So we have settled on what kind of personal light source to use for the mod. We knew we didn't want to use the lantern because it just didn't fit. I saw where they had converted the Penumbra flashlight to Amnesia, so I started to import it in. It seemed more modern. However, I then thought about what would be logical. What would this guy have to help him see in the darkness? Well, I settled on a gold zippo lighter.
I have already made the game noticeably darker. Your night vision from the original Amnesia game has been lowered by about 90% and I have made the game darker all around. So a lighter, while not giving off as much light as a lantern or flashlight, is going to feel much more important due to the darkness changes.
Some of the features of the lighter:
- Has a cool flicker effect to mimic a real lighter.
- Is run off of lighter fluid. An idea is to never have it run out, but that will give players a sense of safety.
- Could potentially flicker out if sprinting while lit.
- Gives off less overall light than the lantern. Also casts nice shadows.
Once I am happy with the model and lighting I will upload a video showing it off. We think the lighting looks pretty neat.
sounds nice. I didn't think that you can grow the atmosphere THAT much. :D
I'm really looking forward to this mod!
