Version 0.0.15

Another minor update, I continue to fill in the game bit by bit.

The neighbourhood now has:

• Interactive items that need collecting before the player can enter the house. (This should fix a potential issue with the previous build where players could not progress to the house level.
• Expositional dialogue

I managed to fix a glitch with the player's interaction UI so now a floating UI appears over the player to tell you when something is interactive. (The children also display their current state on a similar UI but this is just for development/debugging and should be removed in upcoming versions.

TODO

• Finish the neighbourhood layout. It's a LOT of work to layout, no wonder I struggled during the jam. I don't want it to be too cluttered, thus preventing the eye from ever seeing the player but I also want it to look like a believable neighbourhood with cut-throughs and shortcuts, dead ends and places to hide.
• More dialogue
• Perhaps a UI to show how many ritual items need to be collected before entry to the house will be granted.
• Some sort of indication/hint as to where the items are on the map.
• More children.
• Fix some AI navigation issues with the Chaser.
• Better texturing/materials around most of the game.
• Improve some of the level models for the house interiors.
• General improvement of horror atmosphere, perhaps through the use of custom made models.

Feel free to try out the latest version of the game and see what you think.

Feel free to join the Drentsoft Games Discord to discuss the development of this and my other games.

Come by and watch me make games on Twitch, I'm currently likely to be streaming the development of this game for a while.
