Story:
My name is Jake Johansson. I was a normal person. In the year 1845, when I had 23 years, my best friend betrayed me and stole my girlfriend. In a fit of rage I killed my friend. Surprised of what I did, I ran into the woods, just thinking about what could happen to me. Police pursued me, when I saw something strange...

Screenshots:

The otherworld story and mechanics:
Spoiler below!

STORY
After you kill your best friend, you run into the woods. The police chases you, and you arrive in a weird place. Everything seems more quiet, and you can see something weird.
It's a portal.
You enter, and, when you are in The Otherworld, you see that the portal back earth has dissapeared. You walk and explore and you find an ancient ruins. You enter, and, after exploring, someone speaks you. He says that he is from the otherworld, and, that if you do what they say, they will open you a portal back home. That can be made by going to other worlds and recollecting orb pieces.
But... are they trustable? Are they tricking you? Do they lie you? And the most imporant: Will it you survive?

MECHANICS

The otherworld will be a completely innovative CS that will open new fears to the player, and that will have a lot of custom assets.
You will have to travel to different worlds in order to accomplish your objective. It's too a research of what can be done with the HPL engine, and what can be done with creativity.
There will be new enemies never seen before... do you have what it takes to survive to them?



I will upload more screenies as soon as I can show more for you.

Hey, that premise sounds pretty interesting.

On the other hand though, I think the second screenshot is too blue. Nighttime has a blue tint true, but not that much.

RE: The otherworld - The chaser - 09-05-2012

Well, it was for the people to see the shadows, because there is a moon. In the demo I will decrease the blue.

RE: The otherworld - The chaser - 09-08-2012

Ok, The otherworld has a page in moddb. I will upload screenshots of my models in there.

Sounds interesting! I'll say what I say about most Custom stories I've seen so far, though: Please, find a native speaker to help you with the english texts. It's always such a shame to see a good story and atmosphere get diminished by weird grammar and clunky translations. Smile (Don't worry, it's not that bad - I've seen much worse than yours, but still...there's room for improvement!)

Custom models look nice, too, seems like you suceeded with your lava, eh? And Blender monkey with fangs made me chuckle ^^ As for the screenshots, I don't know much about the editor, but would it be possible to increase the texture tiling on the big rock in the first screenshot? The texture resolution on it is far too low, especially compared to the ground. (which could use a little lower tiling in my opinion...)

RE: The otherworld - The chaser - 09-09-2012

Ok, hirnwirbel. The rock... I'll see what I can do. Sorry for the english, it isn't my first language. Actually there is another model, but it is a scare, so I only share it with beta testers. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Added 1 new music and a special monster scream sound.

RE: The otherworld - The chaser - 09-09-2012

Images of a lava-level are uploaded!
If you have any tip please tell me!

Hey, no big thing, it's not my first language either Smile

And yes, don't even think about revealing your custom scare/ monster, that would ruin the surprise! Wink

Concerning the lava screenshots - you could try and put some yellow lights around the lava fall so it looks like it's shining light onto the rock. Also those two rocks...seen from that angle... look at bit like someone is shitting lava... But that's probably just because I'm tired and seeing weird things right now xD

Yea, I already thinked that. Lighting is very important, specially in this occasion. Shitting lava... Big Grin something weird...
Anyway, this is just the basic map. I'm making a lot of landscapes with blender and I can tell you that it is a pain in the a** Dodgy . Precisely, talking about a**es, that image... didn't notice it. Perhaps someone uses that for a stupid Pew***Pie map.

Currently working in the level
Spoiler below!
In this level almost everything is custom.
