]

Like the witcher 3 with beautiful world and adventure though it wasn't matched with AAA graphics.

[pulsar basalt]

like honestly yeah the end goal is always to be able to just make a living off of it

but it's unlikely to happen for your first few years of game development

Think of it like college, right now you're sitting at a desk to learn. without expecting money in return right now. you're building up a foundation of skills for your future

[acoustic notch]

Do you think AI 3d modeller will advance this year or next?

[pulsar basalt]

honestly I wouldn't worry about Ai rn

[acoustic notch]

Ai could be a huge advantage if it can design low poly model

[pulsar basalt]

true but at the same time it'd be better to just learn how to do it yourself

[acoustic notch]

Yeah. Can't say for sure what it creates. But as a tool it will be a big help. I used blender and honestly after that my respect towards 3d designer had increased.

[pulsar basalt]

i get what u mean xD

Cube!

[acoustic notch]

Origin of everything

Btw... Do you sculpt using graphics pen, tablet or you are team 🐁?

[pulsar basalt]

mouse

i do have a pen and tablet somewhere but i use a mouse for sculpting

[acoustic notch]

My mom took the pen as a Garbage

[acoustic notch]

How it feels? I have never sculpted. Can you design anime characters with mouse without the advantages of a pen.

[pulsar basalt]

feels pretty aight to me

[pulsar basalt]

I don't feel like a pen is an advantage tbh

a mouse feels better imo

[pulsar basalt]

btw this was the cube lmao

[acoustic notch]

Making cube chad?

You did well though

[pulsar basalt]

i was just messin around with the cube to see what i could make

and now it's becoming buff cube

[acoustic notch]

So it's a relative feeling. I will try so then

[acoustic notch]

It could be a good representation of blender. Just post it on blender community you surely get likes

[pulsar basalt]

lookin kinda Thiiiic xD

[pulsar basalt]

witness the power of cube! @acoustic notch

[acoustic notch]

Bro where did u hide that talent

You have so much free time :0

[pulsar basalt]

what talent lmao

its just cube lul

[pulsar basalt]

i got a portal/gate too lmao

[acoustic notch]

I'm saying about the creativity 😂

[pulsar basalt]

I'm turning all this into a tower defense game ngl lol

[acoustic notch]

Nc. You shouldn't have to worry about 3d design if you can do both

[acoustic notch]

Would good though

[pulsar basalt]

the demon cube made me decide on it lol

I was like... "yknow, a cube tower defense game outta these would be fun to make"

Thinking of adding a souls like twist to it by giving the player a power up each wave

[acoustic notch]

Need animation effect for that

Speaking of animation. I also have to consider that

Learning

Learning never ends

[pulsar basalt]

like for example the player would choose between 3 power ups like "tower attack speed: +5%" "tower attack damage: +5%" "Base Max Hp: +5%" "Base Regen: +5%" "Enemy count: +5%(Since enemies would give gold)"

[acoustic notch]

Oh that would be interesting.

When did you start learning these things like blender, unity, coding etc?

[pulsar basalt]

I started learning to code in like 2020 but i never really got into it too much. same with blender and unity

but i just came back and started doin stuff

but i also did some javascript before bc of custom npcs mod for mc

[acoustic notch]

When i first tried learning in unity in 2024 m, i gave up after a month then I switched to python and the machine learning stuff. But now here I'm want continue this time

[acoustic notch]

Thats an interesting

Stuff to make

I don't see npc mods that much these days

[pulsar basalt]

and a few things are similar between C# and customnpcs version of javascript

like init is similar to void start or update is literally the same as void update

so there's a few easy dots to connect

[acoustic notch]

Yeah. And the python is the easiest of them. They all came from C. So it makes sense

I chose python bcz it was simple and i was lazy learner

[pulsar basalt]

yeah most i did for python was learn how to make a calculator lmfao

[acoustic notch]

But this month i completed the basic c# tutorial(was easy though)

[pulsar basalt]

Honestly i didnt do much for the courses lool

i just kinda threw myself at unity and started learning individual mechanics and stuff

[acoustic notch]

Keep it up. You have way more experience than me.

[pulsar basalt]

for example i learned all of this in a few hrs lmao

anyways thats enough work for me i gotta sleep b4 work
