PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BUT THE BUILD IS NOW PLAYABLE!

RADIO-HEADED HORROR

   It is July 2023, and that means it is time for the town of Bailey's annual Amateur Radio Direction Finding competition - and this time, with Mountain Bikes thrown into the mix! What the competitors don't expect, though, is that something might be lurking in the shadows...


   Made in just one week for the Scream Dunk 2023 Horror Jam, themed Sports. Radio-Headed Horror is a first person horror game based not only on one sport, but two: Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) and Mountain Biking.


BIKE AND ON-FOOT GAMEPLAY

     Move freely around Bailey's National Park on your very own Mountain Bike, or jump out and walk around whenever you feel like it. Our game features a fully functional physics-based rideable bike that you can use to traverse the park faster and escape the unknown Horror.


RADIO DIRECTION FINDING

  Use your Handheld Radio Receiver to pick up the signal from nearby Radio Transmitter Checkpoints, and find their location before it is too late. Use your map, compass and directional skills to navigate the Park, but beware: whenever a Checkpoint is secured, the Horror grows angrier...


SURVIVAL HORROR


  Survive the unstoppable Horror that lurks in the shadows, unrelenting and hungry... Running away from it might grant you some temporary breathing room, but it will not give up...


PLANNED UPDATE

  While we are quite happy with how much we've accomplished on this Jam on just 7 days, the game has one big issue that we could not figure out during the Jam period: the trees. Yes, you might notice the map is pretty empty, and that was not the plan. We were going to have a massive forest that you could explore, ride the bike around while dodging the trees, and much more. As it turns out, the trees were dealing a massive hit to performance to the game, and rendering it unplayable. This was an issue we should have foreseen, but didn't really cross our minds until it was too late, so we will wait until the Jam's Voting Period ends so we can attempt an update.

  The map also lacks quit a bit of elevation, and that is mostly due to the bike still being quite janky due to its physics-based nature. Further updates to the map and the bike movement are also planned.
