hi all, i have recently created the first level of my new FREE fpsc game, darkest depths. i am doing this purely for fun, and the whole thing will be free.

story:
you are a maintenance engineer who has been working on the S.M.C (space mining corps) halberd, a vast ship the size of a city mining asteroids out in deep space.
you have recently returned to engineering after a 2-week trip to the bridge, fixing several consoles that mysteriously exploded.
bearing in mind that the whole ship is bigger than a city, going to other parts of the ship are like holidays, with very little contact between the different parts.(except of course, cheifs of department and senior officers)
a rumour has spread across the engineering deck that something is down there, and people are going missing.
of course, the senior officers have dismissed it as nonsense, people just going to other parts of the ship without telling anyone.
but they are wrong.
something is down there.
something is killing people.
and you've just come back to find everybody you know gone.
welcome, to the darkest depths.

darkest depths is an intense horror-survival game which not only brings you to the edge of your seat, but to the edge of your sanity.

screenshot attached, download link coming soon!

......
UPDATE

level one is (beta) finished, and the prologue is 90% complete

the onion mind probes are coming for your soul...
they take your humanity... and give you...
onionity.

I just played it. It was pretty good, you made a good atmosphere, and the whole singing part was kinda creepy. Are you gonna make a whole game?

I'm downloading. I'll say what I think of it after that... Looks cool.



That's what I found.


Rick astley!

Never gonna give you up!
Never gonna let you down!
Never gonna run around and desert you!


Ok. It was scary in a good way. It had it's own kinda mood. It wasn't like all the other horror games in here. It had different kinda atmosphere. But don't put RickRoll in the final version... LoL. That brought me to the edge of sanity.

OFFTOPIC: I got the DJ at my school dance to rick roll my entire grade XD.

ONTOPIC: I'm interested to see how you make the spiders story-wise. Are they failed genetic experiments? This should be good.

aaah! jst wait and see... (taps nose)

anyway

1. no, theree will be no rickrolling in the final version.
2. i'm going to try to use voice-acting to make a decent story.
3. and i'm trying to stay away from "blood gore zombie" horror games.
4. that picture metaldevil? i have never seen it. HONESTLY I MADE THE NAME UP I DIDN'T COPY IT INTENTIONALLY

prologue made, i'll update the download when i have a few more levels.

I will be waiting. I like the fact that this scares more with sounds than all that gore.When there starts that spider song (I don't know it's name in english) there is very disturbing feeling. Have you watched the strangers. There is this old gramofon where it goes over the same second over and over again cause it's stuck somehow. I get the same disturbing feeling.

yeah, i'm trying to go with a more "dead space" fell to it.
i've noticed that horror game are often more scary when there are a small amount of enimies.

p.s (the spider song is called itsy bitsy spider.)

Looks very promising, I played it 3 times

PLUS:
- The only games I've seen so far that looks good using a "empty" segment design. It really feels like the player is in an area thats rarely used/visited
- Excellent use of fog/lighting to create a chill athmosphere. Most scifi levels I've played look like they are in some underground facility near a volcano - but this one really feels like being in space.
- nearly lagfree
- good use of sound

MINUS
- too short
- the terror effects are those everybody uses.

Usually excessive fog settings tend to make FPSC games laggy on my comp (including the ones I build myself). might I ask if you used triggered fogs or any special settings?

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

hmmm... the fog is the steam coming from all the numerous pipes and such around. remmember it's the real "gut" of the ship so i am trying to make it look empty and unused.
also, the level looks rubbish without fog

i'm trying to make different uses for fear but it is hard.
i'm really trying to stay away from the "zombie " sort of genre.

anyway, the next beta (with prologue) will be uploaded as soon as i sort out some technical issues.

Downloading now, I will provide feedback once I've played it.

EDIT: Great job, I was scared out of my mind during the prologue. I was still scared by the original one, XD.

but some constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated as i have no idea as to what to improve.

Okay, the door block in the prologue could be walked through and the halls were a little cramped. The spider couldn't injure me for some reason. The pipes also had a little overlapping textures glitch going on. I hope this helps some.

Allright cool prologue

As for constructive crit. , when your in the train station is the train supposed to be lowered where you can stand on the roof?...

one of the back corners in the train station has a hole in the floor.

A lot of textures overlap (hate it when FPSC does that )

You had a lllloooottt of dynamic entities which really slowed down the game for me


Other then that i can't find anything else Coach shogun hasnt already

Great start dude, can't wait to play further into it!

All the best

p.s damn, i got rickrolled again

rickrolled... he he

as for your c&c

1.overlapping pipes? sorry but i can't really help that.
2. the train is supposed to be... somewhere, if you look, it's actually a coach.
3. spider? it's using a zombie script...whoops
4.what hole in the floor?!
5.i'll try and cut down on dynamic entities.

thanks for the C&C!

Its easy to solve the pipes. Step 1. Go into the map editor. Step 2. Move the pipe further away from each other, until the entities meet and don't overlap each other.

Hope that helps some.
