I am a mod developer of a large scale project called Otreum (not officially announced yet). I started work on the mod at the end of 2005, starting out with knowing nothing more than making maps in the Source engine, I now do 3d modelling using Maya (characters, props, weapons, animatable objects and environments), music creation using Reason 3.0, concept art done by hand, pencil and brain, and the rest is the rest. I am still learning new things all the time. Otreum will be based on the XRay engine which is the engine being used for the game STALKER which was made by the Ukrainian based developer "GSC gameworld" and published by THQ. The mod will be used with STALKER: Clear Skies since the SP SDK won't be released until after clear skies is. I plan to have my own games development studio within a 10 year time frame. I plan to release my mod in a 2-3 year time frame. If you wish to know about my mod, this is all I can tell you. I won't officially announce the mod until "IT IS DONE".

We're sorry, but no blog posts were found here. Boring yes, but as confucius always said - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

no worries SamG
Cheers for the Add Mate!
hey otreum, just wanted to let you know that the tracks all work again now. Not sure if you've already listened to them or not, but if you haven't, pop on over to the profile Moddb.com
Thanks for showing your interest in our mod! :)
thanks for the heads up. I like what I hear :)
Keep it up mate :)
Thanks for the kind words on the Undertone page, Otreum. I threw you an invite to the group. We'd love to hear some of the music you are creating for your modification and would be happy to include it in the next music pack so you get more publicity.
No worries. I'd like to share my music publically I really would, but i'm choosing to lay low until my mod is finished. It's just the way I want to do media. I'm a one man mod team, so I'd rather be flat chap working on my mod than juggling between PR and mod work. (I can do both easily, but I'd rather have more to show for my mod, sure I have alot, but not enough to really WOW anybody. I believe in showing ingame stuff, so when my mod is finished, THAT is when I will be doing PR and a media campaign which I can solely focus on :)
All I can say is that you'll hear about my mod one day and It's going to be big. I have high hopes, just so long as I stay on track.
hey thanks for the review..
just read it :)
No problem mate, I think you've got plenty of potential there, I think that if you're trying to go for the whole horror thing, watch a crap load of new and old horror movies, even if the flicks are utter crap, you will find that even the worst ones do have their creepy music.
I think that for ambient background music, a good reference is the movie "The Relic" and "Jeepers Creepers" (1 and 2), and even the aliens movies. They use some really spine chilling music and daunting music.
As for the scenes of walking around in an empty street, the music would need a bit of bass and a slow rythm like a heartbeat or walking pace rythm. A bit of mystery with the use of fading low or high pitch strings like the violin really help too.
There is alot to learn with music, but I think the best thing is to just experiment like crazy with the genre you want to do, and when you make the music, keep stopping and closing your eyes to visualize the scene where it would be used or how that music would change in an instant if say a monster attacked suddenly or a horde of zombies came running out of a building after you.
Anyway, I have to reformat my computer (it's too hard to mod when the computer gets a BSOD from doing more than 2 tasks at once :P) so i'll leave you to whatever you're doing.
Keep up the good work, and get that creative energy flowing.
