Atlantia is a full conversion mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It will focus on exploring a breathtaking environment, and immersing the player in a rich storyline, filled with adventure, puzzles, exploration, and discovery. Using many custom made textures, entities, and models, Atlantia will focus on delivering the player an experience unlike any other created for Amnesia so far.

We are currently seeking team members. Looking for detail oriented people who are at least somewhat experienced with using the HPL2 editors and believe that a deep story and atmosphere is the most important aspect of a mod, and believe that the details matter. Looking for people who want to innovate and do things that haven't yet been done in Amnesia mods previously. If you are interested please PM me for details.

Updates
UPDATE : Aug. 13th - Atlantia is announced.
UPDATE : Aug. 14th - Underwater gameplay is working! Just need to touch it up a bit, and figure out how to disable gravity so the player isn't just walking underwater. Also completed a lot of mapping for the first area. (about 60%) Added some screenshots.
UPDATE : Aug. 15th - Mapping is done for the first area. Just need to spice things up and add details. Taking a break from that to create some custom models. Progress will be slower from now on, classes started back up today.
UPDATE : Aug. 24th - Taking some time off of mapping and working on some custom models! Will post some screens soonish
UPDATE : Sep 8th - I have learned a lot making some simple custom models, and am now going to start working on some models for Atlantia. If you'd like to see what I've completed, or download them yourself, check out this thread. http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-10208.html

Amazing project. Too bad that you were forced to announce it like this. I know that sucks.

[Rapture]

Man that first picture is really amazing, except for that waterfall! Take it out!

[Oddity007]

That blueness is love on first sight. Is it single?

Screens are impressive, as you said this will be quite the undertaking but when finished will easily be one of the best custom stories for Amnesia. I know you will bring the same magic you showed in The Estate when giving life to this breathtaking underwater civilization.

Good luck Selyp

Those pics look really great. Can't wait to try this one out. The Idea and story also sound pretty great. Luck to it.

I know this is going to be a huge undertaking, but I am working on getting some underwater gameplay added in

Actually, someone already made an underwater function for amnesia:

Yes, I saw that, which is why I decided to include underwater gameplay after all

Originally, I was just going to have the player start out coming out of the water into a small cave, but now I can have the player start out by finding the cave and then coming out of the water.

Also working on getting the flashlight to slowly recharge when not used, since its pretty unrealistic if there were batteries laying around everywhere in an underwater city.

BTW, has anyone successfully imported the glowstick from Penumbra?

Sorry, but I got an urge to help you make the script where the flashlight power slowly recharges when it's not being used.

An example for using a lantern that recharges when not in use (I don't know the differences between the lantern and flashlight scripting-wise ) :

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
     Check01();
}
void Check01()
{
     AddTimer("", 1, "Check02");
}
void Check02(string &in asTimer)
{
     if (GetLanternActive() == false)
     {
           if (GetPlayerLampOil() == 100)
          {
               Check01();
          }
          else
          {
               AddPlayerLampOil(0.3);
               Check01();
          }
     }
     else
     {
          Check01();
     }
}

I hope I did this right and that you'll be able to use this correctly.
