How would you design the next creepypasta game, /mlp/?
>>27409691
Pages of analysis notes of the show, of other mlp creepypastas, and of folklore and mythology in general, thousands of lines of code, pseudocodes and class design statements, hours spent on graphics in photoshop, music production/mastering in logic pro x, storyboards and storyline writing, fixing plot discontinuities, inconsistencies and logic holes, and a few other things here and there. I should know cause I'm doing it
But I am really curious as to other opinions, what would people like to see and/or do in a new mlp game?
>>27409691
Cupcakes/Surgeon Simulator crossover.
Probably not that scary, now that I think about it.
>>27409691
Probably something innocent, like a small memory/match3/whatever game.
Except for a few people (based on the computer's MAC) the game would switch on overly gory graphic with creepy dialogues, and maybe some additional content.
Program would check other active process when launched, and wouldn't activate "creepypasta" mode if there is a recording software running - preventing other people from having a "nice & clean" video of the phenomenon.
Damn, I nearly want to start working on it.
It will be a game about browsing /mlp/ all day
>>27409691
I'd want to expand on some of the unexplained elements of the show in much the same way that Story of the Blanks did. It would have to be very different from that game, though, since the show's lore has changed so much since the early days. Perhaps I could go with a different type of spookiness altogether and have Twilight discover a dark side to alicorns, so the dangers would be coming from herself rather than a monster. Either way I'd want to leave things without a complete explanation by the end, and do it in a way that stays semi-plausible within show canon rather than derailing it entirely.

I had an idea for one awhile ago, but since I'm a lazy fuck I never started it. The premise was a parody of the Gameboy advance game "Pinkie Pie's Birthday Surprise", in which the goal of the game was for the player (as Pinkie Pie) to find all of her birthday presents hidden around town that her friends had left for her.
My version would have involved Ponies dissapearing from the town one by one as the player found more presents. More unsettling would be the gifts left by the other members of the main six - an ordinary bag of flour, a bucket filled with turnips, a large rock, a giant ball of lint. Each one of these gifts would cause the corresponding gift-giver not only to dissapear, but also everyone would forget they even existed.
I pictured the final scene in the game would be Pinkie at her birthday party, surrounded by her new "friends", as she pictures that it's really the main six, while the player sees flashes of her being alone and surrounded by inanimate objects.

Without ponies. Ponies and horror combined together is gay.
Would probably design a game that accurately recreated this gem, even though the ending is complete garbage;
http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/NES_Godzilla_Creepypasta
>you wake up in a regal bed in Canterlot Castle to a morbid, guttural, nightmarish noise
>you look up and around the room in POV and all is fine
>you get up and walk through the halls
>some subtly creepy shit happens
>it gets worse and worse based on the choices you take
>it's left to the audience to infer that it's from Luna's perspective, pre-tantabus-extermination
>maid ponies try to assassinate her
>she gets chased through the halls by an Amnesia Gatherer variant of her sister
>she is tortured with imagery that reminds her of the consequences of immortality
>and so on
>>27409825
That's pretty solid, nice idea Anon
>>27409691
I wouldn't. Creepypasta is overdone anyway.
>>27410207
I'd remake that... if I had the rights to Godzilla.
and if I had a good level designer.
>creepypasta
Cant wait for this meme to die already.
If I'm about to make horror game focused on story i'd go for either Ren'Py or GameMaker.

>either Ren'Py or GameMaker.
But half the fun of the creepypasta games is that they fuck with you if you try to reverse engineer them.
Using a pre-built engine makes it just a game.
>>27410705
>>27410846
creepypastas are underage edgelords, anyway
Hey here's a stupid idea, make a creepypasta game that checks if you have a 4chan pass and reuploads itself on /mlp/.
Like Cornellia with 4chan passes.
>>27410828
>Have you ever raped anyone?
Funny how a question that's creepy to most people would be seen as a reasonable inquiry on this board.

Or any other engine and framework which actually gets the job done. I find it autistic how everyone in this fandom is so lazy that they can't even bother googling a new freeware engine which might be 100x times better than the garbage the 99% are using.

Or Unity, or Unreal.
Both are free for amateurs / small business now.

>Haxe
Oh please, enough with the hipster crap.

>>27409847
So... you actually have some ideas or just the general direction where you want it to go for?
Silent Ponyville died over four years ago...
>>27410190
Could be a really neat game if executed properly
>>27410964
Ahaha thanks for linking my vocaroo! I'm glad people checked it out =) It's part of the soundtrack I'm doing for the game, but the full version of the song will be released along with the game
>>27411986
I'm the first post you linked. I have a lot of concete ideas, I just don't want to give away too much just yet, it'd ruin some parts of the game I think. Right now I'm combing through all the mlp episode transcripts to get an idea of what would/wouldn't work in the mlp universe given what the show's revealed and hinted at. That and code, lots of code. I use a game framework that allows me to do some neat stuff but the game engine is all my own code.
>>27411986
Honestly, I hadn't thought about doing this before, so everything you just heard was off the top of my head. Can't say I'd do too well with the story either, gameplay's always been my focus.
>>27409691
I'd go and ask the experts.
