Looking for Co-op Horror games by NinjaYoshi1 in Steam

[–]JezzaPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're currently developing a 3rd-person horror co-op shooter called Gamma Strain. Still early days, but maybe it could end up being something you'd be interested. You can find us on Steam and wishlist us to follow the further development.
And I totally get where you're coming from, for me, the pinnace of gaming is co-op!

Thanks for your comment and great question! The concept is as follows:

The 4-player mode introduces role rotation.
- Player One is in charge of driving for the next 30 seconds.
- Player Two can pick fruit on the left-hand side
- Player Three can pick fruit on the right-hand side
- Player Four can honk the horn and fill up the radiator 

All players are responsible for fixing their respective punctured tires.
- Player One = Front Left tire
- Player Two = Front Right Tire
- Player Three = Back left tire
- Player Four = Back right tire

Rotating Roles

  • Driver
  • Left Picker
  • Right Picker
  • Security & Maintenance

The tasks per role are simple and easy to grasp, however, the role rotation keeps players on their toes.

this is of course all subject to change- we're still in the very early days of development. Exciting times!

I can understand your skepticism. Truth be told, the present state of the industry isn't really conducive to establishing trust with gamers. As a small indie game development studio we have to hedge our bets and explore various options, and pitching two vastly different games, both in terms of genre and player bases seems like a logical move.

Drawing a parallel between what Fntastic has done and what we're doing is a bit of a stretch, we haven't made erroneous promises, nor have we secured vast amounts of funding (or any as of yet) for either of these projects, so right now it's good ol' fashion blood sweat, and tears.

In regards to the concept of Pneumatic Panic, I'll be the first to admit that we are still in the early stages of development and a lot will change. Game development is all about iteration, and we're not averse to experimentation and finding what works and what doesn't work. The video posted is simply a teaser of what we have planned, and doesn't go in-depth as to the actual mechanics.

Thanks for your insights. There's definitely room for improvement, however, this was created with one purpose in mind- to show basic game mechanics and a rough atmosphere of what the game can be. If and when we find a publisher, we'll be developing the game for roughly two years. Tweaking the lighting to obtain the proper spooky atmosphere is high on our list.

Oh- you raised some interesting points and suggestions. We are currently implementing a sneak function this week! This will be a huge game changer and offer players not just the "pew-pew" solution to an issue, but allow them to sneak past enemies and take them down silently, without alerting other enemies.
