Hello Roblox, I have a question for you all and how would you think about this idea.
I have an idea on a Roblox game somewhat like the current horror game “Doors” but based on R.L Stine’s popular book franchise “Goosebumps”.
I was wondering how people would think about this game idea, and if they have any ideas.
As well as if it would hit their inner childhood nostalgia.
Please feel free to give opinions and suggestions : ).
I’ve never read or learned about Goosebumps, but I could tell a bit about the “Doors” lore.
First, the map is a militarized hospital hotel, abandoned after the war. Some souls of the dead are haunted and held by Satan. They appear as black shadow figures. There is one exception however, it is the creature in teeth, flesh and bones. It is a creature made from buried body parts. The whole hotel is guarded by an angel, the statue of him is in the outdoor garden, he also appears as the blue sparkling light in different rooms to guide the players.
There are many references in-game of the Bible along with its stories, including paintings, angels, especially with its new update, the Holy Crucifix. However, the game lore mainly focuses on the ancient testament’s descriptions of the satanic power instead of focusing on the fundamentals of the entire Bible.
If you mean that the lore will be similar, then I would suggest you to try to think of something more original, but if just the gameplay or building style, then it’s all good as long as if it’s not too identical. After all, lore is the key to horror games. It’d suck to have just meaningless monster chases.
Nah the lore will be completely different. - Following the goosebumps books lore.
It will be completely different from the mechanics all the way to the play style and build up.
I would definelty play it. Opens my childhood back up. It would be cool to see some of the same monsters such as the werewolf, slappy of course as some type of boss/ something to avoid while going through the game. It would be cool as a piggy type game but also like a doors game combined. Need keys to open something and a bunch of other pathways. Mainly just think of a good lore as lore is what makes all horror games.
Thank you so much, I love your opinion and when you said “It opens my childhood back up” as it does the same with me.
Ill definitely work on the game as my inner child is running loose and is edging me on to create this.
Thank you!
Yeah no problem! Whenever it is finished you can always contact me through devforum or through discord via ItsMaxi#2977
Sounds good!
Ill @ you or contact you via discord once I have a prototype ETC!
Thank you so much! PS if you need testers you got me lol.
Lol sounds good, Ill probably contact you for some testing sooner or later!
Make some cool GUI buttons that gives the vibe of the book/movie
DOORS has been confirmed to have lore, however it has not been announced what that lore is. Just thought I should let you know to avoid spreading misinformation like this.
No horror games releases their lore. Imagine doing that? All the information comes from multiple horror game experts.
Well said horror game experts are merely theorizing. As much sense as that lore of your makes, that does not make it the canon.
I’d also be happy to test if possible!
There’s never an official version, as the game developer never explains the lore himself, because it’s bad for the community hype. Proper theorizing is all that’s needed, at rare times with a bit of help from the developer.
This is a bit of a pointless argument, let’s not do that, you can talk about your opinion of doors if you wish, I never even played it I just watch and read a lot of Doors’s community’s thoughts.
