HORROR MECHANICS AND SYSTEMS...

…without ever writing a single line of code.

Your instructor…

Stephen Scott Day

I'm a game designer and educator focused on helping artists and solo devs build full games without writing a single line of code.

I started out making tutorials on YouTube just to share what I was learning. Then PlayMaker reached out and asked me to create their official tutorial series, and I’ve been teaching thousands of devs ever since.

Helping other creators bring their ideas to life from spark to finished game, is the most fulfilling part of what I do. There’s nothing better than watching someone realize they can actually make the thing they’ve been dreaming about.

This course teaches you not just how to do things,

but why you’re doing them, so you gain real understanding.

Build a functional first-person controller with interaction
Create enemies that chase, attack, and respond to headshots
Design puzzles with locked doors, safes, and dynamic codes
Add guns, ammo, and a flashlight with a battery system
Craft ambient music, spatial sound FX, and trigger zones
Implement haunted object behavior and custom scare logic
Polish your game with post-processing and retro visuals
Build menus and UI for a complete player experience
Export for desktop and WebGL, and publish on itch.io

About the Course

Ever wanted to make your own horror game, but felt held back by coding?

With Unity and PlayMaker, you don’t need to write a single line of code to build a terrifying, atmospheric experience from scratch. In this course, I’ll show you exactly how.

This is a course for creators who want to do it all themselves (design, logic, visuals, sound) without getting stuck in the complexity of C#. You’ll use PlayMaker to visually program systems and mechanics while still unlocking the full power of Unity’s game engine.

You’ll also learn to use free tools like Blender to create and texture simple 3D models, Audacity for sound editing, and Photopia to build retro PS1-style visuals.

Whether this is your first finished project or just your first horror game, this course will give you the skills and confidence to bring your ideas to life.

Here’s what they’re saying…

        Just finished your Playmaker horror course. I'm using it for my final project in my University Video game development course. I've never used Playmaker after 7 years of Unity development and can't believe how easy you've made the whole experience. Almost everything I had in my design document was covered perfectly.

        This course not only teaches you HOW to do it but all the ins and outs so you can adjust it to what you want. I learned so much, took a ton of notes and I still rewatch videos from time to time when something isn't working. [...] I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to get their feet wet with game design and horror games are always in demand.

        Purchased and started my learning journey. Exactly what I need and totally worth it. Would definitely purchase if more tutorials are available. I would say this man is Bob Ross of playmaker lecturing.

        Just in the first kitbashing lesson I've learned the answers to like so many freaking newb question I have in general. I feel dirty, this stuff is so much more than asking price.

        Yeah, Stephen has a teaching style that is pretty empowering. PlayMaker has unlocked what I've wanted to do with game dev. Stephen has really helped open the door to all the core concepts.

        My studio just bought a copy of the new horror playmaker course! [...] ...it's really good and goes through the details more step by step.

        Great work, easy to follow and clear logic. Everything is laid out in a good way and it is a great basis to learn how to structure your own projects.
