Triptych - Trailer #1 video

Really great and atmospheric trailer! The wooden house in the snow reminds me a few sequences in "The Worry of Newport" mod you made before Triptych. Then there's that mysterious city with these huge towers dominating the empty and grey landscape all around it. I already said that, but I love the atmosphere you managed to create here. There's something fascinating and eerie at the same time when you see that strange "explosion" and all those weird symbols in the sky. The sequence in the mine/cave reminds me a bit of Amnesia (thanks to the lantern) and I guess it'll be one of the scary moments of the game because that's where you usually discover ancients artifacts/ruins/things that should stay forgotten forever and/or you meet scary things lurking in the dark!

Well, I'm really looking forward to playing Triptych! I'm eager to see the 2 other trailers you've talked about.

By the way, do you plan to add subtitles for non-native english speakers? Although it seems pretty easy to understand what the narrator says, it may be difficult sometimes to get every word when playing the game. That would be a nice addition to the mod in my opinion.

And finally, I don't know if I'm correct, but if the symbols written in theban alphabet at the end of the video really mean "Hadad", does it have something to do with the mesopotamian god of storm and rain?

First off, thank you for the detailed and productive thoughts you've given the trailer, you made me very happy that the details added were not wasted to our audience. I think you will enjoy the Sarconian (ancient civilization) chapter quit a bit. It is quite unique, and uncovering their "doom" is an essential key to things.

The tunnels will indeed be scary, but in what way I won't spoil. We have two horror set pieces of pure creepiness; the tunnels, and the catacombs. The latter will most likely be hinted on the next trailer, due October 10th.

Subtitles are not planned as Crysis is absymal with subtitle and multi-language support. If we could, we would. The script *will* be uploaded upon release though.

You would be correct. Hadad is a central figure in the Triptych mythos, and has a (direct) influence of chains of events. Great detective skills in finding that easter egg so soon.

Ok, thanks for the infos and for the clarification about the subtitles.

I'm glad that I found the right translation of the symbols! :) I just love when you have to pay attention to small details like that and think about it to find out new or hidden elements of a game's background.

Keep up the good work! ;)

I am researching how to improve my post-production cycles and methods to make the next trailer have much more polish and "impact". Fixing brightness is also priority #1.

This is a minimalistic or environmental trailer. The next one is going to be the story trailer, will actually explain what the Triptych is, and have loads of dialog in it. The final trailer is gonna be game play. :)

People know what it's from, it's only advertised on the you tube and moddb pages of this mod itself.
