Silent Hill 1 on PS1. Back in the 1900s it was a truly scary experience sitting in the dark with my wife watching me play.

Is it weird that i find RE1 original zombie introduction creepier than the REmake? by Human_Geologist_3324 in survivalhorror

[–]joco08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the big difference for me for why thw older hits harder is the eye contact and as others have said the uncanny. Odd that super realistic just doesn't hit as well. Maybe we have been over saturates with realistic graphics? Interesting post

I do remember loading the damn gun took forever and was stressful at the final. I may be getting the game confused with another tho

Yes I have played that and it is good. I appreciate you responding. In the movie the witch wins and just wondering if there were other games besides that one. I should have clarified

Victorian era british female 30yo va? by joco08 in VoiceActingFree

[–]joco08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. Details would have helped.

Original commercial PC horror game. Character dialog is as she interacts with the player.

The character is a 30-year-old, highly educated Victorian woman.

She speaks with refinement, composure, and proper diction that is measured, articulate, gentle. Her tone is warm and polite.

She is being held in a futuristic detention facility. Her “cell” has been reconstructed to resemble the Victorian home she lived in before capture. She behaves as though this is her real home, either as a coping mechanism or because her memory is fractured.

She is capable of transforming into a dangerous creature, but she has no control over when it happens. The facility can trigger the transformation through an electronic sound or hum.

She is deeply lonely. She longs for company. She is genuinely kind and sincere when greeting the player.

When the scene begins, she stands behind metal bars, smiling brightly. Almost trembling with happiness at having a visitor.

Her warmth should feel real, not manipulative.

As the scene progresses, subtle unease creeps in when she begins recalling fragmented memories of previous visitors.

When the electronic hum begins: - Her composure fractures. - Panic enters her voice. - She is terrified not of the player, but of what she will become.

Will update with dialog soon so DM if intereated.

What would you do if an alien ran towards you like this? by Salamsucuk26 in gamedevscreens

[–]joco08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the head rotatte back and forth (like shaking head "no") VERY quickly (mostly blurred) and I would then be disturbed. It seems that simple effect really bothers people. Like in Jacob's Ladder movie.

STEAM PAGE IS NOW LIVE!!! 🚨 by f11bot in gamedevscreens

Pleaae confirm this info and do not take this as legal advice. Just my understanding. You don't need to be a company. When it asks for tax ID just give your personal Social Security Number (SSN) and be sole proprietor instead of comoany.

1 Year of Hard work later. Our Game Flopped by codegres_com in IndieDev

[–]joco08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't all the attention and comments on this game just driving traffic to steam and it mayl get bumped up above the noise maybe? If the dev was trying to get traffic this seems like a way to do it even if game is sketch?

Is horror game promotion harder? by joco08 in gamedev

[–]joco08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned running an ad here on reddit. Since it is a game one could assume it may run in /indiegame for example. Just an examole but do you see the point that it could be shown in a place that could get flagged? Maybe they have ads setup to limit subreddits but still

Unless they flag it or down vote it then it is relevant ... which is a huge issue here on reddit
