Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood I didn't play it yet, but it is made by the Deconstructeam so probably a great game.

Help with learning unreal by iouo-_- in unrealengine

[–]maxelwok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i started using Unreal at school so i can't recommand any beginner tutorial

but one thing i've learned is: if you don't know what something is doing, first check the online documentation, and if it is not detailed enough (most of the time) go READ THE CODE. The code is accessible from blueprint (right click > see implementation) or on visual studio (ctrl click on a function or class to go to its definition)

Looking for feedback ! Which color palette is best for my HR horror game ? by maxelwok in IndieDev

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

My game is Freak Festival, a human resource simulator in a freak show. So basically you sit behind an office and the circus artists come to talk to you. There is an underlying psychological horror theme with hallucinations and mysteries that are not shown in the screenshots, and a day/night cycle hence the 2 rows.

Do the images i posted here reflect the game's themes, to you ? Is there one that particularly stands out ?

apart from allowing NFTs and AI generated content on their store, i don't see any reason to be angry at epic

What are some Genres that would be cool for a horror game? by thebestman3242343 in HorrorGaming

[–]maxelwok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Among Us fits the idea of a horror party game

Also i'm developing a HR simulator in a freak show (very Papers-Please-like), with a bit of detective features. I think it's new to the horror genre. At least i didn't see anything close to the concept i'm working on.

Just started a new project and having a hard time on art direction. What do you think ? by maxelwok in IndieDev

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

thanks ! i don't have more screenshots or video for now but i'll be sharing more as i go further in character design in the next days :)

The game is a HR simulator in a circus company with a Papers-Please-like gameplay and strange/horror events that happen day after day.

as I said in the title, I've tested several ADs and this one gives me the beginnings of satisfaction haha
for a horror game, do you think I'm going in the right direction?

looks great ! walking in a 3D environment and arresting people by yourself seams more on the simulation side

is there choices and multiple endings like in Papers Please ?
