I'm torn on which direction to take my game.
Should I stick with the original horror theme, or pivot to something more like a generic urban fantasy setting?
Some thoughts:
>Image generation is harder with horror.
AI tools have a harder time producing consistent horror visuals. That said, this isn't a dealbreaker — all images are placeholders and will eventually be replaced by proper illustrations anyway.
>Horror is harder to market.
Not everyone enjoys horror. Some outright avoid it, and there's a risk it could limit the game's appeal. I keep thinking of Hecatomb and how it just vanished.
>My game's core themes lean horror.
The color philosophies — Hunger, Curiosity, Passion, and Fear — feel tailor-made for a horror setting. If I switched to urban fantasy, I’d probably need to rename them. But to what? No idea yet.
>I'm not actually a horror guy.
I like the idea of horror, but I’m a bit of a coward and I don’t have much experience writing or running horror stories. Urban fantasy would be way more comfortable for me to develop.
>Urban fantasy might be out of fashion?
Feels like the general public still leans heavily toward classic medieval fantasy. I’m not sure there’s much hype around modern/urban fantasy these days.
