Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Googolplex]

I hope the music will be great. It's important to make no "loud and bombastic" music like for cinematic action trailers. I wish more smooth horror music made with drums and bass or disturbing melancholic sounds.

I mention some tracks as an inspiration for good horror music:

The music will be fine - Jessica Curry is the composer after all!

Penumbra tracks were great especially intro and flashback music.

I've had this question for a while now, I'll keep it simple.
Will it be possible to transfer Custom Stories in progress on The Dark Descent to A Machine For Pigs when it is released? Why I am asking this is because I'm working on a large project and I need more time, but AMFP is soon released.

[The chaser]

That's what a lot (including me) want to know. I think that it can be done always that you had ALL the original Amnesia assets in the AMFP (kinda like a full conversion).

[MaZiCUT]

Probably, yes. Because they run on the same engine it will most likely be possible but if you have content used from Amnesia: The Dark Descent, like models or "BARRULZ" from it, you'll have to make sure it comes with everything else in your custom story. Because those models will most likely not be in the new Amnesia.

Didn't Samuel already deny that possibility in the discussion thread?

There are some codebase changes so not everything will work. We are unable to load TDD maps into the Pigs build for example.

What I grasp from that is that you won't be able to load your maps at all. The assets, however, could still work. I guess, in the worst case you might have to use the new dev tools to re-create the .mat and .ent files from the .dae and .dds files provided?
As for scripts I have no idea.

Hardarm, are you drunk?

Not sure... but I like it. It has a tribal feel to it which fits the whole Tuurngait theme. Also reminds me of The Void which - I may have mentioned it a few times already - is an awesome game.

[Apjjm]

I don't know, but I'm guessing the safest bet is to assume that you can not transfer scripts or maps without at least a significant portion of work unless the devs say otherwise. People will still have copies of amnesia so the custom story community won't be gone straight away when AAMFP comes out!
