Title: Enviromental/Exploration- Scavenger (Series)
Post by: Strange Darkness on March 12, 2009, 08:16:48
PROJECT STARTS: 10/10/10

Well recently my look on how i will do this level has now completely and utterly changed.
This projected started to an amazing game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R so i decided to create a level which has some 'traits' you could say.
Before when i first started i wanted a rich enviroment and task as the gameplay, but i realised the story is more important so i have now decided to make this text driven!
How ? you may ask well heres how i plan to acomplish this.

Imagine this:
-A picture of a ceiling and lights as the gradient- (hand drawn by me)
Over that i will write a 'story' if you wish ( use a tileset which has letters in it)
The story will be something like this
"As you slowly open your eyelids, light floods in
your eyes refocuse, you stare at the ceiling
- a depressing, grey ceiling stares back at you.
You get up and sit on the bed.
You notice a cabient near you but you also
hear something under the bed."

Then in one corner i will create some invisible tiles as floors
and two shifts, above one it will say "inspect cabient" other one shall
say "look under bed" then just move juni to one option and press down.
This will then shift you to the next screen.

So really the story is actually the gameplay.
All the gradients will be hand drawn by me.
There will be some parts in russian

Part1 : The Grey Room - Size: Small (already written up just have to put into knytt stories)
Part2 : The Village - Size: Medium (not yet started)

This may be hard to understand so tommorow or the day after i will post up a screen of this.

Look for DbPoweramp. Or try (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/Themes/Nifflas/images/english/search.gif)ing.

Anyway, this does look cool, but I was looking forward to Fallout Boy Shelter. T^T

Due to the whole copyright thing, i had to get rid of the music for the intro.

So this is a request for someone on the forum with musical talent to make a tune for me  C)p

Imagine....
You are walking down a street, most of the houses are wreaked, doors just on their hinges, windows smashed, dried blood on walls and gutter's, the street is deserted, their is garbage here and there, washing machines, broken or scorched cars, ahead of you is some sort of market, there is people in rain coats, army colored style, you look up, the sky is dark grey, the people speak in a language you don't understand, Russian maybe, they seemed to be selling guns, weapons, explosives, scraps of metal, in the background you start to hear muffled gun shots, it then rains, its cold....

Can anyone make music that can fit that kind of feeling?

(If someone can, I'll be much appreciated for the help C)p you'll get credited of course)

There is no caves...and there are some mahines but they are not what u think, just think it as based on S.T.A.L.K.E.R (based so its not exactly the same, so this isnt gonna end out like fallout shelter), u have to go collect,find, scavenge and hide

also why did u repeat the words??   X-P

Just noticed in your first post, inspired by a bunch of really great things (STALKER, Fallout 3, Children of Men) but... Babylon AD?! Visually the beginning was good, so I guess that's fair enough to inspire you, but I sincerely hope that the plot will be vastly different!

Anyway, how's this shaping up? Any release date on the horizon?

 XD

its true the movie dissapionted me later on but i love the beginning with the music and him walking through the street with the guns being selled, the rain , the polish/russian/ cezche (i dont think thats how its spelled  :S) republic theme with it.... then... well... the movie was a let down  X)

well its sort of on a stand still because of An Empty Corridor and Earth's Grace as well as the whole 'real world' thing... so this project is on paused untill i finish one of those levels  :)

(also nice new avatar!)

Yeah, the beginning was the best bit! Also, it's spelt 'Czech'!

UPDATE  :shocked:
thats right an update

I've decided i will create this level in Knytt Stories Advanced (it has a few do hikeys that will be helpfull)

and im putting some screen shots up of

Scavenger-Chapter:1 The Bunker
It will start as if your in a virtual world (in this i will make a small tutorial so it is noob friendly as well as demonstrating some KSA features)
then something will disturb you and you will awake in a deserted bunker...

(the bunker tileset is made by JC Grim :])

Will this be a KSA-only level, or are you going to just use a few KSA objects and not rely too heavily on other KSA features?

I wont be relying to heavily on KSA features , dont worry  ;) (few objects doesnt effect gameplay or story)
also i might make a normal version as well for those you have KS

If you're just using some objects, you don't even need to do that. The KSA objects just won't show up. This level looks way cool, keep it up!
