Some might remember screenshots of a prison I posted a long while ago...
I found that little project again (thought I had lost it) and continued work.

I'm planning to turn this into a short SP level (maybe even a mini-series if I get a nice story together).

(as I know that massassians can't see very well I attached brighter images at the bottom of each screenshot)

This piece doesn't have a story yet, so any ideas are welcome.
(The player wakes up in a cell and zombies wander around in that old building, which is not all prison [there's only this one hall])

Great use of Max Payne textures. It's VERY dark though.

Yeah, the textures do look great, but it's almost too dark to appreciate them.

I agree with that - perhaps in-game the brightness will be different.

If you play in pitch blackness and USE YOUR FIELD LIGHT, it's fine.

But it looks very nice, Elmo. I might download it when finished.

This level has to be played at night or in a darker place.

not only because it's "too dark", but because the atmosphere I'm trying to create there is based on strange sound effects and enemies emerging near you (which is one of the reasons it has to be that dark).

The player doesn't have a field light. Instead he is automatically emitting light (more than usual). That way nobody will complain it's too dark just because he doesn't know that there IS a field light in JK and I don't have to drown the place in batteries.

As you can see on the screenshots you can always see what's near you. (it might just not be too good for showcasing. It's a lot easier to see things ingame, as you can explore the rooms.)

The level is not pitch-black and one get's used to the darkness rather quick.

So stop complaining that it is too dark. I know that!

See? I told you you wouldn't be able to get away from editing MotS. ;]

It looks good so far, and good luck with continued development.

i dig it

It's for JK.
and more screenshots coming soon...

I like the screenshots.

I wonder if you'll be able to maintain the "goodness" for a whole level though ... we can only hope!

I demand you have a dark room with a blinking light which you have to wait to flash in order to see where you're going ... and then LATER in the level you somehow fall back into the room while being chased by flying things, and as you have a pistol and no field light you can only attack while these things are attacking you, and people die of heart attacks across the globe!

... or something like that. Just a blimping light really

you remember my comments last night

Looks good.

...:confused:

Or you just bring the brightness of your monitor to 75% or 80%

in the chat..

ohhhhhhhhhh

You lose at thinking.

Enemies added! (still WIP)

just wanted to show off the zombie enemies you'll probably run into when trying to escape this "scary place" (which begins to look like some abandoned police station).

I still need story ideas! any story ideas?!

About the story... try something along the lines of Silent Hill/Resident Evil.

The zombie enemies..... can you fix the arms, unless they're holding a gun, make them put their arms at their sides.

ahhhh!!!!

nice.

Or "They Hunger" for Half-Life.

HEY, and you wouldn't make a police uniform skin for ME?!

If you need any cogging help, or if you want some new PUPs for those zombies, shoot an e-mail over to grismath aaaaaat gmail.com Maybe they should have terrible aim with a gun.

I gave you the front body, and if you'd look close you'll see that this skin doesn't really have any more than that. The sleeves are just grey with some shadings and on the legs you can see kyle katarn's pants-mats (greyscaled in some parts).




What exactly was the story of "They Hunger"? because that is the thing (I remember I've played a long time ago) that I was inspired by most. I just don't remember what it was about (if it was about something).

They Hunger's story was pretty much just a scientist putting something in the water supply and hey-presto! Half-Life enemy reskins.

Beautiful work.

You and Spiral really need to team up.
