Your eyes slowly adjust to the gloom but immediately start to sting. Dust and plaster has fallen down from the ceiling, and you taste it in your dry mouth. Slowly the ceiling lights flicker on as the emergency generator starts up, and people begin to pick themselves up... ...Its August 9th. You've just survived the biggest killer of man in history. In 30 minutes, 3.6 billion people have died across the globe. Unknown to you, the population of the UK has quartered, and will continue to drop. You think briefly of your family before being dragged onto your feet by your platoon sergeant... "Come on son, there's work to be done!" Comes the gruff voice from the dark... but not yet... for now we wait... in the dark...

By -HaloStrike | Thu 2nd Aug, 2007 @ 9:10:27pm My PC is down as it has overheated. One the parts burntout so I am currently replacing it. I did some sound research at the local shooting range and noticed the diffrences between a pistol and a rifle. Which are signifigantly diffrent. I also stood at diffrent angles of the bullets from the side and even behind the targets and sound of a bullet is kind of heard. I also studied the sound of gun fire echoing. The sound can be heard like the wind. It kind of bounces off objects like buildings. Another thing I noticed is the sound of shell casings dropping and the weapon cocking noises are still heard from a distance even from 100 meters. Which if applied to 1985 would help make ways to spot/hear a shooter. Hopefully next time I will try to record some of this stuff. I have a friend who lives in the city (East Palo Alto) with one of the highest murder rate in California where shell casing from small arms is a plenty. I might borrow some to make new shell dropping sounds instead of using default HL2's. =) At the end of research I noticed what alot of shooting games have unrealistic sounds. I dont want 1985 to be one of them, so I will do my best. Coyote Point, being a tiny forest. Had skunks. Two chased me and I ran my ass off. So I was almost killed during research. =P This range is near my home, which means I can still hear the gunfire. So I will be visiting there often. I hope you guys enjoyed my tiny update! See you all around! --- Where: Coyote Point Sheriff Gun Range Edited by: HaloStrike |
