Managed to find a client who was interested in having me make trading card templates for a certain amount of money. Can’t tell you much more than that right now, not allowed to tell.

I’ve been doing some serious thinking and planning with how the level design will work with Sound of Silence to make it as unique and fresh as possible. Some people have commented on my plans as being a “personalized horror game” which sounds unique enough to me. I really wish I had more time to develop some actual assets for this so that I could begin testing, but that’s sadly not the case these days.

Basically, the way it works so far is that the levels will be divided in to “components” as I call them, that are completely interchangeable and can be swapped at random depending on what fears the players experience. Imagine that you are incredibly afraid of spiders, for instance, and that the choices you make in this game tells the game that you want to avoid them as much as possible. The game will respond by altering level layouts to include rooms and areas that are specifically crafted to take advantage of this and instill as much fear in the players heart as possible. Each component will include between 3 – 5 fear events that can be anything from heights and darkness to snakes and spiders. These events, once the “insanity meter” is high enough, will manifest themselves by trapping the player in the room and start to shake you up until the insanity meter runs low.

Those are my preliminary plans so far. If you are a C# programmer interested in bringing this to life in Unity 3D, don’t hesitate to contact me!

EE News: Me and Cyclone are working together on a new contest system that allows teams to register themselves and manage team mates. Expect a contest fairly soon!
