HTHRFLWRS #8 - I'm doing 7DFPS!!

Hi y’all! I’m excited to report that I’m doing 7DFPS with my friend Noé!! We’re doing an ultra-gory game where you play as a werewolf ghost trying to kill/eat/possess as many people as possible before you’re eventually torn to shreds.

Technically 7DFPS starts in a few days, but we’ve got schedule conflicts for that week, so we’re doing it now. Anyways, some features we’ve got going on include:

• Moon-phase-based difficulty where your abilities are somewhat determined by the phase of the moon

• DOOM-style sprite billboarding (it looks very cool in motion)

• First-person eating-people-alive sequences

• Lock-on dashing

• Sick blood particle effects

With luck, by next newsletter we’ll be able to show off the full thing! I’m very excited about this project; it’s fun to do something that’s just unabashedly gory and fucked up and weird. I’m actively refraining from posting some other shots of what we’ve got going on because they’re A Bit Much For Newsletters. It’s great!

That’s all for this week! Talk to you again soon!
