horror games with scratch

I found that with a more powerful language I could make a realy horrifying 3D game, here is the link- http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/30101

I was wandering, since scratch can't make 3D games, I am absolutely stumped on how to make a scary 2D game.

Could someone please give me advice?

Re: horror games with scratch

Make a scary monster pop out of no where and just scream at the user. Things like that freak me out every time.

Re: horror games with scratch

lol, well, frights and stuff are obvious in stuff like DOOM 3. Can scratch somehow do stuff like echoes? I have a whole bunch of horror sounds just jumping to be used!

Re: horror games with scratch

Know your horror, know your audience and know your stories. There are many types of horrors, all you have to do is set the atmosphere and let the players' minds do the rest.

I don't know about echoes, though. I think they're quite tricky or impossible.

Play Half-Life 2. It scared the crud out of me when I was 9 and 10. Lol. It literaly made me pee my pants the first time i played it. It is scary and graphic though.... like really graphic. Especially the level called "We don't go to Ravenholdm Anymore".

Re: horror games with scratch

I am making a pretty succesful well polished game at the moment. It won't be that scary i dont think, but the graphics are good and a good storyline with lots of intellegegnt zombies! I think I should release the first three levels as a demo first, then make the actual game.
