Greetings,

My name is Secresteyn and I recently worked on my first microgame for another horror jam.

I am happy I was able to make and publish a project within 30 days.

My goals for my last project were to network a bit and go through the process of releasing to itch.Io.
Whilst working against a set deadline.

I was able to achieve these aims and have started to build up a small portfolio of projects on itch.Io.

My last project suffered from overscoping and as a result, I didn't deliver on my horror goals. I hope to change that with this project.

For this upcoming release, I aim to strip things back to a "core" of horror elements. Streamline my design process and focus specifically on those horror aspects I neglected in my last attempt.

I am really curious to see if I can do a better job of scaring people this time around.

I look forward to sharing my project with you all at the end of the jam.

Best of luck to all entrants

Happy Gaming

P.S

My goal for the last project was to reach 10 followers on Itch and across social platforms and I didn't quite hit that target.

Hey man, you still have time! Stay Away From the Lighthouse, and many other great games were made in that time! STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE by BEDTIMESTORIES, Bubee (itch.io)

+I haven't started my project until now either. After all, I don't want any chance at taking the top-five positions from you guys :D 

Hey,

Thanks for checking out the thread.

I'll share a little more about the setting and story in a short teaser when things are a little further along :)

Thanks for the encouragement, I am hopeful I can deliver something worth a look with the time left.

I've been making steady progress & have spent time building out Modular Building Kits and exploring Modular Dungeon Kits. I've allocated some time to writing up a brief play-by-play of my intro and a condensed story treatment.

It has been fun jotting down desired plot points, and character motivations, and building out the narrative skeleton.

I struggled with elements of horror and narrative in my last jam - so I am trying to frontload those aspects a bit more for this project.

I've also been heavily influenced by some earlier Alfred Hitchcock movies for my visual and cinematic styling for this project.

Stay tuned for more WIP stuff as I go!
