I've been working for some time on a Silent Hill fan game. The original concept was a 2D Silent Hill 1 remake, because I'm a nerd with a soft spot for 8/16bit graphics. However, I believe I have conceived a new concept, taking place during Silent Hill 1 (the return of Alessa's other half, Cheryl, seven years after the great fire), but mostly independent of Harry and Cybil's adventures.
Allow me to correspond with a few of my associates before construct a storyline worth posting about.
I wish to stay true to the SH1 nature and atmostphere, leaving scare tactics mostly up to anticipation, rather than surprise/shock like most survival horror games. I have mentioned once before that I would really like to build this game in a 2D enviornment, giving it a unique look and feel from other SH games, but I want to still create a scary world for the player. This is going to prove to be a challenge, but as SH has proven for us all, it doesn't take dozens of monsters and loud surprises to make a game scary, but the fear of what exactly might be waiting for you.
I also hope to remain flush with the story/timeline of SH1, without accidentally creating plot holes, or worse, making up my own version of this extremely complex serious of events.
I'll be posting back soon about this.
Suggestions/comments/concerns about what I need to remember, please, please, feel free.
