Dad’s Monster House was created by Cotton Game, a studio that focuses on making distinctive puzzle video games. While the artwork model is seemingly spooky and suspenseful, its story is really sentimental with an much more heartwarming ending. We are so thrilled to share that Dad’s Monster House might be a part of this yr’s [email protected] Winter Game Demo Event! With Dad’s Monster House, we needed to present these heartbreaking recollections a probability at redemption. We needed to dedicate this recreation to scientists, to my childhood goals, to these whom I like, and to pale recollections.
When I used to be a youngster, my mom informed me a story about a man-made creature. I later realized that this story is from a novel referred to as Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley. It was a cool story, so, once I was eight years outdated, my dream was to develop into a scientist.
There’s a saying that while you’re a child, you get to have your personal dream; however while you develop up, everybody’s dream turns into precisely the identical – to be wealthy!
I by no means received to develop into a scientist. Instead, I turned a recreation developer. Deep down I nonetheless remorse not reaching my childhood goals. That’s why I needed to develop this recreation – I needed to inform a story about a scientist. The story had to be darkish, eerie, and emotional. The graphics additionally had to be darkish, distinctive and immediately memorable. And the ending had to be unhappy, and soul-stirring.
I began off with a sketch of Frankenstein, the man-made monster. This set the artwork model for the remainder of the sport’s black and white sketches. All my buddies informed me not to make a recreation that regarded like this. They stated, “Your style is all about colour, what advantage do you have in making black and white games?” They additionally stated, “Puzzle solving, black and white, and narrative? – you’ll probably make less money combining all those three categories together.” They all appeared to have a level.
I replied, “I know it sounds tough, but I want to take on this challenge – just to live up to my own dreams.” But then they stated, “Don’t be so naive. Making a game is about understanding the market and respecting it, don’t live in your own stubbornness and naivety. You seriously need to go study the market first before you set up this new project.”
I believed to myself: although all of you’re saying to not be reckless with concepts, I’m nonetheless going to make this recreation the best way I need.
The recreation was laborious sufficient to make. After 5 years of stumbling round, Dad’s Monster House is lastly going dwell. As the title suggests, there are a lot of monsters within the recreation. They aren’t demons within the conventional sense; they’re simply eerie creatures not from our world. They have minds, hearts and souls, identical to us. In a manner, they signify the scientists’ minds within the recreation. They additionally signify the real-life personalities of a few of us recreation builders…
As I used to be enjoying the sport, pacing backwards and forwards within the room with the uninteresting sound of footsteps, surrounded by thriller and darkness, I felt these little monsters sitting quietly in a nook, trying very lonely. At that very second, I additionally felt lonely.
There’s one other saying that “If you’re different, you’re bound to be lonely.” We completed the sport. And we actually loved it ourselves. And that was sufficient.
No matter what individuals say, I might inform them: “In this mediocre world, for once, I just want to live for my stubbornness and childishness.”
We hope you get pleasure from this recreation as a lot as we did, and remind you of your recollections, goals, and household.
