The Gorehound!

I really wish I could show you a video encounter of this thing, but I already spoil so damn much and I want you to be genuinely terrified by this creature!

These images are from a “Boss” encounter where you’re stalked by something known as a “Gorehound” and after two weeks of tweaking the visuals, ambience, sound effects (that was super important) and game mechanics, I think I finally nailed it and it all turned out to be really freaky!

I wanted to go into more detail about this entire map, such as my thought process behind the visuals of the monster(s), the contrast in environments, the logic of the setup and eventual payoff of the horror elements, etc. but there’s just too much to talk about.

I’ve decided to hold off on that and save it for the Dev Journal later on, so you’ll just have to suck it up and take this image dump instead! 😉
