Devlog #1: Introducing Midnight Warden - Survive the Night in a Haunted Forest

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to finally share the development of our latest horror project, Midnight Warden. This game will push you to your limits as you take on the role of a lone forest warden trying to survive four terrifying nights in the heart of a dark and dangerous forest.

What is Midnight Warden?

Midnight Warden is a survival horror game where you play as a forest warden stationed at a remote cabin in Sector A9. Your task is simple: survive the night. But the forest is far from peaceful—creatures lurk in the shadows, and you’ll need to manage resources, monitor security systems, and protect yourself from the unknown. Each night brings new threats, and with only limited ammunition and a flashlight, you must use your wits and survival skills to stay alive.

What’s been done so far?

We’ve made great progress in the development of Midnight Warden. Here’s what we’ve completed so far:

• Environment Design: The terrain around the cabin has been designed, capturing the eerie atmosphere of a dark and haunted forest. We’ve used Unity’s URP to create a more atmospheric lighting system that enhances the fear factor.
• Cabin Model: The cabin, your main shelter, is fully modeled and ready. It’s both a safe haven and a prison that you must defend.
• Player Character: The player model is complete and integrated into the game. You’ll take on the role of the warden, trying to survive against all odds.

Upcoming Features:

We’re continuing to work hard on adding more features, and here’s what you can expect in future updates:

• CCTV System: You’ll be able to monitor the forest through cameras installed around the cabin. Watch out for any signs of danger!
• Power Generator: Keeping the power on is crucial for survival. If the generator fails, you’ll be left in the dark, vulnerable to whatever is out there.
• Monster AI: We’re working on a dynamic AI system for the creatures that will hunt you during the nights. They’ll adapt to your actions, making each night a new and terrifying experience.
• Survival Mechanics: Limited resources like ammunition and flashlight batteries will force you to make difficult choices. Will you use your ammo now, or save it for later when things get worse?

Why Midnight Warden?

As fans of survival horror and tense, atmospheric games, we wanted to create a game that not only challenges your survival instincts but also keeps you on the edge of your seat with every moment. With Midnight Warden, we’re blending elements of classic survival horror with a modern twist to create a truly terrifying experience.

What’s Next?

We’re planning to release a demo soon for players to experience the first night of Midnight Warden. Stay tuned for updates, and don’t forget to follow the project to keep up with the latest news. We’ll be sharing more about the game’s progress, features, and updates in future devlogs!

Thanks for checking out Midnight Warden! We can’t wait for you to experience the fear and tension that we’re building into the game. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment!

See you in the dark…
