Rise From Ashes (Full Conversion) - kartanonperuna - 07-13-2012
Rise From Ashes is a small project I'm working on.its going to be pretty short.I'm also still working on Painful shadows 2.Just wanted to do something different.
Anyways heres the thing(still working on the plot):
Its now actual horror instead of stealth(whoo!)

Its about life of a man named Jyrki, whos living in a shelter in Finland.The outside world is now just wasteland.Russia got bombed and so did USA.Of course, this effected every country.Since Finland is very close to Russia,theres absolutely no life in Finland now.Except in the shelters.People in shelters call the surface "the failed world".
The players big brother was a scavenger(Riku) who died recently outside of the shelter,near the entrance.No one knows how.
The player is getting sick of all the hiding.What happened to the brother?He decides to go searching for answers in the shelter in the middle of the night while everyone is asleep.
Yeah.
Heres some screenshots:

Voice actors(so far):
Me

Need more voice actors.
Requirements:
-Finnish accent or similiar to it.
-Good mic.
-Passion.
I'm trying to make good atmosphere.
Exploration.
There are points of interest which players can examine.Some of them tell about the players past.Mostly background story about the place.
Propably full conversion since flashlight is needed by the player.

The story sounds good, but you still might have to work on it.
And actually expand it a lot.
RE: Rise From Ashes - kartanonperuna - 07-13-2012
Yeah I know.Still working on it.

I noticed your fluorescent lights in the ceiling are using 4 billboards per light, and they don't look particularly realistic. I have an easy, and time-saving way to make your lights look many times better, and just using one billboard. Follow these pictures I made up for you, my light style is on the left, yours is on the right for comparison:

As you can see, it's pretty simple! Just one billboard, make sure you use halo_torch, make it very wide but skinny, set it as an axis so it doesn't rotate away from the light as the player moves around it, and click on 'halo'! I hope this helps. I think this simple change could turn your mod from looking great to looking stellar.

Hmm nice.And yeah I got the models from white night.
Hmm i did as you said but the thing is i can still see the billboard trough walls.
EDIT: Hah sorry nevermind forgot to check the "halo".Thanks it DOES look better!
