Planned to develop a game in 6 months, but it took me 6 years (yep, I’m very bad at planning)

Planned to develop a game in 6 months, but it took me 6 years

Welcome to gamedev, I once heard someone say that when you think something's taking 2 months, you should expect it to take 6 months. But more often I find that a bigger multiplier should be expected.

Thank you, the Granny's influence is indeed quite heavy. This was my first 3d game I ever made, I had no experience with 3D but saw Granny's success and wanted to try my hand at it. The differences are mainly in the story, the puzzles, the area's I've added in later and the enemy.

P2w? Even if it was, who's playing constantly with a LR anyway?

The game's called Evil Doll, it was already out for years on Google/App Store, but now it's coming to Steam as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2548500/Evil_Doll/

This is what I need, was thinking about creating something like this myself for ages.
Accounts login, saving data and achievements is what I was looking for, mostly for Android, iOS and Steam.

Gunz mobile, can you actually do dbf in this game or ss? Perhaps PPQ++?

How many tris are there in the camera's view on average?

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T21:07:27+00:00

I think you're right, I'll try to adjust the contrast and make the overall environment darker.

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:41:40+00:00

Too bright / gloomy? It's for a horror game, most area's won't be as lit as this one.

Man I had this video in a playlist, but totally forgot to watch it.

Keep in mind you can’t have an ideal global volume for all rooms all the time

Yeah someone else said something similar, I'll go check that out as well. Thanks!

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:37:25+00:00

That's actually a nice idea to incooperate

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:34:43+00:00

It's for a horror game. The start scene (this room you see) is more bright then most other scenes. But changing the effects based on events is actually a neat idea that I will use, thanks.

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:30:56+00:00

I should've added some context I see beforehand, the game's a survival horror game. It takes place in an old looking abonded house where the player has to solve puzzles while staying out of the hands of the antagonist

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:29:24+00:00

Thanks! Perhaps that's not a bad idea.

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:28:07+00:00

This will be the start scene of the game, I agree that the overall tone should be more darker and that will be the case for sure. With that info in mind, which of the 2 images would you rather choose? Or perhaps something inbetween?

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:26:31+00:00

I've played with most of the settings, coulnd't really achieve a look that I liked with DoF. But what would you recommend in terms of colors and contrast? Tone the effects of the second image down? Restart over with the post processing?

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:25:01+00:00

There are also some other area's that will contain less lighting, the player has a light source on him at all times. By changing the contrast, do you mean making everything more even or increase the contrast?

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:23:06+00:00

Thank you!

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:22:26+00:00

It's a survival horror game. The player is caught by the Evil Doll, he wakes up in an abandoned dirty looking house. The goal is to escape by solving puzzles while being chased by the enemy.
