well putting that in the end of the game is a bad idea (mid game would be better) but enemy marines and the mutants can make some very interesting combat scenarios, since they are trained marines you would have to always outsmart them instead of just blindly shooting them like the mutants and by outsmarting them I mean like catching them by surprise or sneaking past them (or infighting like you said)

The interactive inventory is really great. I could see a similar system come up for puzzle doors which require you to manually turn knobs or put it keycodes or pry loose vents etc. All great survival horror games are usually puzzle games as well and you've made such a great interactive menu system which would work perfectly for that. horror+puzzles work well together because the puzzles act as reason to go through that spooky hallway again, and maybe on the way through that hallway for the 3rd time something small happens like a chandelier falls or something has changed or a straight up jump scare gets you. Lot's of opportunities to squeeze out dread and horror when your trying to solve multi room puzzles

[@MrMoustouche]

[@ParaFox404]

Absolutely want this

[@lorenzpacis3249]

Puzzles are also great pacing in horror in general. Although, since this may be a short game, I guess this game can get away with neverending scary corridors & combat.

[@dragontear1638]

Not only all that, and they're really cool ideas too, is you can use puzzles to give rewards for the effort, which can help make survival easier, but act as potentially risky situations themselves by making you take your eye off the monsters.

[@Peluceus]

This is top tier

[@addaxi]

I really do like the touches of the visual alerts for rats, and the idea of speed = sound. It makes "quiet" gameplay much more accessible for those with hearing issues. Loving these dev-logs, I can't wait for release!

[@LaughingMan44]

The crossbow reload is hilarious, really creative. A little feedback on the gunshots: gunshots sound very different indoors vs. outdoors. Could be more immersive to add at least a good bit of reverb. I'm not sure it would fit your game, but you could also temporarily muffle the audio after firing a gun to simulate how loud they are.

[@lavenderpaint7727]

Maybe there could be some bullet reflection if it hits certain materials or something, like the sound idk

Considering how the resource management is already working, that might be too lenient. The other four weapons are all highly punishing and force you to tread carefully, and the crossbow in particular, the only other stealth weapon, is very slow. It would have to be a weak option. Like, a pistol shot but at melee range with similar cooldown, just so that humanoids can still get a lick in before being knifed.

[@mothbott9461]

As you explore the mayan ruins you'll come across artifacts that can let you climb walls, break certain boulders and so on, allowing you to explore more areas.

The progress you're making is absolutely fantastic, I can't wait to see the final product

[@danielpierre4684]

Stealth Suggestions: -Everytime you cough up blood, you create a sound that alerts people within the building. This can be countered by finding a 'gas-mask' within the facility (something rare within this part of the game, but later on that may be vital for other areas), throwing a random piece of ammo on the floor to cover it, or by trying to cover it, with the cost of taking more health. -You can see when you're about to cough up bloox by a small bar near the side of the parasite, allowing you to take an educated guess of when you should do the countermeasures. -There are varying types of blood-coughs, ranging from light, to harsh, to heavy, and to 'Dire'. Each take a larger bit of health from the player, and hopefully makes item-looting and survival more of a prominent goal to the player. Dire-cough is the only one that applies vision-blur, while the rest only deals small chunks of damage. Item/Area Suggestions: a) Adrenaline Stim: As the name says. Does a small passive boost of speed at the cost of passive health drain, but some of the health is immediately regained at the end of its use. Might be useful for a chase-scene, and also doesn't give back health when hit. b) Upgrade Station: With there being random drops OR loot on the ground the player can pick up, the player can use these materials in a rare/secret part of the level, where the ycan upgrade weapons. Each weapon has its resulting downside, eg more flash-light = farther-ranged enemy tracking, more damage = more sound, etc. Enemy Suggestions: -Ceiling Creeper: Utilizing fast-movement detection for its tracking, and usually within long hallways, it shoots acid to wherever it detects movement. Is detectable when you see a slight glow of eyes moving across the floor. You can 't fight it, you can only crawl from it -

[@SilverFoxeGames]

I have two suggestions that might be cool to implement in the game: the first one is to have wall objects like keypads or card sliders, and the other is for larger rooms or perspectives that increase your field of view. I know what some might think about the first thing, “How is it gonna be remotely realistic for the badass one-limbed man to reach something on a wall when he is stuck on the ground?” Well, one way that could happen is if there is a special prompt that allows you to prop yourself up to rest your back against a wall or to reach higher up things, though you won’t be able to reach very far. That way, you are able to reach up for things instead of being limited to the ground, albeit by using up time and effort to do so, allowing for some risk VS reward with it. For the second thing, having a further perspective in a larger room would allow for the player to get a grander scale of how big their new play area is, and to make for some cool and easier boss arenas or panicked escape room action, like the scenes you sometimes see in the game House Of The Dead. The further sight thing could also be tied into the propping yourself up thing, as it could help you see further, reduce recoil of guns, and aim better in certain situations if you have the time to set yourself up. I hope that you see these ideas, and that they might be ones that could improve your game

[@ParaFox404]

I actually really like the idea of being able to prop up against a wall, better field of view and maybe even fire at enemies, could adjust the character to have stumps for legs to actually prop up, useless in game just to make it less goofy lookin in general and then weapons that can only be loaded while sitting like this against a wall, or at least make it easier to load weapons in that position The idea of complex interactions, like turning door knobs or sliding keycards is also neat and since weapons have positions now, something is to be said for classes, and different choices you can make, leaving things behind etc the potential mechanics and depth for a game lile this is super fun to think about that being said I also like the state its in now fairly simple and easy to understand suits it

[@SilverFoxeGames]

@@ParaFox404 yeah, simplicity is usually a good way to go, so I honestly wouldn’t mind if the game doesn’t go much further than what it currently looks like plus the story they are going to add

The stealth mechanics for this game were perfect, they come in at just the right time where in this game where your only movement option is to drag yourself with one hand, that you're _finally_ really getting good at it, only to be stopped in your tracks and really think about what you're doing, while still having to be quick to draw your very slow but silent weapon.

Some suggestions that I have for the game is that the flare gun could have some other uses other than damaging enemies. I'm thinking that in the continuation (if it will have the same kind of gameplay), you could use the flare gun to light up flammable objects. This could be used to deter enemies from approaching you if used in certain ways. I'm also thinking that this could be used in rooms with very dim to pitch black darkness to light up the room to heighten visibility. Maybe this could be used in a maze?

[@lowtzechien5308]

An idea to throw in, actually, more like trying to flesh out other's idea. The knife. It would be great to have a melee weapon in this game. Knives are stealth weapon meant to be used to backstab your enemies. It'll be cool if hitting enemies unaware to your presence deal more damage, and otherwise it deals less damage. The knife can also be used to access places otherwise inaccessible. I would like the player using some tools they have on them to solve puzzles too instead of simply being weapons or a syringe. But the problem is knives have infinite use and resource management is a huge part of this game. So I'll add resource management to the knife. Knives have sharpness, and you will pick up the knife along with a whetstone. The more you use the knife, the weaker the damage, until you cannot kill a mutated rat in 1 slash anymore. You need to sharpen after many use, but sharpening creates loud noises. Maybe add a limit on sharpening too, like how much undiscovered space/pixels you need to discover before you can sharpen again because sharpening a knife too much shortens the lifespan so your character consciously stop sharpening too much. Add an indicator to the knife so the player can see how much sharpness the knife has TL;DR Knife is stealthy, needed for some puzzles, has very high damage when hitting enemies oblivious to your presence, not as much when the enemy has discovered you. It can get blunt and needs sharpening. Sharpening creates loud noise and you need to discover enough undiscovered spaces before you can resharpen again

As someone who works in maintenance irl, I feel like it would be a really cool idea to have objects to hide under. Depending on the place, these rooms can get *messy*, full of carts, tables and other things to hide in or under if your literally half of a man. Hidden areas off to the side with items in them would be normal. I have a small hidden break place myself that I hide in from time to time behind an air handler. A good few ideas could be the ducts of vents, or even have pipes that go high enough to crawl under, but the monsters cant get past easily.

Would be cool to have some small objects lying around on the floor you need to avoid knocking around so you don't alert enemies, maybe allow the player to grab and throw them to lure enemies away. Anyway I'm loving these videos! Amazing work on the game, can't wait to play it!

[@impctagent]

This game looks sick, I cant wait to play it

[@boxhead505]

I recommend for the gunshot sounds shooting in a small indoor range, amplify the echo, you dont want any sound absorbing since the character is in a small enclosed lab.

[@DaArcaneNinja]

I'm so glad I found this game. It's so unique at a time where I felt nothing was original. I loved how much my imagination was running from such a short, simple, and mysterious game. GOTY imo.

[@omg_its_h]

the fact that the sounds are all self recorded is very obvious and actually really impacts the immersion for me, it's mainly about the sounds being the exact same each time, and you can clearly hear when the sound cuts off, so maybe try pitching the sound a bit randomly each time, and maybe record some sounds that have a gradual end, but for the rest it looks absolutely amazing! great job so far

[@django5055]

You should add the weight, the more you carry the slower you can drag yourself across the room

[@dinofreak01]

Can’t wait to play this game! Such a neat concept that relates your real movements with what goes on screen. Just brilliant!

[@blitzwolf4052]

suggestion: you should add a "platforming" section at the end of the game in which you have to navigate through a tight space were walls deal damage (maybe not) and you are being pursued by a mutated snake. it would be a testament to the players grasp of controls, letting only experienced players through

[@syt1c]

I suggest adding medical stuffs to heal instead of auto recovering, then we can have a lot of things like bleeding (character will start to bleed when hit), painkillers (stop the bleeding temporary), anti-septic cream (stop the bleeding entirely), bandages (heal up)

[@Duded3t]

Bandages also stop bleeding tho

[@CyanBoomer]

Imagine a 3d first person version of this. Fumbling around with reloading while huge monsters are chasing you. That would be so scary.

[@NIKEONXX]

YO, every new video is even crazier I LOVE this project

[@baller2912]

Game actually looks pretty fire

[@thejonatan._]

I just beat this game like 20 minutes ago, and have been looking at these videos again. I just want to say it was a great game, super unique, I haven't seen anything like it, and it was really great to play! It was an experience to behold. I liked the final boss, but I felt like it should have dragged on a little longer. Idk I guess I am used to long draining boss fights. I want to comment on after the final boss fight, but I do not want to spoil it

[@ProgrammedPersona]

every new update i see from you on this channel, this game gets creepier and creepier! I can already tell that playing this would be goddamn terrifying, I LOVE it

[@ddwgaming9512]

I don’t even know how you could make it imma sub

[@catguycool.1020]

I have a suggestion! For death scenes 1. If your time runs out and the parasite reaches your brain the man will begin to scream in agony before his head explodes...only to reveal his brain stepping out of his skull...with six legs... 2. If a zombie kills you they will rip your final arm off the man will scream wiggling around helplessly before the screen slowly blacks out to crunchy chewy gory sounds... 3. If a rat kills you they will leap onto your back and start eating you while other rats join while you helplessly scream as the screen blacks out... Enemy idea similar to stealth add a scalpel, the knife can be used if out of ammo and in a emergency, won't deal much damage but will stun the enemy long enough to escape/reload. One use and can be found in medical/surgical parts of the lab. Carried in a little belt with a capacity of 3 knifes. Add a crafting system. If you find medicine and syringes you can craft a health vile. You simply need to pour one vial into the other, shake it put the needle to the cup and pull on the stick, bam you crafted a health kit. Add different ammo types for guns. Add incendiary shotgun shells lighting the enemy on fire for bonus damage and visibility. You will need to add alcohol and a rag on the bullet to make it flammable. Add whistling arrows that whistle as the fly to distract blind enemies, or a rock. possibly add a head light later game during really dark areas of the game. Needs batteries to work. Add safe rooms You can take shelter in them craft and figure out portable puzzle and save the game, on a computer but you need batteries to save a long with a lab table carrying one syringe and 2 medicine vials to not save lock yourself. Add a bleed out mechanic, add a second small hp bar next to the parasite bar that is a iv blood bag. Taking damage will open wounds on the man making you bleed. More open wounds will drain the IV bag faster. If it runs out you will have bleed to death resulting in a game over. You need to manually stitch open wounds and bandage them to stop bleeding. While no wounds are there you will slowly gain back blood. If to many wounds are open you will leave a blood trail wich enemy can follow wich will not allow you to escape. New enemy type idea explosive mutant lab bunnies. They will hop around loudly giving you a audio que when they are near. Upon detecting you they will leap at you giving you 3 secs to drag yourself away before they explode. If your fast enough you can shoot them before they get near stopping the explosion. Another enemy type, spider brains. Those infected with the parasite unfortunately died after they're brains grew legs and escaped...however they now pose a threat. They slowly move around squishing and squelching and leave a pink trail. Upon spotting you they will slowly waddle to you. If you shoot them for 1 damage they explode into half now two medium sized spider brains. Shooting again will split them in 3 and then they're fully dead. New weapon idea, uzi. Rapidly shoots bullets stored in clips that consume the same space as shotgun shells each containing 20 rounds. Useful against spider brains. Upon time after a brain escapes a scientist it begins to mutate further till it turns into a wing flying acid spitting projectile brain. They take 10 damage and explode acid when they die wich is harmful to crawl on. I think the man's name should be Craf inse. The lab on the asteroid was experimenting how to cure cancer with toxic materials. After horrifically failing on a monkey it super mutates and brutalizes everyone immiting works the size of pythons that infiltrate hosts by burrowing into thier digestive system through thier mouth. During the chaos the monkey destroys the holding cells of the failed experiments releasing the nightmares you are fighting now. You get caught in the middle of it and and after the worm finally gets down your throat you realize your surrounded by the freaks...your limbs get torn off. You manage to narrowly escape by dragging your self to the first aid station and proceed to burn your wounds shut you try to radio for help off the corpse in their but find out the monkey damaged the communications system leaving you stranded and alone...the only method of survival now is to get to the operation room to extract the parasite and then evacuate with a escape pod. The only problem..it's three floors down with each one containing horrifying deadly nightmarish monsters...good luck. Phew that's a essay right there...this is a amazing game keep up the good work! Hope one of my ideas gets used... You are amazing! Wish I could program games like this. Hope I helped good luck! Cant wait to get the full version of this!

[@kelpstorm]

one small change i thought of would be editing the save system so theres a set number of save slots available for the player (e.g. 10 slots). theyd all be available from the start of course. even time the player saves it pauses and they select which slot theyd like to save to. if all the slots have save data on, theyd pick a slot to be overwritten with their current save data. the goal of this would be limiting the number of saves to stop it from becoming such a large number that its impossible to navigate saves and takes up lots of memory for no real reason D: buuuut also allowing them the multiple saves to load from to stop them getting softlocked c: idk if this would actually be feasible but i thought id suggest it anyway! (was gonna post this on the other video but thought youd be more likely to see it here lol)

[@northenerboi5536]

You could add interactable lamps but they require you to hold onto it all the time but at the cost of lighting up the place around it, could work with some cool puzzles like codes where you cant see the code unless you turn the light on so it gives you enough range of vision to see the code, a small roadblock, you could also add save stations in a way cry of fear did it where you need to find tape recorders or something of that kind for a difficulty, or make it a main feature of the game.

[@beloutrenapd2592]

One thing that was already said in z comment on the last video so i'm just gonna suggest it again because i thought this was such a good idea is that at the beginning of the game, you play a bit with all your limbs (like a tutorial or just to set the story up by moving in a lab or something) and then the monsters take them, because it will be a greater shock to loose them if you were already used to them and you thought the game will be played like that

[@janthegamedev]

i dont know how you could implement this idea into the game but you could add a mental health bar. So if the player kills a lot of enemies the bar goes up and something will happen. just a random thought i thought would be nice to share. Great Devlog and i love the artstyle. Its so unique good job

[@Денис-ъ5ш6к]

First seconds of gameplay and I want to buy the game. Damn, dude, you are genius, It doesn't looks like anything. Idea and it is all so perfect. Suspense
