Description:

Utilising styles like that seen in 'Sin City' this game is grey-scale; other than the colour red. This game relies heavily on in-game storytelling and bizarre places.

As of yet this game is very early in development.

Story:

A mysterious figure leads Edward Goering, former ranking SS member, through his own deluded sub-concious in an attempt to make amens for his sin. As he descends further through the recesses of his mind, his guilt turns on him. He fights desperately for survival, however, will he want to return to the world with the memory he holds?

"The human brain is the single most powerfull organ in the body. Every action you ever do is a result of processes happening within the brain. However Edward, you
are a living embodyment of somebody who should have this power stricken from his mind. In-fact, that is what I am going to do. You will seek repent for what you have done. I
will make you crawl along the depths of your un-controlled sub-concious till you find freedom... That, or death."

@ Dark James Please don't assume that because we have a team that all of us are working on this one project. Within the team 2 projects are currently being worked on. This project only has two people working on it. Also though it is almost un-noticeable; the pipes in the second screenshot are custom (though that seems minimal more models have been made, if you want to see some of the models made a previous project - which failed - look at this thread: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=181717&b=25) Also, the WWII media were the first entities/segments I gave a re-texture so naturally they were the first entities/segments to be placed in the level. Although I see why you replied in that manner and I hope this cleared that up.

@ Bugsy I knew somebody would say that! . I would like to point out that it doesn't say 'rogue' it says 'rouge' as in the colour (red). Easy mistake.

Hope this cleared any miss-conceptions up!

i would love to see 1 worked screenshot than 10 fastly made Pictures

@ DarkJames I can see your point and screens including some custom media will be posted soon. It is currently being worked on by Ed at ThoughtWire Software. Thanks for expressing your concern though.

@ mgarand Hopefully the combination of stock and custom media will be better than the screens so far! Thanks for the compliment.

@ AbdulAhad I completely agree!

@ born for game Your need will be fulfilled later in this post.

Screenshots (Whoop):
I was going through the pre-made FPSC x10 example maps, and I found one that used water to create a reflective marble effect. So, I made some screens showing styles from a later part of the game being combined with this effect. There is also a screen showing it reflecting a few entities. Though these screens aren't great please remember that these were the result of testing. More in-game screens will be posted soon.

@ charger bandit Well, that particular corridor is solely for a marble reflection test. However, there will be a similar room in the game with a chandelier.

@ Ed at ThoughtWire Software Good.

@ JaredxD It is an effect you can create using water. There is an example level that comes with FPSC x10 that has a nice example. Thanks for the compliment.

The Teddy Bear:
Here is a model for the game as shown in FPSC. There is also a knife (not shown). Thank you to Ed for creating it.

[center]Update Post 4:

Level Structure:
After revising the previous levels to be visited in the storyline, the levels are now going to have themes based on the level of subconscious the player has been set by a mysterious figure.

First Level(s):
These few levels are based around the concept of regret. These levels will be based around revealing to the player what your character has done to get him into this state.

Second Level(s):
These are based on the concept of insanity. These levels will be abstract will be more fear orientated than other parts of the game.

Third Level(s):
Based around the idea of Acceptance of what he has done; this part of the game will be set around his decent into his deep subconscious in an effort find repent for his sin.

Fourth Level(s):
This is an extremely abstract part of the game. Areas in these levels will involve styles used in various other parts of the game funnelling down to conflict with a effigy of his sin. Earning repent and freedom to the real world upon it's defeat.

Screenshot:
This screenshot is a part of the beginning warehouse as it begins to morph into the next area (made this whilst listening to 'Breakthru' by Queen on an unrelated note). Here it is:

@ le shorte Thanks for the compliment! And yeah, I can see why it could be off putting to do something like this.

@ Wolf Thanks, it is nice to know I'm achieving the unique look I set out to accomplish.

Puzzling Puzzles That Puzzle People:
Well, the first level is completed. Although I am now trying to expand the playtime of the level by incorporating puzzles. I have already got one 'find the key' puzzle. But in all honesty, that is quite a terrible puzzle. I am trying to include several puzzle ideas I have had but no luck thus far. So, I want to know if anyone has any ideas for puzzles I can attempt to create that could be nice and involving for the player!

Here is a new screenshot of the final area of the warehouse level. Here it is (sorry for bad quality):

Enemy Encounters of The First Kind:
Today I have been working on the first enemy encounter, however it may be being removed entirely and being placed in the second insanity based levels. I would very much like your opinion on the matter.

The Beams of Life:
I am of course referring to a new entity. Though it may seem simple, it is the first of the custom media for this game to utilise bump mapping. Here is a screenshot of it in action. It has not yet been re-textured for the visual style of the game yet. Here it is:



The Entrance Hall (screenshot):
After the induction mission based in the warehouse this is the first area of the second FPSC level (still in the first chapter of the game). Don't worry, it is yet to be populated with entities. It will also house the chandelier. Here is the screenshot:



A Late Vase:
As implied in the title of this section, this was added after the original post. However, that is really quite unimportant. This is a vase for use in the game (also to be re-textured for use in game). this entity however doesn't have a bump map. But it still look all right! Here is is:

In fact, here is your re-texture in game (no lighting in the screenshot):



Candelabra of Non-Cantankerous Wonder:
Well, Ed has made this new entity for the game. It will take pride of place in the main hall of the second level of the first subconscious chapter. However, I will post a screenshot tomorrow - hopefully - because it is currently being re-textured.

It seems I have missed alot... This looks really good! I like the artstyle you got going (you'll be doing the grey red thing for the vases too,right). Keep it up, looks really nice. Altho the sofa in the "Update post screenie 5" looks kinda unnatural. Would it really stay hanging like that or am I missing something? I tend to do that

The reflection on the floor is achieved by removing the ripple effect on the water, correct?
