Abduction Ch. 2 (Progress Thread)

[Anxt]

Hello again everyone!

Chapter 2 of my custom story Abduction is currently in production, however I have been asked many times how it is coming along, so I figured I would make a thread for it so people can see how it is going.

Currently looking for: No more beta testers at the moment, but keep an eye out.

Please contact me via PM if you are interested in testing parts of Ch. 2 for me, but please understand that to play it and not provide good feedback does me no good. If you are interested in testing and will provide constructive feedback, information on bugs, puzzles, atmosphere, etc., then I will be happy to provide a link to the download.

Progress:

Hard to really put a percentage on it, but I think I am somewhat less than halfway done at this point. Many things have interrupted my work on it, so it isn't coming along as quickly as I had hoped, but oh well.

--UPDATE 4/18--

Almost finished with the map which will serve as the penultimate area. Chapter 2 will not be as long as chapter 1, but will contain vastly more story elements and will hopefully deliver a satisfying ending. Next beta testing phase will begin soon.

--UPDATE 4/24--

All maps have been constructed. Minor details need to be added, and maybe a few more scares as the levels I have now are a bit tame, but expect to see a full release of Chapter 2 by the end of the month, assuming I can find time to add in all the necessary details.

Screenshots from what is made so far:

I will update this thread when there is something new to report. I appreciate the positive feedback I got from the first chapter, and I hope I can retain it through chapter 2 as well.

You should have seen the wicked smile that grew upon my lips when I saw this thread.

Good luck in development!

Thank you, good sir. I promise to have this chapter thoroughly tested before releasing it to the public to avoid the humiliation that the first one caused

Oh man... count me in.

Omg. I was like ... O.O :X:X when I saw this thread. Wish you only luck on this project. Ima playin it right when it comes out.

P.S : I saw that you needed beta testers. Count me in.

[Glouki]

I've loved the chapter one... I'm so happy to see you continue the developement...

And if you need a beta tester, count me in.

How in the world did you make those caves? :o

[DominusVita]

Well, without spoilers, I can safely say it's looking in good shape so far. It's as dark and creepy as the first. :p

Streetboat:

Don't try it. It's not worth it. The map cache file is 220 MB. I am strongly considering removing that map because it's just too big. It was a great idea, but it just didn't work very efficiently.

I used a LOT of static objects, specifically the brown rock. Lots and lots and lots.

I'll see how it works through beta though, and see what people think I should do with it.
