Location for scary level

Archive: 26 posts


I was thinking about making a scary level, one that really gives you a heart attack and... maybe not but a scary level anyway.
So the first question is, where should it be? I don't want to make some old haunted house, because they really aren't that scary if you try to keep up the scare-o-meter all the time.
A sterile atmosphere would be just perfect, some ordinary place where paranormal things happen.
So, I was thinking about a mall, a school or an airport.
Since a school has already been done (spectral fear, anyone?) I didn't want to copy that so I decided to either make an airport or a mall.

Now, it's up to you to decide where you want to be scared to death

EDIT: Should this be in ideas and projects? I'm not sure but if a mod thinks so, please move this thread. Thanks

Yes, this should be in the Ideas and Projects section.

Other than that, I'd like to see a horror level in an airport, or maybe a supermarket.

How about a cupboard?

Serious answer: You don't have to know where it is, you could just make a building that's scary .

Moved to Ideas and Projects.

Oh, and I think an airport horror level would be cool, but I think both are great locations.

Airport - there could be so many things - like wrecked planes and ones that smashed through the building and....etc. BTW what is a mall?2010-04-12 00:17:00

A mall is a large building with many little shops inside.

On topic: Although a mall could be cool because each store could have something horrific in it, and you have to go in every store to escape.

I voted for Mall...and seem to be the only one so far.
I just can't really see a horror level based on an airport. The only airport horror I can think of isn't probably LBP material...

I'll have to go with a mall because you could be WAY more creative with the stores and whatnot. You might be a lot more limited if the setting is in an airport where you could only have planes and maybe a couple of other areas.2010-04-12 01:33:00

Airports, besides some of the bigger ones have shops in them, so it's like doing a mall too. :kz:2010-04-12 04:40:00

I voted for Airport because Malls have been done in other games. E.g. Left 4 Dead 2 and a few others
I have yet to see an airport horror game.

But why either mall or airport? If you ask me, hospitals are pretty creepy places, you'd have pretty much room and other stuff. Yes, I know they've been used a thousand times already, but that's because it works 2010-04-12 18:53:00

Yeah empty hospitals can be creepy... but as you said, it has been done many times before, I prefer to make at least something unique.
Of course I could do something else, why not a sports arena or something? The thing is, I really would want to do either one of these as both can be really cool if done right.

After seeing those results maybe I should start building an airport and not wait until the poll finishes.
If my level then is successful I will most likely do a mall.

Airports can have many creepy things in them. If they are empty and darker than normal.
I also have some scary things planned that actually could be done everywhere, not just in airports.

To make things look better, I think I should use the 3D glitch even if I had planned to not use it. With that I could make large rooms, planes in the background and other nice stuff.

Hard to choose. Airport for originality, mall for scariness.

Sports arena would actually be pretty creepy With all old tickets laying on the floor, all abandoned and it would be a pretty big level. So are you going for that Silent Hill sort of puzzle + atmosphere setup or something else?2010-04-12 20:11:00

I don't really know, I think I'll go with random creepy stuff happening now and then. Maybe some puzzles that seem easy but as you solve them something happens...
No ghosts flying around though, I'm pretty sure those wouldn't be too scary if I made them. Maybe just some invisible spirit of some dead pilot who died in a plane crash...
After I have the main structure done, I'll make a new topic on the level itself and then I can get some nice ideas

subway, basement, under the earth's crust, empty road, abandoned factory...


malls have been done, and an airport doesnt seem that scary...well for zombies anyways....maybe some mutated crap or something...

I have played deliriums levels, they actually were the inspiration for me to make my own
Hopefully mine will be just as good, because Deliriums are bloody brilliant

pretty much the subway sounds like it could be the best one...super dark...maybe one light flickering on and off...and a shadowy figure being emitted around the place...and with NO MUSIC!...the more quiet it is...the more scarier itll be2010-04-16 07:05:00

Airports are hella creepy anyways...nobody knows where they are! They all turn into haunted wrecks looking for their flights!

Maybe the tortured souls of those who died waiting for a plane? Or the ash-cloud! It could turn people into ashy mutants!

How about an abandoned mine? They're fairly disconcerting in real life as it is.2010-04-27 03:01:00
