Okay, so last night I got a burst of inspiration after seeing a horror movie. I wanted to use that energy to create a simple horror game. Recently I played Slender and I was surprised to see how 'easy to create' it seemed. Ofcourse that is easier said than done. So lets get to work

Rebuild for Leadwerks

So how hard can it be right? Within 2 hours I had a nice little start. You jump over a fence and thats were the fun begins. I have added a temporary ending to set the mood a little.

Level

The level itself is very easy. Just let leadwerks distribute some trees and place a fence around your level. Add some distance fog and remove all the lighting.

Player

Next: the player. Nothing special there either. Just a simple character controller that has been used in countless tutorials. Also added a small flashlight.

Sound

The most fun untill now was the adding of sound. The sound boosts the scare factor of the game immensly. I spend a good hour searching for sound effects and a background music. I mostly use http://www.freesound.org/.

Next blog

• The pages: adding some page in the game scenery. Giving the player some raycast abalities to pick them up etc.
  
• The slenderman-system. When do you see him and how do you die?
