Game
LAZY NIGHTS
2 years ago

I'm thinking of reworking the game and taking a hiatus.


When I think of the game's framework and story for more than five seconds, I realize how much of it is fundamentally flawed at it's core.


-The motivations for the characters are unclear, and even if they are clear, it's often nonsensical at best.

-The game's tone is all over the place, one time it decides to become a meme game, but then when the next section begins, it suddenly takes itself seriously.

-The gameplay loop is boring.

-The main nights is a carbon copy of FNaF1, think about it for a second.

-Confusing mechanics

-Most of the game's horror comes from the sound design, mute the audio and it's barely scary at all.

-The storyline barely makes any sense, not to mention the plot holes.

-There is no sense of tension, making the enemies feel more like a joke than a threat.

-The game, as a whole, has a feeling of being too corporate and soulless. it doesn't feel like it was made with love.


If you are afraid that the rework is going to take too long and miss the deadline, I don't think that it's going to happen.

But if you are afraid that the game ends up being worse than what it once was, keep in mind that the previous version beforehand looked like this:

If anything, when the game gets rebuilt and it's finished enough for screenshots to be made, it will be better than ever before. I just need to take a massive break first.

Thanks for understanding.
