No horror movie I have seen came even close to getting the same intensity of emotional response from me as Amnesia. Its one thing feeling tense watching someone else experience horror in a movie, but ...

Post: RE: About making my own enemy

I almost certain it is possible. The big limitation is AI and enemy behavior, you wouldn't have any control over that. All the enemies would behave identically other than minor tweaks you can make in ...

He's just too scared. People don't quit out of a game and wipe it off their drive IMMEDIATELY because its boring, they shelve it and come back to it at some other point in time. On the other hand, if ...

Post: RE: What do you think of the game's length?

For the price point and variety of content in Amnesia, the length was just right. The game ends just before things too become repetitive and the player starts to become familiar with various encounte...

I would really like a decent API =) At the moment I use quite a bit of trial and error to understand exactly how some of the internal functions behave.

I've watched a bunch of LPs of that area now and only in one them does the water lurker + red tissue appear. It didn't happen in my playthrough and I can't quite figure out what makes it happen. Maybe...

Found a Let's Play scare compilation, pretty hilarious. Short clips of players crapping their pants, sounds like some of them are on the verge of breaking down into tears. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Yahtzee actually liking, or having anything positive to say about your game is one of the best compliments it can get. Its been what, like a year since he had anything nice to say about a game.

Has anyone tried to get the patch available here to work with the Steam version? I can't see it being that hard.

Post: RE: ATI CROSSFIRE PROBLEM 5770 X 2

Those framefrates sound too low in general, even for 1 GPU on that card. Are you sure you aren't overdoing it on the SSAO samples? At most you only need 16.

Do you guys have any idea when the patch will be up on Steam? I've been refreshing the game's update news page, but nothing as of yet.

@Hionimi: From what I can see, no. It looks like the two different functions just perform a calculation, one I assume optimized for SM2 and one for SM3.

Post: RE: Parallax Occlusion Mapping...

This worked for me, well done. It looks like there is only a minor performance penalty for enabling parallax, none of the big slowdowns/crashes I was getting earlier.
