To Penumbra Makers! - Yuhaney - 03-19-2007

I played the Penumbra: Overture Episode One, and I liked it. Awesome game!

But, I got a little idea...
When you finish the game, there would open some little games, like:

Speed Run (Beat maps as fast as you can)

Killing Monsters (You start in a little room, and you can choose weapons (ofcourse Weapons are from the real game) and then you enter the world of madness... Idea is that you just try to Beat Monsters as many as possible in anyway, before they Beat you. The record is saved.)

Basketball (Yeah, that would be nice! Big Grin Just throw something, like Boxes in the basket and make points.)

Games like that, simple and fun. That makes Game-Life longer, at least I think so...

But thanks for reading this anyway! Smile

We came up with some like that too, but I am afraid we did it too late so it will not be in Ep 1. Hopefully ep 2 though Smile

hmm, or maybe in a patch? Wink

Penumbra's physics engine practically begs for "scientific" minigames
Catapult targeting would work too, I guess.
Just create a room with a set of concentric circles, some planks, some rocks, these small paper boxes that lie around in the shelves, and a platform to walk up on. The player would then have to build a catapult setup from the planks, put a box on one end, and drop a rock on the other, trying to hit the center circle Smile

Catapult targeting? Awesome!

Like a mini-Garry's Mod? Except, I really hope that you would include it free of charge...*curses at valve* }:o

Eh, Garry's Mod is worth the 10 bucks anyway...

I really like the idea of a set of mini-games, of course...lifespan would be increased by a significant amount if it is done correctly...maybe a nailgun could be used to create axles, and joints, etc.

Oooh! Mini-Garry's Mod sounds cool! Smile
At this point, it means: Mini-Thomas' Mod! Wink

Please! Make this into next Episodes! Smile

Are you making the Speed Run and other stuff (that we've mention, or something else) into Black Plague? Smile
