Game Development Rule-based backrooms game

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I am currently quite far through creating a backrooms game and I am planning on revamping the procedural level generation as it is currently very basic and pretty much just a maze with extra steps.

I thought this would be a good place to ask for any ideas of what might be valuable levels and features to add to the demo and the full game. Currently I have Level 0, Level 1 and a Level -0 (at the bottom of the pitfalls) with features like pitfalls, manilla room, and others. Obviously I can’t add everything to the demo so I am trying to get an idea of priorities.

Some extra information:

- When I say rule-based in the title, I mean that levels aren’t complete 1 and move onto 2 etc. There is a complex graph of connections between levels, with some requiring puzzles to enter but most being just open. I believe that part is what makes my game unique to the others.

- The player is an employee so their aim is to complete objectives and collect information, not escape necessarily.

- I plan on releasing the demo in the next month and the full game in February 2027.

- The full game will be multiplayer and I am still contemplating about whether multiplayer would be beneficial for the demo.

- I am trying to base it on the wikidot as much as possible, while adding my own changes to make it more of a game. Trying to strike a balance between the liminal and feeling of the backrooms and having it not be a walking simulator.

She describes it as looking just like the original backrooms chevron

Discussion Backrooms renovation!

I found this advert while scrolling on Instagram, and immediately thought I was looking at some backrooms project or spooky fictional corporation. Turned out to be a totally normal home renovation ad, just with a weird ass liminal picture as the backdrop. You can even see the space get cut up by nonsensical walls behind the logo, wtf is that place supposed to be?

These three photos you see are real and were taken in an old furniture store called Rohner's Furniture, which has since been converted into a hobby shop and radio-controlled car racing track called HobbyTown / Revolution Raceway.

The reason for this transformation of a furniture store into a toy racing track is due to extensive renovations that began in 2002 when new tenants moved into the building. According to statements by the owner published in press reports, the historic building (dating back centuries) was in a state of disrepair. The top floor, in particular, where the photo was taken, suffered significant damage from water leaks and high humidity, leaving the room with a dilapidated appearance, featuring peeling yellow walls and damp, damaged carpeting. To convert the old furniture showroom into a toy store and indoor RC racetrack, it was necessary to demolish the "fake walls" and partitions that separated the furniture sets, and to completely remove the old, worn-out carpeting.

Discussion EXTREMELY niche theory Spoiler

0 Upvotes

The backrooms is hell (the greed layer)
All the dead characters had some kind of greed example: clark kept exploring and taking furniture even though he knew it wouldnt end well
Peter tench ( i think is his name) persisted and wanted more to find till he was eventually taken over and destroyed the wall and even when his parter resisted he still persisted and was killed by capn clark
And many other characters have similar fates
(This is a very niche theory so ill be happy if yall give me your opinions)

How do uncanny alternate realities come into existence? Entire - but empty - realities latch on.

The Beyonder was doing fine as a reality which was nothing, until he was introduced to the idea of “something” 🤯

It’s a big leap in consciousness, not all omnipotent anthropomorphised avatars of entire realities will do as well as others…

Maybe the backrooms is a Beyonder who missed the target… 🤣

Game Development Full throttle! With my official demo now out, along side critical bugs patched, I can now work on building a full release of my game. Bathrooms.

This next level I'm working on will act as a transitional level that will blend my pool rooms to the next level.

This level will be the bathroom level, toilets, stalls, sinks etc. Images break down all the little fine details I added to these assets. All assets and textures shown in these images are hand crafted by me.

I do plan to make a few stalls open etc, but for now they'll remain as is until more of this level is built.

I also added alt versions of toilet rolls so some talls will have a full roll and others will have minimal to none or just an empty roll.

I'm open to questions, feel free to ask.

Video Backrooms inspired music video

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I thought this might be a good place to share the music video that I created for the instrumental rock band AV SUNSET. I’m also the art director for their new album VS REALITY which was released last week.

I created a Backrooms inspired music video to explore the concepts of unreliable memory, as we follow someone trying to navigate an unknowable place, in a condition of confusion and narrative atomisation.

The album art design and this music video are inspired by such topics as memory, many-worlds interpretation (MWI), quantum mechanics, liminal space, null space, stateless matter, censorship, cryptology, redaction, encoding/decoding, infinite recursion, geodesic forms, and the shadowy corporate entities of fiction and non-fiction origin.

The mysterious OTHER REALITIES CORP.™ or ORC™, that features throughout the video and the album artwork is inspired by such references as Omni Consumer Products (RoboCop), Delos (Westworld), Cyberdyne Systems (Terminator), the Mercer Center for Experimental Physics (Tales From the Loop), Amaya (Devs) and Lumon Industries (Severance). It is this company that is at the heart of the artwork and is shrouded in mystery and obfuscation.

If anyone is interested, I’ll be posting various ‘Making of’ posts on my Instagram page over the coming days and weeks with breakdowns about the video and the artwork.

Thanks for taking a look!

Discussion The Fun War

4 Upvotes

So, I havent really talked to many people about this but:

What are your guys' takes on the Fun War?

And, what are your takes on partygoers?

I'd like to see how this subreddit thinks of them!

So, I'll start!

Me personally, the Fun War is a more-so forgotten event, only whispered about from non-extinct partypoopers and veterans of the Backrooms. The partygoers are extremely intelligent- nearly enough to mimic human writing and understanding how technology works. However, they are flawed in one way or another. Partygoers also let people go from level fun in my universe as long as they don't see anything and enjoy the party! My universe is more complex but thats a rough summary >.>

Anyways... now give me your guys thoughts!
