Nat builds a Silent Hill 2 inspired 3D level in Unity, based primarily on Silent Hill’s Brookhaven Hospital. Her goal is to create a 3D survival horror level in Unity, and have people play using one of several sets of camera types (fixed, first person, third person over-the-shoulder) to test how cameras affect the sense of unease. Do fixed, cinematic cameras like the original Silent Hill games and the Resident Evil Playstation trilogy convey a higher sense of dread than character-based perspectives? That’s what she intends to find out.

Animating Fuboo’s Art for a Unity Horror Game!

Admin — Tue, 05 May 2020 16:30:02 +0000

LaughingMan, Nat, and The Fuboo give you a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on the past several months in this video dev diary (sped up 800%). If anything, at least enjoy the video game music remixes.

Watch as LaughingMan and Nat take artwork from The Fuboo and turn it into an animated 2D rig in the Unity game engine. The concept we are building is a horror exploration game that we have codenamed: “Harrow House”. We are debating about the art style, whether to use 2D pixelated graphics to enhance the horror via obscurity, or keep the artwork clean looking. Our major inspiration is the original ClockTower game for the SNES/Super Famicom.

So sit back and watch as we bring the artwork to life, or just stick around for some great video game music remixes from OCReMix (remixes credited in the video).

UPDATES! YourBoyfriend: Day 1, Quarantines, and Body Pillow Dreams

Admin — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 13:39:54 +0000

UPDATES! YourBoyfriend: Day 1 is done just in time to keep you company for the mass quarantines. And now that we at BSG have nothing but time in confinement, more interesting content is inbound as well!

NOTE: Don’t take our jokes over the outbreak and quarantines as anything more than our gallows humor. Laughing at a devastating virus robs it of some of its power over our emotions, and helps us get through this quagmire of conflicting information, civil idiocy, and media fear-mongering. Stay clean, stay healthy, stay informed, and stay rational!

LaughingMan and Fuboo update you on the goings ons at Black Shepherd Games and Inverted Mind Inc. The first part of Fuboo’s “YourBoyfriend” erotic horror visual novel is now on Patreon for the low, low entry price of a single dollar, so be sure to pick it up. The new “Day 1” game consists of new artwork and music by Fuboo, as well as new backgrounds by the artist, Blasticheart. The script from the YourBoyfriend Demo has been completely rewritten, expanded upon, and given more options during your initial encounter with the mysterious stranger who considers himself to be your boyfriend.

Meanwhile, LaughingMan’s 2TB hard drive died, wiping out a lot of his projects and games. However, the game streams with the Patreon and SubscribeStar supporters are still backed up and we’ll be rolling them out. Additionally, LaughingMan is working on a video that teases the horror game project that he and Nat have been working on.

Unreal Engine Hates Doors | Nat is Making HappyWorldLand (Un)Real?

Admin — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 20:47:41 +0000

Nat streams Unreal Engine 4 game development for her University project. Her goal? Create a rough mock-up of LaughingMan’s “HappyWorldLand” survival horror game pitch. The problem? The Unreal Engine hates doors (specifically changing pivot points).

Nat is using Unreal Engine in order to make a vertical slice of a horror game inspired by LaughingMan’s horror game pitch. However, the true horror is that apparently changing an object’s pivot point in the Unreal Engine is a chore. It takes a few hours of searching various online programming and Unreal Engine forums only to discover that a seemingly simple pivot point change is either a paid add-on, or requires some crafty tinkering. Take a look behind the curtain at what early video game programming REALLY looks like.
