    • ~Amnesia Mappers and Scripters - READ THIS~

      Hey everyone, I am currently working on a new custom map House of Horror! This is a fun custom story, somewhat like Lost the Lights, or Killing in Alstadt, with somewhat of a storyline. I may need some scripting and mapping help, so please, if you wish to help me, post below what you can suggest :thumbsup:

      Thanks bros! I hope Pewds can play it!

    • Try to make it not too confusing yet not too easy. Not too many heart attack moments but nothing unexpected. Make sure stephano is always there to be picked up. Make it a creepy atmosphere at times where the game is dangerous. Have sounds about every 3-5 minutes to creep people out. Once you've done all this make sure it has been tested fully. A good story line tends to have a plot twist somewhere late in the map, maybe the player realizes he has to sacrifice something (a person etc.), the player has to be blown up to prevent the infection that makes the grunts from spreading to the rest of the world etc.

      Hope this helps you can completely ignore all of my advice if you wish but I'm just telling you what type of custom story I'd want.

    • A very important thing with Amnesia mapping/modding is that you better be good managing with all the tools.
      If you are a newbie wanting to make a custom map, try playing around and learning the mapeditor.
      Scripting is another story where you maybe can learn the basics of and then try to ask people, ask Kneesocks says Flamez is a good modder and could help you, but not trying yourself on the coding and just wanting help - thats wrong in my opinion.

      But good luck in your future endeavors.

    • Thanks everyone for the suggestions! IF you want to help me, add me on skype, my skype name is Speedrod99.

      I have great mapping experience and average scripting experience. Flamez3 and I have chatted, and if you really want to help me make le custom story, GREAT!

      If you just want to suggest some more ideas, I am fine with that too :)

      Thanks for posting :thumbsup:

    • After making 3 custom stories , I'm a good mapper and good scripter , but I don't think i'm able to help in this time.

      Try to put some new textures , it's always a good way to advertise your custom story because people love new stuff.
      Try to avoid many key puzzles , it always getting bored.
      Try to reduce the puzzles and the map size (when you need an object and you need to go 2000 miles far away, it's very annoying).
      Make an original story (like all the custom stories , try to avoid the intro where you woke up in a bedroom) I made for example a time travelling machine :).
      If you want to put lights , you need to make a very good lightning who's in link with the map ambience, and unlight some lamps, amnesia need to be dark :).
      Try to make a very complex mapping , but it must be beautiful designed (the mapping is very important , so you need to concentrate about it).
      Put music ambience .

      Now levels ideas:
      flood map
      cold map (it might be a castle , but something cold)

      And... Ideas are gone :(
      Awesome signature is awesome.

    • Well, if you have any thoughts on the map, or you wanna help me and dayley map and code, message me bro!

      We could really use some people with modeling skills to make our new custom monster. We got tons of ambience noises, we just need a new creepy creature to help add the scare factor, and more mappers. IF you decide to help, you will be credited in the end of the story. It's kinda a community thing. And if Pewds plays, he will know that we made the story :D

    • Thanks for tellin me the name has been used! I will create a poll for people to choose what the title is. Suggest titles below!

      And yes, you can help with voice acting! We may need some screams, laughter, and other twisted and wicked noises. Thanks!

    • No problem, if you want to help, just add me on skype, tell me what you want to help us on, and I will allow you. Remember, we are doing this as a group effort. This means, we will put this on ModDB, and FG Forums, and we will get people to do let's plays on it.

    • If anyone else wants to help participate, please hurry and post! We need lots more bros to help us, from voice acting (Infernal is helping), to map making, scripting, and modeling. Please post back if you even have just ideas you would like to share. They will be implemented into the story!
