Posts like these are just going to be quick updates on what I have been doing with my Genius Hour project.
So far I have been browsing around looking for ideas for the game. I have made a giant list of things that are going to be in the game, we haven’t finished it yet but here is the progress we have so far:
-Scary Stuff People Don’t Like-
-Mannequins
–Alien like creature with claws or something
-lots of jumpscares
-unexpected stuff
-Character Designs-
-Wheelchair man
-The Dead
-Game Mechanic Ideas-
-Every now and then you have to press a random button on your keyboard within 10 seconds and if you don’t then the lights turn off/your screen goes pitch black and you get a jump scare
-R15
-Crouching/sneaking so the “things” won’t notice you
-When you die you have to wait 10 seconds if you still have lives. If not then you gotta pay for an extra life, you can spectate or you go back to lobby.
-Game Name Ideas
-Strange dreams
-Old memories
-Just Dreams
Storyline
You are a __ year old person named _______. Everynight you have these dreams where you have to survive a certain something or do a task, all while being hunted down by something. You think all this stuff is within your head, but they start becoming reality, making appearances in your day to day life.
Game
You start off the game in one of these “dreams”. After completing the objective, you get woken up by an alarm clock and you get up to go to work. You complete some simple tasks at work and go home to go to bed. On the 2nd night there will be harder tasks you have to complete to get out of the dream. After you wake up you go to work again and complete tasks at work, but start to see some signs or traces of the “things” in your dreams, but when you investigate, you come to a conclusion that your mind is just playing tricks on you. This pattern continues for 3 more days/nights and there are different tasks to complete each night with the sightings of the “things” becoming more obvious and soon enough on day 5, you encounter one of the “things” at work and have to run away from it and survive. After you get away from the “thing”, you wake up again in your bed and assume it was all a dream. Days-5 Nights-5
