Horror - Top Down Game?
Okay so I was thinking of bits at night, a horror multiplayer game based on illumination.
- So firstly its topdown shooter multiplayer kind. Easy to make that part with node.
- For the map I really dont know design so its way out of my league to design that so google earth + some editing can make you a nice map.
- Then we need a lot of darkness but the user can toggle a torch light and move around a little.
- So there are other players and monsters. The most interesting game mode would be battle royale. For now keep it simple 1 room. Players can kill each other and monsters are bots that attack people.
Dev flow
- Basic top down movement system
- Menu to Enter game
- Updating coordinates on node (try server authority)
- Make other players appear and disappear.
- map with walls - can be done later anytime
- Illumination and torch and whatnot
- Monsters AI - Randomly spawning and attacking you
- Jumpscares
- Battle royale system (restrictions on joining and alive count)
