What a long and productive day it's been, at least by my standards. Just got done with one jam and right into another, but I feel excited rather than exhausted. Perhaps I simply enjoy this theme more, especially considering the season. I don't generally play a lot of horror games and can probably count the ones I've finished on one hand (Shadows of the Damned, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, perhaps one day I'll finish Chulip...does Deadly Premonition really count?) but I love watching others play in order to experience the stories. With the recent Silent Hill 2 remake being released, I realized just how much I adore the original and wanted to make something of my own in the same vein. I'm sure it won't be as good, and there are other inspirations such as Junji Ito's works at play here, but I think these ideas are just as good to spring off of.
I don't even have a name in mind yet but I'm sure it will come. Most of today has been spent on assets, mostly art as I feel it's my strong suit, but learning my lesson from my previous endeavor, I've made sure to spend some time on other aspects as well in hopes that this will be more balanced and actually include everything I plan to. This is pretty much the culmination of today's work, kind of duct taped together as it is. I don't want to spoil too much in the coming days, so I'll have to design around that.
