Small changes made to game + Devlog update

Another Nightmare
A downloadable game for Windows

Not sure why it took me this long, but I finally decided to make some changes to the game. Nothing crazy, just little things that should make the game feel better to play. There's definitely a chance that these changes caused bugs so definitely let me know if you find anything . I'll list the changes down below but since I'm doing this little update, I'll also take this time to give a small update on what I've been up to lately. 

- Changes Made -

  • Continuing dialogue text shows full sentence instead of displaying next sentence if current sentence isn't finished yet.
  • Door open colliders are now over entire door instead of doorknob.
  • Flashlight now has smooth movement
  • Adjusted lighting

- Gamedev Update -

I've basically fallen into the cliché trap of working on projects but never finishing them. That's always been the case, but this gap is definitely longer than I want it to be.  It all really comes down to, I just don't know what I really want to do. I've been experimenting with different ideas that are all based around the horror genre, but I always end up thinking it'll not turn out good and give up on it.  After multiple unfinished projects turning out that way, I'm at a point where I have to just create something, despite if it's actually good or not. So I plan on doing random game jams and hoping I can just start getting things out there. This means my next game will probably not be horror related at all. It bothers me because I purposely made public expectations that I'll make a better horror game for my next game, hoping that'll push me to do it. But I don't think that'll be the case this time. I definitely still plan on trying to make horror games, but I feel I'm just not inspired to do so right now. 

Despite all that, I have learned a lot of new things that I can expand upon when I do make a new horror game. Some of the small changes I made to this game are because of what I learned in my unfinished projects, like the dialogue text and smooth flashlight movement. There's a lot more I learned that I hope to implement in a full game. But yeah, for now, expect a bunch of small random little games that are for game jams in the future. Maybe even little horror games if the game jam calls for it. At some point though I plan to make a full horror game that has more content in it. Until then, I hope you enjoy whatever I make next!
