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

Early render of the basement present on the page (Note: It was changed to David looking at a door because it was way too similar to one of ITM's renders.)

Made some changes to the light

The AI Prediction works :)

Just need to figure out the best lose duration for the neighbor since the AI can lose the player really quickly (Even when I put the player's sprint speed on 800 for this test)

The neighbor can now water his plants :)

Also, I remade the player's pants to resemble more the new neighbor model's pants

Nail Puller recode going good :)

(Seriously though, the nailpuller is better than before and you can look around without the hammer following your camera)
