@Braden 713: Thanks for the kind words! It's nice to have my work compared to a AAA Horror game like Silent Hill (Im not worthy! )

Update: New WIP Shots (Im not going to show any action shots etc. That would ruin the suprise!


Closer View


Comments Welcome

@The Next: Thanks! The grain effect are multiple HUDS that are scripted to move randomly (and the circle on the REC symbol blinks on and off). Im currently fine tuning the system.

It looks good indeed, but you should remove the 'Penumbra' Textures...

The wall textures arent from Penumbra (they are either custom made or from free sites), and I got Non commercial permision for the sign from the author or who was hosting it on a texture site. He stated that Penumbra's makers released the segment/entity textures to the modding and modeling comunity etc over in the penumbra boards for non comercial use.

Just thought id clear that up. Lets stay on topic

Stay tuned

Hey The Next? This is kind of embarrassing, and funny, but where is your contest? The Ultimate FPSC Contest 2009 that you just started? I can't find it anywhere! By the way CoZ, looking great, however the rest of the contestants are doomed...

While the screens show excellent technical skill for me the environments are getting... samey. If I was to see these screens without any background knowledge of this game then I'd say they were from Demon Sun. There are only so many dark, grunge buildings with orange lighting you can do. I would love to see more variety in these environments. Are you planning on mixing it up a bit?
Everyone is saying how you've won this competition but I'm not so sure, because this is like an extension of a game you've been developing for years.

Feel free to prove me wrong though

@Butt monkey: Thanks for the C&C. I understand exactly where your coming from, although may I point out (now this is my fault somewhat for not pointing this out at the start) with the horror genre, It's extremely hard to alter the enviroment to that degree without breaking out of the horror genre. I do use several different lighting styles (apart from orange) and textures (as you can see in the shots), but there is only so far you can go without making the game look unrealistic or breaking out of genre.
If we were to follow your point further, we could say that Dead Space, Doom 3 or FEAR look the same each level despire the different textures used.
Quote: "this is like an extension of a game you've been developing for years. "

You could say that, although you could be getting my distinct style confused with the "same game" feel. Trust me, its different...

Why is there a chalkboard in the middle of nowhere, and it looks alright, but like Silent Hill. A long ways away if you ask me.

Well, this isn't true.

Take a look at "Lifeless" for example, the Scenery looks much more realistic than the most Fpsc "Horror Projects" I saw before, but it still has this frightening touch, which comes from the realistic Level Design (the Maps are abandoned, empty and all that).

I think that you're view of horror is a bit...onesided.

There a different kinds of Horror.

1) The 'In your Face' Horror, like the most american Movies.
2) The Horror Movies like the original "Ringu", which Horror is based on the Sounds, the overall Atmosphere, for me it's kinda frightening on a constant Level.

The list could probably go on for plenty more numbers, but you should get what I mean.

For me I must say that your current Mapping IS unrealistic, and not really frightening, because it's repetitive and everything has to be "filled with Entitys"...

You should use your good Level Design Skills, and experiment with Scenarios that are based on real Photos... just to see how it comes out.

Haha! I don't think so Im actually developing more than ever. I have been working on the new version of DS, and beta testing Various Mods and messing about with them.

I might re-enter now I have the power of Dark AI and a body model behind me.

These Screens rock! I love your Camera Noice Effect and the athmosphere.

Only critics: These lightrays in the las screen. The Positioning sucks somer serious balls. I would suggest to place them differently or let em be.

Well, other than that: Keep it up!

I suggest you remove that post, General, before you get seriously slapped...

And look who is talking: I could say the exact same for you in relation to that Ironsight thread you made a while back. Remember that before you post anything more. The moderators have already cleaned up the Demon Sun thread of comments like this. Please don't start mucking this one up.

Back on topic please. How is the game coming along CoZ?

@General Jackson: Looks like you only did half your research. If you had read the DS thread then you would of realised that it all turned out to be jealous crap that had no truth.

Quote: "i aint very thrilled with you."

Hmm, well to be completely honest, Im not actually bothered if you are or not. Looking at your join date, your pretty much a new user to the forum, and havent known me for long enough to judge me, So I'm not really that bothered about what you think. Im more interested about maintaining my relationships with the more experienced users of this forum.


Quote: "How is the game coming along CoZ? "

The original copy of this entry was deleted some time ago, but I shall be starting a new version this evening so you can expect some shots.

Looking forward to the new screenies man

And, personally I think all that's happened recently, regarding
CoZ and that other thread, should all just be water under the
bridge.
Creator of Zombies is one of the most creative and fantastic level
designers around here, let's just enjoy his work.

I'll still be keeping my eye on this, as stated before, "Silent
Hill quality" game

Hey guys!,
Dont worry about defending me further. As far as Im concerned, It's all water under the bridge, and Iv'e proved my innocence to many people. So..If General Jackson wants to have a hissy fit, about something that in his mind he thinks I did, Then he can...just not on any of my threads. Actually If he really feels that strongly to have a rant, I may be so kind as to make a little thread in the geek culture called "Rant about CoZ" where all such narrow minded forumers can get their rants out of the way, because Im not going to put up with my threads being clogged with immmature, untruthful rubbish.

Enjoy your rant GJ
