Having a limb ripped off would send most people into shock in minutes, having 3 at the same time is going to kill you almost instantly.

I don't know if perhaps this might be a little too small, but it would be really cool if the parasite would crawl on the character model towards the brain, similar to the health bar in Dead Space. Might make it a bit more immersive.

I think player model would look less silly if a portion of the missing limbs was still attached. It wouldn’t change the gameplay but it would make it seem more believable.

Having the shotgun propel you backwards a bit would be cool, could mesh well with any slippery sections you may add (I can also imagine it being used in speedruns, if that's something you'd want to cultivate).

[@kevinsheedy6382]

That's such a sick idea actually how would you beat the game though is the only thing

[@Troll_main]

add something that gives you infinite ammo of a certain type, like a ammo box station or something. so if you need to use your shotgun shells to get through a level you dont need to worry about running out

[@kevinsheedy6382]

​@@Troll_main Well as he said in the video in horror games you want to feel like you are extraordinarily weak and can't do anything against the threat ,so being loaded up with ammo like its Call of Duty would ruin the point of the game and make it more of an action game than a horror game which is what the intent was ,but if it was targeted to be an action game that's a good idea.

[@olivevento6478]

Or at least let it throw your sim off a lot. I think throwing you backwards would make it too cartoonish but if you shoot and then you need to re aim completely just adds to the fact of how helpless you really are. Plus it makes sense since you only have on arm. OR 1/5 chance for the gun to fly out your hands

[@Overposting]

YOU'RE CONTINUING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS GAME YES the original video had me craving for more, this concept has so much potential i love it

[@ryanhutchinson4467]

Definitely. Not only does playing as a triple amputee limit the player’s mobility and make the game scarier by making them feel helpless, it also puts players in the shoes of a disabled person, giving them a glimpse of these people’s everyday struggles. What a fantastic idea for a video game. Not only could this be a unique and exciting indie game for survival horror fans like myself, but it could also potentially raise awareness for people with physical disabilities. My mom suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a disorder where your own body’s immune system starts attacking your nervous system. When that happens, you basically become paralyzed, and so she was confined to a hospital bed, not even able to swallow solid food, so they had to feed her through a tube. For a while it seemed like she was going to die, but thankfully she survived. It took several weeks of physical therapy for her to be able to walk again, and she had to use a walker to help her when she got out of the hospital. The doctors never thought she’d ever regain full motor function in her legs, but they were wrong. She persevered and she made a full recovery. It’s a miracle that she wasn’t dependent on that walker for the rest of her life, and it makes me very happy to know that she was did that, but there are a lot of people out there who weren’t as fortunate as she was. There are thousands of people with paralyzed or missing limbs who struggle like my mom did every day. I have seen first hand just how painful that can be, and if there’s even the slightest chance that this game can help bring awareness to this issue, then I wholeheartedly want to support this project in any way that I can.

Idk how to make a comment that he can see but, it would be hella cool if he made a game mode in which a creature constantly followed you, and you could somehow sense it, increasing the tension of the setting.

[@edgard142ndofwelshdale7]

I would absolutely love seeing blood trail out behind the character as you move. It could even interact with enemy AI by having them follow them follow your blood trails, or could help you from becoming lost. Or, what if for some reason, there's a blood trail that's not your own in a maze section to confuse you? To do this you could just move the ironing your wounds part from the beginning to later on in the game. I think it would be really amazing.

I've got a couple of ideas: 1. I think that the flares should illuminate the surroundings a bit more strongly, as they seem very underpowered in that aspect. 2. I'd be careful about the puzzles, as puzzles have partially ruined several otherwise great games that I've played before. It can be done though. 3. I can't stop you from releasing it before Halloween, but I'd advise that you take as much time as you need because rushed games rarely turn out well. Looks very promising!

[@gunseekers]

I definitely agree with the flares aspect and also think they should not only be brightened, but maybe even create a lasting projectile that stays on the ground and continues to light up the area after it is fired. Also I think complex puzzles are fine for optional sections but not for solely gameplay progression. The roadblocks in just main story progression should probably only be boss fights instead of puzzles in my opinion.

I can share an idea: A first person game where your character suddenly lost all the senses but you manage to turn it back on one by one, first can only see (and push stuff with nose or head), then can only operate one arm, then another, then one leg, then full body. Game will have puzzle elements and you mix medications or build prosthetics to restore bodily functions one by one.

What I like about this video is it highlights just how many hurdles you face trying to accomplish what seems like a really simple thing... and how game engines have a habit of getting in your way whenever you're doing something they don't expect. The first 5 minutes of this video summarises weeks (maybe months) of work, struggles, and relentless determination, just to get nice shadows and FoW. Bravo though, it's looking really good!

Perhaps something related to an enemy who cannot see the player, but can hear them (kinda like the Warden from Minecraft).

I don't know about which background music you already have, but from personal experience, good (and interactive to environment) tracks are pretty important to create a scary atmosphere.

[@erddtraphaell6116]

The tracks shoudn't mimick enemy noises though, or at least be distinct enough. Resident Evil 4 combat music in the castle was so needlessly stressful because part of the track, some low whispering and singin, sounded a lot like the noise zombies' make, low whispering and singing.

[@JustARegularPlayer]

I can only think of firing the flare gun on an empty space or throwing a bullet casing, like from Battlefield 1.

[@flydrop8822]

One thing I like about this game is that in many media with zombies/mutants, the monsters are much stronger and agile than regular humans to crank up the tension, which most of the time doesnt make sense since they are all sick and broken in many different ways. Here though, its pretty obvious the mutants are not super strong and agile, in fact they are all pretty slow and not very tough, a regular person would probably take care of them easily with guns. However, the character is in such a weak and vulnerable state by having lost 3 limbs and having a parasite inside of him that such weak monsters pose a great threat. It's surprinsingly realistic for a survival horror situation that the monsters are so weak and having the protagonist be even weaker is such a creative and interesting way to add tension to it.

[@Estyl_]

wow love the reloading. not only makes the game more tense in tougher parts but its kinda realistic too.

[@ryanhutchinson4467]

This game looks freaking amazing! What a unique and interesting concept for a horror game!

I love immersive sims that give your multiple ways to deal with situations. The ability to squish enemies in doors would be a cool mechanic. Also the ability to throw decorative items to stun enemies might also be interesting. I really like games that give you all the control they can and make you figure out how to deal with situations. If you’re in a lab there is bound to be chemicals about that you can throw at enemies. System Shock has a research mechanic that buffs your damage by researching organs, but that might be going too deep into RPG territory

Also a melee option could be fun, maybe even just using your hand to punch as a last resort? 😅

[@sebastianturner2458]

Even if it basically does no damage at all, I think just having the option to punch would do a great job to keep the player engaged even if they're out of ammo - gotta give them a chance (even a tiny one) so they don't just give up.

[@Mikeplays2020]

At certain points in the game make the the monster in the beginning appear as a large mutated monster that you have to sneak past, and maybe potentially make it the final boss that engages a chase scene that ends with you trapping in a airlock killing it. -fire extinguisher could be used to propel yourself or to blind a monster maybe spray it so the monster can’t see you -knife, can be used to kill rats or push monster off of you - new enemies -jumper will jump on you tackling you you have to use the knife to stab it the death otherwise it kills you

Really cool project and progress. About keeping the player always stressed out: remember that sometimes more is less. Making the player face enemies without end is just annoying at some point and makes them get used to it. Also instead of putting down a bunch of dangerous situations, sometimes hinting towards danger with nothing actually happening for a bit is a lot more stressful overall.

[@tacosaladone22one]

It would be cool if u could regain ur limbs by defeating bosses. Like the monsters that stole ur limbs and swallowed them and u have to kill them to get them back. After defeating them u have to take ur limb to a bio technic reconstruction center (which is randomly spawned on the next level after u got ur limb) IOT reconstitute yourself. Over time and after beating multiple bosses you can re attach ur limbs, however this doesn't necessarily give u the full mobility a normal human does. Instead u have the ability to pick certain "perks" when u re attach ur limbs. U could have the ability to kick stun enemies when u have one leg attached. Reduced recoil, reload speed and an increased ability to pull urself when u gain ur arm back. The different and varying combinations could make a really cool Rouge like. Also I would recommend going for some more realistic player noises in terms of pain. Escape from tarkov captures this well.
