Silent Hill: Townfall's dev team wrecked old TVs with magnets to make its in-game gadget feel real
Silent Hill: Townfall studio Screen Burn used broken TVs and magnets to make its in-game gadget, the CRTV, feel analogue as well as look it.
MagNets is an indie action game released on PC in early 2015. While coverage of the game itself remains sparse, it has recently surfaced in discussions about game development methodology - specifically, Silent Hill: Townfall's developers cited hands-on experimentation with magnets and defunct televisions as inspiration for creating their in-game gadget, the CRTV. The approach reflects a broader trend among developers seeking tactile authenticity in their designs, using practical materials and tools to inform both the visual and mechanical properties of game elements.
