RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2

How many hours of gameplay do you expect to be in this game?

Is death handled any differently than it was in the original game in terms of how it alters the environment or aims to avoid tedious trial and error?

TDD had a lot of unfathomable Lovecraftian forces and horrors lurking in the background, and that were indirectly always present. Maybe I am asking too much, but can we expect something similar in the sequel?

I believe we are all wondering if you have knowledge of the intended quarter it will be released in at this point?
FG said Q2, but we're seeing reports of Q3 in interviews with no backing or quotes. Everyone is confused at this point and any clarification/confirmation/debunking of information would be greatly appreciated to everyone here. I understand you don't have a say in when it is released, but if you have any information as to helping us it would be great.
Thank you.

1) How will Oswald's take on being afraid compare to Daniel's,
will the panicked noises we heard in the game trailer be used
or have they been trimmed down?

They are there at the moment, but the trailer is pretty amped up - it's a compressed sequence, so the panic noises are quite raised. It's a little more sparse in the game.

2) Could you tell us anything more about the monster's intelligence
compared to the Grunts and Brutes? I'm certain this time around we'll
need to do more than simply find a closet to hide in.

Again, good luck with that. Smile

3) Will there be a possible game soundtrack we could buy, too?
Or any other things: shirts, accessories, etc... to go with the franchise?
I'd love that a lot.

Soundtrack = Yes, absolutely. Other stuff - up to FG but I hope so. There's some really, really cool 2D art in the game - you've seen some of in on the website. It's crying out for t-shirts etc

4) I'd like to know when they first started creating assets for the game?

We started November 2011.

5) What was the first level they worked on?

We floorplanned everything. I think the first major work was done simultaneously on levels called Mansion and Factory.

6) How far through development did they add the enemy or enemies?

Right at the start, but the AI continues to be tweaked and probably will be right up until launch

We will play more outside or inside the buildings?

Thanks Smile

There's more outside areas for sure. But still a lot inside.

That's a terrible answer. Sorry.

You can expect all you like about the end/s of the game. Our job is to catch you out and knock you off your feet with it/them.

Any comment on the NPCs in "machine"? Will we see anybody else walking around the world, or will it be mostly a ghost town like in TDD?

It's a tried and tested formula of notes, audio, environmental storytelling, clues, gameplay, etc. Our take on things is "tell a good story... tell it well". These things work, so we use them Smile

Not going to talk about that. All I'll say is that what is in your head is way more powerful than anything we can represent onscreen or with an integer system, so our focus is on messing you up as much as we can.
