RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - Statyk - 05-01-2013
I'm curious. Considering the game is intending on removing the inventory, this leads me to believe the interaction of items (like picking up a box) is the main feature. Have you changed the interaction system at all to make picking up things and moving them more "enjoyable" and easier? or is it the same as TDD?

You'd be surprised just how frightening and desperate a big open area can be. Just remember, if you can see them....

Can we pre-order the game later?
Don't know - that's a production/FG thing

Yes and No. We're not going to make this easy for you. You don't want that do you? This ain't Resident Evil... this is proper horror.
RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - Zgroktar - 05-01-2013
What about NPCs? Will there be fully programmed NPCs that can be interacted with? Not something like Agrippa in Amnesia or Red in Penumbra, but something much more developed? Will we see something like random characters walking through the street or something like that?
RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - Randomguy9900 - 05-01-2013
What's the story on custom story implementation?

It's built in HPL2, so should be. There's a fair bit of custom stuff in there though, so it might be tricky at first.

Depends on how long you spend hiding and/or being mutilated really. I think we clock our playthroughs at a run, knowing the game really well, etc, at around 4-4 1/2 hours, so I think you're probably looking at 5-6.
RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - Randomguy9900 - 05-01-2013
Fun one: What's the best reaction you've gotten out of a designer play testing the game?

Yeah, we share FG's hatred of trial and error. But I always thought they were kind of soft on players at times as well. I actually considered disabling the save key at one point, so if you screwed up, it was right back to the beginning, make it really count. Love permadeath. Love DayZ. Bit of a psycho like that.
RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - bluel0bster - 05-01-2013
Are we going to see the same "safe hubs" that were present in tdd? Is the level design in "machines" at all similar to this formula, with danger-filled levels surrounding these hubs?

You can expect a deep, dark and twisted story with many layers of horror, confusion, lies and madness. We want a game that isn't just scary to play, but one that gets into your head and fucks with you for nightmares to come.
RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - Newsman Waterpaper - 05-01-2013
Is there alot more to explode in this game then TDD?
