Thinking of scrapping some things


Yeah... I'm thinking of scrapping some things from the game.

As much as it pains me to say this (corporate ahh speech), I'm gonna need to scrap some things to get this game out. This article will go over what I will scrap from this fan game.

1# Multiple houses

Originally, I was planning to makes this a full game (like HNAR). Featuring multiple houses. But I scrapped this storyline in favor of a shorter and unique one, and as such, it made the multiple houses useless.

My idea for act 1 was to have the alpha 2 house as a tutorial (Like the devs of the original game said back when alpha 2 was getting released)

Act 2 would've featured the Devgamm house, which I scrapped the model of as it had buggy normals, badly placed textures, and it overall didn't fit with the style I was going for.

Act 3 Would've had the prototype house (I showed videos on how it looked like)

Act 4 Would've been the Alpha 1 house with all of the floors and puzzles from the scrapped floor plans.

Act 5 Would've featured the Pre-Alpha House and would be the final act of the game.

2# Some items will not be as detailed as I expected to make them (Might change in the future).

I was planning to make everything in the game have animations to play when interacted with (like door handles, radio buttons, TV buttons, and keys being used on doors.)

The only animated item in the game is the hammer which I'm not removing, you can still do your hammer chaos, just not with other items.

3# Adding custom items (I might add some still)

I was planning to make custom items for the game, like custom meshes for items that were interacted with, completely custom items for the enviroment, and even custom items the neighbor could've interacted with.

I'm scrapping this idea for now, because once I actually get to finish a build of the game I will want to try and add some custom things

These are all of them, I appreciate if you took time readings this

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

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)

Hey guys, currently the development is going smoothly. I'm even working on another fangame behind the scenes!

I'm posting this small gameplay footage of act 1 so you guys can give me some feedback and ideas on what I can improve.

William can now jump through obstacles to get to you

Edit: Added the image I said I was gonna add

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.)

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 :)

Erm I managed to fix William's AI by simply putting a randomize Idle on the event graph even though I didn't need to before???

I'm really confused about ts

Edit: Managed to also fix ts by putting the Randomize Idle node before the idle ambiance cue

Nail Puller recode going good :)

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