A bus journey... to San Vicente 😈 #retrogames #gaming #pixelart #retrogaming #rpggames #gameplay #rpgmaker #indiegame #demo #gamedev #itchio #plugin #javascript #horrorgame #indiedev #devlog
After escaping from the psychiatric hospital, Chusé had only one place in mind to go: the old bus station... #rpgmaker #indiegame #horrorgame #adventuregame #gameplay #gamedev #indiedev #retrogame #pixel
The intro’s almost ready… here’s a snippet of the opening scene in the psychiatric hospital… What do you think of it as a start to the game? Check it out in ratasoftwareinc.itch.io/nisv-test3 #indiegame #horrorgame #gamedev #rpgmaker
Amidst bats and dust, one of San Vicente’s best-kept secrets lies hidden in the old mine... Try it at ratasoftwareinc.itch.io/nisv-test3 #retrogames #solodev #gaming #pixelart #retrogaming #rpgmaker #gameplay #demo #sologamedev #itchio
The Corporation - DOS menu plugin Implementing a plugin that simulates a DOS-style email client in ‘The Corporation’... what do you think? #rpgmaker #indiegame #indiedev #plugin #javascript #detective
In this video, you can see how one of the script calls I’ve designed for the game works. The player can set the time on a clock. When they press “SET”, the script checks the hour and minute against two stored variables. #rpgmaker #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #javascript
DEVIL OF THE PYRENEES, a master of manipulation and deception. Although evil by nature, like the demons of other mythologies, local tales suggest that on rare occasions he would help the locals, or that it was even sometimes possible to take advantage of his greed to outwit him.
BELPHEGOR, a mythological creature known as the “Chronodemon”, who is said to possess the power to manipulate time at will.
JOSMAR, Chusé’s much-admired older brother. Reserved and somewhat sly by nature, he disappeared from our protagonist’s life following the traumatic death of their parents...
CHUSÉ, the young protagonist of our story. Innocent and guileless in nature, though not without a strong will, he had to cope with traumatic events from a very young age that led to his admission to a mental asylum.
While we're putting the finishing touches on Demo v0.4, it's time to start introducing some of the characters you'll meet along the way. Some of them will help you. Some of them won't... #indiegame #horrorgame #gaming #rpgmaker #indiewatch #gamedev #pixelart
Question for players 👁️ In an RMMZ horror game, is full controller support something you consider essential, or are you perfectly fine playing with keyboard+mouse? Trying to decide how much time I should invest into gamepad compatibility... #gaming #indiegames #horrorgame #gamedev #rpgmaker
After a long development process, I’ve finally been able to check the box that says “This project does not contain the output of Generative AI.” Thanks to all the artists who made this possible!!! 😘 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgame #rpgmaker #itchio #pixelart
Work on the INTRO design is underway! 😊 Please note that I’m still looking for testers for the current version; full details of the project can be found at forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/nigh... #indiedev #playtesting #horrorgames #rpgmaker
We’ve finally got the final character portraits, goodbye placeholders!! What do you think? 😉 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #rpgmaker #rpgmakermz #horrorgame #conceptart #characterdesign #gameart
Demo posted the past weekend on the RPG Maker forum... finally, really happy with this! 😊 forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/nigt... #rpgmaker #indiegame #horrorgame #indiedev
Updated demo! ratasoftwareinc.itch.io/nisv-test3 Thanks A LOT to everyone who has played last few days 😘 I’ve also set up a Discord server to make it a bit easier to centralise feedback and bug reports.😉 discord.gg/nRRbFaD9V #rpgmaker #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev #demo #itchio
Chusé returned to San Vicente fleeing from himself... and he found something much worse 😈 #rpgmaker #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgame
Who wouldn't be happy to see their sibling again, especially on his birthday...? Demo (finally...) COMING SOON!!!! 😅 Follow and support the project in ratasoftwareinc.itch.io/nightmare-in... #rpgmaker #horrorgame #demo #indiegame #indiedev
The first phase of testing is coming to an end, and the feedback has been quite positive... the second phase is just around the corner!...😊 For my part, I’m taking the opportunity to design more subplots for the game. #rpgmaker #indiegame #indiedev #horrorgame
In this video, we see the beginning of the game, where the player picks up the instruction manual that will guide them through the game's mechanics. Once we've made sure the player has the manual, we let the story begin... #rpgmaker #gameplay #demo #indiegame #indiedev
After tons of hard work, we finally have a playable version of ‘Nightmare in San Vicente’. We’re going to check it for a while, and we’ll soon need playtesters. Feel free to get in touch! Thanks everyone for your support😉 #indiegame #rpgmaker #indiedev #itchio
Another dramatic ending for Chusé. Here you can see the new UI (I think this is the final version), and another subplot from "Nightmare in San Vicente". As always, any suggestions or feedback are welcome. #indiegame #horrorgame #rpgmaker #itchio #gameplay
Oh it’s simply a sort of quest log. As the player makes discoveries, various items with progress bars appear in the ‘threads’ menu. Every time the player discovers something with a thread that is already ‘open’, the thread’s description and the progress bar are updated.
The UI is almost finished – I’ve added a dinamic ‘Threads’ option in a customised main menu… not long to go now! What do you think? Any suggestions are welcome! 😘 #rpgmaker #indiedev #indiegame #itchio #gameplay #javascript #pixelart
The HUDs displaying changes in Horror, Depression, Madness and Wounds have now been designed. The events and effects for absinthe, surgical bandages and cigarettes have also been configured. #rpgmaker #itchio #horrorgame #indiedev #gameplay
Game Mechanics: Smoking. Even vices can save you in San Vicente. If the player has cigarettes and something to light them with (matches or a flame), they can smoke to reduce their madness. [Madness -1 🚬] #rpgmaker #horrorgame #indiegame #gameplay #itchio
