The Map<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I mapped out and modeled my high school campus into a fully Three-Dimensional horror map, equipped with dark hallways, ominous staircases, and tight classrooms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Game<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Mark J. Hadley’s Slender: The Eight Pages<\/em>, I created a system that places golden spheres in random locations across the campus. The more spheres the player gathers, the more monsters spawn from the shadows. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Meaning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In order to create Fear Crossroads<\/em>, I had to learn a brand new program, language, and system of development. I attempted to work in short “sprints” followed by a process log. By the end of development, I had become familiar with Unreal Engine<\/em>, and much of what it has to offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
