Night Terrors Concept Video

AppChogie

This is a concept video for Night Terrors an iPhone game where you have to stop the waves of monsters from scaring the boy into waking up. Each level has more and more monsters. You have three lives in which the boy will fall asleep again.

Cool concept. I think it will do quite well. Style is done very well too.

Good job.

Looks good, some suggestions:
- Speed it up a bit
- Give some indicator on how close the boy is to waking up, maybe make him start sweating as the monster get closer, there really wasn't an easy way to tell how much time you had before he woke up.
- animations - make the clowns wheels turn, make the moners walk, make the ghost wave.make the boys sheets rise and fall as he breaths, every little bit you can do will help with the atmposphere

Hi Mulcahy thanks for the suggestions all of the above are on my original check list this video was just a visual concept to get a feel of art etc.. But a big thank you and the next video you will see will have all the above.

Cheers mate

Jesus Appchogie! I had pretty much the same idea a few months ago when I was going through a period of having night terrors!

Mine was called 'Insomniac' and looked very, very different.

I kinda abandoned it but might go back to it.

Amazing how ideas are so alike with no contact!

Good luck with it!

@QSheep I hope that you are sleeping better now Krakan is out mate!

I have had the idea for a while but didn't know the right approach thats why I have started putting graphical concepts together.

You should see my other version way too dark!! gave me the creeps working on it at night and the wife said that I should leave that version alone. :-)

btw I have Krakan and love it!

That's great, fella - I think Kraken's a very marmite kinda game - very glad you like it!

I have to admit, my 'version' of night terrors was a lot, lot darker. I found it really disturbing - instead of making them go away, it only got worse

Night terrors are absolutely terrifying to experience. And when you have them every night for a week, you really don't want to go to sleep. And then lack of sleep brings them on when you do finally collapse from being so knackered!

I'll see if I can find a video somewhere of Insomniac and show you sometime mate
