Do tell.

Christ the car handling looks like fucking shit.

>>14862060

If it has even half the features that were discussed in the thread and it runs smoothly with few bugs I'll be too impressed to actually care. Also if you want to do something with the idea you still can, nothing is stopping you.

>>14862149

>no clutch; no manual

how do you get something so wrong

Why do the cars appear to struggle to stay going in a straight line at seemingly low speeds. I get it's supposed to be rainy but it seems like whoever made this game has never driven a car in their life

>>14862111

I had no idea that was from tumblr. How the fuck was I supposed to know?

>>14862125

Fucking stop it before I wreck your asshole.

>>14862166

probably an issue with low traction+high torque, if you had manual shifting you could easily mitigate it.

>>14862050

Wow. Looks boring and shit at the same time. What an achievement.

>horror

Fucking soyboy genre.

>>14862173

Hey! This is a pretty good answer, thank you for making me understand.

>>14862171

Even so it looks like they're driving on ice and the car looks like it's supposed to be some shit soviet era slav car and not a 600 foot pound group B monster

>>14862060

Or maybe they just had the same idea. I mean, shit, I've thought of something similar to this.

>>14862050

The rustic unfinished vibe actually made it rather tense to watch.

>Car stops

>Bunch of faceless dudes run towards the player's car beelining straight for the door

>>14862187

Well it looked like it rained. Either way I don't really care if the driving is realistic as long as it's well done.

>>14862224

Well rain doesn't make you slip that much even on gravel. You say you don't mind if it's unrealistic as long as it's well done but being unable to drive in a straight line at low speeds without the game acting like you're on ice on bald tires means it's not well done

>>14862233

>but being unable to drive in a straight line at low speeds without the game acting like you're on ice on bald tires means it's not well done

Well he was being rammed during those segments which does a good job at making it look like that. Driving looks ok tbh.

>>14862242

I was actually referring to before then

>>14862270

From what I can see it doesn't look to unrealistic. Most of the slippery parts are just him hitting the edge of the road and climbing up an incline which naturally gives you drag while your moving forward.

>>14862094

This. Looks like a funny game to show how better a driver you are then the thing chasing you.

>>14862050

Seems neat, the car looks like it controls badly though.

>>14862294

So this is what Death Grips sounds like?

Interesting, I've never actually heard them before. I just know about the memes.

There are a lot of esoteric and occult themes in that song, I always assumed they were generic "bix nood muh dick" nigger rap.

>>14862315

> I always assumed they were generic "bix nood muh dick" nigger rap.

It's rap for white college kids

>>14862315

>There are a lot of esoteric and occult themes in that song, I always assumed they were generic "bix nood muh dick" nigger rap.

Their earlier stuff is mostly about dark stories. Their newest album and Bottomless Pit were huge disappointments.

>>14862060

I always wanted FPS / third person games to integrate racing sim physics into their games. Basically just increases the potential for what you can do. Imagine driving accurately around a city dodging objects with a good FFB steering wheel, then hopping out and switching to your mouse+KB. Brilliant.

I thought a game like this already came out a few years ago.

Should've gone with Eurobeat, honestly.

>no game where you outrun the eldritch horrors by drifting away from them

>>14862315

They just like making songs about the lowest rungs of society, no glorification in it.

>>14862050

I just watched the video and I'm familiar with the feeling that you might be getting followed while driving but the game itself looked pretty funny. Especially when the guys got out of the car and started flopping on it like ragdolls. It looked extremely funny.

>>14862356

It's not fair to compare Beware, one of the most lyrically brilliant songs of the entire decade, with one of their worst songs.

>>14862356

I swear to Christ, I hadn't read your post, just looked at the image, and I thought the first part was a E.A. Poe poem or some shit, and the second was generic nigger rap. How the fuck does a band manage to eat shit that hard in the span of seven years?

>>14862366

Because all modern entertainers are fed things packaged to them for the purpose of manufacturing thought control.

>>14862322

>Their newest album and Bottomless Pit were huge disappointments.

Really? That's disappointing, I was hoping they kept up the interesting themes. You never hear those concepts in mainstream music.

>>14862356

Oh my God.

How do you go from that to "BOOTY ON THE OUTSIDE DO ME CUZ IT SOUNDS TIGHT"? Did one of their members die?

>>14862356

Beware is their best song by far, to be fair. Everything works excellently together; pretty much an anthem to evil itself.

Streaky is boring, which is something new to Death Grips. While I respect them going their own way (they've said that they prefer moving from one sound to another, point which they made clear at the end of Government Plates) I'm not sure I enjoy this direction. I'd have to wait for them to release the entire album.

>>14862380

If you want to give them a try, give Exmilitary a listen. They go from serial killers to cult members. If you like it, try The Money Store, NO LOVE DEEP WEB Government Plates.

>>14862327

Wasn't there that FPS car game on DOS?

I think it was called Armageddon.

>>14862060

Nobody wants to copy your awful ideas.

>>14862380

>I was hoping they kept up the interesting themes.

The themes are half present, the production part of it is just so weak. The lyrics are lackluster.

>>14862393

>Beware is their best song by far, to be fair. Everything works excellently together; pretty much an anthem to evil itself.

I agree lyrically, the production is also air tight on it. Their variety to me was their best quality where they could hit the killer beat, klaxon made hook in in The Fever. Songs that rolled like pop music but had sick lyrics like I've Seen Footage, the soul draining Centuries of Damn with its whining guitar that sounds like something from the post apocalypse.

>>14862294

Nope.

This isn't making me like niggers.

>>14862405

Their last good album was The Powers That B.

Steroids was great for beats, but the lyrics were catchy instead of interesting.

>I love you so much

>>14862413

Wouldn't it be funny if the whole thing was just ripped off of our ideas?

>>14862418

That'd be funny in the same way hitting your dick with a hammer is funny

>>14862149

>>14862154

Maybe the devs have never made a car game before?

>>14862166

>I get it's supposed to be rainy but it seems like whoever made this game has never driven a car in their life

Are the devs from a big city?

You'd be shocked how many people from those areas have never driven on the outbacks before, they think the roads are really hard to drive on so they avoid them.

>>14862125

>if ur a girl uwu

you know the drill

>>14862173

I really enjoy this, and it seems like something that should be possible, the biggest factor being making a map big/interesting enough

>>14862149

It's also some balkan piece of shit clunker of a car, the only feasible reason it would be an automatic is if the devs were burgers who've never driven a car.

>>14862230

I have no idea why they called this a Local58 video, but it's very well done in its own right.

>>14862346

>>14862447

Part of a series of 2 other videos, both of which are pretty cool and spooky. Unfortunate that the writer isn't doing anything more with it, the moon one was my favorite and there isn't enough spooky TV media out there.

>>14862169

the UI maybe?

>>14862453

Sounds like Vangers, honestly, replace skellingtons with bugmonsters and you've got it perfect.

a better PS1 styled horror game already exsists.

Wasn't there a 4th? I just mean that the driving video has nothing to do with a local broadcasting station.

>>14862660

Well Ride looks like a really skinny version of Wesley.

>>14862050

The music that started when the other car was in the rearview totally took all the weight out of that. Just made it feel corny. They should have kept it to environmental noises only.

Is it a driving sim where you have to drive through a highway populated by female drivers?

>>14862315

They've played with a lot of different styles over the years. That track's from Exmilitary, which was their first release in 2011, whereas then there's embed related from Jenny Death, which was their fourth release in 2015.

>>14862969

>>14862315

Then there's this embed related from its album of the same name in 2016

>>14862434

>>14862173

I'd say have some semi-random generated road sections. There also needs to be some NPCs, like if you need to change a tire or do oil/gas/jumpstarts. They might be helpful, but some are just human jerks and some are secretly ghosts. You can carjack them, but expect them to chase after you too. You might also have cars on the other lane swerving and so forth. Also you can have Duel moments and run-ins at gas stations– some abandoned, some with an attendent (good or ill), stuff like that. Imagine having to make that walk all around the gas station with that key you have to get from the attendent inside only to have to head into a dingy Silent Hill-grade bathroom.

Would there be a GPS installed in your car? Only on the Easy settings? How much music on the radio/news chatter would there be? Would music calm your nerves but draw more monsters to you?

>>14863024

GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKER, I WANT MALL PLANET. We called it "You Are Here." I also want a video game of Night Shift, but that would require actual work so it wouldn't happen.

>>14863000

>How much music on the radio/news chatter would there be? Would music calm your nerves but draw more monsters to you?

I know this will sound like it's ripped straight out of Silent Hill, and that's because it is. One of the things I liked about that series is the way the radio picked up monster sounds. Similarly, the car radio could pull double duty. Like you said, there could be some kind of stress variable that rises with time and setting the radio to a music station can reduce that stress. On the other hand, you can also set the radio to a specific, local station that broadcasts nothing but static until a creature gets close, at which point, you'll hear a specific sound based on whatever's coming for you, but your stress level rises. Stress management would force you to choose between reducing stress and being warned about threats. This would be particularly important when you need to make stops as it should be one of very few ways to have any warning of threats. On higher difficulties, hearing sounds made by certain enemies can raise your stress level so quickly that you only get about five seconds to turn off the radio before you go insane. While I don't think it should just be an instant game over, I do think it should carry a heavy penalty, like forcing the MC to stop the car as he tries to get his shit back together.

>>14862322

>Their newest album and Bottomless Pit

The newest album is a bit weak, but I thought Bottomless Pit was good. I don't really think they're in decline, if that's what you're implying, they have made weak releases before. Government Plates wasn't great, and Niggas on the Moon was trash.

>>14862408

the instrumentals are done by white guys anyway

>>14863066

I was imagining the stress akin to Eternal Darkness/Amnesia's take. You need to take your mind off the dark dread lest you start seeing things or swere more, leading to fatal crashes. Some ghostly threats might be picked up via the radio on the (generic instrumental takes of varying genres) music tracks, like whispered voices, breathing, etc. Leaving the radio on might also eat at fuel, battery, and all that.

I think the game would be pretty loosely tied, like it's merely scenarios you can choose and might have bookends treating these like ghost stories someone might be narrating. They all don't have to be at night. Some can be under fog, hazy downpouring rain with shadowy figures in the mist, snowy mountain drives with spirits shrouded in the snow. Desert ghost towns, Lousiana rural backroads by the swamp, nearing New England/Pacific Northwest ports, you name it.

Since it's the du jour, the game would be in first person. Though you CAN get out of your car, don't expect getting too far on foot away from it before it turns too dark or lonesome, becoming a jump scare game over from whatever creature. At most, you might hop from one car to another, being by the side of the road, or heading into a gas station/truck stop with maybe less than one block to walk about safely (like maybe across a street). Basically if there's no street light or headlight nearby you, it's danger zone.

>>14863128

>You need to take your mind off the dark dread lest you start seeing things

This could also be a positive as some creatures might only be visible when you're highly stressed, but as those are rare, it's not a good idea to risk it. I was also thinking that higher difficulties could have a creature made of sound itself, so hearing it on the radio is basically giving it access to your body. I wouldn't want it to be an instant game over, though, as it would introduce RNG into whether or not you die just from turning on the radio.

>like whispered voices, breathing, etc.

I was thinking that, too. A specific example would be pulling up to a gas station with the radio off. You can see a figure moving around inside, but you can't make it out too well from where you parked. You turn the radio on to the local monster detection station and hear someone whispering about how they're going to kill you. You now know that the figure inside the gas station is a hostile ghost as only ghosts would have discernible, human speech, and now you have to decide if the gas is worth the risk. Alternatively, you could hear whispering about how boring things are, but peaceful is best. You now know the figure in the gas station is a friendly ghost who might give you directions, repair your car a bit, or warn you about threats further down the road, like telling you to be sure to listen to the radio on a music station between two certain mile markers as the monster in that area hates loud sounds.

While I like the idea of the game being shorter play sessions of randomly selected areas to add variety in locations and potential monsters, I also think it might make the game too ambitious for an indie project and introduce feature creep.

>>14862050

Those driving conditions are horrific, but the second car turned it more into a road rage simulator than a horror game.

>>14862230

Glad I'm not the only one that thought of this.

How about Dead End Road?

>>14862447

It did seem pretty bizarre to me, but I guess it's either their only horror series, or the creators wanted the extra exposure. Could just be some sort of half-joke too, some people like it when series go in totally non-sensical directions

>>14862551

>Distance yourself enough from horrific abomination chasing your car on foot, far enough to trigger the victory condition

>Cutscene starts playing

>Hear another roaring engine

>Creature is fucking run over by this pimped-out white car out of nowhere

>Window winds down

>Pitch black arm inside indicates in your direction

>Halloween-themed eurobeat starts playing

>>14863128

>>14863272

That kind of stuff's fucking lame. A driving horror game shouldn't need any gimmicks.

>>14862446

>Asks about where all the low T shit is coming from

>Posts skulltrash

There's your answer.

>>14863544

I remember those, good stuff

Hopefully this will live up to those stories

>>14863544

To add to the forest/field routes: The main scare factor of these would be that they basically reduce the car to tank controls due to muddy roads, fallen trees blocking the road, etc. Not to speak of the chance of getting lost within the forest until you run out of gas. Because then you are seriously fucked.

>>14863558

Perhaps a way to expand your garage at your base so you can bring other cars in and take parts out for other cars, for instance taking a stronger engine or tires with more grip for a offroads designated vehicle

>walking sim except it's a car.

>>14863572

I would not really include a permanent base at all, but rather have the player be entirely nomadic. This way, you could only stockpile as many resources as you can fit into your car (and their weight may slow down your driving speed/performance)

Take that pic off. Revy is a shit tier waifu and a nigger.

Coming to think of it, what if you could shake off agressive vehicles by intentionally driving towards a cryptid/eldritch abonimation so that it eats them instead of you?

What if the entire game needs you to find monsters with hillbillies so the monsters stay in their forests?

>>14863647

>>14863666

Listen trips man I don't care what you say, used goods aren't worth having any care for.

Then again that's just women in general, but used goods are at least worth going the extra mile for.

>>14863669

Fuck you Satan you made me accidentally swap the two terms there at the end.

I mean't virgins are worth going the extra mile for, used goods don't eve require effort to get.

Which is why the chiggeress fell for the gook beta.

>>14862173

The game exists. SBFP did an episode of it. Too lazy to look. Was quite a while back. Graphics were not realistic though. You did have to manager fuel and parts and stuff though.

>>14862320

>tfw the majority of DG fans right now are liberal arts students and underage thots

what the fuck happened? does Fagtano really attract such obnoxious mouthbreathers?

>>14862173

You know I don't think I can be afraid of any monsters while in a car.

Its a fucking car, run them over.

Now with some out of car sections or having different modes of transport I can see it. Maybe make it like a cryptid cross country tour where you go around and have to watch out for the local breed of monster. Sometimes a car just goes totally broken on you and you gotta steal a new one or rely on smaller scale means like bikes, scooters, etc which wear down your needs way faster.

>>14863000

Definitely go light on random generation. Theres too much randomly generated shit nowadays, at most have some minor events randomized.

Though the radio could really play into the horror. News and talk shows are plentiful at the start talking about all the monsters out there but slowly they start going off, music sometimes goes to static which would draw in monsters, and eventually you're left with choosing nothing at all to make driving harder, static which draws monsters, or the last remaining show on some ham radio whose talking up the monsters as the crazy guy who was actually prepared for it all, acting as the middle ground of both bad options.

This is probably the only game where an attention bar would do well. Driving a long straight road with no music? You start swerving and having tunnel vision. See a monster? Shit spikes too high and even slight tweaks on your end send the car into a full turn.

There already IS a car driving horror game and it is better.

I vaguely remember reading that Gamebryo is such a mess of an engine (presumably due to its core design being wildly outdated) that it can't even produce a two-signal traffic light, i.e, the only means to flip the light would be to replace "Instance_TrffcLght_Red" with "Instance_TrffcLght_Green".

>>14863544

>>14862400

I don't mean that. Games have cars like GTA, half life, call of duty battlefield etc, but I mean have those cars compatible with a g29 steering wheel. Games like Assetto Corsa should really license their physics to package into fps games to make them 'fun'.

>>14862060

>>14862060

Actually I saw the guy who made this posting about working on this game in an indie game development thread on another forum a few years ago. He talked about how hard he was trying to perfect the enemy's driving, and his clips were impressive, but that was without all the fog and gritty shit making it hard to see. Also the car was driven in third-person, which looked better in my opinion.

>Game is pseudo-randomly generated; sometimes you have to escape, other times you have to put a specific object or entity back in its cell, or research them.

>>14873198

>Truck simulator, but with creeping horror elements that aren't advertised

>First 6 hours or so are just a simulator

>One night while driving your vehicle and doing your job, you spot a shadow moving away from the spotlights out the corner of your eye

>One hour of gameplay later, you start hearing strange noises as you drive down the road that you can't link to any sort of animal

>Another hour later, you start to see things like pairs of eyes shining in the moonlight in the wilderness as you drive past it, more galloping figures in the woods, etc.

>Then you hear something hit the side of your truck with a loud thud

>Look at rear view mirror

>Nothing's there, but one of your tires is popped

>>14873263

>So basically are more fleshed-out SCP: Containment Breach or whatsitcalled?

Less overtly spooky shit. You won't be chasing down monsters and shit like that, that's above your paygrade, and the game might fuck with you and there really is nothing supernatural going on at all. You're basically a minimum wage, bumbling retard (or a genre savvy loner if you choose hardmode) and do guard stuff, like patrolling the premises during the day or night, depending on your shift, escorting scientists, etc.

As the game progresses things start to become weirder and weirder as everyone in the place starts to unravel (except for you, for whatever reason).

>>14873290

Maybe the only horror element that should be that the baseline story/goal is to figure out what happened to your predecessor's shipment and truck.

You obviously find out very quickly the first night

>>14873306

I'd also include a minor upgrade system:

>If you survive the night, and make your payload, you tell your boss about this when he's ragging on you for being late and not having any evidence

>You ask for a weapon to defend yourself and maybe some money to better armor your vehicle

>To do this though, you need to gather the trophys and sell them to your boss, who will then give you the raw materials.

>The problem is, the first viable enemy in the game is a pack hunter, and you need to isolate it by luring it into a cave- all the while you're being dogged down by even deadlier monsters, and don't know what's in that cave.

>Game continually fluctuates between power, but the player is always kept tense by some horror they cannot yet survive.

>>14873333

Eventually though, you'll hear a news ticker over the radio of your deeds- and mysteriously the phenomenon spreading across the globe

>People forced to travel in armored convoys

>you'll need a full one for the final boss. They all die, though.

>>14873289

If such a thing were to exist, the game would NEED an SCP/subject which basically is Alma, that is, a girl with psycho powers or whatnot that isn't even evil but just reflects the constant abuse and "experiments" she experienced from the researchers.

Good ending sees you adopting her as your daughteru, and shows a still shot of her smiling for the first time since you met

>>14873290

Would be difficult to sell from an advertising standpoint, unless its some indie game that can live through word-of-mouth propaganda.

>>14873297

Might be neat as something that starts as an "Endless Eight" style mission where you seemingly do the same shitty tasks every day but the initially subtle changes grow increasingly more obvious and reach mindfuck levels if you actually look out for them.

>>14873347

>Good ending sees you adopting her as your daughteru, and shows a still shot of her smiling for the first time since you met

Actually, why not just go full retard and have an Eldritch Abomination Raising Simulator.

Here's your murderloli, try to steer her away from the path of human genocide!

>>14873346

Your selected country also picks what monsters and traits happen in that playthrough:

Ant/Arctic/Canada/Russia for example:

MONSTERS: Wendigos, Yetis, Frostmaws, Tuunbaq,

NEUTRAL LIFE:

Sasquatch (Will go after you if hungry, but will definitely opt for any food you offer instead. Very rare and elusive, but will keep you safe for a few minutes if you find one.) etc.

TRAITS: Iceroads (extremely risky shortcut, must be careful that you don't fall through the ice, must be aware of monsters under the ice, must not move too quickly, be aware of other drivers. Monsters get no coverage, which means you also cannot hide from them, but they cannot hide from you.

FORESTED: Winding roads with poor visibility and mobility, though the monsters will have the same issues.

AUSTRALIA: Austrailian Gigadeath (basically a giant spider-scorpion), Fleshrender (a skinless, highly aggressive variant of the Sasquatch that steals people's flesh and wears it as a coat. Cannot be pacified like the sasquatch) and Maulgore; a loose amalgamation of various gore and dead people wrapped around a hideous, vaguely crocadilian-kangaroo body. Can very easily total your truck and kill you instantly. Avoid at all costs.

>>14873403

forgot australia's trait, but it's similar enough to "iceroads" to not matter (tremors style graboids and whatnot)

>>14873382

Niggers and Jews aren't human.

>>14873401

That's actually quite brilliant.

>>14873401

>when you're less worried about the monsters chasing your truck but the audible noise of your cargo starting to break out of its cage

>The delivery site is just five minutes away, you might make it.

>AUSTRALIA: Austrailian Gigadeath (basically a giant spider-scorpion), Fleshrender (a skinless, highly aggressive variant of the Sasquatch that steals people's flesh and wears it as a coat. Cannot be pacified like the sasquatch) and Maulgore; a loose amalgamation of various gore and dead people wrapped around a hideous, vaguely crocadilian-kangaroo body. Can very easily total your truck and kill you instantly. Avoid at all costs.

And then it turns out your cargo is the reanimated corpse of Steve Irvin.

>>14873420

>>14873428

>It turns out you're being stalked by monster because the company you work for is hunting and capturing them to sell them to the government

>The monsters want to save their kin and enact revenge on YOU

>>14873420

I would try to avoid the typical 'uncaring employers/handlers' shtick though. As soon as the cat is out of the bag, the game should change

>>14873428

Brilliant. That's dog-ending tiers of wonderful.

Maybe at some point your truck is either stolen or destroyed and you have to have a silent-hill moment of surviving in the wild or an abandoned town.

>Go inside at night

>Suddenly hear an extremely loud booming

>Look out the window

>An unbelivably large monster is stomping about. It stops.

>A glowing eye fills the window.

>You freeze in terror

>It doesn't seem interested you.

>But you hear a creak from another room and an unsettling growl.

>If you LEAVE, that thing outside might eat you.

>If you STAY, that thing inside might eat you.

>>14873445

Glorious. And it makes sense.

>People attacked by literally whats

>World has no clue or evidence of these things, they're way too elusive and there's almost no trace of the vehicle or victim

>People and goverment are getting concerned as this is escalating even up to threat levels that SHOULD NOT Be kept secret considering people are going missing in the thousands every single night.

>You need to ferry these things to the government so they can be researched and be a bit more survivable.

>>14873428

Also Zombie-Irwin would be a hilarious NG+ companion.

"Ever tell ya about the time i got skewered in the chest mate? Sea flapjack's tail went ROOOIGHT into me. Wasn't gonna have it. Yanked it out. Now oi'm dead m8. Croikey….

…Hey mayte, if you get creamed, can oi eat your brain?"

>>14873466

Having reports of people being attacked would give it away though. It needs to be a coverup plot since you're driving a generic road truck.

>>14873489

Ehh, I guess, but something of this scale is impossible to cover up entirely, so they do need to let -some- cats out of the bag.

>More and more people hear about the reports

>Less and less people at night

>The monsters are hungrier.

>>14873480

I'd be more interested about him going Irwin on some eldritch abomination

>Now THIS is a beauty! Long, slendah protoplasm tendrils, and a crest size of at least eight feet!

>Crickey, she nearly got me roigth there!

>Careful now mayte, I think she's gettin' a lil' iffy!

>>14873480

>toss jars of vegim8 at creepy crawlies so Steve can buy you some toime

now we're cooking with gas

>>14873496

Maybe the monsters need to be as they are now - considered myths, a rare sight, because the government is catching them all.

>>14873510

>>14873506

I fucking love these.

Pros:

>Having irwin gives you a higher survivability rating to any and all monsters.

>He's exceptionally well versed on any monster despite never even encountering them before.

Cons:

>He himself being a monster/zombie bro, he still has the insatiable craving for your brains and flesh. You CAN usually snap him out of this state though.

>>14873519

I guess, but most of the goverment myths and seedings should be along the lines of "If you somehow do encounter this legend, slam your breaks and immediately speed away from this creature because it will kill you by so much as sneezing""

What would we name our game?

Terror Convoy?

Fear Truck?

Road Monster? (might be best for the whole bait-and-switch of the horror theme?)

>>14873545

There should also only be a few minor indicators on the box-art that it's a horror game (like the backround being too dark but has one of those weird old vinyl covers that reveals things depending on the light/positioning relative to one's sight.

the biggest horror is when I get on the road I can barely drive and I think I'm going blind. I just put my foot to the gas and hope for the best

>>14873469

this would be really hot if it wasnt poop

>trucker lingo for San Fagcisco is gay bay

mein sides

>>14873545

>What would the name be?

"Convoy."

Just "Convoy."

>>14862050

Are the main monsters pajeet drivers?

>dude rolls up in your rear view mirror with a pos sedan

>he has his brights on and keeps honking at you when the traffic light is red

>HORROR VIOLIN CUES IN

>>14862060

To be fair, it was a good idea and a good thread.

I want my damn driving horror game, and I want a good one DAMN IT!

>>14873588

Could make for a neat mechanic:

>Some asshole on the road

>For fuck sakes. You don't have to deal with this shit

>He starts yelling at you as you leave your truck and go to the back.

>You open your truck and one of the crates then hurry out of the way

>Monster mangles the douche, but now you have to get him back in the box.

>>14873588

>Russia level

>Instead of running after you, the monsters are driving cars

>Crashing into you at ever turn

>>14873263

What about if they work like an unreliable rally co-driver?

>pitch back country road

>very quickly you realize they are feeding you bad turns

>when you try to do the opposite they get increasingly AGITATED with further turn calls

>they only start to calm if you somewhat lean into the turns as advised

>>14864342

I got my parents to buy me one when I was still a teen

It fucking sucks, enjoy turning your head 5 degrees IRL to turn your head 45 degrees in game. It's as if your head was a mouse except without all of the fine control you have in your wrist and fingers. I feel bad for suggesting they buy it, I went back to holding a key to activate mouselook and never returned

>>14873614

Does he turn into a skeleton after getting mad enough?

>>14862315

>There are a lot of esoteric and occult themes in that song

that's their whole gimmick and it's fucking great because of it

really get my /x/ on when I play some death grips

Looks like this has been in development for awhile now.

Wasn't there another driving horror game that isn't Dead End Road? Either way this looks kind of cheesy and the driving doesn't look all that great in the ops embed but in the older videos the drifting seems kind of fun.

>>14863073

> Government Plates wasn't great, and Niggas on the Moon was trash

>>14873664

>You were the monsters all along!

>>14873108

>W-what is that? I wasn't around for that bread

As far as I remember, it originated on cuck/tg/.

And after ten minutes of searching I can't fucking find it. It used to be archived on sup/tg/. Holy fuck. It was developed right around the same time as Night Shift: https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Night_Shift

I'd rather do that as a kind of timed mission where you explicitly are told that you are transporting a super-horny snake grill and that you need to bang her every few hours, or else she gets unruly.

Problem is, this has to be a quick delivery, so you have to balance between finding places to park your truck and enter the back to satisfy the hissy and your general time limit as the clock gets melting down.

>>14873977

>>14862060

Was that the thread where someone pointed out we basically wanted a game that already exists called "Jalopy" or some other eastern european game, just with randomized paranormal shit that may or may not happen on the road?

Cause that was a great thread and I'm not upset in the slightest if the game ends up anything like that.

>>14862050

So, is it a game about sharing the road with nothing but female drivers?

>>14874302

Is this Life with a Slave parody artwork or an actual game?

>>14874336

It is done by the same guy, but I don't think it is a game, he likes his creepy waifus too.

>>14874045

horror game but there are some humorous moments, like the aforementioned NG+ Steve Irwin Zombie

>>14862173

That's pretty nice. It would be cool if there were more variants like overheating the car or battery power. Having to do shit like turning off the lights or temporarily turning off the car or even have to go and use water from your water supply to keep the car running. Also, shit like the monsters can see your lights so you have to turn them off to flee, or even worse, they can hear the motor so if you're hiding you have to turn it off.

I really want this game now.

>>14874517

>>14862060

And this is why I hate TetraDev memeing.

>>14877328

So writes TetraDev

The best horror driving game I've played was Siren. I can't believe I've managed to 100% finished that game back in days with fucking shit tons of collectives. If god tells me to replay that game I'll deny.

Siren 1 has more scary driving than this game. It even had zombies hitting the car and windows breaking everytime.

>>14884450

>>14873236

"Working at a creepy ass weirdo gas station" is the conceit of Night Shift. The basic idea isn't necesarrily horror, it's that the store gets weird at night and the night crew doesn't talk to the day shift about it. Some examples of strange events:

>The gas pump grumbles while it pumps.

>The shelves all face themselves, at once, with a great amount of force, as if they're passive-aggressively cleaning themselves

>Picking up the mop to go clean literally summons customers from nowhere, in the way that any normal worker jokes it does.

>>Aforementioned summoned customer is confused and lost most of the time.

>Customer has strange currency that, while looking mostly like normal bills, has strange deviances that don't appear handmade (the portrait has one eye and an eyepatch, looks much younger than usual, etc)

and as time goes on, or you work more consecutive shifts, more weird shit happens:

>There's a set of stairs leading down in the back. This store doesn't have a basement, as you recall.

>Someone goes into the bathroom and doesn't leave. When you go to check, the doors are missing, replaced with blank wall.

>When you pop open your till, you swear it's empty. Once you close it and open it again, it's fine, with a note of hastily-scrawled apology.

>>14884450

So how are those Kim visits going?

>>14884746

Night Shift is an amazing idea. I remember in one of the threads someone suggested that management or the day shift would leave notes on things that needed to be done, like unclogging the toilet, replacing a broken mirror, and make sure the door to the tool shed is marked with fresh goat blood every 20 minutes or so. And don't open it until sunrise.

You could even use that in a spooky driving game. Say a friendly babushka tells you that the spirits down the next stretch of road hate the smell of incense. Of course, maybe you're strapped for cash or she's lying and trying to make a quick buck off of you. And it's gonna get pretty smelly inside the car with burning incense. You could lower the windows but the smell of incense might put something else on your trail.

Anyone remembers this game? It feels like I'm the only one who knows it.
