So current got a little further, current got a little bit of building system going(Don't mind the blacksmith, I forgot to resize it lmao). Having some issues with disabling the shop menu making the gameobject for some reason not wanna be placed or even move until menu is opened again...

Also working on interactions between character, currently only managed so far to make a little talk action where the character you wanna talk with stops moving whilst your character walks over to them!

Definitely gotta get better with texturing etc though, so don't mind the somewhat wacky texturing on the props etc.. ^^'

Thank you!

It isn't really much rn, but for those who know about The Guild specifically the guild 3, it's kinda of that route I'm going for. It's something I've wanted to do for quite some time, and now I do have the somewhat know how includng some knowledge and skill within Blender I plan on making it a reality, now obviously this is a big project and don't even know if it'll ever get anywhere, but here's to hoping! Here's a little preview though :p

yes ill add you, that'll make it much easier lmao

Sorry, been a little busy have a lot of projects and very little time, that's my bad. Basically it's a story based horror game, also focused on mental health, there's a lot to get into and don't wanna make the story too public, but initially there's a lot of sad scenes, horrible scenes that's gonna play out if it goes as planned that is, which requires music to have a certain style that you got.

Basically initially it's a choices impact story matter horror game.

I actually have a semi-big project I'm working on that I could need some help with on sound, seems like you've got exactly what I'm looking for.

Contact me on discord jackp_ if it still hasn't been fixed

As the game is really starting up and going, and the beta is soon out I'm still looking for social media managers/Influencers if anybody would be interested in these positions!

As a person who isnt Religious anymore, but previously Christian, and has nothing against Religion, but dont like it being pushed down on People i'd love to put my input..

Before I get far, the point of this isnt to say its a bad idea, actually I think if its though out properly it could be great, and theres certain stories I know a lot of People would actually be interested in, within Christianity.

But as others say make sure the game isnt created to try and coherse or convert People to christianity, People want to play a game and enjoy it, not be convinced that Christianity is the way of life, therefor as I can see someone had an idea of the Garden of Eden which is actually a brillant idea, but instead of not much gameplay for example epict a game of the real event from the bible, how Eva was convinced to eat an Apple, or change up on it a bit as you want, remember not everything has to be literally correct and its all about catching peoples eyes.

I know theres a lot of Christian folks out there, even gamers, but it would be good for you to catch eyes of People who isnt Christian or religious at all for that matter, and bring success that way, its all about finding the right tone, but im sure it will be tough

still looking for the roles from previous message :) we are a great team and would love to have you around! 😃

What I am still looking for so far is;

3D Artists/Designers

Animators

Promoters 

Social media managers

Beta Testers

Once again I wanna thank everyone who has paid attention, and wanted to attend the project it's overwhelming how well a team we have archieved at this point! I really think we could start making this game amazing!

Added

We have played a bit with graphics within the game, and proud to say once again we have improved the overall look and design of the game. Sadly we couldn't go along with HDRP, as certain materials did not want to agree on converting to HDRP(High Definition Rendering Pipeline) or even URP(Universal Rendering Pipeline). But we managed to change the design even without all of that! The first picture on top is how the game looked before, the middle(second) picture will be the HDRP how it would have looked with those who accepted HDRP, and you will see some pink which is missing textures. The last picture is how the game looks now!

Keep in mind, the last picture does not even hold more light than the very first, it is just designed better for the environment effect etc.

We now have started to get quite a decent sized team, with multiple music composers, voice actors, programmers and a few designers both 3D and 2D meaning there will soon be a bunch of updates ranging from Pictures, to soundtracks to a bunch of other things!

Jack P#4678

Well I could definitely use a social media manager! And put you into the mix for creative writer we can definitely talk about that if you add me over discord we'll have a talk!

I agree

I definitely wouldnt mind that! Any help I could get to spread the Word etc would be WILDLY appreciated!

I've added you, I'd definitely be interested in havinng a talk with you!

My favourite part is probably the "I'm not having fun" part when trying to quit the game.

The game looks decent, there's definitely some things that could be changed as fx the mouse Sensitivity someone like me has a small ass table, and despite having decently high mouse DPI I found it difficult to navigate around. Maybe I'm just stupid and didn't see a setting where I could change it.

Other than than, it could definitely become something over time, just keep working on it. Make something out of it.

- Modify runspeed to be slightly faster

- Modified Save system to save the latest position of the player.

- Added system to save Sound settings, so player doesn't have to set sound settings everytime they open the game.

You can watch how far I've come so far, as you can see still quite a bit to add Such as George, I also need my voice actors to record the voices for all the choices and have patched up on some animation(s) and figure out why the settings don't work as they should particularily sychronization and why Resolution and Screen Mode doesn't work in the Main Menu and Startup Sequence scene, but besides that it's pretty well and functional! Much more playable too than it used to be! But my Beta Testers will soon get that fixed version out to test out the game!

Sadly I dont anymore :( but I looove your music

Hey there! Im sorry for everyone who would love to join the project as a music Composer, sadly I already have a good amount of those as they have been a quite popular role, and although I would love to recruit 300 music Composers so we could make something epic its sadly limited how much revshare I can expect for a first time indiegame like this 😬 so im sadly not looking for those anymore..

Roles I have;

4 Voice Actors/Actresses

1 Artist

3 Music Producers/Composer

1 Sound Composer

1 Sound Engineer

2 Developers

3 Creative Writers

All in all 10-11 team members with a few of them holding a couple of roles. So what I am still looking for is

3D Artists/Designers

Animators

2D Artists

Promoters 

Social media managers

Thank so so so much for everyone who has shown interest in the project so far though!

Character designs is starting to be changed for a higher quality, there will soon be more pictures, but I'm still waiting for everything to be prepared for show for the next Beta Version.

I would love to have you on the team as a Sound Designer! We do definitely need one if you contact me on Jack P#4678 or send me your discord so I can contact you if you got it and we can talk some more about it!

Still in major need of those given roles above!

Also updated Visuals: Here

Gyazo is good too

I forgot to state, we actually have a roadmap/changelog on trello where you can follow the process better for what we don't report or immediately report elsewhere!

Graveyard: The Shift - Survival-Horror Story Rich choices

Graveyard the Shift is a game that was in the beginning started just with me, and me putting some voices into things, I didn't actually expect to really get much going out with it, and it kinda died out for a while. After quite a bit of time, I stumbled upon it, and I thought I would start making on it again and create a spark, and did it create a Spark? YEA IT DID!

The game is a Survival-Horror game that will be heavily story based, depending on your choices it can go from one direction to another direction, with different kind of endings and paths to take, there will be a lot of hidden objectives and things to go through and find and depending on what you do or find another path may be taken! Graveyard the shift has been worked on for about 3-4 months by now, and has now created a team of dedicated people, ranging from voice actors, to Artists and music composers to Creative writers for the story, we currently hold a team of 8 people in total!

Play the demo here; But keep in mind it's a very very early, rough outlined demo, there isn't any story to it when I feel ready or the game gets released there will be another demo out to show all the new stuff but there is still updates posted around, which will be posted here, on Discord and on Twitter!

Most recent view on complete Design and Texture Overhauls
Latest gameplay video(Outdated graphics/visuals since last changes though)
Voice Actor at work part 1
Voice Actor at work part 2

Amazing Features we offer;

- Objectives and tasks to get through the empty moments!
- An archievement system which will be much more archievements!
- A story rich game/environment where your choices matter!
- Currently will hold 2 languages, being English and Danish(Probably will get some more translators later off)
- Day and Night system(Although you will only experience the night part for the time being atleast!)
- A cloudy and foggy environment to create some more scary/dark ambient environment
- A way to hide from each creature, or fight them back
- A variety of different creatures that will have to be fought in different ways
- Much more to be and come!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdwFeLL4AswbZUFQuk3FcGAHi there! Graveyard the shift needs you!

I've already made a few posts here but that had either been of other projects, or other roles, now I have made a few posts about this project before too and it's still going, however I have more to show for this time. Now on to the actual post!

What is Graveyard The Shift?
Graveyard the shift is a project I've taken the liberty to work on for about 4-5 months now(That was including breaks but still a good amount of time), now I'm on a huge streak and motivation streak to get the game finished, and with that we are gonna need your help! How you ask? Well we are VERY much in need of certain roles that we have you will be willing to participate in, for a revshare so we can make this game great! There will be some photos and videos later off in this post for you guys to check it out and see if it is something you would be willing to join in on.

Graveyard Shift is a short story rich horror-survival game. You're working as a young man at a Graveyard, doing the literal graveyard shift, hence the name of the name, I know creative right haha. The game is heavily based upon the choices you chose, inspiration taken from games like Until Dawn, Telltale Games, and generally Supermassive games which they decisively made a popular thing within horror games and I personally enjoyed a lot. There's 5 days you have to work at the graveyard, and each day has it's own challenges and difficulties to finish the game, as well as the nights will be longer, starting on a 3 minute night and ending on a 10 minute night. The game has multiple objectives(More to come), that the player can if they want to, go around and get done with to use the time when nothing is happening, or search around the entire terrain and environment!

Why should you help us
Well we are a great good team of people, we love games all of us and are very dedicated and motivated to what we are doing. We also offer Rev-share for when the game ultimately gets released for people to see and enjoy! we believe the game could become something beautiful if just we all do our part of the work. You will also get a free copy of the game when it gets released of course! And possibly some will get a few extra copies for a friend or 2!

So what do we actually need?

- 1-2 Social Media Managers: Assist us in keeping our social media presence active, and helping to spread the word and update people on our twitter page and any other social media outlet/service we might ought for.

- Promoter/Advertiser/Marketing Manager - This is an incredibly important role that I would love to get help spreading the word out about the game so we all can get over things here!

- 1-2 2D Artists: We need some new design of UI, Huds, Item Slots, Logo, Banner(s) and possibly a few other things to get the things going, possibly even some concept art!

- 1-2 Sound Composers: There are a bunch of places out there to get sounds as well, but there's nothing better than having your own custom sounds implemented within your game!(Not too important of a role though)

- A 3D Artist/Modeller: We would eventually love to get our own custom playermodels, which is only 3 main characters and a few creatures, the main characters being the important parts, and custom Items as well, such as a flashlight, the bible, a wrench, a shovel and a screwdriver.

- An Animator/Rigger: I am not incredible at Animations and rigging, currently I am learning to rig within Blender, but Animations I haven't really gotten that far yet, except of a bit of amateur animations with rigged characters in Unity's Animation Timeline!

- Beta Testers: Now Beta testers is something we can all need and get into! The only thing we would love to see from Beta Testers is basically just have some creative ideas, suggestions so we can have a lot of things for when the game releases! And of course the obvious, be good/decent or atleast able to find bugs and exploitations within the game!

With that being said! If anybody is interested let me know here in this post or on Discord Jack P#4678 I hope to hear from you!
