Psychological Horror level

Archive: 3 posts


So lately I have been toying with the idea of making a psychological horror/thriller level for the vita. I've found a few good ones online already, but am wanting to make one myself.

Here is what I am thinking:
There will be a story
As you progress in the story, the world slowly distorts and changes around you
As things become more odd, rooms change, furniture disappears, and something starts hunting you
This will not be a top-down level, I would prefer to use the normal cameras
Grabbing doors would "take you into the room," i.e. teleport you to the room.

I am not a fan of jump-scares and random needless screams, so don't expect any of those things

It would all take place in a house, but other than that I am still trying to flesh out a justified and non-cliche story.

I am taking inspiration from They Came From My Nightmares (https://vita.lbp.me/v/83d3p), a wonderful LBPv level by Automatica, and Layers of Fear (https://layersoffear.com/main.html), an insane horror game.

The only thing that I would need help creating would be artwork and paintings for my level. There is no paint tool in LBPv so all custom images have to be made from sticker panel or by splicing together other stickers or materials.
If anyone is interested in making a few images, feel free to contact me. And if you want some ideas or inspiration, I have some links bellow.
WARNING, some of these images may be disturbing or contain nude figures

The Nightmare by John Henry Fuseli (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Henry_Fuseli_-_The_Nightmare.JPG)
Monomania of Envy by Theodore Gericault (http://www.artble.com/artists/theodore_gericault/paintings/monomania_of_envy)
The Black Paintings by Goya (http://www.theartwolf.com/goya_black_paintings.htm)
Salvador Dali's work (https://www.artsy.net/artist/salvador-dali)

Anyways that's about it, what do you think? Would anyone care to play this, should I bother creating it at all? It seems most of the players of LBPv now-a-days are kids anyways, so would something like this be too much?

A nice idea. There are many guys, who are interested for a short time. So bringing action and horror at the same time is a good strategy, to keep them in your level.2016-04-24 10:01:00
