WOO!

Finally played through this and I loved it. I played the other demo versions as well so it was cool seeing how it sort of evolved over the year. Are there multiple endings? I know I found the disc but when I put it in the DVD Player, it just says "What Disc?" when you try to play it. So wasn't sure what was up with that. This was really cool though!

Sorry I haven't replied yet!

To Neo-Kevinci: I actually do enjoy the sort of nostalgia for the PS1-era graphics and I was inspired by the Haunted PS1 collection(s) of games. Though I am realizing that I probably don't have to make it a first-person game, especially with the sort of story I'm thinking (though maybe in the future?). Which brings me to...

My reply to anothercastle: I actually did decide to go the route of turning the game into a VN. Much easier to handle as my first project! And maybe in any future projects, I can incorporate more into the gameplay as I learn.

Thank y'all for the words of encouragement and advice! They mean a lot!

Update: After waiting it out a bit, Unity seems to be working now! Not sure what was wrong before, honestly. But at least now I can get some more work done.

Hi, it's nice to meet you all!

As the title says, I'm looking for advice and I am brand-new. I've created personal board games (on a non-professional level) in the past but I've always wanted to try my hand at a video game- especially now that I am between jobs! 

The other night while I couldn't sleep I was struck with inspiration for a First-Person Horror-ish game done in the PS1 style. Very small, very short game that is mostly dialogue. Something small that I can use to learn the basics of actually creating games. My first thought was, well, a lot of the PS1-style games seem to use Unity! So I tried to start there. But, I'm having a LOT of issues even getting it to work. I can't create or open projects and the program just hangs! After fighting with it for about three-four hours I submitted a bug report to Unity and have given up on it for now.

My question now is... What other beginner-friendly game engines would you all recommend for a First Person 3D game with low-resolution graphics?

Side Note: I have also considered tweaking it into a Visual Novel because this first game would be mostly dialogue and dialogue choices in a small setting between two character. But then I would have to consider whether to change the art style and I would potentially need to change any future installments to fit with the first game! That's a lot to think about when I'm still working on trying to learn.

This game is amazing. I wasn't expecting it to be so well-written and funny! Eagerly waiting for future updates.
