A Survival Horror Game RIDE OUT

Abstract

Abstract: In the Field of Software Engineering, Gaming is the fastest growing field and even more rapidly growing sector of game development the coming years are difficult to predict. Survival horror video games (SHVGs) are among the fastest-growing genres for independent video game developers. With horrific cinematic elements and fear-inducing characteristics, survival horror video games create a terrifying experience for users within a virtual environment. There are various game engines where we are able to create such amazing games such as in Unity3d, Unreal Engine, Game Maker, Godot, and more provide access to the identical technologies and tools available to large game developers. Unity3D Game Engine is an integrated development tool which is used to create interactive contents like video games, architectural visualization and real-time 3D animations. This paper studies about the Horror Survival game ‘RIDE OUT’ which we attempt to build for people to experience the horror and thrill within the virtual environment and hence the way it’s designed with horrific cinematic elements and fear-inducing characteristics. For the survival horror game, the plan goes: everything from building a scene and lighting, ending with battle mechanics and the design of game menus, create graphical effects, control the physical behavior of objects or even implement a custom AI system for characters in the game and much more.
