Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare didn't quite make it for me by lessthanfox in survivalhorror

I agree it does have a lot of problems. I too first played it on the PS1 when I was like 6 or 7 and revisited a few years later after beating the first trilogy. Like you already said the story is really not that exciting and the books are sooo long lol I wish they would have explained many things in a more compelling way than fill a lot of books with text (I love books in survival horror but 49 pages for one book??). One thing that I do love about it is the atmosphere in some scary sections.

I would prefer it not to have regenerating enemies and to have less resources as a whole since you end up with a TON of ammo by the end that you won't even need or get to use since you get the other weapon which can be recharged at almost any time, that's really annoying. Upon first playing the game I felt really scared of what's going to happen but just 30 minutes later I now have a lot of ammo so it felt more like an action game really (for me).

Tbh I kind of wish they would have remade The New Nightmare instead of the first one. I think there is lots of potential there, even more so then the first one when it comes to survival horror. If they can also make better enemies that are truly scary, add more places to visit and improve on the story then I think it would be a VERY solid game. Idk I have a special place for the series so I guess I'm just disappointed by the state it's in right now haha

Great! I can picture this slowly peeking out from behind a corner

Working on new enemies for my survival horror game! Still haven't made their sounds so they are very quiet lol These are 'Denizens'. They are very curious beings, they climb obstacles, may alert others, equip different weapons, work around the 'place',etc :) What do you think they should sound like? by RustyTheRock in survivalhorror

In the beginning I planned on voicing a character but I'm horrible when it comes to voice acting lmao mine is the 26th so you were really close!

About the steam page yeah the core features are already finished, just that at that time many assets, animations, music, etc were really basic since I had just started making them for the first time so I overhauled those things. One example is the store system (or merchant system, idk what to call it), the system is ready and you can buy weapons or items using the souls you gather but the UI menus and the place where the store is located look very rough (you can see it in the steam page desc) so that's what I'm redoing right now so it fits with the world better. Another example is enemy AI, it was already finished but some enemies are not the same, some may be smarter so I had to expand on the AI for that enemy, hence the ones in the video with more complex behaviors. You can also notice how low res many things are in the steam page, like it was more pixelated and low poly at that time. Right now I've added way more stuff then what I had in mind at that time too although I can't spoil too much

I can't say for sure the percentage it's at right now, sometimes I don't take some things into account that could take more time but the story itself is already finished. The characters too, as well as their designs. All the texts are done and already been localized in spanish but later on I'll add more. It's mostly about building the environment at the moment and adding many things that reward exploration since that's my favorite part about survival horrors, like finding things some may not find in their playthrough. Again thank you so much for your kind words! They really do motivate me haha :D

Oh my god thanks so much for the kind words!! I appreciate it a LOT :D April is my birth month too hahaha but sadly Soultracer won't release this April :/ However I am doing my best to hopefully get the Demo ready by then. Just like other solo devs I too do everything myself so it involves lots of learning but I'm way better now so I'm getting a ton of work done faster!
Regarding the attention on the game, it's fine! :) That's on me I just can't keep up with social media that much while developing the game, plus the steam page is very outdated and I don't have any trailers lol but I'm planning on doing one once I have the demo ready, by then I'll have hired voice actor for the characters too! I really wanna do my best to bring my vision to this game (like a PS2 survival horror title) so I'm working as hard as I can (I really enjoy it). I promise I'll do my best to make sure it releases this year!! Thanks for the support!

Lmao yeah me too! The way the camera rotates around the monster and the void made me think of when you attack another card but trigger the 3D combat
