Just got a call up from a friend who is currently working on a horror game using the Source engine and SDK. We need a few coders and texture mapping.
Also, if anyone is good with sprites, please help also.
Relevant, I'm the friend. If you think you can directly assist in this, hit me up over AIM. psychosemantik
you're gonna need to give more information than that if you want people to help you
whats the mod about? what kind of gameplay does it have and what are its features???
So far in the discussion we've been talking about using Left 4 Dead's engine to remake an old map we played on ZPS.
It implements team work, skill and a strong gut to get to the next checkpoint
So far we've discussed the following:
This will be a L4D map that will have 4 chapters with 1 finale.
-5th survivor
You have the option of taking a detour to reach the survivor and extracting him/her
Once you extract the survivor you can access the bonus room (usually a store)
In the bonus room, you can restock on medkits, pills or ammo.
In order to access the room, you would need to find the store and have the 5th survivor open it (metal shutters, requires a motor to open it). This triggers a mini finale where you must protect the 5th survivor or else you will not have access to the room.
The 5th survivor cannot use pills (allergic to Asprin) and only receives 35/70 HP recovery from medkits
The 5th survivor can follow voice commands (Z,X,C) and will also shout out events such as Smoker snatches, Hunter pounces, etc
He or she will be armed with 1 pistol, but will not be of much help (still being discussed)
-Riding the Train
The map requires you to get to Central Station and the only way to get there is via Subway
You hop in the train and ride it at full speed
When you are close to Central Station, you realize the brakes are broken and the only way to get to Central Station is to jump onto a stationary train.
This triggers a Resident Evil 4 type cut scene where you need to mash the space bar to jump
If you miss the jump, you will crash into rubble, taking off 25% of your health
The train will cut the power in the entire tunnel
The back up power will turn on the light to central station, but only for 1 minute.
There are no other lights but the 1 at central station so you must get to the light.
Once the light is completely off, survivors will have to rely on teamwork to shine their flashlights in 1 direction to see.
