[Rel]Library of Alexandria (Short-story) - Acies - 10-03-2011

Hello everyone!

I have been working on a map namned "Library of Alexandria" for the teamnesia project. I have however decided to release it as a stand-alone project (I'm impatient and just want to get it out there).

Quick info:
Gameplay time: ~ 15 minutes(?)
Scariness: medium (?)
Story: Minimum
Puzzle difficulty: Easy to medium(?)

Features:
  1. 8 new models (more if counting easy ones). Not imported from penumbra.
  2. A new monster. Animated. Rigged. New sounds etc.
  3. ~2700 lines of script on one map. Should have some good scenes.
  4. Voice-acting by me and the user Cryaotic.

Story:
You travel to egypt in order to help your colleague Mr. Walker with an egyptian excavation. As you arrive events start to unfold.

My friends have tested it out a couple of times. I hope there isn't any bugs left. If you do find any please write in the thread. I will also appreciate feedback on gameplay!

Tips while playing:
  • Write down clues to the puzzle on a piece of paper
  • Play when it's dark
  • Have headphones with a good amount of volume
  • Enjoy!

To everyone who plays, and Acies to fix up. He has a line of code in the .hps (79, 1) that needs to be commented out for it to compile correctly without errors.

Uggh I hate puzzles, and trying to figure out where the yellow sun staff is, and figure out whats behind the locked door downstairs is beyond me. Can anyone help?

I had such trouble finding the yellow sun staff that I checked the editor - and I still couldn't find it.

I'm so sorry. Of course I should have tested it on another computer. I will try to fix the staff thing - as it has already ruined your experience :/ Originally it should be super easy to find. I'll look into what it can be. The model files are there, the staff is placed in the map... O.o

I'm installing amnesia in another directory to test it with a fresh install. Lets see what I did wrong.

It appears that the .ent files created for the yellowstaff was referencing to the models\data\viewer directory in which I place my models. This was the original staff and perhaps that is why. I have played through the map and 1.01 should be somewhat stable.

Thanks alot for fixing up the yellow staff. I couldn't find the 2nd playthrough that scary, but I was definitely scared the first time!

Thank you! I wanted to achieve that with the scene - showing some possibilities of what you can create. My next project will be announced soon.
