I'm becoming a video game dev

I'm going to start making horror games like right now as a real game dev. It's a solo project. I am setting out to create the game that I myself would want to play, which will capitalize on creepiness, and an overall atmosphere that, if played alone in the dark, will put a nice chill down your spine.
And no, I don't code. And no, I don't draw. I'm just a script writer with a program.

Just make sure your idea is original. Try not to dip too heavily into the typical cliches, like Asylums, Schools, Gravesites, Secret Government Locations, Space Stations, etc.

Might I recommend a museum as the central location?

Then under no circumstances should you be a one man team. Find a designer, find a programmer.

You make it sound easy. I don't know anyone and I assume that no one would be willing to work on this game with me, because idk. I don't need help anyway

You will awaken from a deep sleep in a dark place and try to figure out where you are and what happened to u

Congratulations on landing a job in the Video Games industry.

Will this game be on steam? if so you might want to inform Tom when it's released. It's always fun to see Newgrounders be successful.

I am self employed and currently not sure whether my game will be free or not. If it is very successful, and people on steam will buy it, then that's the way I'll go. Otherwise, I'll release it 4 free

I don't have an official "job" in the VG industry but I am hoping perhaps my talent is noticed by some peeps who can hire me after I put out some shit.

I have no idea how any of this is going to work and I don't think you do either.
