Nova is Dead

Horror game prototype! Cool PSX style game where you play as a crazed axe murderer with a twist! Your mind is clouded by the dense fog of a distant planet which draws closer every day. You must kill to free yourself from its' influence. 

Inspired by Major's Mask, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil, Bloodborne, and the character Raskolinkov from 'Crime and Punishment' by Fydor Dostoevsky.

This was made purely as a learning experience to get better at making games! For this project, I wanted to focus on different types of cameras, camera effects, and building a horror atmosphere. I used 3 fixed camera angles: two follow the player and change depending on proximity, and the last one is fixed for the final kill camera and end game sequence. I also used a rail camera which intros the game by slowly panning into the main scene, past the huge moon, while showing an intro exposition on screen.

Character, trains, planet, and environment were all modeled and textured by me. Sound effects and music are from some of my favorite games like Majora's Mask and Silent Hill 2. Nova and the other NPC are models from Kings Field 2.
