Almost all horror games can be created by being horrible at lighting. Turn off 90% of the lights and make the players flashlight flicker every now and then. Congrats you've made a GOTY horror game. #gamedev

There's no need for a unique art style when making your game, just crank up the post-processing. I'm talking bloom, motion blur, etc. If the player can't see, they can't complain. #gamedev #indiedev
