Looking pretty cool HyeMyNameIs! You gave me a few scares in there. Am I able to get further than the metal corridor yet, or is that as far as it goes for now? It would be pretty cool if you could dynamically load in a final section based on what the player does throughout the previous sections.

Your approach actually reminds me a lot of a Doom 3 level I made a few years ago:
Skip to the 2:40 mark, I pull the same kind of dirty tricks on the player that you do :P

The 4th Section is currently being developed and will have multiple endings depending on how the player reacts to the lights.

You could say the 4th section is "Trigger Happy."
Glad it gave you a few freights and thanks for the link.

So I can get as far as just past the point where the voice says, 'Follow me'....  then it's completely dark accept for very intermittent light flashes. It seems to be impossible to navigate beyond this point. Is that correct?  How (and where), do you define 'sections'  Just curious if this is a lot bigger and I"m simply stuck, or if I've navigated to the end of where you are currently working.

Overall quite effective though. Nice work.  :)

The 4th section (Follow Me) is not complete yet, I am developing right now.  So you are correct, that is where I am currently working (you're not stuck ha-ha).  There will be multiple endings to the 4th section.

Sections are entry ways, you will/should notice that the environment has changed from one area to the next.  If that is not apparent please tell me so I can use lighting or some other aspect to make the flow better.

Also, 2nd Section will be modified as well.

Update - Outlining 4th Section
« Reply #21 on: October 10, 2012, 02:42:42 PM »
I am continuing development on the 4th Section. I have an outline of how one of the endings will be and have started the development. If you would like to try it out, at the end, walk into the Red light.

I am planning on having at least two (2) more endings, one if you go into the white light and one if you walk backwards even at the slightest press of the "S" key will trigger an alternate ending.

Game Title (WIP): "Pleasant Dreams"

Since I started developing this game, I would outline what makes people afraid, phobias and what would their nightmares would consist of.

I am trying my best to play with people's minds at every corner and every section.

I am still working on the game and development is nearly completed.

Let me know if you like the title.

Well I finally finished my Graduate program.... (Enough of that).

I am back to work finishing developing my game. I really do enjoy doing this and will most likely continue to develop.

I am also drawing up an outline of my next mini horror game (more details coming soon). I really enjoy developing horror/suspense games.

Things To Do:

- Simplify Section 4
- Add Model to Section 2
