It's a little bit complicated, Smiley Dusty's development journey was a winding road. It began in July 2023 as a Roblox Doors-inspired project in Unity. Initially, I envisioned a complex game with 50 interconnected rooms, each featuring unique challenges and enemies. However, All I did is creating the basics player movements and animations,I soon realized the scope was too ambitious for a beginner like me. After a break, I attempted to reshape it into an anomaly game similar to Exit 8 . While progress was made on the house layout, I again encountered roadblocks due to complexity. Finally, inspired by story-driven games like Fears to Fathom, I pivoted in March 8th "I guess" to focus on a more manageable concept: a narrative-based experience with simpler gameplay. This streamlined approach allowed for smoother development, taking roughly 2-3 months to complete.
