HORRORBOX'S PROFILE

author=meaka
Hi! I just played through the demo. Overall, it seems pretty solid in terms of glitches or bugs! The only one I noticed was that when Nathan runs to follow the noise, it shows the map it teleports the player to for a second before the screen goes completely black.

There were a few typos and weird sentence structure in a couple spots:

• At the beginning when you clarify the controls: enter to "comfirm"
• Felix's introduction: "cofidence"
  
• Nathan: "Yes...Lets" (should be Let's)
  
• Ian's introduction sounds a bit unnatural. Something like "Before I moved out, he and I were in the same school for the longest time" flows a little better.
  
• "It was really hard to persuade my parents" vs "It was really hard to get my parents persuaded." Again, very minor, but it sounds a bit more like something someone would say in casual conversation!
  

That said (minor demo spoilers?),

for being a "horror enthusiast," Nathan sure makes some silly horror protagonist mistakes! Following the noise of a wolf alone at night, refusing to leave out of stubbornness, entering an abandoned building alone, setting up camp with a grave within 20 feet of their tents, possibly not recognizing the very distinct silhouette of what looks like his friend in a spooky basement... Nathan, buddy, you can do better. Of course, there wouldn't be a game without any of these actions...! I just found it funny that a character who likes horror would make all those kind of moves.

Also, I'm really happy you went with minimal bloodsplatter in the torture dungeon! Excessive blood gets kind of cheesy, so I felt like you had a tasteful amount (if... such a thing as "a tasteful amount of blood" exists).

All in all, it was a nice little demo. I'm interested to see where the full game goes!

Aaaahhhhh! Thank you for playing the demo, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I'm happy that there wasn't that many glitches or bugs, and I will make sure to fix that glitch with Nathan and my many typos in the game. Sorry for the late reply, but again, thank you!

This game looks really interesting!
Can't wait for the full game!

Hey, so my game page got denied, and I would like a little more detail on what I need to fix. It says that the mapping is below site standards, and I think I can see where I went wrong, I just want to make sure this is the only thing I need to fix. I'm certain its the buildings, I just want to be sure before I resubmit.
*Maps below*

If there is anything else, please let me know, so I can fix all my mistakes, and hopefully get my game page up.

What have you accomplished on your project thus far?
I have completed adding a few new maps and fixing a few buildings for the game.


What unexpected challenges have you run into in reviving your game?
Being consistent with making the game and deciding on how the maps will work, and the broken script I keep having to fix.


How far through making the game would you say you are, currently?
I would say about 45% finished.


Now that you've actually started working on the game, do you think you'll finish in time?
If everything goes smoothly and I stay consistent, then I say yes, it could get done in time.


Can you see any big challenges that you might have to deal with in order to complete the game?
Time is a major problem because I'm always so busy, so its difficult to work when I'm tired, and also I have to think carefully about how the maps and characters will work in the game.


Is there anything in particular that you'd need help with in order to get past these challenges?
AI chase scenes (Although I haven't worked on that yet, I will probably get to it soon) and puzzles (Because I make them too simple).


Would you be willing to ask others to help you with these possible issues?
No, because with the time I have to work everyday, I don't want others to have to wait to see results. Although it would be nice and helpful, my schedule says no.

Summary


Comparisons:
I want to show differences between one area in the map, but I don't know how.
How do upload a screenshot, or place it into an image URL?
*I'm confused*
