Well I hired a programmer and am getting this sucker going. I'm a fan of classic survival horror and haven't really enjoyed whats happened to the genre after 2004. Too much emphasis on action, less on atmosphere and the one thing thats driven me up the wall is how the stories for the Resident Evil franchise has managed to actively get worse and bland as time goes on.
So I'm putting my money where my mouth is and am making my own survival horror game for Newgrounds. Takes place in 1925, is a Lovecraftian tale, and the protagonist awakens in an underground prison in a gothic estate. I'm doing all the graphics myself, as well as the story and general game design. AliceMako is providing some music and the game is being programmed in Gamemaker studio 2.0
The official thread for this project is here with more details and some gameplay alpha footage.

Ooo the bones are a-shiverin. It's about time someone filled this niche, and I wouldn't think any game would be better for it than this. Art style is refined, the gamplay looks good, and Lovecraftian especially is a very open-ended and effective style of horror
