Letter I received:
Hello I am *** and just so you know a little about me I will tell you my 3 favorite game genres, my 3 favorite are horror, survival, and FPS. The theme I give you is "Endless Snow" Make whatever you want of this but I hope you make it cool.
Ok, lets talk about this. My first thoughts are the following:
I think about some snowblizard kind of landscape. Maybe yetis? Or some other preditor that is hunting the player. Then I remembered some old game that had a cool mechanic where the monster only moved when you looked away. Something like the wheeping angles in dr. Who.
I would like to take the "engine" used for SensenCemetary and modify it, so it supports the following stuff:
- Show a blizard, limited sight
- Outside areas
- Inside areas
- Some kind of weapon you can collect
- Enemies, and detection when they are seen; + a clever system to recognize when an enemy is suddenly in sight to play a scare effect sound
- Some reason why the player needs to turn their back
- Doors that can open and close
- Some indicator that an enemy is on the loose.
