Please change the light colour as well, it's just too yellow...

I guess the axe is supposed to be mounted on the wall

use of dynamic lights and shadders makes it hard to blend dynamic stuff into the environment - but that effect is probaby wanted (my guess is, that the axe is there to be taken by the PC )

that second screenshot is much better, and why don't you try populating the room/hallway a bit more? a pipe or two and maybe a few boxes would really help.

see? that look much better, good job.
note: try playing around with the lights a bit.
turn the ambience level to about 20-30, and add some dynamic lights using the light 2 main script, that makes them flicker.

honestly, is that all you can come up with dj master? zombies?

take some advise form me, try to keep your enemie count LOW LOW LOW, use lighting, sounds and jumps to keep the player on edge. i did this in dead ship, and my friend who played actually had to stop playing he was so scared!

sigh... if you look at all the actually scary games (things like dead space) there will be large paues where there are no enemies at all. it keeps the player on edg, and makes them more scared when the enemie does come.

Ever play Left 4 Dead? Theres millions of zombies and you'll find that makes it the most un-scariest game out there (if one of the most humerous ) Zombies don't make things scary.....ever, in my opinion

Try to do something unique...which yes, i understand is quite hard with FPSC sometimes. Do something where the enemy isn't really an enemy, more of an unseen force that just wants to mess with your head. A phsycological horror, sounds like it'd fit your uh..story quite well.

Anyways, don't listen to my ranting, good luck with your game

All the best

i think epikshi is right, if you look at dead space, you'll find that a lot of the scariness comes from sounds, and if you check with ANY game developer, they will tell you the same thing.
i have some suggested things you could put in.

1. ATMOSPHERE
creepy voice overs a brilliant for this.
if you edit the effets on your voice, and have a sound zone with a voice saying "i'm behind you...i'm so close, i can almost touch you...ha ha ha ha!" that would SCARE THE CRA* out of me.

2. LIGHTING
these creepy voice overs will suck if you don't have the right lighting for them. try making the ambience level about 30 and have a flickering light in the dark, then make him say it.

3. EFFECTS
try using sounds, dynamic entities and possibly videos to keep the player on edge.
for example: footsteps when the player is walking along a dark corridor, followed by a tinkle of shattered glass, then a sound.. was it a growl? no, it can't be... that's stupid, then, as the player is leaving the corridor, a bounding, a snarl, the player turns round... and BAM! there's nothing but empty space and the wind going through the corridor.

see what i'm getting at? with the right use of these 3 concepts any game-maker can make a horror game so creepy, so terrifying... you know the rest.

Yep, that basically covers it...What shadowfire said that is

If you evvver get the chance infected: play any of the Penumbra games, you will see exactly what we are talking about, preferably Black plague

You will see what gets to people most, is the suspense and paranoia, not omg theres a scary looking monster rawr... Dont get me wrong, not saying don't use any enemies, just use fewer and in the right manner and you will achieve "Epic Horror"

There i go, ranting again , you gotta stop me next time dude...

All the best

Lol what a debate,here are my zombie game rules:

1.Tons of blood and heads rolling
2.Tons of zombies
3.Crazy sounds for you to dislike zombies even more
4.Serious weaponry

Combine these and you've got a massacre.

yeah, that's all good, but not for a serious horror game.
if you want to REALLY scare the player, you've got to use epikshi and i's rules.

I don't think you HAVE to. Yes they make a scary game, but those are not the only things in the world of gaming. Sounds are a good way to scare people, but there is some games, where all the gore makes the game scary.

So, I think that there is no such kind of rules that you HAVE to go with. Sounds are good if you use them wise AND gore and things you can see, can scare the player if used wise.

I think that, HCZ Hardcore Zombie Project, was one of the scariest games I've played. It was becouse of zombies and cuz they were so "realistic" in that way, that you need to shoot 'em in the head. But what was scary, was that it had it's bounderies. It wasn't like there was 50 zombies everywhere. It was becouse there was a zombie here and there.

PS. I like L4D becouse it has so many zombies and really eggy weapons! Just like Djmaster said. It gave some scares in somepoint´, where tons of zombies jsut appeard behind the corner. But even a horror game doesen't have to be scary, to be good.

Back to topic. I like the look of this game and cant't wait to play it. Now, could someone stop me, before I run out of letters and words!

Quote: "But even a horror game doesen't have to be scary, to be good."

Ya well, then it's not really a horror game Dosn't mean its not good correct, Left 4 Dead is an amazing game, but i don't consider it to be horror.. I agree, enemies do make the game scary as i said but only when used sparingly and in the right manner that will actually scare the player. Also like in penumbra, you had very weak or no weapons and either was stuck running or finding clever ways to eliminate your opponents such as using environmental factors.

Ah there i go again, maybe i need to stop watching this thread

Cya next week then

All the best

hmmm... metal devil, you're definately right about the gore, i forgot to include it. you need a good use of enviroment and models to scare as well.

Yes. And I'm not saying that your "rules" that I call very good parts in horror., would be worthless. Yeas they are very good things, and those are needed in the game too, cuz usually game is a big thing and has a lot of scares.

And I agree that L4D is not that mutch of an horror. It's fast paced (very fast paced) action game with a little tiny tough of horror. Not mutch. It's exciting when zombies come. Not that scary. That's what I ment.
