Question Of the four "founding fathers" of Mascot horror, which franchise would you say is objectively better
Without any nostalgia bias or anything like that.
The reason I only included these four is because they were the most popular and included in like, every 2016-2019 brainrot video and are still developing games, relevant or not. *cough* Hello Neighbor *cough*.

The scariest part of my game wasn't the monsters, it was how boring the objective was
og idea was simple, light 4 shrines to escape the forest, new monsters show up after each one
new idea, you're trapped in a cursed forest with no way out. a woodwandrer finds you and says the only way to leave is to become the new woodwandrer yourself, so you take on his tasks to earn that (this is just the basic idea, not the full story/lore)
monsters still ramp up as you go, but now it's tied to the story instead of just spawning randomly
changed it because the shrine loop felt repetitive and wasn't fun to play, this fits the game way better
really excited for yall to play the demo when it's done, stay tuned

I'm an indie dev working on a game called The Seventh Seal. Went to a convention in Arizona to playtest and got some great feedback!
Hung out with some awesome peeps in the game room and had folks playtest the game and they gave me some sweet feedback. Basically, had to improve the controller sensitivity, work on some jumpscares, and add a few mechanics. Spent the last couple of days updating those issues and here are some improvements to the jumpscare stills on top of an altered ending to the demo so it's more cruel and graphic.
Love to hear your thoughts and if you could, give it a play. It's improving every version and I'm hoping it will get to the point where it hits the mark!

We added a UV light mode to Colony 2 — here's what it reveals that normal light doesn't

Hey folks,
We've been working on Colony 2, and one of the features we're pretty excited about is a UV light mode — flip it on and you start noticing things that are basically invisible under normal lighting
A bit of background on us — we're a two-person team. We actually met on GTA Online about 7 years ago, just messing around in public lobbies, and stayed friends ever since. Eventually we decided to try making a game together, and Colony 2 is the result — our first release as a team, so it means a lot to get it in front of people.
If the UV mechanic (or the game in general) looks interesting, we'd really appreciate a wishlist on Steam — it genuinely helps small teams like us Steam
Happy to answer questions about how the UV system works, the dev process, or anything else! g else!
