Cleosetric

@Cleosetric it's not really that common I guess, but common enough because it's a real concern raised by nanotechnology, having them self replicate and eat everything else. Yeah, like that will happen. Wait... *looks at her body carefully, looks at the grass, looks at the trees* Oh my god... it ALREADY DID!

I always liked the nano machines concept. It's more common tha you think. Maybe not in videogames, but in media in general.

There's nothing wrong with trying to come up with a unique concept, but if development takes you in a cliché direction, just go with it. The more naturally the process is usually the better the result is too.

In other words don't try and force a unique idea if it's just not flowing.

Heat death.

Merge them and make it a sci-fi horror project!

:'D such a mindblowing, brutal machine.

Majora's Mask IS a horror game. It's just not exclusively one and it's brand of horror is a lot more subtle then most. But I mean, have you seen the animations when you put on the masks? Have you see the moon slowly getting nearer? Have you seen how utterly terrified people are on the third day?

True dat. It's dark for sure. I have a hard time calling a game suitable for kids as horror though. It's about as horror as an "E" rating will allow though. So, we solved you're problem, Cleostric. Just totally rip off Majora's Mask =-D

Horror isn't about blood or guys, it's about creeping dread.

i dont have any problem in sprite or tileset, but i dont have any idea to make more horrific story, i was reading this http://www.mindspring.com/~ernestm/horror/horror.html but i understand nothing.

What kind of game are you trying to make. Is it a full fledged horror game or a mor etradition RPG with some horror elements. If the fromer, what kind of horror game do you want to make?

ehm you can find the project somewhere titled 'Outcandle' and im try to make Puzzle RPG Game with Horror-Ghotic Themes, and yes Action tho.

matching pattern while pushing the block yeah sure that was nice.

I made one of those! 9 blocks total that make the image of a dragon. All to magically open hidden door (with magic). XD

you so briliant, don't mind if i used that too?, i still developing the game but i don't know too much about puzzle, if you don't mind can i contact you to consultancy about puzzle?.

@flashy yeah, i think that's worth to try, i mean when actor face a boss, she must solve another puzzle to give damage to the real boss before the boss itself, like a hocrux i guess, so after destroying all hocrux boss health is weaken and easily to defeat. that's fantastic idea, thank you.

Legend of Zelda and games for that ilk are good for puzzle ideas. In many cases you cannot access an area (both to complete the game or to find hidden stuff) until you acquire a special skill or item. Simple example: A rock or crack in the wall that can be blown up with a bomb. But you have no bombs. You have to get them later in the game and revisit the area. You can also make an optional dungeon that's broken into sections. Each section cannot be completed until you have a certain item...

or skill. The final section cannot be completed until you have all the required skills/items. That usually happens just before the last level/boss fight.

wow you're awesome thanks for your recomendation. i'll play it.

I think the wild arms series has a decent amount of puzzle but I haven't played them personally. If you want puzzle in dungeons ,my best reference is this small serie called Legend of Zelda

@Shiggy: Actually, the Legend of Zelda isn't a 'small series', its one of Nintendo's biggest & most successful franchises aside from the Mario games. But I agree, the Legend of Zelda series does have a lot of good puzzles.
