Caffeine is a quirky science fiction fusion of first person psychological horror, adventure and environmental puzzles. Confused and alone, you start to explore this seemingly derelict space station finding cryptic notes and messages everywhere you look, could these be clues to what has happened?"

Evening all!
I'm excited to show off the content I have been working on this week, which includes a heap of texture and material tweaks, ambient occlusion maps, particle systems and sound tweaks.

I hope that you all enjoy the improvements and please leave a comment with some critique of this level so far.
Thanks for all of your support guys!

The graphics are looking really nice. Seems like it's meant to be a very immersive game and with that in mind, it could be really nice if you added dirt maps to the camera lens (when you look at a light source you see the dirt. Games like Warframe, planetside 2, battlefield all do this).

As for sound, looks like everything is working on queue and has a nice eerie feel. You can tell that the game is well polished from just the soundscape alone.

The spark particles need work, thet are a bit too floaty and too fat.

Other than that it's all looking really good, loving the ambient occlusion too.

Thanks heaps :), yeh i am a massive fan of games that immerse you in their world. I do have a dirt map but I think it needs to be a little stronger aha after some recent tweaks it looks like it is almost invisible :P, Thanks for your input! I will be playing around with the particles now :)
Cheers!

one silly question:

why is it that the kitchen props are sooo big, it seems like the player is a child, his head reaches only just the edge of tables etc. but doors and hallways suggest the player is average sized. i am confused. :D

From the description: "in Caffeine you awaken to find yourself as a young boy on what appears to be some kind of space station or craft seemingly alone." :)
