Good point; if the player knows their bosses don’t care they (the player) doesn’t have anywhere to place hope outside of themselves, while if their boss does care they place hope in the corporation that ultimately can do nothing for them. The destruction of hope is much more effective than starting with none.

This reminds me of an educational game I played in my childhood in the early 2000s that is probably completely unknown outside of Germany because it was only available in german. It was called "Löwenzahn" (german for "dandelion") and was based on a very popular educational TV show in Germany of the same name. These were mostly simple educational 2d point and click games, but in the fourth game of the series there was a 3d space game were you would fly through the solar system and take photos of the different planets. You could either navigate on a top-down map or in 3d view. Seeing the planets of our solar system quietly get closer and closer to you in the darkness of space had a very similar feeling to your game. Obviously the Löwenzahn space game had no horror elements as it was meant for kids, but it still captured that exciting feeling of exploring space. Nice to see this childhood nostalgia recreated in your game.

I think it's absolute remarkable that you're able to put your ideas in small but still engaging and atmospheric games which are so much more feasible to develop and release as a solo developer. I'm still struggling with FPS or TPS game ideas that always fall out of proportion because I lack certain skills (mostly artistic, especially character art) and therefore never even reach an alpha state. Very inspiring, thanks a lot! :)

@alexnoman1498 2 ай бұрын

I remember playing a kid-friendly version of this game back in 2002. From Löwenzahn, I believe. Sometimes on the way to the next planet to photograph, space garbage patches would appear and you had dodge remnants of sattelites. Very fun.

Just recently, I watched the movie Salyut-7 and started thinking: what if Voices of the Void took place in space ? Being a single astronaut on a small space station positioned on the dark side of the Moon, maintaining it and controlling the work of a lunar observatory on the surface. And of course, creepy things happening, like manual docking and fixing your power and life support systems wasn't enough.

As someone who absolutely LOVED Endoparasitic, I'm still positive this will be my favorite game of yours. It's insane to me how much this feels like every element of this game is geared to my interests, like I don't think I, myself, could've come up with a concept for a horror game that I would like more than this, this game looks AWESOME. My only hope is that it's pretty replayable because I feel like this concept has so much potential for a game you can play over and over again trying to do better. Regardless of if it's replayable or if it's more of a one-off short experience like iron lung, I'm confident it'll be one of the coolest games I've ever played. Super excited!

i have no idea about developing games but, you could try adding an anomalous entity from the get go, and make it a red dot as you navigate your way through the map, it's extremely territorial but moves from time to time, makes the game much more intense and photographing the planets much more thrilling, and as for the photographs of the planets, you can sometimes make them animated, as if an entity passes through, it could cause static on the camera, doesn't have to be distinguishable, just enough for the player to feel unease and eerie. For the chef's touch, add tapping or knocking sounds once in a while, as there's no sounds in space, that's the only viable way to scare the player sound-wise.

I think it's cool that you came up with the concept of the game and THEN realised it was similar to Iron Lung. As opposed to thinking "I wanna make a game like Iron Lung cuz it was popular." Having an original idea coincidentally similar to a pre-existing one is so much better than an original idea based on a pre-existing one.

Looks really cool, since its going for immersion over the realism. Mby it would be cool if room where you are in is bigger? Would be cool if you could walk, not too big of a room. But maybe a window, some cabinets etc to make it more fun and as a story progresses ( I assume there will be one) creppy things start happening and you have to solve a mystery? Idk if its correct choice, but pc feels good and rest a bit empty. Just a window looking at space and maybe you occasionally see weird stuff through it would go a long way. Excited to see how this one develops further tho!

I can't help but feel there was more potential to the idea of actually controlling the probe remotely. The idea that you SHOULD be safe because the probe is billions of miles away, yet somehow the cosmic horror it encounters encroaches on your little local office space. Perhaps needing to move around and check things out in the office, FNAF style, while needing to urgently get back to your desk every time the probe needs your attention.
