Darkness is a linear (with optional side-quests) first-person Horror Adventure game. Six people over the prior month have gone missing from a hotel. You, a hired detective, have been brought in to investigate. Only problem is, this investigation will be a bit more than you bargained for. The setting is in the early 1920s. World War 1 just ended, prohibition just got added as the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The world is in a frenzy and you're at the thick of it, dealing with possibly one of the most unique cases you've ever had. Will you - Can you survive the darkness?
Just a video demoing the gameplay of Darkness. Any and all feedback/criticisms are heavily recommended. What do you all think works and doesn't work?
Wow.. great atmosphere. I currently can't post anything constructive, I'm too impressed, and I'm tired and ehm.. hopefully I'll post more tomorrow if I don't forget it. But yeah, wow!
Thanks! Development is going at a steady pace.
looks really interesting, nice job! At first i wasnt exatcly sure what style you guys were going for, didnt really expect this, but thats not bad at all, looks great!
Definitely liking what you've got so far...loving the atmosphere and art style of the level :) only thing that I'm kinda "eh" about is the character...just seems like a cardboard cut-out or something with no life about him...though I understand everything is still WIP, of course. I don't know; if you stuck with the silhouette-player idea, some more animation or other characterization would be lovely.
Yeah, haven't gotten around to the character model yet. So I made a quick little vector silhouette and am using that as a placeholder until I can get the model done.
Wow, it's looking really really good, the only thing I would recommend is to tweak lighting a little bit, because as it stands now, character is oftenly merged with shadows, which looks odd... Definitely tracking!
i love the style u guys have gone for
but instead of side scrolling try first or third person
just a suggestion so dont get mad if u dont like it
