Why didn’t I look harder? I’ve been wanting to try the game and only have my tablet. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I’m going to see if I’m able to utilize it in my situation
I know nothing about game development, so feel free to reference back to that. If the player is controlling an actual toddler in this game, rather than a 2ft tall Ethan Winters, have you considered trying to alter the camera and movement controls so they are more wobbly/unsteady? The most jarring observation I had from the trailer was "No toddler on the planet moves that purposefully.
Otherwise I think you have a fantastic spooky atmosphere and I think the idea of playing a helpless child really lends itself to the horror genre in a powerful way.
Do you think you could expand on what the gameplay is actually like?
Typically you don’t want to move the camera around too much without the player’s input because it can easily induce motion sickness or simulator sickness. If you ever played the 1.0 release of Layers of Fear then you might understand, the main character’s drunken hobble moved the camera very significantly which I believe was later patched to be less or tunable in the options menu. But doing this to player movement should be fine.
Big movie industry seems to be one of the most rigid forms of media. Every time I notice the same cinematic/presentational tricks used again and again to invoke the same feelings/emotions in viewer. This is visible in movies themselves but in teasers/trailers it’s done in some kind of heavyweight refined form. Minecraft deserves better than those overused formulas.
That’s because these people learn the same cookie-cutter techniques at film school and start writing scripts in large groups right after getting their arts degree. Identity has been beaten out of them.
