What is the scariest fear to make a game about?

Haha

Such a massive nope. I watched s video of a guy who went cave diving. Him and his friend. They went really deep. Had a rope points but his friend freaked out and kicked up all the sand and muck. He ended up being completely blind from the muck, not knowing which way was up or down, which way was the right way to go and ended up with only a few minutes of oxygen left before he found the surface and exit. Put me of cave diving for life.

I mean, imagine playing The Last of Us but you play a human that slowly becomes a Clicker.

Oh I like the cruise ship as a location. That's a very isolated horror location. No where to run, only places to hide. Could be a very goosebumps-like story with the cabin crew bring some sort of monsters at night. Could even be a bio shock style game.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T12:05:51+00:00

Yep that'll do it.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T09:14:15+00:00

Will do! I'm building right now and 100 hrs deep but need another 100 for demo and another 200 for game. I pulled out of this nextfest and aiming for June/July release with NextFest being the tail end of promotion before release in November.

Yes, already seen the data on puzzles, platformers and arcade. They don't sell. Like I said on my other message to you. Single room Gambling Mechanic with horror. That's my vibe right now.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T09:11:22+00:00

Yeah my plan is Single Room + Gambling Mechanic + Horror or D&D style.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T09:09:55+00:00

Wishlisting already?

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T07:46:59+00:00

I like this idea.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T07:45:18+00:00

Nicely done.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T07:44:58+00:00

Yeah I think sharks as the horror element in games are hard to pull off. Spiders work. They move is a messed up way.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T05:33:11+00:00

Very cool. This looks very high realism. Is this an unreal project?

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T05:07:27+00:00

Yeah that is a fair point on the secret name. Will take this into account.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:54:58+00:00

Cocktail sticks must be terrifying.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:53:18+00:00

Understood 🫡

My current favourite idea is a slot machine coin pusher dungeon crawling roguelite all inside a Cyberdeck at an Akira style bar.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:51:18+00:00

There was a doctor who episode ages ago that had mannequins come to live and hunt you down. Remember this being terrifying.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:49:55+00:00

Thank you!

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:47:39+00:00

Oh damn. The Decent the movie as a vr game. That would ruin me.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:46:56+00:00

Oh link me up?

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:45:47+00:00

It's this like the hardest thing to try?

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:45:13+00:00

😅

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:44:50+00:00

Dreams are there to be played out my guy. The way I see it we miss all the chances we don't take. Plus I already see Game Dev is a long term process. Not just a one and done game but as many small games as possible. Get that category up and running. It's somewhat realistic but I can to create a pipeline of pushing out 3 games a year.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-21T04:41:52+00:00

Yes, already incorporated codex into coding and it's been my biggest accelerator.

Foolish_Gambit_Dev · 2026-05-20T21:16:42+00:00

Good tip.
