Our final project is a puzzle horror game building with RPG maker mv. It is not named yet, and the project name is horror.
In project horror, players will be able to control the main character Sayako to explore her apartment after a mystic coma. Players need to help Sayako reveal the bloody truth that happened on her and get rid of her spooky apartment that she no longer be familiar with.
As the designer, scriptwriter and programmer, I spent lots of days on this project. I learnt the basics of RPG maker and was able to create several puzzles, animated event and animated environment on RPG maker. In order to polish the game, I spent hours on integrating tilesets and characters with Photoshop. I also edited several sound effects myself, like the door knocking and doorbell sound effects.
The hardest part of making the game is not having enough time, at first we were planning to make all tiles ourselves, but that means more than 80 pixel arts in the end of semester. Our only artist could not handle this much works. In fact, I do created one pixel art for the tiles. That says, we had to purchased tilesets online so that we can created a similar atmosphere as we wanted.
However, personally the biggest obstacle is the script. I have never been a fan of writing, therefore most of the dialogues are pretty plain and boring in my opinion. But that was the best effort I could make, and I happy about the fact that I still have enthusiasm about games.
Overall, thanks to our artist Chengyuan Shi, he created some very awesome characters and was able to fit the category of puzzle horror game very well. It was really a fun experience, and I think I would complete the game someday if I can find a script writer.
