D1 - Justify Ideas In Relation To Current Trends
Judging by current trends in the video games industry, the
decision to produce a horror/puzzle game is justified and up to date. Firstly, with
the introduction of new consoles, such as the Xbox one and PlayStation 4, games
are becoming better and better both in visuals and complexity. The eighth
generation of consoles has brought more and more power to developers also with
the introduction of virtual reality.
This all comes into play when planning a new and unique
game. Many factors must be taken in, from things such as the game engine to
whether it will be VR compatible. There are currently a lot of horror games to choose
from on the market but not a lot of them include a complex storyline with interesting
and gripping puzzles and decision making. Most horror games are made simply to
scare the player and their friends for a few hours of fun, whereas Room 109
will focus on the complex storyline and interesting puzzles to keep the player
entertained and wanting to play more and more. It won’t be the scariest of
games out there neither will it be the best visual looking game, the art style is
unique and may take some time to fully adjust to, Room 109 will be aiming to
compete with the top games out there right such as Outlast and the likes of the
forest. These are all games that focus on the puzzles more than the initial
scare factor.
The game will be building in pace and tension right form the
very start, this is what will keep players entertained and glued to the screen.
As the game progresses throughout it gets more and more gripping with parts of
the story beginning to make some sense. The final part of the game is where
everything is revealed but in different ways so that everything is different
which is the big emphasis on the game that everything the player does and
interacts with is different, this is to help keep players entertained and makes
them want to enjoy the game all the way till the end.
