Part 1: The Asset Pack Conundrum<\/div>\n

When I first started working on Go Home Annie, the scope of the game was much smaller. I still have a file named Grand Plan from 2019 that says, \u201cMake a weird horror camera game in six months, put it on Steam.\u201d (That didn\u2019t quite go to plan…)

Since the game\u2019s scope was limited, I decided to use asset packs for some of the rooms in the Facility chapter. Asset packs are pre-made packs of models, levels, scripts, or anything else required to make a video game.

By using them, you\u2019re running the risk of the game looking like other games that use the same pack, not having a distinct art style, and so on. As my ambition grew and the scope of the game grew with it, I decided to replace most asset-pack objects with completely custom models, but there were still some left. The moment my team got wind of us still having a few rooms based entirely on asset packs, they jumped at the chance to completely rework them.

This project became something really special to everyone involved. After all, it would have been a shame not to have created everything by hand, with love, exclusively for Go Home Annie.

We have a distinct visual style for the Facility, part steampunk (pipes, cogs), part 70s technology (tape recorders, CRT TVs). You won\u2019t find that particular mix in an asset pack.

<\/div>\n
New vending machine, now 80% more steampunk. Some of the drinks in it might even be references to SCPs…<\/em><\/div>\n

For some rooms, the rework gave us the chance to introduce more worldbuilding and lore teases. Like the Archives, which just had a bunch of boxes in it before.

Part 2: A Talking Bathtub<\/em><\/div>\n

As soon as I read about SCP-1974<\/span><\/a>, I knew I had to put my take on it in Go Home Annie. A bathtub with two personalities! It seemed crazy. Crazy good! We just had to put it in the game.

You\u2019ll spend some time talking to SCP-R-1974. The voice actors make the bathtub dialogue feel like you\u2019re in a stage play. It\u2019s awesome. But we needed interesting visuals to accompany them. We realized that looking at a static bathtub for a few minutes at a time could get kind of boring. So, inspired by the\u00a0Pixar Lamp<\/span><\/a>, we decided to breathe life into the Bathtub.

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a sneak preview of the way SCP-R-1974 shows its emotions.<\/em><\/div>\n

That\u2019s it for this devlog. I\u2019ll see you in the next one. Until then, take care!<\/p>\n
