Looks darn nice , but I suggest to even use less lights if you want to make a really scary game. If the mod would end up like something Afraid of Monsters , then it would be golden... meaning full darkness and such (although I don't know how source engine will handle that , I don't know which or what version supports dynamic lighting)

Thanks

Yeah I'm going to tone it down when it gets into it but this part of the map is going to be before you find the flashlight.
I'm going to PM with some questions I'm stuck with aswell

Been working on the mapping some more.
Got the second room kind of finished.
Next room is a warehouse. Got the outline which you'll see in the video but it's going to be a lot taller.

What do you guys think?
Youtube might've messed with the quality/brightness.

It looks nice

this part of the map is going to be before you find the flashlight.

That explains the lights

Source dynamic lighting (env_projectedtexture) is supported only one per map, and since the flashlight (also env_projectedtexture) is used by the player its recommended to only use it in the darkest places where the players light is either gone or broken. However, Gmod does support multiple env_projectedtextures, the Lamp tool is an example of this. Maybe you can try and copy or remake the code that creates support for that.

Well , it would be quite impossible for me to code outside of gmod due to the fact the source engine itself doesn't support .lua. and I only can code that.

Yeah you're right about the dynamic lighting. You'd be able to see the shadows from the lights on the beam of the torch as well no matter where you look. Its really bugged.

UPDATE #2:

Done some more mapping, I've nearly finished the warehouse. I built a staircase up to a second floor which overlooks the warehouse.

I still need to decorate and furnish the office but its base is there. That's where the door key will be.

This is taking me a long time to map because I'm so picky. I spend a lot of time decorating each room and I play test it multiple times

to make sure I like it enough. I also made a youtube channel for the mod! Here I can upload the progress and trailers etc.

I advise you subscribe if you want to keep up to date with the mods progress. I'll be uploading these progress videos on there

from now on. I'm also going to make a moddb page tomorrow. I need to get some people to help out, especially coding, mapping and modelling.

I think I'm going to try and make a team with a name etc, if your interested let me know!

Here's the mod's youtube channel:

And if you have any ideas for scares or anything send me a PM

I could send you a picture of the first maps floor plan drawing if you like.

Have you got any examples of your work?
Would be awesome to have a few tracks for the mod.
Especially for the trailer(s)

These are pretty old ;D And i can do bit better now :=)
But you got the idea

peachvomit · Oct 10th 2012, 7:17pm

From someone who doesn't know anything about... anything... or well, about making games with programs. So I dunno... it looks cool. Did you plan to make so you use weapons in this? ...I'm too lazy to go thru' all the posts. lol.

Awesome stuff bro

Can you do ambience sort of stuff too?
I think having music in the game play would break the tension.
Some ambience would add to the creepiness

But would also be great if you could make a creepy but subtle sort of soundtrack for the trailer man!

Yeah, there's currently just a crowbar but I plan on changing that to a wrench and there's also going to be a pistol. So kind of similar to grey and CoF.
More weapons just makes it a shooter really.

HurriKanessi · Oct 10th 2012, 11:51pm

Sure!
i can do ambient too :=)

And about the intro "song" how long it will be?

'TisBen · Oct 10th 2012, 11:53pm

If you need a voice actor, hit me up. :)

Sweet

Add me on Steam so we can talk more in depth?
Steam: Krimboo

Will do man

What sort've voice have you got?

'TisBen · Oct 11th 2012, 1:10am

Don't judge me immediately, but I'm 14. BUT, I don't sound like an 8 year old. So, if you need a younger role between 16 and 18, I might be able to fit the part. So, yeah, if you wanna sample, I can give you one. :)

KrimboPlays · Oct 11th 2012, 1:22am

TisBen: Alright man but it won't be for a while anyway

UPDATE #3:

Carried on with the mapping. I've finished the floor plan drawing of the first map so I just need to build it now.

We're also now on ModDB! Please follow/watch the mod if you have an account to help us find a programmer and a modeller for the

project! Check the link below! I've also decided I'm going to retexture the entire map so far. It's too clean

and clinical for my liking. I think it needs to be darker and grittier to bring more horror to the mod. I'm kind of thinking

about changing the setting to match, I'm not sure.

Here's a like to the ModDB!

Great! If you need my Steam or anything, lemme know. :)
