Simulacrum

Fri, 20 Jul 2018 06:24:09 +0000

The desert is home to a handful of villages whose ancestry reaches back centuries. All of them surround a mythologically celebrated ancient stronghold that stands drilling water from a deep-seated aquifer to support the nearby settlements.

There is a presence there, perpetuated only by black magic.

Rand Bousaid, a monk from one of the few cloisters atop the plateau, is roused by recurring dreams of a hellish scourge laying waste to everything, always shown with a looming acropolis in the background. One night he packs his belongings, leaves a letter of notice to the Abbot, and sets out to find the place he so vividly recalls.

View the Trailer

Make sure that resources.cfg and DevIL.dll go in your main Amnesia folder, and that the Simulacrum folder goes in \custom_stories\

DevIL.dll is required for users running Amnesia 1.3.1 to render skyboxes properly.

The custom resources.cfg is optional but recommended in order to use the custom spotlight lantern.

(I also highly recommend playing it with Stayd's Enhanced Shaders for Amnesia.)

SOMA Lab Assets Pack for Amnesia

Tue, 06 Feb 2018 07:56:27 +0000

Hey everyone,

As my only contribution for the HPL2 modding community, I'm porting the Labs assets from SOMA to Amnesia. It's a nice assets pack and it's not that hard to use (compared to other assets from SOMA).

What does the pack include:

Lab static objects (walls, welders, ceiling, etc)
Some lamps
Some chairs
Working slidedoors
I'm still updating this pack, make sure to report any bugs if you find any.

If anyone wants to help me with porting/fixing bugs, it will be very appreciated!

What's still needed to be done:

Fix some materials
Add more lamp versions with different colors
Port more furniture
Port some sounds
Add crush death script for the slidedoors + fix closing sound bug

Non Omnis Moriar - A Machine for Pigs custom campaign

Wed, 11 Oct 2017 22:58:48 +0000

A Machine for Pigs custom mod (the only one in existence as of my knowledge) i released a while back but forgot to share, so most people might have missed it since it's not listed under TDD mods, and it'd be meaningless to create a new category on the forums for one release. Here it is now if anyone would be interested! Machine for Pigs installation is needed to play the campaign. Instructions in the download and on the modpage.

PLEASE WRITE COMMENTS ON THE MODPAGE, since i check that more often.

//And through my work, i will always be remembered, and my existence remains eternal. Non Omnis Moriar.//

My custom story like project for AMFP, a visulization of what i think the Machine for Pigs' gameplay should have been. It continues the original game's events in a parallel timeline as a detective's case story. The mod was first released in September 2015, 2 years after the release of the original game. It keeps the atmosphere of the base game, but focuses more on terror, restores interactions and brings back harder puzzles and the challenge the original game lacked a bit. I'm aware i re-used some structures from the original developer maps, but the thing is intentional, the main point of this mod is to give a picture how i imagined this sequel to TDD could be any better.

SDP [RELEASED]

Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:13:48 +0000

EDIT: The mod is released, download it from ModDb (click on the image):

The mod is soon to be released.

Plot premise:
Ethan Roscoe sets sail for the desolate Madden Island - the new home of his cult-fanatic twin brother, Clyde. He hasn't given a sign of life for way too long, so Ethan decides to pay him a visit.

This mod features:
-Plenty of new assets
-Original music made specially for this CS
-New potions
-Photos as part of gameplay
-Enhanced, yet simplistic crafting system
-Tinderboxes getting back a crucial gameplay role
-Never seen before, subtle hint system
-Levels which are actually relevant to the story
-Rarely featured environments, such as sea, coasts, mountain woods and lakes

This mod does NOT feature:
-Poorly lit maps;
-Annoying sanity drain;
-An excuse of a story with no clear purpose;
-Poofing monsters coming out of closets;
-Teleporting naked guys shoving themselves at your screen;
-Teleporting-behind-you knight armours;
-You know what, no teleporting at all;
-Any other cringeworthy jumpscares either;
-Areas as plain as a pizza with no topping;
-Reading books (I mean, come on, my last mod had notes that were three-pages long);
-Rare monster encounters (Previously there were only three over the course of the three-hours-long mod)

Complete Spanish dub for Amnesia & Justine

Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:06:29 +0000

Good evening. I'm here to present you guys an non-official European Spanish retranslation & dubbing mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Justine expansion, presented to you by Rodol Pérez and myself, Víctor González.

This project started in the late 2015 as the final dissertation for Rodol, a translation student that wanted to do a full localisation of those games. The official translation is decent, but we think it can be much, much better.

He enlisted the help of 17 fellow voice actors from Spain to achieve a full dub, and presented the "first" version in September 2016, achieving a very high grade. After that, I've been remixing the voices and finding out the final details that were needed to make this a polished product.

CAST:

Many Hands started over 4 years ago with a post by Psyched "Many hands is an idea which gets the whole community involved within a project to bring everyone's mapping talents into 1 single map. The main idea is '1 Map, 1 Community, 1000 Ideas'." Since then, there have been three versions, with a total of seventeen contributors. This project has been a fabulous opportunity to work with some seriously talented people, observe their different creation styles and learn new tricks from them.

A Late Night Drink: The Last Sip Released

Sun, 09 Oct 2016 13:16:57 +0000

Well it's been in development for 2 years because I'm a lazy prick. But I've finally released my next Amnesia custom story. It's a sequel to A Late Night Drink, so if any of you played that you know what to expect (though in some ways this one is pretty different)

http://www.moddb.com/mods/a-late-night-d...e-last-sip

I had Juras create me a custom monster to my specifications. It doesn't have many animations since I only intended to use it for some scripted scares, but feel free to use it however you see fit, just give me and Juras credit wherever you use it.

And that's it for me. I need a break from game development. Might see you all later if I decide to try out the Soma tools.

The Curse of Ripley Manor [full release]

Tue, 20 Sep 2016 22:37:48 +0000

My latest custom story is completed, I released it at the end of August but since then after receiving player feedback it has been patched several times to remove bugs and make minor tweaks.

Moddb page:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-curse-of-ripley-manor

Synopsis:

Somewhere in England, deep in the heart of Carr Forest lies a huge mansion owned by a large family of wealthy European Aristocrats. The owners rarely venture from inside their safe haven, yet gladly welcome many visitors to share with them an experience in this magnificent landmark.

A darkness hangs over this place however. Some claim visitors never return from their visits, while others tell stories of deformed creatures and vile spirits haunting the mansion and surrounding forest.

The story is set in the late 1920's. You play as a man named Edward. You wake up in the forest, lost and confused, unsure how you got there. You are cold and out of breath, like you have been running from something... all you can do is follow the path and hope it takes you to safety.

Features:

Custom Assets + many from AMFP
Lengthy story
Unsettling Atmosphere
No cheap scares

Images:

Notes:

Amnesia patch 1.3.1 required due to AMFP assets and scripts being heavily used throughout.

The Amnesia 1.3.1 patch is a little buggy, myself and others have found that modifying settings in the main_settings.cfg and user_settings.cfg files causes random crashes in some maps. Setting these files to default values/deleting and allowing Amnesia to re-create the files should solve any crashes.

The Cage (As Is)

Sun, 28 Aug 2016 05:54:31 +0000

Hiya guys.

So a while back, Flawless and I were working on a mod that was meant to become a fairly involved FC, but due to time and circumstances and personal goings-on, it is now being released.

It's not as in-depth as I'd have liked, but it's complete enough that the main focus of what I had wanted to achieve is present and accounted for.

I have no plans to revisit this in the future, though I am not ruling out the possibility.

Here is the link and thank you all for your time. Especially you, Flawless. You kick ass. <3

Amnesia: Survival (PROTOTYPE)

Sun, 07 Aug 2016 07:36:26 +0000

Amnesia: Survival

*temporary name

[video=youtube]https://youtu.be/LHZPzx8jF2Q[/video]

This Amnesia project aims to create a unique and interesting experience. It provides the player with a sandbox environment, where a total freedom is given to the player. It is very similar to other building/survival games, but in the game we all know and love.

I'm not doing it to rip of other game mechanics, I'm doing it, because I love sandbox games and love Amnesia even more.

The Custom Story is currently in the Prototyping stage, I'm working on the base code and many key features are already implemented. The feature section on this page will be updated.

Can I play it?

At this stage (0.0.1 PROTOTYPE), it is NOT possible to play the mod.
I am, however, going to release a working stable version, that will be frequently updated.

A Utility will be provided to ensure Game Save compatibility, though it is a 3rd party software written by me. (coming after the first build release)

How Frequent are the updates?

Generally speaking, monthly builds are going to be released.

FEATURES

Time & DAY/NIGHT cycle
Sandbox Terrain (about 10-15 minutes real time to run from one end to the other)
BuildTool (Allows you to create real objects from blueprints and vice versa)
KeyChain (Unlocks and Lock all created doors)
RecycleTool (Does nothing in the current version)
Craft Table (checks for planks, handles crafting)
Current Build objects: Board, Wooden Wall, Wooden Window, Wooden Pillar...
Grunt comes at night if the player is not asleep.
Day lasts about 10 minutes.

I just finished some lighting study in a dungeon area, i wanted warm colors and a foggy look to it.
Edit #1 : Improved level by adding particles, billboards and lowering the torches based on Slanderous feedback.

Amnesia randomizer code - Nightmare engine for Amnesia

Sun, 01 May 2016 00:11:03 +0000

Update: 2016-06-29

Added entity randomization as well, the final project can be downloaded at moddb.

There is also an online repository for anybody interested in looking at the source code, see link below.

https://github.com/Nordic-Coding/AmnesiaRandomizer

####################################################################################################

Update: 2016-05-03

Added a Graphical-UI and a built in back-up feature for the project making it a lot easier to use compared to the earlier version. A test run/instruction of this new version can be seen below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ha2uJxR...e=youtu.be

The release is appended to this thread but can also be found at moddb.

Note: Due to the built in backup feature it now requires around 2 GB of free hard-drive space to run.

#####################################################

Update: 2016-05-02

Yes i know, as if Amnesia could become more nightmarish than it already is. Anyway during this weekend I programmed a randomizer code for amnesia which grabs assets within the common/Amnesia The Dark Descent folder and then swaps assets randomly creating an hilariously terrifying result. See the video below for a test run of this tool.

With the latest update i also added the ability for the user to splice in custom .png, .jpg and .jpeg images into the gamefiles creating a less horrifying and more... well i don't really know result. Click the link below to see that result.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBikf7vLeoU

Please post questions and suggested improvements in the thread. This program has so far only been tested by one other person I know and may therefore not work optimally on all platforms yet. Therefore it is important that you post problems if you have any.

Once the code gets a bit tidier and includes some more functionality i'll post it at github for everybody to play around with.

The latest and previous versions can be downloaded via the attachments to this thread (the latest zip file seems to large to upload, use http://www.moddb.com/mods/amnesia-nightm...-engine-v2 instead), make sure that you read the readme properly before activating the program.

Have fun!

Also added this on moddb http://www.moddb.com/mods/amnesia-nightmare-engine

Amnesia: The Second Dimension [FULL RELEASE 11/06/15]

Tue, 09 Jun 2015 17:53:11 +0000

Amnesia: The Second Dimension is a puzzle platformer with comedy and horror elements, with 2D action in a 3D environment. The aim is to create a loving parody of A:TDD, adding a new dimension to the story, whilst removing a dimension from the gameplay.

You will meet Brian, a Servant Grunt with a mind of his own, and help him to fulfil his destiny. The story unfolds at Brennenburg during the events of A:TDD. Whilst tracking Daniel through a re-imagined 2.5D Brennenburg, you'll encounter a quaint and unseen world of friends and enemies... and frenemies. And you'll discover that Grunts are just as scared of Brutes as Daniel is. As well as enemies, Brian will also face some tough decisions, with hilariously tragic consequences!

Features:

18 levels of puzzling and platforming
Collectables, power-ups and 4 varied “boss fights”
Approximately 4 hours playtime
A whole new take on the A:TDD story, with all new writing
Parody and comic references to classic games offset the spoooky setting
Tons of new 2D images and textures
5 new and original music tracks
Time to crate: 0.00 seconds

Tech Specs:

IFC ("Isolated Full Conversion") mod for Amnesia version 1.3.
Only available for Windows due to technical limitations
130Mb download with installer
You won't be able to use the code to make your own side-scrolling mods, but you will be able to try your hand at making custom levels (i.e., custom stories) for A:TSD

Available on ModDB and aethericgames.com from 11/06/15.

(full-screen recommended)

You can also take a look at the pre-launch trailer, the example gameplay in the older prototype video, the scoreboard video that was discussed in this thread, the ModDB page, and if I ever find time to update http://www.aethericgames.com, you might find updates there too!

Lastly, a special mention for Mudbill, who has put a serious amount of time into thoroughly and methodically testing A:TSD, and providing useful and sensible feedback. Cheers!
