Amnesia - The Kidnapping, a story about a teenage boy who got drugged and trapped in a museum by his friends. He has to complete a series of tasks to get out. That's the story, that's it! :D My name is Albert and I really enjoy making levels and scripting them, so I decided that when I have free time I'll do this story. The main character of this game is my goofy friend, Richard. I don't really like to do my maps sloppy, but actually try to make them unique and detailed, so this could actually take some time. Also also, English is not my main language so I might be making some mistakes in my notes, but I hope you can forgive me! ;) Ohh, and I'am going to be using all the assets from aamf. Yeah, that's about it for now! I'll keep yall updated!

Amnesia - The Kidnapping

News

So some stuff about the custom story and gameplay.

The game won't have any tinder boxes, just because in my opinion they're useless. Also , in the game there isn't going to be a lantern provided to the player, because I feel like the lantern makes the environment less scarier.

I don't have a deep story written for this project, it's just quick and simple with a little bit of humor. The reason for that is the fact that i'm the only one working on this project and I'am just doing it for fun when there is free time. But just because I'm doing it for fun doesn't mean it will be trash. No. I'll try my best to make the environment look as good as possible. Thing is I'am VERY bad with billboards, like actual trash.

The first map is basically done, sometimes I load it up to do a few check-ups, but it's finished. Right now I'am working on the second map, and I gotta tell you... it's looking pretty good! At least I'am satisfied with it so far. By the way, I have no idea it will take for me to finish this project.

Anyways, if you have any ideas for puzzles or the story, you can share your thoughts down in the comments!

Thank you, goodbye.

Probably the regular ones, because I'am pretty sure that I don't have the programs and skills to make a custom ones :D Well, unless I would steal them from someone, but that's just unprofessional , right? xd

Either write more story for this or invent some puzzles and events for this mod.
I see that you're making this because you enjoy mapping, but unfortunately noone is going to enjoy walking around maps without anything to do.

Speaking of the maps, you need learn basic lighting - your levels are so dark I can barely see anything in them. Even the darkest maps need the tiniest amount of lighting to be playable.
Here's a tutorial if you'd like to learn how:

As I mentioned , I write the story as I progress with the cs, because I ain't no storywriter or anything. So the story wont be that deep anyways...Yeah I enjoy mapping and I go back to the maps I have finished and try to improve them.(mostly on the lighting as you said.) Talking about scripting, I don't really post that much about it here, don't have any reasons for that. Ofcourse I'm trying to make the game atmosferic and no naked guys flying at you. I'll try to come up with clever puzzles and I wont rush anything. Sorry if my grammar was bad or rushed in this response. The reason for that is because I'am going on a road trip with my class. Thank you for the feedback!

Plus in the screenshots the enviorment for some reason looks more dark than it actually is in-game. But I do agree that in some screenshots it looks to damn dark. Ahh, I guess I rushed them :D

The reason for it is that the gamma setting of the game isn't caught in the screenshot. You can change the brightness and contrast of the screenshot manually to better represent how it looks in the game

(Keep in mind that doing this shouldn't substitute good lighting)
