Remaking an AI Horror Game: An Epic Challenge

TLDRIn this video, we embark on the challenge of remaking an AI horror game from scratch. Using Game Maker, we recreate the original 3D game in 2D and improve upon the horror elements. We add a player sprite, a movement system, a game environment, and an enemy AI. With the addition of a lighting system, new assets, and a jump scare, the game starts to take shape. We then introduce actual gameplay, where the player must survive for 10 minutes in a forest while avoiding the enemy. Finally, we add an upgrade system, including a gun, to give the player an advantage. Watch the video to witness the transformation of the AI horror game!
