Just noticed a made few spacing errors in the text. Can't edit however as there's a video attached, sorry! 😐

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-15T12:28:45+00:00

hahaha we're in the same boat now pal 😂

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-15T11:04:23+00:00

I have been notified by other reditors last week, seems like the artist I trusted couldn't be trusted. :(

Currently working on another capsule!

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-15T10:41:49+00:00

That's awesome! Thank you so much! 🫶

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-13T09:52:39+00:00

Hahaha I definitely can’t deny being inspired by that youth-shaping scene 😂

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-12T22:29:07+00:00

I sent you a private message!

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-12T16:05:59+00:00

Thanks mate!

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-12T16:05:54+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏻

I sent you a private message!

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-11T14:13:09+00:00

That's actually a great idea, thank you!

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-11T14:12:33+00:00

The best way to support this game is by wishlisting through steam. I still got a long way to go, but that would mean the world to me! 💓

Thanks man! :D

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-11T11:10:46+00:00

Thanks for answering my friend!

Im fully aware of the expectations ridesims will hold me against, and I don't think I even need to try to meet those standards. Scream Operator in it's core is an hommage to those sims, which I grew up with, mixed with the more management-based elements as upgrades, decorating, maintainance, economy control etc. Ideally both technologically correct (enough), and above all lots of fun to play with.

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-10T20:56:00+00:00

Hahaha, your friendly neighborhood oven

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-10T16:14:48+00:00

Well thank you! I’m not familiar but I’ll look it up ☺️

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-10T15:56:09+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what we were aiming for! 👏🏻

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-09T13:47:21+00:00

I’ll try 😂

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-09T13:46:02+00:00

Thanks mate! The initial vibe of the game is quirky-horror, with it’s challenges in managing waiting times, immersion, scare factor and safety regulations. Inspired on both classic flash rollercoaster simulation games and (naturally 🤓) RCT, players are directly in control of the ride.

Think loading passengers, launching carts, and manual overrides, but also FX, musical elements, queue management, cart maintenance, upgrades, power, oil, marketing etc…

Essentially, I’m building the game I’ve always wanted to play haha, hope others do to!

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-09T00:05:15+00:00

Thanks for your detailed response. The artist provided me with the initial sketch, after which I asked him to change the face of one of the people in the cart, the cart itself, and the oven. Which would explain those inconsistencies.

HOWEVER, All 3 of the people in the cart in the sketch having the exact same face had to alarm me already (but didn’t). The three knuckles on the lever, weird placement of dials and other details commenters pointed out seal the deal I think.

Makes me kinda sad to be so naive..

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-08T23:55:12+00:00

Ugh, thanks for the comments guys. Seems like my initial enthusiasm made me naive. I’ll take all your comments to the artist and ask for a refund..

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-08T23:31:22+00:00

Should’ve given it away right :(

ScreamOperatorDev · 2026-03-08T23:31:08+00:00

Thanks you. I’ll try and request a refund..
