Party's OVER is now RELEASED! It was a fairly rocky development in terms of balancing the enemies, but I think we got there in the end...

Try it out here! olliehall.itch.io/partys-over

#ScreamJam Day 6

It's getting tense... not long now and still a lot to do! We're rushing in the level and placing the enemies and starting to get the ending in.

It's going to be really close, and I don't think it will turn out as good as we hoped, but it should be fun!

#ScreamJam Day 4

An update to the cocktail stick / eyelid mechanic! Now your eyes don't slowly close all at once... either eye shuts depending on which loses the cocktail stick!

This impairs the player's vision, making it harder to see enemies 😬

Will it be too unforgiving? Time will tell...

It appears someone has still spilled black eldritch goo all over the table...

#ScreamJam Day 3!

Some gameplay is beginning to show itself... Here's what happens if you run out of cocktail sticks to keep your eyes open 👁️

Next up, time to make the full level and get some animated monster models in! That will probably take the next 2-3 days.

#ScreamJam Day 2 😱

It's all placeholder textures, but we have the ballroom in-game and I've set up the cocktail stick mechanic! (you need them to wedge your eyes open, and they break after a while)

Next up, blinking and enemy AI and design!

We've started developing the level! Here's an early look at the ballroom, thanks to 3D artist Sami!

This is the "heart" of the game so we're making sure it's right before we move onto other rooms and corridors. There are three floors planned, including a basement 👀

Here's a first draft of some level design for Party's OVER, the Scream Jam game I'm working on!

Set in a Manor with a lavish ballroom, the monsters move very slowly, until you look away...

With this in mind, I took a specific approach to designing the level "cyclically"

Scream Jam 2025 has begun! I'm taking a break from usual development to attempt a wacky, tense horror game set in a lavish masquerade ball turned to hell...

And you have to use cocktail sticks to prop your eyes open 👁️

I'll post some progress as I go, should be fun!

Lots of screens, buttons and dials. Will probably get covered in blood before the end of the week...

Writing the dialogue like a screenplay is more fun than I expected 👀

A fully modelled 19th century haunted house I made in Unreal a few years back, it was super creepy!

Screenshots from the demo of "Project: Ceiling Fan", a first-person investigative thriller laced with horror elements 🔎

The project is currently on hold, but I hope it sees release one day...

"Fog’s back. So are the sedans. We stopped asking questions."

Throwback to when Bunker 73 intersected with the foggy car dimension ✨

Yep, a little! I also used Notepad / Google Keep, but as the game was finishing up it helped to have the notes in front of me in-game 😁 I think it worked well! Here's another example:

A screenshot from early development of BLOOD MALL 🩸

The entire mall was a bunch of white cubes and the dinosaur needed retexturing, but it was coming together!

This hunting method was particularly effective with packs, as the Hastovenator could impale and pin many targets, leaving them immobile as it chases the remaining survivors.

Happy Saturday!

The Hastovenator then contracts its muscles rapidly, creating internal air pressure to fire the quill - this allowed it to hunt smaller prey from a distance. 🎯

Some BTS of the Hastovenator creating a spear! It makes these quills from keratin, similarly to how hair, nails/claws and even horns grow ✨
