Got a new version of SM and it’s coming along great. All I need is a few pointers on the main menu I’m building and a suitable terrain (preferably not flat because it’s less realistic)
But be in mind this game is still only in Beta and will only be given to a select people for testing

-Tripping Slenderman Mode (Collect all notes and slenderman symbols)
(coming during later stages of beta)

-Splenderman (Collect all notes within * minutes)
-Amnesia brute (Collect all notes using Daniel)
-A red fridge for a joke (Collect all notes using all characters, both player and Slenderman)

All this will be done in time but the extras menu is going to take much longer than anything else.
I will post screenshots and videos, progress reports and and additional info necessary to maintain a smooth gameplay.
Any help providing assistance will be greatly appreciated and your name will go directly into the credits.
Thanks guys
My problem isn’t that this is a clone. I’m all for recreating the best game mechanics (to an extent). My problem is that it is a total rip off. From the information above, it is going to be Slender. No be like Slender, but be Slender, just with the ability to customize a few aspects of the game.
That is what led to my totally serious, and not sarcastic comments about this being a clone.
Seriously, a good IP is good…but we’re in the business of creativity, and I mean that in the most literal sense. If you want to recreate something as a personal project that will never see light of day directly, OK. That’s justifiable; you want to improve your skills - nothing wrong with that! But to publicly rip off someone else’s good IP dosen’t just show that you’re not even trying, you could get in a bit of trouble doing it (or at least get slapped with a Cease Desist Order if your work gets too far along.)
To the OP, I offer this challenge: You like the Slenderman theme. Try this - create a horror game along only similar lines. Change the characters, and add a twist that the Slenderman series does not provide players. Don’t just scare our undies off; make us think about how you scared our undies off, such that it leads to a Recursive Algorithm of Undie Scared-Offiness.
Your current theme is already dead in the water. If you want to keep it as a prototype, no worries. But go public with something a bit more original. I’m fairly sure you do have it in you, otherwise you likely wouldn’t have taken the time to download Unity in the first place. You’re better than a copycat; now, you just have to prove it to all of us.
