Trailer and Demo

The final release of our game is here! It's titled Play With Me and the game concept where its set in a dense forest with beautiful scenery was instantly submerged by a sudden thick fog. There were screams in the fog, and It's like death is plundering every survivor's life. The player is lost in the foggy forest where he finds a unusual girl talking to him, once encountered the player runs deeper into the forest where he has to find clues about what's going on currently to piece together a story while also finding a way to escape the forest by collecting items and needs to avoid the crisis in the forest. It involves a examination system, inventory, etc. that allowed players to feel that they are actually in the forest. Beware when collecting these items as it may anger the girl and will take your life by force.

Modeled three enemy characters with consideration for different attributes such as the big muscled enemy with slow movement speed, and the small-footed enemy with fast movement speed. Modeled a faceless child and textured with dirt to convey it has been walking around the forest environment. Modeled a big log and boulder for the objects the player could switch positions with. Textured to blend in with the environment but slightly brightened to help player differentiate switchable/non-switchable objects.

During the game development, the player is in a deep foggy forest and their objective is to escape before something happens. Here is a concept of how a player can move when in peril by switching with a object but it's tied to the stamina system and once depleted they have to wait until its recharged. The switching mechanic has a certain distance the player can switch with.

Prototype of our game that features audio cues at the start of the game and when walking through there are options to pick up items and use them for events like the tombstone. As we develop the game there will be more objectives to complete like walking through the lake to collect a certain item. As of now, our team have removed the switching mechanic as it felt out of place to have in the current setting along with the story of why that player has that ability. We have received many comments about our game that users like and disliked and will be further improved in the final game.

After we had introduced the prototype to the class there were great feedback on how to further improve the game but one of the highlights that was mentioned in the prototype was the sound effects that were used to make the game have a creepy feel. In the current state we have updated the player model so it can walk through the terrain more easily, decided to use the girl as the main enemy and updated her looks to have empty eye sockets which was commented in our prototype reveal, objectives around the map, a cemetery, etc.

As our group finishes up with the final release of the game it had updated even more to give the game a complete feel. It has a text dialogue where players can piece together a story with the given clues to find out whats happening in their current situation. Hands coming from the depths of the lake to try and bring you down with them. Certain monuments that guides the player where they should go. Overall, our team feels satisfied about our status of our game but there are improvements to be made. Play our game and see if it gives you a horror vibe and scare you out of your seat.
