Marwick Farm -- WIP -- a few screens

[genmills]

Hi guys, some of you have seen me posting on the forums demonstrating my absurd lack of knowledge on scripting, modeling, etc.

So first off, thanks so much to everyone helping! I will probably call on you much more before I finish my story!

Ok, on to the good stuff... Here is a little preview of what's to come in my custom story, Marwick Farm.

Description:

Spoiler below!

You are William Middleton. After the death of your great uncle, Eli Marwick, you have been asked to manage his farm on behalf of your widowed great aunt Elizabeth. You set out for the estate, and after several days of travel, you arrive at a small town. Though it is already evening, you decide to press on and rest once you reach the farm...

Here are just a couple Screenshots. I made the skybox myself as well.

My goal is to create something so fresh, that players won't know what they can and cannot expect, making the game much scarier to play! That's why I am choosing not to reveal too much at this point.

Features:
Large outdoor map(s)
Custom models/Altered models/creative uses of existing models
Intriguing storyline
All original music--composed and professionally recorded by me!

(on an side note, you can check out a lot of my music stuffs at youtube.com/genmills Am I allowed to shamelessly promote myself? )

Voice acting
Fun and creative puzzles
As with any custom story, new scares!
No glitching surfaces! (I hate when those happen. Come on people, just move your objects .001 over! )

And most importantly in my opinion... secrets passages/chambers/compartments! Can't get enough of those! (Don't worry, there really aren't that many haha)

Sorry, that's all for now. I don't have a completion date in mind. It depends on how much time I have. It's probably considerably slower because I am learning everything about this as I go. Honestly, the story seems like it will only be 15-20 mins, but I really want to extend it, so I'm working on that. Another thing I was wondering about is how well people can run the really large outdoor map. I built my computer so that it can basically stand up to anything, so I don't really know how it will do on other ones...

Anyway, I hope this wets your appetites! I will post updates in this thread, and probably the final release as well. I'll try to clearly mark the updates so you know if there is something new.

I'd love to hear any comments/ideas/etc.

Thanks!
