RE: I Just Coded my First Jumpscare
Now that just seems kind of extreme.
The problem isn't necessarily that people in the community are stupid, per se (though there are certainly a fair share of stupid people), but merely not mature enough to fully grasp what Amnesia (and the horror genre) is truly all about. the problem lies more in the fact that people who are way too young to be exposed to content as graphic as that depicted in Amnesia, are in fact exposed to it as a result of either poor parenting or... well, no parenting. Then, not only are they exposed to this material (which, due to the psychological nature of it, is far more dense than any person that age would be able to intellectually grasp), but they are even allowed to do whatever they want with the assets within it. Thus, the shitty custom story is born, as people who are unable to grasp the finer psychological nuances and attention to detail that Frictional Games gave us are set forth upon those tools, and the only creations they can divvy out of these tools are the more blatant "shocking" ones that require no set-up or build-up.
I'm just trying to figure out why the fuck Amnesia of all games has attracted so many of these children.
