White Night - Total Conversion v1.1

[Tanshaydar]

Of course it's not a childish question. Since no one expect Lee played White Night so far, it's not that possible to say 'great story' or 'good mod'. If people really like it after playing this, I might have a few things to say about development process, but for now, all I can say are these:

• Decide what you want to do, and unless something extreme occurs, stay loyal to that decision.
  
• Decide what kind of atmosphere you want to create, what kind of feeling you want to taste from playing it.
  
• Decide a gameplay. Puzzle based? Survival? Horror? Story-oriented? Stick to it and do not stray too much, only to prevent gameplay to become boring. For example WN is story-oriented, however it has its puzzles and monster sequences too (they are all relevant to story of course, but that's another topic).
  
• Read, watch, play the products that are similar to what you are trying. Take notes if needed. Of course it is always good to bring a fresh breath to new products.
  

For lightning. Player will find it frustrating if it's too dark. It will not have a scary look if it's too bright. However, it always depends on what feeling you want to give. Daylight often tends to give a feeling of relaxation. Low light is contrary.
Shadows give a realistic and authentic feeling to scene; however if used too much, they will lead to performance issues. There are lots of things to discuss; and lots of other things that are only my opinion and open to discuss; however, as I said, it would be best to wait and see what kind of reaction WN will get.
