RPG VX ACE: Horror/Puzzle Game Ideas

Hello everyone!

I have started making a little puzzle game with some horror elements (like dead bodies and jump scares) and the game revolves around trying to find the killer in an abandoned and destroyed castle. But I have a time warp element where the Player can go back in time when the castle was just built and filled with people to find hints for what to do.

Bascially I had wondering if anybody had ideas for maps, because I only so far have a library, entrance, dungeon, and a puzzle room. So, if anybody has any ideas for a map/something to put into the game let me know. If you do offer something to use, I will credit you in the credits.

Also, I am using Khas Lighting Effects for the game, but only when you are in the present, not the past.

Well, you could create a map for the present-mansion and one for the past-mansion: you have to create a tileset for the present and one for the past.

I suggest you to start from the past-tileset: it will contain all the elements of a normal mansion, while the present-mansion will be ruined and abandoned.
So you make a copy of the past-tileset and you edit the various floors, roofs, items etc. to look them like old, ruined, ancient.

Then, when the player goes back in time, you change the tileset used with the proper event option :)

I hope this helped you.
