H guys,
Here are two test screenshots."What do you mean i hear you cry",well,allow me to explain.

As some of you are aware,I am going to place some physiological horror into the game.So I thought i would try out some Physiological tactics. I heard a fact from someone that humans are mentaly unsettled by the colours black and white,especialy in games.So i thought i would put theese theories to the test. Attatched are two screenshots of the two scare tactics. I would like to know the following from you guys: 1) Would this scare you and 2) Any reccomendations for Physiological scare tactics.Theese shots are not taken from in-game gameplay,they are test maps.The reason for this is that I do not to post two Screenhots from the actual game when I am testing,due they could be rubbish,and affect peoples opinion on the final game.
The actual game is going smoothly,and is turning out to be nail bitingly scary!!. I am currently working on the hell part of the level.It's looking brilliant.I shall post some screenshots soon.

Anyway Screenshot 1

Josh

Screenie 1: That's the Half Life 2 Zombie right? And what are those white dots on the cieling? Lights?

My advice: You need to have some sound zones play scary, well, sounds while walking through the darkness. Also, you should have the zombie guy come at you until you can't see him, and at that point have him disappear so the player is scared of the zombie that isn't even there anymore. Make sure to have him fade out though so when the player shoots he/she can't see him.

Screenie 2: Nice. I love the empty room, the chair, and the newspaper. Makes you wonder what happened here.

My Advice: I think you should give the chair a script so that when you come with a certain distance, it follows a small waypoint and then stops. The waypoint should be just like a couple feet. Also, I think you should put in some creepy echoing noises in this room. (I wouldn't put both of these in this room, pick one)

I would give you more psychological scare tactics, but that's pretty much what my game will rely on so I don't wanna spoil the surprise!

Looks great!

Why in the heck do you hate Mac? It's ten times better than Windows!

3. Destroyed scenery. Must have.

2. Limited ammo, and a melee weapon. When you run out of ammo, you have to get up close and personal.

1. Sound effects. The sounds make or break the game.

MAC is much more safer and secure than Windows ,but it lacks the compatibility of lots of programs and games.

1) Silhouettes (sp?) of people

2) Good sounds effects/chilling music

3) a good balance of building tension and shock-moments

That looks really good! I can't tell if it's custom media or not though because it's so dark. Is it custom?

It's when you apply a mask consisting of different shades of grey white and black.Then when placed in the game,it causes different degrees of transparency. (I think)

Screenshots = comming soon

@Opposing force: Thanks for the comment.
Quote: "What models will you be using for the enemies?"

This is one of the small problems I am facing. I have all the model packs,but the problem is,none of the zombies in the packs "fit in" with the mood of the game. I would be very pleased if someone could make a more "hellish" texture of the zombie surgion,cop or HL2 zombie.This would help me out a lot!

@pertti-Thanks

Well I know what scares me. The enemies in that game "system shock 2". Have something like that in your game and i'll sure scream . If you want I could have a go retexturing the Half life 2 zombie for you. I don't know whether or not i'll do a good job of it though

@Opposing force: That would be great. Post th texture on this thread when you have finished.

Quote: ""system shock 2""

That game brings back memories of dark,cold winter nights filled with nightmares. It is one of the scariest games ever. Especialy the twisted computer. I hope my PC doesn't become like that!

Thanks,look forward to the texture

Josh

{Note} There is now NO ammo counter OR health counter in the game.Listen out for the "Dead man's click". Screenshots comming soon!
