Looking for gameplay inspiration in the weirdest places

​As planned, I returned to this project after Spaß Taxi was released in December of 2019.

After finishing the cellar gameplay and missing items for the prologue, I realized that I have lots of ideas for scenes, effects, items, etc., but nut enough clear adventure gameplay yet.

That's why I started to write down the whole game structure:

- chapters, locations, items, scenes and the gameplay necessary to progress

This will take some time and there won't be much to show in the meantime, but it's necessary to get an idea of the whole thing and find out what assets I will need to create and what should be done next.

As a first decision I will add shortcuts to the so called "light worlds", where the player obtains the most important items. They will just be empty rooms containing only that item. This way I can concentrate on the main game world (the house) and the gameplay there.

Here is a video of a shader effect for a mirror spook. I will probably still do those things from time to time to keep me motivated. But at the moment I need lots of inspiration for the gameplay the most. :)

I even played the text adventure that is also based on my short story "Darkness", but was shocked to find out that there was barely any adventure gameplay in there. It mostly consisted of fights and exploration.

Also: I post most updates on my twitter, so please follow me there if you want more information. :)

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays

Made my first ever animation.

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)
