Hi there

@ Inspire:
Quote: "I think it looks a bit lower quality than your other textures. It looks like it got stretched or something."

It's actualy a high res texture. It's just the dim lighting that makes it look stretched. (see attached screenshot)

@Nigezu: Thanks Dude

@nakidno:Good idea. I might go with it if the current texture is not good enough.

@Brummel:The enemies are a mixture of knife wielding monsters and chainsaw brandishing freaks. Don't want to spoil it to much


TO THE WORLD
I shall be starting work on level 2 in just over a hour,so expect more screenshots over the next few days. The attached screenshot shows the cave texture in brighter light.

Opinions welcome

I like the looks of it. For once, the nearly black ambience seems to fit the atmosphere in an FPSC game. Good job.

Hi guys,
I have now started game dev once again. I now have a six week holiday so there's no excuse. Attached is a screenshot taken from a dim passage. I have used some different colour lighting in this shot,to create a rustic atmosphere. I have also included illusionmap shaders on the wall lights to create a realistic feel. Please tell me what you think due to I shall be selling the first chapter soon.

Expect more shots soon

Actually, it's illumination, not illusion maps.

As for the screen, it looks bloody amazing.

Hi guys,
Attached are two screenshots taken from inside of the cave. The first shot is more brightly lit than the others. This allow's the player to have a quick break from all the dark scaryness. But don't worry,this won't last. The rest of the level from here is....well lets just say,whoever plays this game needs to pack spare underpants!!

Shot one attached

here is shot two. It's showing you a status report. Notice the bit of crude Humor I threw in. This is to break the ice so to speak. But don't worry,the tension builds straight back up after this room

It looks and read very nicely, at least from a screenshot-viewers point of view.
Good job, can't wait to see more.

It's funnier to read notes in horror games when they include long text, by standing there redaing the notes looking over you shoulder all the time. Like in penumbra, that game scared the sh*t out of me. But i like the way you wrote the notes, great job! And one thing that would be good (If you don't have this on mind) is a diary of one of the workers that gives some clues, as a guide or something.

Keep up the good work!!

Btw, are you swe? (I got thinking about the newspaper on the demo)

First screenshot looks good, but I have a few criticisms about the second one.

If this guy is the boss, the part where it says "but what!?!" would just be written as "but what?", in my opinion. Also, wouldn't his name be punctuated as "Mr. P. Cole"? One more thing. The burning of the paper was pretty sloppily done. I could do it for you, if you would like.

I know I'm being overly critical about your game, but I know that this game could be really good, and I'm pretty sure you want to make the best game you can, so I'm just giving you a heads up.

Hi guys,
I have just arrived back from a two day course,and I just got a chance to read my thread.

@nakidno:Thanks.
Quote: "Btw, are you swe?"

Lol,No im english

@Inspire:Thanks for the constructive criticism!! I rather people be honest,than post BS comments. I agree that the paper texture was kinda rubbish,and I would be very greatfull if you could make one for me. Send the texture to my email. As for the punctuation,once I have recived your paper texture,I shall re-write the note. Thanks for the heads up!!

Expect more screenshots soon!!!

Or burned of.

Now its to straight.

Hope this game works out well!

I think it looks good.

But this is just my opinion....

But i think that most of the rooms have the same sort of...

Feeling not that they look the same but...
Its just like when you are walking in the first room you get out...
Then you are in the second room and you have a feeling that you already have been there.

I am not saying that it is bad cause this game simply isnt bad.
It belongs to the top games in these forums.

Keep up the good work and would like to see more screenies!

@Cheese Cake: I understand your point,and I shall find a way to work around this problem. My only point is,that this 'issue' is partly down to the limitations of FPSC.While FPSC is a great tool,you are forced in a way to create levels consisting of several rooms,vents etc. IF you do manage to create a outdoor,it normaly looks crap (especialy in a horror game),and the framerate on most people's computers dips to a unplayable,due to FPSC's also rubbish portal system.
But,on the other hand,this is also down to me,maybe not thinking "outside the box" in my level designing. If i could create a decent outdoor level etc,then I would,but with most horror games (ex.F.E.A.R,Doom3,Condemmed etc),it is best kept inside. Now this is not normaly a limitation for companies that use different languages/engines,due to they are not confined so tightly to the single princible of 'you must do this,because the engine is not capeable of doing that' etc. If FPSC had it's own particle system,or decent bumpmapping,shaders etc,then I could create many other cool effects for my levels,but it doesn't,so you have to stick within the boundries on the engine.
I would be very welcome,if you or anyone else could give me a few tips/solutions,on how to stop my rooms looking slightly 'the same' as to speak.

Thanks for the help and comments

expect more shots soon!!!

I dont know for solutions or any tips...

But i can say that this is your style and this style fits in perfectly with the game.

Maybe by changing some segments or entities it would lose the style.

Therefore losing its "feeling".

Unless you have a perfect solution to change it,
i think remaining this is the best thing to do.

Simply this game is looking very promising.
And not just a map where entities are placed random.

I can only say that you must do what you think is the best thing for your game.

I think the layout looks very nice but.

If thats a cave i think its better to make your own mesh for the
segment.

A more rocky mesh.

Because now its to straight.

Hi guys,

I took 'Cheese Cakes' advice and created a more rocky mesh for the cave.The shot attached shows this in action (look at the wall on the left side). I know the shot doesn't show this amazingly clearly,and it looks much better in a proper level with the correct entities. I would just like to know your opinion.

Please leave feedback

More shots coming soon

ps: I shall be going away on saturday for 9 days,but I shall keep in touch

Yes there is. It's quite old now,but if you go back a few pages,you should see a link directing you to the download. Please leave a review after playing!!

@ Everyone: I shall try and get some more game dev done tomorrow,or maybe later today. There probably won't be any more shots uploaded until I come back from England in 9 days time. Im working on some new textures as we speak,so there should be some top notch shots being uploaded after I come back.


Stay tuned

I only have the first Halo for PC, too lazy to upgrade to Vista as of yet. I had the beta, though. Didn't really do much for me.

I can't wait to see this game finished. Do you have a website planned for it? If not, considering that you are helping with Gone and I'm helping with Demon Sun, would you like it to be added under the "Games" section of the Inspire! Media site?
