    I think video games are perfect for liminal spaces because since I was a child, I have a feeling of "loneliness" when I play, especially "empty" games (without npc's). A feeling that makes me miss humanity, get up from the chair and go after someone to interact. living in a liminal space should be like this

    The old 18 Wheels of Steel truck sim games sort of reminded me of this as well. Especially the in game cities felt dead and empty. There was a glitch in the game where you could fall through the ground. You would just fall forever, with the HUD GPS freaking out. The arrow on the GPS would literally grow, and all you would hear is beeping, and text on screen would say "EMERGENCY RESCUE $500 FEE: PRESS F5" or something like that, in blood red letters. You would hear the engine of the truck die out, leaving only the beeping, and you falling and spinning endlessly, and your only escape would be to pay 500 dollars and wake up at a silent auto repair shop. There was such a thing as other truckers in the games, but they would seem dead and shallow, like they were brainwashed or something. Interaction was thoughtless and boring, they didn't even care if you crashed into them. A few low-poly NPC cars littered the streets, driving around city blocks for hours, waiting at each and every traffic light for nothing. In order to make cities seem larger, the game had roads that were under construction. There were a few construction barriers, but not much else. Indeed it was a pretty weak barrier. My 6 year old self decided to drive right around the roadblocks and past some random construction equipment. First off, things seemed pretty normal, a few non-moving cars here and there, nothing much. I rounded a bend to see that the buildings had been replaced with the void. All there was was a road and sidewalk. I kept going right to where the road ended. It led right down deep into a dark blackness, a black darkness, which could consume the player so easily. That game had its flaws, and I had my nightmares. I had nightmares of my grandfather's big rig driving down the highway, slowly sinking into the asphalt, without him noticing. I also dreamed of the old Windows XP PC powering on mid-night, showing only a tractor trailer descending into hell.

      Ducks are nothing, man. Silver-Laced Wyandottes, standing all around you in a perfect half-circle like you owe them a tax or something just for being in their presence. They're the real menacing birds. Oh yeah, and they make this very low bass noise by their clucking noises, too. I've seen some crazy stuff happen to raccoons that tried to attack their coop. One of the raccoons had a strange purple glow and his hair was standing on end when he was standing 10 meters from the coop, then he got struck by lightning 2.5 meters away. My advice? Stay out of the Eldritch Zones of the chicken farm sector of InfiniSpace™.

      Just so you know, try not to make complicated code if you just started coding if you wanna release that game early. Focus on core things like player movement, camera movement and sound managers. Other things like adding menu are not required but if you finish with the game and got more time to spend, you can work on things like that.

      And at some point when I’m skilled enough to do it, or when the games ready for it. I’d like a plethora of sounds to be generated into music based on the parameters or seed of the generated area (which would consist of ambience, strange sci-fi noises, metal/industrial flutters and again anything serene)

    I remember right in the middle of the lockdown I had to go back to my work office in an emergency. What would usually be a well lit space with people working and walking around and telephones ringing frequently, was a dark and silent space accompanied by the subtle blow of the aircon. I was the only one in the entire floor since 90% of people were working from home and had stayed there for about 3 hours. I kinda felt like I was in a survival/horror game going around and completing my work tasks like game objectives to escape the building. Not at all spooky but was a really interesting time.

      A bridge, a hallway, malls between opening times. A house after its inhabited, but before it's completely destroyed. Unemployment, stairways, cacoons. The space between the floor boards and the building foundation. The very edge of a city, the doorway of a house.
      It's those "in between" places. They are places that are so common, yet are never seen. If you ever stop at one of these locations, you might realize how strange and unfamiliar they are, despite seeing them everyday. You might think, "this doorway has been stepped in 10,000 times, yet nothing has probably ever happened in it. They're places you aren't supposed to be. You aren't supposed to linger there. What will happen if you do?

    Honestly I never get creeped out or scared by any of these. But 3:40 is the only one that makes me wanna stop watching. I've played Garry's Mod for years simply for the unlimited supply of creativity you can create all by yourself or with others. I've played this map most of the time I would play by myself and they've all just been happy memories (I stopped playing for 4 years) but holy shit, I haven't felt this uncomfortable in a really long time. Most of the time I would be laughing or just messing around playing this game, never been scared by this game. But this just nails it honestly. The fact that I have no bad memories from this place makes it even more uncomfortable because this would be the first bad memory. The music really sends chills down my spine too. But bravo this was the first ever one in your channel to creep me out.

    Liminal spaces, especially when it comes to games always makes me remember this old freaky game called LSD Dream Emulator, along with Yumi Nikki. Both are similar in the sense that you are exploring weird, usually empty places where it definitely seems like someone had been there but are no longer around. I kinda hope more people make games like those two - it would be awesome as hell to have a game where you just explored with no other beings anywhere to be seen.

    ngl I got hit with some heavy nostalgia when I heard the Mirror's Edge ambiance. I've probably played through that game 30 times, and I'm just now realizing how much of a liminal space gold mine it is, with all of it's large featureless office buildings and empty malls. Like that's some textbook liminal space and it's everywhere in that game. You could probably make an entire liminal space video just out of Mirror's Edge screenshots.
