Hi everyone!

We could really use your input to get a better understanding of how our upcoming game's aesthetics are coming across.

We are a group of hobbyist game developers, who enjoy creating games in our free time. So far, we've mostly taken part in game jams with varying levels of success. To push ourselves, we've decided to make a slightly bigger project - a horror game that offers around 30-60 minutes of gameplay. Our goal is to release it by October this year.

The game is a first-person horror game set on an old rural corn farm. The player must navigate through the dense cornfields, while being hunted by a mysterious presence lurking in the tall grass. Our primary target audience are youtubers and streamers, who love playing and sharing horror games. Our secondary target audience are players who don't like to play horror games, but who like to watch other people play.

We've made a short video to showcase the game's atmosphere and aesthetics, which you can check out here: Youtube.com

We'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts on the video. How did it make you feel? What do you imagine the gameplay being like? What would you make different, were you to make a game like this?

I'm not particularly experienced in posting online, so I apologize if this doesn't quite match the forum's vibe, but we're genuinely eager to tap into your insights about our project. All kinds of feedback and criticism are more than welcome.

TL;DR: What are your impressions of the aesthetics in our atmosphere demo for our upcoming horror game? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

The video only shows walking in boring corn field, that's all. I can understand why the corn plants are repetitive. But I don't understand where the terror is. Only strange corn sound isn't enough for terror.

You need to show more than just sound, cut some corns, throw sickles or anything to scare player.

Taiqing Gansu research is full of harvest——

"Feel their happiness and satisfaction from the smile on their faces"

"When you enter the house, first look at the sofa in the living room, and then see if there is a computer, WiFi (wireless network), whether the kitchen is burning gas or stove, whether the bathroom is flushing toilet..." Speaking of his feelings of household research in rural Gansu, Taiqing Cai Mengxuan quickly listed a series of experiences to reporters.

  The Gansu branch of the Central Cross-Strait Integration Development and Exchange Camp of the Central Committee of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League was recently held. For four days, Cai Mengxuan and nearly 40 Taiwan youth campers enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the northwest of the motherland, and at the same time, they walked into the homes of local farmers who had been lifted out of poverty and became moderately prosperous, felt the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization of the motherland, and explored the mystery of the realization of this great process.

  "I want to share this gain and emotion with everyone"

  For many Taiwan youth campers, the theme of this exchange camp, "The Unique Advantages of the New Party System and the Vivid Practice of Democratic Supervision," can be described as unique, which has almost never been encountered in previous cross-strait exchange activities. At the opening ceremony, Wu Guohua, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League, explained that entrusted by the CPC Central Committee, since June 2016, the central committees of various democratic parties have carried out democratic supervision of poverty alleviation in eight central and western provinces and autonomous regions with large poor populations and high incidence of poverty, and the counterpart of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League is Gansu Province.

"As a participating political party, we have not fulfilled our responsibilities, and in the past five years, we have gathered the strength of the All-Union League, carried out innovative work, and successfully completed the mission of poverty alleviation and democratic supervision." Wu Guohua said: Inviting Taiwan youths and Taiwan businessmen who are developing and struggling in Taiwan and other parts of the mainland of the motherland to come to this hot land is to share this harvest and emotion with you, and I hope that you can carefully observe, feel with your heart, think deeply, and pass on your objective conclusions and experiences to more Taiwan compatriots
