You'd think so, but no.

[Angusm3]

I thought you said you had one already

[agentaaa]

no, I said I'd STARTED one already.

[Nut_Column]

Well, get to FINISHING IT! BUDDY!

[devilslayer]

im working on mine, can first and second get prizes 4 and 5 if no one else enters?

[devilslayer]

ooc: sry bout the double post.

legend:
red people=nightmare creature
blue people=normal zombie
green people=ghoul/ghost

footprints=you

[Nut_Column]

Good Ideas, but it's extremely Linear. It's basically "GO DOWN HALLWAY, GET SCARED! GO DOWN ANOTHER HALLWAY, GET SCARED." There's no room for exploration.

[devilslayer]

ok thx

[Angusm3]

that's actually pretty challenging stuff you thought up. The mirror is currently impossible though because I have no character models and I have no intention of adding them.

everything else will require lots of scripting so that should keep me occupied (after I get home and complete the level hub that is)

oh and, congratulations Nut_column for winning a single game pick for the month of August. Read the top post for the new rules I have decided on

[Nut_Column]

I chose DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION! What? That's not one of the choices? *grumble grumble* I guess I choose... Dragon Age?

[devilslayer]

do i get a game?

suck about the mirror.

[Nut_Column]

NO YOU POSTED AFTER THE END OF THE MONTH! I GET YOUR GAME! YOUR GAME IS FAR CRY 2!

[devilslayer]

why is agent ahead of me?

[Nut_Column]

Because he hasn't updated.

I would put another post saying "Really, you had to make a whole 'nother post saying 'Okay?'" but then I would be a victim of Hypocrisy.

[devilslayer]

okay.

[Quantum Rain]

Hmmm. I wasn't 100% of what it is you're looking for, so I went generic as to be easily modifiable.

Floorplan 1

Due to text and size limitations, I'll explain some more details...

• For the super zombie, have a cutscene introducing him, a chainsaw guy would be cool, but cliched, so some heavy-set zombie would be good.
  
• For the greenhouse, place the zombies behind the trees, as well as the bodies. Make the player think he's safe when he actually isn't.
  
• For the first zombie attack, a cutscene would be cool too, but not necessary.
  
• For loot, ammo, a few guns, and a healthpack would be great...and needed. Higher difficulty = less loot.
  
• For the second zombie attack, right after it, make the super zombie yell out or something, a small cutscene like that coming from further down the way would be great for aesthetics.
  

It should offer a decent ability to explore, while adding in a mini-boss and some possible background to the story if utilized right in my opinion.

Then again, tis a free floor planner, I couldn't really go into too much detail...


I shall see to getting a better floor planner and making a much more detailed, multi-level, and hopefully more capable of larger exploration while setting up the entire aesthetics of the circumstances the main character finds himself in.

[Angusm3]

Devilslayer is in the lead for this month

Remember, Level scores compound so if you make another map you get another scoreset for more points

Nut_Column is still in the lead overall however

[agentaaa]

I'll give you my level when you come over already...

[Nut_Column]

So if nobody posts anything else on this for the month, who would win, me or Devil?

[Quantum Rain]

Having only used this floor planner recently, I'm not 100% affiliated with the features.

I can say I went over-the-top with the size on the first floor...

http://floorplanner.com/projects/21746243-scare-plan-1/

(Hopefully that link works.) (Don't ever expect me to use grids and exact measurements... I hardly ever do...)

(I say zombies because I am not sure what exact enemies the player may be facing... Regardless, zombies may be replaced with other entities.)

[devilslayer]

zombies, are weel, zombies
ghoul are spirits that appear to frighten you randomely
and night mares are powerful enemies

[Quantum Rain]

Well, now that I know it's actually mutants, (Silly me for not reading...), I'll make sure to include NPC ideas into my maps for additional help.

I will begin working on another map for this reason, and hopefully, it's even better than the last. If not, then I'll try again.

[Nut_Column]

Hey! How Come I don't get extra Points for Multiple Floors? I worked hard on all those floors!

[devilslayer]

ill post a new map soon.

i am having trouble with floor planner though, i cant have more than one project it seems.

[Angusm3]
