The Day: Upcoming Horror Game

The Day - Roblox

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINISHED, WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO SHOWCASE OUT CURRENT PROGRESS

Hello! Me, @alexxk5, @Davelie2006, @Razorboots(With @Year_Walk as our Story Designer) have been working on a horror game to push the limits of the Roblox platform. 2 Years ago Alex started the project. Although staying fairly quiet he made large progress on the game, with the help of a few scripters who have since left the project(all of their scripts left too). Just recently, me @Davelie2006, and @Razorboots joined the project. We truly think that this game will raise the bar for the Roblox platform.

Pictures

Here is some models Dave has been working on:
Hand model for the flashlight(and the flashlight)



Scripting(currently only me as Razor only joined yesterday night)

Building

Side Note

I simply cannot put these builds into justice with a few mere pictures. If you really want the full experience you have to join the game and play through chapter 0,1’s current state. I only did a couple of pictures for chapter 1 because I want to leave the rest for you to explore(when the game is fully realeased)

Okay, with that out of the way, here you go
(This is using @Onogork’s camera path module)

Chapter: 0(yes chapter 0)

Already from the moment I play I feel that I am going to get jump scared. Great job!!

ps how to turn on flashlight when you start the game or do you earn it

The flashlight is only apparent in chapter 1, if you are in a forest you are most likely in chapter 0 :slight_smile: After that you will see the flashlight because it is glowing solid yellow atm :joy:

Also as of now there is no real horror aspect to the game, its more of just a showcase right now

Looks very nice so far. I really like the decay of the building, it really adds to the atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing to the project. :slight_smile:

it’s quite laggy, so i think u should try to work on that. although, everything else is pretty good

Hmmm, from what it looks like it seems good. I’ll check it out.

Probably should be a low detail option which should be set on by default so players don’t have to lag their way to the settings

this game is for people with google pc we don’t care about people on ipads

Games like this should at least have a less resource-intensive option for users with lower end hardware.

this is not my problem but i know it is but i can’t do something about it i will have to remove much/many details and i can’t do that this is roblox’s problem and the users hardware

as a game desinger my job is to make people interact better with the game style and this is kinda hard to say but this game is about details and yes my own pc lags but as i said this is about the roblox engine

Amazing. So pretty. Maybe a little to many vines and plants for my taste but still amazing.

You make the best showcases and you’re really underated.
