A young man who has recently rebuilt a barn into his home lives alone, and winter's eve is upon him. He will need to survive the harsh winter, whilst discovering his true self in the process.
This is based in the universe of my book, which I have been writing for over 3 years now, and will feature mapping that will make Eternium's and most custom stories look ridiculous.
Features:
High detail
High standard mapping, sleeping
Cooking
Day/night cycles
Sandbox outdoor environments - the size of which has never been seen before in amnesia.
Alright, I'm sure we've all seen someone try and do an outdoor area, obscurity, painful shadows. Usually these areas are flat planes, a few logs in the ground and trees with a skybox. Pretty shit, usually very small.
I plan to change that.
The area for AWE that is outdoors already dwarfs any other outdoor map yet created, yet offers detail and beauty and true landscaping without custom models or terrain, and to that scale. It utilizes custom trees and that's it.
The planned area for this map is about the size of the plains of whiterun, and I will fill this area with kool, beautiful aesthetics and stuff to do. Challenging, yes, but I'd say I'm the best mapper for outdoor areas for Amnesia.
Now, the sheer scale of this outdoor map will push HPL2 to it's limits - maybe even beyond, seriously. I originally tested it with very simple maps that had a plane of about 200x200 size and they worked well, performance wise etc yet I was very unsatisfied with mapping, hence how good it has become. Keeping it up for massive areas will be the challenging part, but it will be worth it.

Deeeead.
when is it comeing out
When it's ready. Once the outdoor environment, cooking scripts and survival aspects are implemented it'll be very easy and simple afterwards, but there will most likely be at least a month of development still left.
This looks great. Tracking :) Best of luck in the future of your Custom Story.
Thanks! I hope that you'll enjoy it when it comes out.
"and will feature mapping that will make Eternium's and most custom stories look ridiculous."
Did you just insult a majority of the mappers around here? ^^
Nope.. just saying I'll outmap them xD
Though a few mods are like ahmagawd (HORIZON :3)
I think it is rude to boast about a mod. We must be humble and learn from others, not be greedy and boast. Just saying. Anyways relay cool outdoor environments. Although it kinda looks repetitive with the rock patterns. But you still have captured a atmosphere, which is the important part.
I wasn't boasting, I was promising, and greedy and boast meant two different things completely. If I say "it'll have alright environments" nobody would give a ****, though a lot of people seem to think that somebody promising to outmap other custom stories is the same as saying they suck. Boasting would be saying "I made this giant ******* arch look at it". I've never done that but people seem to think that me saying I'll outmap most mods as a promise and an expectation they can have is the same as doing that, which it isn't. People need to stop being over sensitive about such things, if I fail, then you can laugh at me, if I succeed, then people won't complain but judging me, and saying it is boasting beforehand? That is the wrong view to take.
Looking good so far! Are you in need of any voice actors?
Not sure quite yet, probably, but I'll say when I need to find one on here so look out for that :)
