Description

HANGAR 8 is a psychological horror set within the unsettling confines of a derelict space station. Brave the looping corridors, discover all 42 anomalies, collect key items, and escape the nightmare! Blending anomaly spotting mechanics from games such as "The Exit 8" and "I'm on Observation Duty", with the liminal-space psychological horror of "The Backrooms", HANGAR 8 challenges both your memory and your sanity.

History

I have been trying to become a game developer basically my entire life. I started playing the SNES, then went onto PS1, then 2, and then I got a gaming computer and PC has been where it's at ever since. Thus, from a young age games have been a huge part of my life. The first time I ever dabbled in some sort of coding was when I taught myself HTML to make a more attractive shop and collection page on Neopets of all things! My step-father at the time also gave me a set of floppy discs containing .NET tutorials, and while the family was enjoying a beachfront holiday, I was sitting at a table making myself a game that was a sort of tic-tac-toe you could play by yourself.... it was horrible 🙀I also went to college for Computer Science where they taught me some more .NET, but the South African education system at the time was not equipped for Game Development and it didn't help me to achieve my dream. To do that I would have to do what I did with HTML and Graphic Design, and teach myself!

I chose to make a game inspired by "The Exit 8" when Insym made a comment that it would be one of the easier games to make (a game like "I'm On Observation Duty" maybe being a little easier.), and I agreed. I am a huge Science Fiction fan, so I decided to make my game based on a space station and you had to escape it. On ‎Wednesday, ‎20 ‎March ‎2024, ‏at ‎08:58:54 my local time, I started up GODOT and got to work creating HANGAR 8.
