single-use savepoints to prevent camping.

Could you elaborate on this? Is the point to make the save more dire and not being needed to be used carelessly? (Actually that sounds very devious! I like it...) Perhaps after saving somewhere else that save point returns? The game involves backtracking so respawning the save point sounds logical.

@Joseph Seraph
I like the idea of the ghosts jump scaring. Perhaps instead of removing the object, have it become "Haunted" and it scares you if you go back to save at it. That at least earns a few scares, the first time when you learn the mechanic, and others if you forget about the mechanic. But add a randomness to the "Haunted" save point so you don't expect it every single time. Perhaps interrupt you while you're trying to save at it as to "trick" you :3 Very good idea indeed...

Also, thank you for them informity on Lamps, as I am currently finishing watching an LP by Markiplier for the game "Fatal Frame 2"

@Marrend
All I can think of when I read it is Markiplier saying something like "my face was so hideously ugly that everyone died and that now I live in a world that is just a grim reminder of just how ugly I am..."

Do you think I thought like Mark? I AM after all writing some of his dialogue in game (percentage of his dialogue in game is ALL OF IT!)

@LockeZ
That is a lot to think about depending on the type of horror game. Mine would have shadows, murders, ghosts, monsters, and a plethora of other things.

@Liberty
Perhaps have the save screen look like a book and have some kind of text method and animation to wipe the section and rewrite it.

@@Myself
I just realised I may be trying to do thing that your not supposed to do and that is trying to please everyone. Even though I'm trying to cram ideas together, but as I see it if I leave a few out, the mechanic may look generic (someone may not complain) but making it as unique as it can be would be a highlight of the game! (Also that I do love a lot of ideas that can make for a "screaming" and funny good time :P)

I want to add a feature (feature being save point object) to my game that saves progress (which is called a savepoint, 1:00am where I am so no brain process with first sentence).

I have been rattling my brain on this for awhile and came up with nothing that peaks my interest. From a plan sigil radiating on the ground to a papery object you write in/on, only the sigils sound interesting but not good enough.

Do any of you have an idea for a save point that I can use in any haunted/creepy/abandoned/spooky/scary/terrifying/spoopy/frightening/dark place?

List of examples of locations:
-Abandoned Hospital
-Haunted Forest
-Rundown Amusement Park
-Ghost Town
-Creepy House(s)
-Scary Castle
-Spooky Laboratory
-Dark Sewers

What about a will-o-wisp that has a sigil(s) flashing around itself? (Probably wouldn't work for a house(s)...)

Would even be better if there was a Creepypasta that has a save object as the main focus :3

I honestly want a second opinion on this, please?

Okay, so I will need to spill a little more beans on the game. But I do LOVE all of the suggestions so far!

So the main character's are YouTubers (Or yourself if you wish to play as your own custom character) so they maybe against blood loss. (But I keep in my the methods you all proposed)

The game genre (for clarity) is more of a comedy horror (AND RIGHT THERE I NEED YOU TO STOP WHAT YOUR THINKING!) It's not in the sense of "making fun of horror" or "dark comedy" (If I understand dark comedy a bit ) but more so on "using comedy as a tool to lower anxiety during parts that are not so scary then amp horror during the scary parts" (Which getting the 2 in harmony may sound a bit hard).

Not sure if I need to hype so much on its real genre but you can't be too careful, sorry to Caps like that...

@karins_soulkeeper
I'm horrible at making sprites, but I will try making my own for certain parts (like buildings and floors) But thank you for the advice on how to make some :3

@AlexJaw
I will email you in case you don't receive this, but I will message here to. It would be really cool if you could make both a loop version and a one play through, but probably focus more on a loop.

I would think for Jeff the Killer, his theme would be kind of a lullaby (to fit with his motto/quote), but a little happy/upbeat (for his smiling face :3), also with kind of a murderous drone or something to relate to his killer side. Perhaps have some of the notes play slightly off (intentionally to make the song seem bad, representing his "insanity" or "mad" state of mind.

{Oooo! It can be titled "Jeff's Lullaby"! Nailed it!}

I'll need to think more on the other character's themes but I hope I'm being as informative as possible while being straight to the point.

Also to update on resources, I may have obtained a Poppy (from Candle Cove) and a Horace Horrible (from Candle Cove) sprites so that's nice.

1. Bronies are NOT furries, there is a difference.
and
2. You did flush one out.

I do not approve of your method...
