Dilemma - gandalf91 - 04-08-2011
So, I've come to a fork in the road trying to decide something. Basically, I am in college at the moment and have limited time to work on a full blown, in-depth custom story. Also, I'm finally getting acquainted pretty well with the level editor.
Basically I started making a sort of less serious map. I have a few story ideas that explain the setting of the story, but not a full plot. What I intended was basically a large maze, with some interesting script implementations, some scares, some problems to solve, and some monsters to avoid. I had planned on developing something that would take approximately 45 minutes to play.
Since I'm more familiar with the editor and scripting now though, I could go ahead and finish this up and post it. Or I could start working on something more serious right now, and ditch this sort of preliminary project altogether. My question is, would anybody want to play something like this?
(I was also thinking of taking elements of this project and incorporating them into my more serious story.)

I'm in the same situation! I started making a cool map where I could learn everything, but it slowly evolved, and I slowly added to the story. Now I think it's amazing and am just sticking with it. It won't be that long, but it's going to be well made.
Originally, I just wanted to make a new "bigger" story, and somehow incorporate what I had done, but instead I just lengthened this one a bit if that makes sense. I think people enjoy playing a 30 min story if it's well-made.

Flip a coin.

More custom stories, more people hear about Amnesia. Make both.
