Finally, the last author who has inspired me a lot has been Junji Ito. This Japanese mangaka manages to stir your stomach with his drawings, and the rhythm of his stories is extremely good. #junjiIto #Halloween #horrorgame #horror #HorrorNight #HorrorCommunity #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Another author who inspired The Bugs Manor is H.P. Lovecraft. But not for the cosmic horror, but because of his concept of terror: what scares us is the unknown, if we do not understand the source of the fear, it will be much stronger. #Lovecraft #Halloween #horrorgame #horror #indiegame #gamedev

About the writers, one very important because I have been reading him since I was 6 is RL Stine, his books from Goosebumps have helped shape the setting of the game: the 90s, the Midwest of the USA, and preteen main characters. #Goosebumps #Halloween #horrorgame #horror #indiegame #gamedev

But it's not just games, I was also inspired by books, authors and movies. For example, some that were about haunted houses were The Haunting of Hill House, Ju-On or The Conjuring. #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #horrorgame #horrorgames #horror #HorrorCommunity #rpghorror #horrorrpg

From Little Nightmares I gets the idea of remove the inventory, making the way of interacting with objects and the stage more direct. Being able to pick up, drop or use an object immediately. #LittleNightmares #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #horrorgame #rpghorror #horrorgames

Another of my principal influences was the Little Nightmares saga. Its atmosphere is incredible, and the AI of the monsters and the puzzles focused on the game feel make the game very fun. #LittleNightmares #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #horrorgame #horrorgames

In addition to the tone, from the games of baroquedecay I got the mechanic of hiding under tables to escape from monsters: #YuppiePsycho #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev #horrorgames #indiegame #rpghorror #pixelart #horrorgame #ドット絵

Other games that have also influenced me a lot are the works of baroquedecay: Yuppie Psycho and The Count Lucanor. I love its mix of humor and horror, which has been the basis for creating the tone of The Bugs Manor #YuppiePsycho #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev #horrorgames #indiegame #rpghorror

One of the things that impressed me the most when I played The Witch's House, was its impressive death animations, which is why I'm trying so hard to make good animations for The Bugs Manor #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpghorror #horrorrpg #horrorgames #pixelart

In first place are the rpgmaker horror classics, such as The Witch's House, Misao, Mad Father or Yume Nikki. These games were the ones that founded the rpghorror genre, mixing elements such as puzzles, exploration, narrative and escaping from monsters without any combat system.

Also, I had the help of @psuzume.bsky.social who has made the game logo, they both have open commissions and are very talented and professionals, so don't hesitate to ask them to do cool things!
