I like how mascot horror is playing a lot with the idea “victim/culprit” Like.. you have clear victims of that body distortion and mind distortion too But also they can become culprits of many terrible things Just like Poppy Chapter 3 I also like the idea of people getting distorted into the mascots. If I made a mascot horror game, I would do something like that

I've always enjoyed the idea of hurt people hurt others. I don't think I'll be able to explore that adequately with Ian himself, seeing as it's the player that decides what he does, but I've got plenty of characters that do just that!

I've been feeling this a lot, too. I've been stubborn on updating my game to URP since it's a little risky, but now that I've got a backup system I think I need to do it. Do you have any recommended tips or videos on lighting? I've been struggling

@@spry6718 I'd be glad to help out! You can simulate darkness (in unlit closed off-areas) using Ambient Occlusion darkens the scene, and you can adjust it to your own liking so that corners of the overall enviorment aren't void-like dark. You can also apply it as a part of baked lighting, although baking lights for lit parts of the scene does require some GPU power. As for the videos, I'm not sure if I can leave links in the comments, would it be easier for me to just give you the title to some videos I believe will help give you more of an understanding on lighting?

(Volume Warning towards the end. It's not too loud, but don't crank the volume all the way up) Insectarium is a Mascot Horror game with puzzles being at the forefront of gameplay. Discover more about the experiments your company has conducted on yourself and countless others as you try to go back home and turn back to normal. The game follows Ian, the author of a comic strip about bugs called It's Buggin' Me. After trying to quit his job, he finds himself a victim of his publisher's attempts at bringing the comic's characters to life. I'd suggest taking a look at my initial devlog (linked in the description) to find out more about this game! While also taking the video lightly, as not only have some things changed, but I also don't fully agree with the way I talked about certain other mascot horror games in that video. More content should be coming up soon as the game gets closer to release. Until then, see you later!

Look, your idea is very interesting, but I think the story is a little too similar to other mascot horrors, I'm not saying you're copying them, but the public might think that, I'm also working on a game and I've already changed his story countless times just to make it different and I still worry about the criticism, so if you could work a little more on the story maybe it would be better.

The game concept sounds exciting, and I'm looking forward to seeing more! I do know that Casting Call Club offers the option, aside from Paid and Unpaid, to have Deferred, where payment is figured out later/once the project is making money/up to the creator of the project. Of course that's more logistic issues, but that could be a happy medium between no voice actors vs paying or the third option of massive rewriting to avoid voice acting over all. Best of Luck!

If you're planning on using professional voice actors, maybe not? I know there are people (like myself) who aren't professional voice actors but would be quite happy to help with passion projects, the only issue with that is that you get Banban's voice quality issues if you don't know how to overcome the issues of the audio. So it's honestly a mixed bag unless you get lucky with a couple of voice actors that are competent at what they do and are more than glad to help you for free starting out either way, I'm excited to see how this turns out
@spry67184 ай бұрын
I think I'm a bit worried about audio quality. But I'm mostly just worried about hiring people for free due to the ethics of it.

For the voice-acting dilemma: Why not hire them now, & pay them later, Like an I.O.U. of sorts? Tell them you can't pay them now, but you will when the game releases. You get the voice acting in the first chapter, & you pay the voice actors; Win-Win! Of course, there is a bit of risk with this approach, but what can you do? You just earned yourself a subscriber, this sounds like quite the interesting game!
