Mechanics


I've been thinking about the mechanics I want to introduce in the game and I need your thoughts, if anyone saw this page can atleast give their opinions on them.

Flashlight: It was already shown in one of the videos on the game's development page. Press R to turn it on/off. (Scrapped)

Leaning: I've been thinking about adding the leaning function to the player since all I need to do is toggle it on the player's blueprint.

The Neighbor being able to sneak behind the player: I'm trying to make the neighbor sneak behind the player if the neighbor sees the player but the player does not see him.

Make the neighbor check the basement door: If he sees that one of the locks in the basement are removed he goes onto hunt mode.

What if whenever you interact with a door, lock or boards your shadow does an animation? Not him holding items because I'm lazy. (Scrapped as of 11/4/2025)

Readding holstering (Done)

Thinking of making the neighbor able to vault through objects so he becomes more of a threat. If I scrap this idea, I'll use the animations of him vaulting on cutscenes (Scrapped, a pain in the ass to code)

Scrapped the default flashlight mechanic, it's an actual item now. Don't worry, there is a flashlight beside the player's bed if you need it (I doubt you'll need it in the release, but it's there for the occassion)

That's all for now, I'll edit this post if I think about more mechanics

Hello, Road! (Don't mind the floating fences, it's a left over from the old map)

Random fact: I was going to use the old project file for the whole development phase, the current and new project file was supposed to be a Prototype Reimagined fangame that I transformed into the new HNSW version, the folder even has the old name!

Was testing an animation for a cutscene and it looks like they're taking a pic

What u looking at David?

(Brought the chest movement back, except it only moves the neck)

Doors💀 (Only made this to show some fixes on the nailpuller, the new door closing sound, and the door handle animations)

Development is quite slow, unfortunately

I added chair blocking into the game (I'm gonna change the code later, it's using set timer by event for the door unblocking. (+ Custom sounds) :)

Car_Drive (Still kinda scuffed and it gives alot of errors when leaving the car, but it works fine, The way I'm doing is I'm coding an entirelly new player character, it's gonna be a while until It's actually stable enough)

Edit: Forgot the video💀

I just fixed the fade out not working for when the player is in his house area

I'm thinking of bringing back Car_Drive. But I don't know what use it could have nor how to code it... maybe when I manage to code it I could use it in a dream sequence? Give me some ideas on how I can make this work :)

LMAO I FOUND THE SCREENSHOT! It doesn't look as bad as I thought it looked (Btw this screenshot was before the map overhaul)
