Silent Hill: Townfall Devs Wrecked Real TVs With Magnets to Nail Retro Authenticity
Developer Screen Burn has revealed an unusually hands-on approach to crafting the look and feel of Silent Hill: Townfall's central in-game gadget, the CRTV. To make the device feel genuinely analogue rather than just aesthetically retro, the team physically destroyed old CRT televisions using magnets, capturing the authentic distortions and artifacts that only real hardware damage can produce. The result is a visual style grounded in tactile, real-world experimentation rather than digital simulation of nostalgia.
