We have 3 reanimated monsters in the jam version: Weirdo, Bumper Freak and Rake Monster:
But now is time for some community brainstorming!
Picture a zombie apocalypse and stuff lying there in the open. What kind of monster would you like to build? If we like it, we'll make some sketches, share them with you and who knows. Perhaps we could include your monster in the final version of the game and add your name in the credits!
We made some sketches to warm up!
And now It's time for your weirdest ideas!
This one is from Chavo. It depicts a monster with no arms but branches on fire after some crazy storm in the woods!
This was suggested by Agustín Cordes, creator of awesome games such as Scratches and Asylum (Agustín had thought about something gorier... a cheerleader jumping its own entrails! But our main character like sewing corpses Dr. Frankenstein style, he is some sort of reanimator, so we make it somewhat cleaner). Thanks Agustín for your support!
This freak was suggested by Steam User @Slakajuster in the comments below. He describes it as it follows: "A man/woman with a computer monitor sunk into/around their head, facing them. This creature is blind or encumbered in some way. it has very long fingers and a bone is protruding from its wrist." Well, we love the idea of the sunk monitor, add some creepy light from below and a spiral on the screen and voilà!
Next one was also suggested by @Slakajuster. He says: “A male who was reanimated with living fungus and mushrooms (...) He laughs/coughs sometimes, and has spores floating around his head/body. One foot is constantly dragging around a flowerpot which it is inserted in. You could have him covered in mushrooms, or be subtle with them, either way.” Although we loved the description, we took a darker turn by taking out the smiling and adding some Swamp Thing flavour to the mix (yes, we are fans of Moore/Bissette!) So well, here it is!
Very cool and simple concepts, need all :P
Thanks! We are really happy with some of the ideas sent to us. We are going to add lots of content to the final release of the game (along a complex and twisted story, main and side quests and some surprises!). So yeah, expect some of them in the fleshed-out version of The Narrow Path!
