To make a horror game on Roblox, start with building and environment. Create your map with scary settings like classrooms, corridors, and rooms. Use realistic textures and models from the Roblox Toolbox or horror game texture packs to enhance the atmosphere.
Next, focus on lighting and atmosphere. Adjust lighting settings to create a creepy vibe, using dark colors for Ambient and OutdoorAmbient. Set the Technology to “Future” for realistic lighting and shadows, but mind the performance impact.
For graphics and visual effects, control the color palette by lowering the saturation for an eerie feel. Use Bloom and Glare effects to enhance lighting, but note that they won’t apply if Lighting’s brightness is set to 0.
Sound and audio play a crucial role in horror games. Add realistic sound effects like ambient noises and door creaks to boost immersion. You can use Roblox’s built-in sounds or import custom ones for a more authentic experience.
Scripting and interactivity are vital. Script objects like doors and drawers to interact with players, using services like TweenService and ProximityPrompt. Add a flashlight feature by creating a part with a spotlight for better gameplay in dark areas.
Finally, enrich the gameplay and story. Incorporate horror elements like common phobias and use Easter eggs to build tension. Multiple endings can also increase replay value, making your game more engaging.
