Welcome back to another devlog, I'm writing this in a rush because I have a lot of work to do, so sorry If I misspelled something!
*I will explain this gal in the next devlog!*
-Completed 4 new models related to events!
-Implemented flashlight! (took way too long because I wanted it to be very realistic)
-Few bug fixes
-Many more audio
-Jumpscare & death screen! (I won't show a screen shot of the jumpscare because that would spoil it!)
Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce the new major progress devlog!
You know the drill!
-Bug fixes
-Implemented settings
-A lot more audio
-Minor but important improvements to the menus
-Minor but important improvement to timings & level transitions
-The pause menu no more freezes the game
-Power system
-FOUR NEW EVENTS!
The power usage is calculated from the amount of lights that are on. The amount of power remaining, is reset after completing each level but if it hit zero during a level, power will be gone.
When the power runs out, every light in the house will be turned off, putting the player in the Lights Off mode and also disabling the computer.
If the player still has tasks remaining when the power dies, it will basically be a game over. But if all tasks are finished when the power dies, the player must survive until the timer runs out in order to progress onto the next level.
The first event ever designed for Reanimated. The events are one of the core parts of the game, explaining them would spoil it. So I'm not going to be straightforward.
"Lightening after lightening, who knows what each one does? Some are just an energy hitting the ground while the other ones... Shatter The Trust.
Nobody exactly knows what they do or what they want. But, p-please be quick, do your tasks and go! You don't want to waste anymore time! If the next lightening that strikes, is one of 'those'... God knows what will happen..."
"Hell On Earth, people say. But no words can truly describe this night.
Legends say: Blood Moon rises when somebody has been murdered and disposed at the same night under the moon's supervision. This angers the moon, it can't do anything by itself, so it paints its body with red to resemble the blood of the victim and to ask for justice."
"Uhh, nothing special here, you forgot to pay your bills.
O r a t l e a s t t h a t ' s w h a t g o v e r n m e n t w a n t s y o u t o b e l i e v e ."
"A day darker than the night.
Sun, The most powerful object is now enraged. It knows no peace, answers everything with violence & kills every single entity which dares to cross its sight.
You better not move an inch when it's watching!"
Thanks for reading my devlog! I really appreciate it!
I really like to tell you guys and gals about what I'll be working on, but it's 10 pm and I'm very tired right now. So I will stop yapping for now,
Uhh, Hello again!
So, uhh... another unfortunate event. I got sick, v e r y s i c k. I had to go to the hospital.
Anyways! Let's forget about my near death experience and move on to the fun stuff. I lost most of my time due to my sickness, but I still managed to achieve some good progress!
In Short:
-Improved some old code
-Added more sound effects
-Added 4 new tasks!!
-Added level progression system!
-Implemented dynamic scaling for the canvas to fit different resolution monitors
-Added title screen! (Advance settings not implemented yet)
-Added pause screen & volume slider!
Gallery:
-Desktop
-Title screen
-Title screen in action
-Pause screen
-Pause screen in action (The GIF seems to be a bit glitchy near the slider, but it's fine in game)
-Tasks
-Tasks in action
That is it for now! The game is getting very close to a playable state.
Tomorrow, I will implementing settings and a proper save system. After finishing those I will have the following tasks remaining in my checklist:
- Events ()
-Tasks (X X X X)
-Models ()
-Death System ()
After I do the Death System and some modeling, the only things remaining will be Events & Tasks. Both are limitless, meaning that I will add as many of them as I want.
These two will take a lot of time but after them, by doing some final touches the game will be FINSIHED!
Thanks for being here! When I started working on this project, I wasn't sure if I would even be able to pull it off. But now that we have reached so far, I want to say, Thank You <3 This is the tankest tank you that I have ever tanked! Seriously! It can't get more tank that this! Without you guys, I wouldn't have the passion to continue this project.
This is not my project. This is OUR project!
THE HORROR UPDATE IS HERE
Hello.
I'm very excited about this new update. It scared me about four times already even though I was testing the features and knew they were going to happen! I call that a success!
Features:
-Added footstep sound effects
-Added audio to 'cursed' props
-Added the prop charge system
-Added the prop aggravation system
-Added the timer countdown application
-Added The™
Other:
-A lot of bug fixes
-Upscaled the resolution of the monitor screen
-The base of the prop AI is completed
-Finished the Lights Off Mode
-The game is close to a playable state
-A GIF of the Countdown application.
I haven't updated you guys and gals about the prop AI for a while, so I'm going to do that now!:
-Sneaky closet.
-Prop getting aggressive in Lights Off Mode.
-Prop charging after a failed stare. (yes, that made me shit myself)
I have a lot of work to do, but I will try my best to push out the next update tomorrow.
Have a great day/night/noon/afternoon/sunday/monday/friday/yesterday/september/june/july/future/past/.
Uhh, hello there...
So... I told you guys and gals that I will be making significant progress but my computer got corrupted and I was in a lot of trouble for around two days.
The good news is that the project & my development tools aren't corrupted! In short nothing of value was lost!
Now I have Windows 11 installed.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if this is 'Windows 11 pro' edition or 'Windows 11 pro free no virus please' edition. I hope it's the first one...
I couldn't do much, but I will update you about it anyway.
Now we have camera shake!:
The light system is also here:
If you don't know what light system is, let me explain it real quick:
If you turn off all lights in the house, you will enter Lights Off Mode.
While in this mode, if you stare at an object for a long time, one of the following events will happen:
1. If you were staring at a 'cursed' object, it will die and turn into a normal prop.
2. If you were staring at a normal prop, one of the 'cursed' prop will get aggressive and move towards you even if you're looking at it (It will not play hide&seek anymore). This aggravated prop will not die, if you try to stare at it in Lights Off Mode.
Anyways, from now on, I'll try to update y'all at least every two days (unless I have a lot of work). I also want to know your ideas about this game. If you feel like you have a good idea that I can add to the project, please comment it under this post.
Bye Bye For Now! \(QωQ)/
Hello there!
First of all, the project has officially been named 'REANIMATED'!
I've mostly been setting up the new map, and preparing it for future development.
To be exact, I have:
1. Tweaked the map layout
2. Set up colliders, joints, sound effects & masses
3. Added some post-processing filters
4. Made the garage
5. Improved lighting
6. Improved performance
7. Improved the atmosphere
Without post-processing effects:
With post-processing effects:
Outside of the garage:
Inside of the garage (Work In Progress):
The clock:
Now I have to set up the prop AI for the new props and test the game.
After that, the fun part will begin!
When I finish setting up the AI, I'll start working on the events, making the AI more advanced & finally starting to add the horror elements!
See you in the next devlog, have a great night! Also I'm in your walls.
Hello everybody my name is welcome. w h a t ! ?
Sorry for being gone a few days and not posting any updates about the game.
I had to make all the 3D models for the game, which took a while. I want to be honest, in my absence I wasn't working on the game that much. While making the models, I unfortunately got burnt out and took a huge break.
However, the good news is that I didn't waste this time doing nothing. I worked a lot trying to expand my knowledge of programming and it certainly worked! I feel a lot more comfortable writing code compared to when I left the project.
I also finished all the models and textured them! They look exactly how I wanted them to be!:
-Image of the environment before completion.
Finally, after a long time I felt happy again. Seeing how much the environment is close to my expectations gives me a very cozy and happy feeling.
-Image of the meat grinder. "Very important to the lore so take notes, kids. In fact count every polygon on it."
-Image of the kitchen. "See the meat grinder chillin there? It now has textures, so count every pixel of it. It's important to the l o r e."
-Image of the main room. "Can't find the meat grinder, can ya?! It's because you ARE the meat grinder! Calculate the angle between the meat grinder and the blue trashcan, it is important to the L O R E."
-Image of the computer in its new place. "Nothing important to the lore. Ignore this image."
-Image of a gentle man looking at you from outside. "I hate you, why aren't you leaving me alone? I thought you were just an innocent rabbit."
For the next update, I will tweak the map a bit and also make a custom post-processing shader.
See you later!
Hi there!
First of all let's start with the boring stuff!:
-Bug fixes (a lot of them)
-Dynamic collision sounds (Based on the velocity of objects upon contact)
That's it, boring stuff is finished! Now let's go back to the goodies:
-The computer is now interactable. By that, I mean you can now open application and drag windows around
-As you can see, the computer can also be turned off. The player has to turn off the computer & hide when encountering some events.
-The game now has a logic and difficulty system! This means that the game is actually playable now! I'm so happy to see my game in this stage. from the day I started, this is the first time I feel like I'm actually getting close to what I was hoping for!
Let's first talk about the Logic Script: The job of this script is to randomly choose props and 'curse' them on each level. This script also changes the behavior of the props (Aggressiveness & etc...). The Logic is influenced by both RNG and difficulty (Which increases after completing each level).
As you may know RNG is the main mechanic of the game which makes it fun and worth playing again. if the player loses, they will go back to the first level of the game. So this game is mostly about beating yours and others high score instead of just progressing through the levels.
Now let's talk about the difficulty: Difficulty increases the more you progress. Difficulty by its own, increases in a linear way. But when mixed with randomness the results are only kinda predictable and most of the time, just random. Let's say for example that the speed of 'cursed' props in level 1 is 10 and in level 2 is 20, but with RNG in level 1 is 10 +or- 5 and in level 2 is 20 +or- 5. 
D O N ' T A S K A B O U T T H E - 7 D I F F I C U L T Y
Props behavior on 6 difficulty (Level 6): 
Props behavior on 100 difficulty (Level 100): 
See you later!
Hello once again!
First of all, I modeled the computer, monitor and table:
Now the computer can be turned on. I also added some sound effects: 
Added some AI to the props: 
The AI is in its early stages. I spent most of the time figuring out how I can set up navigation mesh for the props. It was really difficult because NavMesh agents usually stick to the ground and slide on it, but I wanted the props to have physics and be moved around with forces to act more natural.
I've implemented most of the major features. After this the next big thing is to actually randomize how the levels generate. But for now, I'll take a break and work on some applications for the computer.
See you guys and gals later!
Hello again!
I just implemented the movement system & the computer's cursor.
I know this doesn't sound like significant progress but it is!
From the day I begun working on this project I was worried about how I'm going to make the cursor & now that after a lot of work it's finally over, I can continue working on the game with more confidence.
Now I'll probably make a computer model to make the devlogs more appealing for you guys & gals.
After that, I'll make a prototype of the props' AI & showcase it here.
Please write a reply to support me, See y'all in the next devlog!
Hello again!
I haven't really been working on this project in the last few days, I've been busy.
I have about 10 days of free time to work on this project, so I'll try to make significant progress!
For now I've made the working computer screen:
It was really painful to make because of the lack of tutorials, however I somehow managed to pull it off.
Now, I'll be working on the movement system (Yes I know this is a sit & survive game, trust me!) and after that I'll be coding the props' AI.
Sorry for the lack of visual quality, I am trying to make a simple prototype of the game before modeling any assets and building the atmosphere.
I'll be posting devlogs more frequently and giving you guys & gals much more context about the game's progress.
Thanks for reading, please write a comment to support me and my game!
I've just started working on a new 3D horror game about props. It's like prop hunt mixed with sit & survive horror. I think it'll be really fun!
The core idea of the game and what makes it stand out is that, the gameplay has a TON of RNG elements. So EACH run should be UNIQUE!
The gameplay is like this: The protagonist (Player) should do some tasks on his computer. He doesn't have much time, so each and every second is important for him. Some of the props around him are anomalies for unknown reasons. They try to get closer to him when he's not looking. And if they get close enough, you know the deal...
The player should memorize the location of the props and if they move, try to break their curse. The props are smart, if they think the player is suspicious about them, they may not move for a period of time or they may ram at the player, next time he turns around.
Some more thingies: The game has an uncanny atmosphere. It will have a lore & a story. It will have a LOT of easter eggs. It will be released for FREE.
I'm kinda new to game development & marketing. The thing I need the most right now is your support! Please comment, tell me your ideas & share your feeling about it. I'll read all of them! Each comment is important for me!
... oH, wait, right!1 This is a devlog so I should tell you guys & gals the current state of the game...
For now, I've modeled this car in ~2 days. This is the first vehicle that I've tried modeling. This model is actually supposed to be for another project that I want to work on (That would be my Dream Game!). But I'll also use it for this project. What you guys think!? I think it turned out great!
I'M SO EXITED!
