You had better record it

Don't forget to dress up as a Grunt before.

That's it? I'm going to jump up out of my chair, strip my clothes off and proceed to run around my neighbourhood screaming and singing. Then I will watch it on repeat for the next 48 hours.

And I doubt anyone would want me to videotape any of this.

It'll be a five second long video containing text.

Haha probably, I'm all talk and no action

I found something very interesting on TCR's website, on the description for programmer Maarten de Meyer it says:

His time on this project is spent dealing with Dan's emails which say
things like "can you make the vomit particle systems stickier?" and "I
just don't think we've got the physics of the intestinal gush right
yet".

Vomit particles? Will this be replacing the sanity mechanic? We know that Oswald has a fever, maybe that has something to do with it. The "intestinal gush" is also quite concerning.

By replacing the sanity mechanic, I mean instead of the player losing sanity, he becomes ill and throws up or something like that.

Sorry for the question, I know the upcoming Amnesia project is very secret at now.
But there is one thing that mekes me actually fend.
How long do you need to play the game?
Will the next Amnesia be same long as The Dark Descent, shorter or even longer?
I think the normal player needs about 8 hours for The Dark Descent.

Because the short development time makes me fear.
I can't believe that you will be able to make a game with same content as The Dark Descent in only 10 months (last 4 months only testing, optimizing, bugs fixing).

You also need only 2-3 hours for Dear Esther.
So I hope, the next Amnesia will be a little longer, more content, more to explore etc. than all previous games by Frictional.

Can you please say something about that?

Thanks,
Martin

I also found a picture that seems to be from A Machine For Pigs.
Is it right?
What we see there: A monster is grinding a corpse.
Did the Engine support such animations?

Yes but never implemented into the game.
