>>740009138I really wouldn't, since the concept really only works as like, one of those artsy Gmod 'experience' levels that make use of the sound design and odd physics to create something esoteric and interesting. To gamify the concept beyond the 4chan post would mean creating something here most people wouldn't like, as it would be a randomly generated friendslop roguelite wherein you and four others need to make your way from a 'level entrance' to the end, wherein you'd make it to a safe level where you can buy new items (or people can join/leave).
>>740009259>single player>can fuck the monsters>make a base>end is burning everything down as you go insaneIt doesn't need to be made into friendslop.
>>740009138it leads to the clip of jeff goldblum telling people to go outside
>>740009138Like dungeon keeper game, you are the backrooms, you construct and evolve the backrooms to fuck up any scientists that come to investigate.
Add rust style pvp to the game.
>>740009138Procedurally generated map that increases threat level the deeper you go into the labyrinth. Winning condition will be gathering a set of items that are randomly spawned. It may take you less than hour to gather them if you are lucky or take you dozens of hours.
>>740010016>Winning condition will be gathering a set of items that are randomly spawnedRNG needs to die
>>740009259I agree with this
>>740009138>one big procedurally generated level>one way teleports that reset the map>lurking monster you never see clearly, always behind corner, can only hear it closing in, vanishes if you turn to look>plant like monster that just spreads, may catch you for game over>hasmat suit guys who try to catch you and do experiments, you can try to escape or get game over>some other monsters..>no guns or just single use weapons>melee weapons to bonk monsters>survival, scarse items or sometimes so many you can't carry any more, sleep in random places>limited inventory>random exits, or is it really an exit? timed so you won't find it in like first 5 minutesI think it would be better than anything I've seen so far.
>>740010615It could be 5 random episodes each level is an episode of random occurrences I think that would it would be linear but it would stop it from becoming coop friendslop
>>740010148>look at literally RNG: The Concept>get mad there's RNG
>>740010691>Oh wow i'm really glad i'm close to the end of this game!>wait a minute...>i need an item? ok i'll just find it real quick!>3 hours later>fuck this game!!!!RNG is shit

The Reddit Rooms?
>>740011010You are retarded if you don't see how farming for an mandatory item for winning is a bad idea.
i feel like it works best as a multiplayer map but not necessarily the center or the main piece of a gamemany FPS players would love a backrooms map
>>740011150Never even said I liked it, just that The Backrooms are literally entirely, 100% RNG.
>>740009138I would make a colony sim with invasions and survival mechanicsHalf don't starve and half virtual villagers
>>740009138Make it 4 players vs monster with a procedurally genersted maze. Like left 4 dead (but more stealth/navigation based and without the hordes of weak NPC monsters). And then just fill it with surreal environments.
Trepang2 has a level where you get dumped in the backrooms a couple times. Mostly you wander around a bit, massacre some panicking Horizon soldiers.
Was kind of thinking about this since I was messing around making some Backrooms levels in Goldsrc for funWould basically be a similar concept as HL1's campaign in that you're a scientist caught in a huge fuckup and have to surviveMild survival horror/imsim elementsI have ideas but there's not enough time in a day to actually work on it
I've got this recurring nightmare I've been meaning to try to make into a game that would probably hit big with this crowd if I did a decent enough job. Basically I'm out too late with my high school friends, decide to skateboard home at 1am, theres no lights on anywhere but its a bright full moon. I grew up in one of those new towns with the tightly packed cookie cutter houses and arbitrarily curvy streets, so everything blends together, and I suddenly realize I've taken a wrong turn somewhere. No big deal, you're never far from a main artery, but it just keeps going and going, and then I start getting the feeling something's following me. Sometimes it would tempt me by throwing in a familiar place like the mall or the school but they'd still be surrounded by the infinite townhouse hell. I think I could definitely make a decent enough retro first person Tony Hawk's American Nightmare, this is pretty textbook procedural generation, but I dont think I could make it actually scary.
>>740011320So is real life.
>>740011768Reddit fucking loathes suburbs almost as much as it likes malls, so you might be on to something
Backrooms loses its allure the moment some kind of creature shows up.
>>740010965>The Blackedtroons
>>740011768Why is it that when you turn around from a dead end everything turns into nightmare mode even if the dream started really good? Seems like a common theme for everyone.
>>740012118>noclip into backrooms>turned into a tranny>hunted relentlessly by black cock>your character runs towards the dick. >dies>do it again
>>740012025I've heard this a thousand times and could not agree lessAs long as the monster fits into it's environment it's an objective improvement over "what if I was in a scary empty room lel"Your conception of the backrooms is completely pointless and wasn't even the originalDying of dehydration in a weird yellow maze is good enough for a single paragraph of discussion but it's not in the slightest interesting past that
>>740012306This anon speaks the truth.
>>740009138Antechamber except it looks like that, and add a few layers of fake logouts so it feels like you're really trapped if you try to quit the game
we already have the ideal backrooms experience, its myhouse.wad. Any other game trying to do that should base it off the formula:>establish a comfortable base world layer to return to, grounding the player in something real>enable movement between different layers of reality based on esoteric actions that produce changes according to a dream logic>different paths are available based on what actions the character does>there should be some opportunity even if hidden to learn some clues about what to do>the game should play out like an adventure game with survival horror elements
>>740009138>How would you make it into a game?Are you implying there aren't over 9000 shitty indie backroom themed games on Steam right now?
>>740012306the best part of the entire movie was the sequence showing the chick's childhood home in various levels of the telephone game. that is the backrooms shit i want.
>>740009138Years ago there was a video that was made with the GTA5 engine. It was scripted and cool as shit to look at but the "gameplay" was basically walking simulator.
>>740013150but that sequence occurred after knowing there are monsters and yet you kept your allure?almost like the monsters existing does not detract from the overall setting
The SCP Ikea is a cooler idea tbqhfam
>>740012189I think its because your brain is just making shit up on the fly in most dreams, so when you turn around and whats there doesnt agree with your short term memory it sets off that "O shit Im lost" reflex, and now you have panic chemicals floating around in your brain.
>>740009138Did we ever figure out where the original pic is from?
>>740009138You walk around scavenging other shit that clipped in to build a cozy base for yourself. Furniture, lights, carpets, etc.

>>740013967Sounds comfy, anon.
The complex expedition so far has been the best backrooms game I have played out of all of them.
>>740009138here's your videogame the shotgun doesn't do shit

There is a hidden backrooms games sale on steam if you stumble into it. No i will not spoonfeed you more than this.
>>740009138SAMEFUCKING THREAD.
>>740013520But can you stand to eat nothing but ikea meatballs for your life?
>>740009138I wouldn't, since it's someone else's idea.I really feel taking "popular idea someone else made up" and trying to make it your game, is really fucking shit design philosophy. People should make games based on cool concepts for mechanics they've thought of, or cool stories they wanna tell, or cool scenarios they want to experience. Not fucking "Well this thing is really popular, let's steal that idea and recreate their idea as closely as possible with premade assets". This is why steam has so much fucking slop among its indie games. Come up with your own fucking ideas you fags
>>740009138Retard
>>740012306based and true, backrooms without any creatures in it is just an infinite walking simulator which is only spooky if you imagine paying any money to play it
>>740013812a furniture store in Wisconsin
>>740015152>come into a thread about sharing fun ideas>LOOK GUYS!! 600 gAmES ABOUT the BACKROOMS>call others retardedThe irony.
>>740009138I thought the entire point was that there was fucking nothing. Just make a single room and loop that shit forever and let idiots pay for it
>>740009138>WFC unity store asset to make proceduralslop levels>unity store monster with a walk and chase state>unity starter assets fps controller and input handlerThere, your le epic backrooms game is ready for youtube.
Honestly AI generated maps, with the baseline of each level's description and the monsters etc.The point is you get lost, maybe find a way out eventually. Having everything completely unknown would add to the fear factor.

I'd just scrap it and do the IKEA one instead, pretty easy survival crafting game to figure out by comparison and streamers would carry it
>>740009138>levelsGay. Levels are fucking retarded. Imagine being some gay retard who 'grew up with' the middle child version of the Backrooms. You don't to call yourself the original. You don't get the popular version by Kane Pixels that people actually like. No, you get some gay ass version with 'levels' and collaborative lore made for youtube fodder that acts a giant mishmash of every retarded idea a 10 year old can conceive of. You are the awkward middle child. You get not the original not the popular version. Instead, they get to hate each other, while you get to sit there knowing you have zero relevance. Imagine that for a minute. No one gives a FUCK about your block. Must be devastating.
>>740014985No human has original ideas, but you think it's ok to adapt or subvert Shakespearian, Arthurian, and Fairy Tales because you've accepted them as belonging to no one due to having existed before you were born and not thinking about how a human made them and was also inspired by something in the world. There's nothing wrong with making your own iteration of an existing concept
>>740013967This. It could work as a short survival like stranded deep but in the backrooms.I'm surprised there aren't many good Minecraft modpacks about it. And no. The one with a preset map and hours of create processing to finish it doesn't count.
>>740012025I can't think of anything more reddit-brained then correcting people by overly insisting on the earliest version of the Backrooms being the best even when that deflates any possible elaboration or addition to a concept just to sound as smart and smarmy as possible only for the entire basis of your perspective to be completely fucking wrong and you didn't notice because you are to lazy to read the last sentence in a story no longer than a paragraph.
>>740014940Yes.
>>740016798There's 'Places', looked pretty good from what I saw of it
>>740014464Is it actually that good?
>>740009138Its not the kind of thing that works as a game
>>740017214Its okay, its just happens to be better than the garbage tier rest of the backrooms games I've seen. Vrchat has some okay backrooms worlds too.
Friendslop or friendkino?
>>740016715Don't be a complete fag, you know perfectly well what I mean. There's a damn big difference between taking inspiration from things, and just outright copying someone elses idea and it is THAT I am against. I am not at all against taking inspiration from things, merging concept, creating new things using building blocks you have found through life. That's not copying, that's how inventing shit works. I am against copying shit, just outright taking something someone else made and not really adding anything worthwhile to it.
>>740017358I disagree.
>>740016943You are schizophrenic and wrong
>>740012221You're the one controlling your character you retard. It's amazing how frequently these culture warriors (that are both pro blacks and trannies and anti blacks and trannies) admit to being BBC obsessed trannies. Cure your porn addiction or take it somewhere else.
Just reskin an old blobber/dungeon crawler CRPGLet you create a party of stereotypical fantasy Fighters, Thieves, Wizards and Clerics with very low-res character portaitsSet them forth on a grand adventure in the backrooms..
>>740009138You can't the backrooms is a short story with begins and ends with OPs plot, everything that comes afterwards is fans of the story daydreaming the ending, which is what any decent creepypasta does, it doesn't need another hundred chapters ending with the creature being the protagonist's gf who died of queefus 666 days ago

>>740009138Backrooms are boring. I want to see something implementing Mirror World.
>>740021401Fun read.
>>740009259Survival crafting. You kill people who wander in and use them to craft. You are the monster.
>>740021401I've been to the mirror world before, it's not very nice at all and you can't enter any buildings, details in the world seem distorted if not crudely shapen if they're not in some conjunctional relationship with with the normal world's reflection in some manner. He is absolutely correct about not looking into the eyes of your inverse reflection as well. Doing so causes an inversion of perception where you become the thing looking into your eyes rather than what is looking out of them. I cannot describe this feeling other than using vague semantics like being turned inside out. Its such a total destruction of how one navigates that I'm sure having a stroke or a seizure would be preferable.

Thought the movie was alright.Wish we had more found footage stuff but thats what the web series is for.So far I feel like the only one here who was fine with the Captin'Clark design, its goofy but also a bastardization of him as a person.
>>740009138The twist is that this is the blurb that the other user in the backrooms has read.I'm the thing in there, and I am faster, stronger and better at Tekken than he is

>>740016943>anon makes up scenario in his head to get mad at
My little brother was talking about the upcoming movie and he has no idea it all started with some dumb 4chan post. He thinks the game was where this Backrooms meme originally came from
>>740011768Sounds cool honestly. You should keep working on that. Those lame “PS2 graphics” Japanese indie horror games are all the rage these days, you could try something like that.
>>740012025then just keep adding more monsters. have the initial monster hang around for awhile and make the player think it’s the only threat. then halfway through the game all of a sudden a new monster shows up. and then another. and then your player will be left wondering how many more monsters he’ll find
>>740009138I think trying to "video game-ify" the Backrooms is exactly what ruined it as a concept and made it not scary.
>>740009138Condemned: Criminal Origins is kinda similar to the Backrooms. You go into an abandoned office building or subway station and it just keeps fucking going and going and going. The problem is the enemies in Condemned are more annoying than they are scary
