Love horrors.
Definitely nailed the horror feel. The sound when turning around really creeped me out lol
wow this great, run smoothly on my ubuntu, and really like how the render system work (but when I do run, the render is a bit late to render my front wall and plate)
unfortunately I can't play the game to long (to creepy from me, I have disable the jumpscare too)
I limited rendering around player thinking there is a limitation of Defold and that's how I should optimize, but it turned out I had other kind of bug - In fact, when I create and leave the whole area it still runs smoothly, so creating area around player in some limited range is unnecessary and Defold still runs it well! :D
Very cool style and atmosphere! I have no clue what to do though. I collected a couple of papers and saw a scary monster (visual effect was really cool) but I backed up and then never saw it or another one again. Found a lot of the outer walls and ran around but didn't find anything else to do.
Vero good atmosphere. But i have no idea what to do)
I collect first paper. But i can't find more papers. And arrow show outside of the area.
There is a bug with papers, I fixed it and it is pushed on Github, I will try to release an update after voting and perhaps build a HTML5 version too! :D
Congratulations on the successful implementation of the scary atmosphere! It really works, although I immediately disabled the scary jumps :D
Great visual result, really! Didn’t experience any tech problems, on macOS with M1 everything works ok. Also, nice to see the use of familiar extensions!
But how many notes do I have to collect? My counter went into negative number :)
You have to go to -infinity xD No kidding, it must be a bug, I already noticed that already collected papers are respawned anyway, so I'm trying to fix it ;)
cool game but crashs on my linux mint good graphics maybe with some more 3d rendering improvement by defold the game will run better and with better graphics
Thank you so much for reporting! The issue is found, there was a memory leak and thanks to Defold community I fixed it in a moment. New version is uploaded!
On Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) game eats all RAM+SWAP and hangs the whole system :)) Looks scary.
Thank you so much for reporting! The issue is found, there was a memory leak and thanks to Defold community I fixed it in a moment. New version is uploaded! I tested it on Ubuntu 20.04 and it looks like there are no more crashes and RAM is barely touched
Overall a nice little horror game! It unfortunately kept crashing for me. Occasionally I would just catch a glimpse of the monster in the distance just blending into the trees, that was really creepy. It's always nice to see people push into 3D with Defold!
