Amnesia: The Second Dimension [READY FOR LAUNCH]

[MrBehemoth]

Just a quickie... I updated the OP to say:

Things are progressing nicely and the mod will go into beta testing soon. There are just a couple of levels that need a bit of work. I'll announce here when it's ready for beta and recruit testers as promised. The release date is still fluid, but will be around 1st June.

Nice m8, altho one question. Why is Brian the only grunt that is blue xD Is there a backstory about it?

Good question. Various answers.

Outside the story:
- I wanted a way to make the player character recognisable and to stand out from a crowd of other grunts.
- I wanted to mark him as special, somehow different from the others.
- It was a bit of a tribute to Abe from Oddworld. Abe is blue but all the other Mudokens are green, plus there are a few other parallels.

Inside the story:

- No real reason.
- Ok, maybe a little reason, but it's not a spectacular back story event or anything, more like a set-up for a bad joke.
- That's all you're getting for now.

Ha ha, yup.

Blast from the past. Everyone here thought the lyrics were "I'm blue, in Aberdeen I will die, in Aberdeen I will die..." That was in the year I left home and went to live in Aberdeen.

Apologies if this was answered but this is a full conversion, right?

It has, but I could have made it clearer. I've updated the OP to include this info:

Features:

• 18 levels of puzzling and platforming
  
• Approximately 4 hours playtime (this has yet to be verified and will be updated once the beta is finished)
  
• A whole new take on the A:TDD story, with all new writing
  
• Tons of new 2D images and textures
  
• 5 new and original music tracks

Tech Specs:

• IFC ("Isolated Full Conversion") mod for Amnesia version 1.3
  
• Only available for Windows due to technical limitations
  
• 400Mb download (hey, there's a lot of content!)
  
• Includes installer and launcher
  
• 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

Apologies to non-Windows users, but it took a bit of jiggery-pokery of the engine itself to get this working. Doing the same thing on Mac and Linux is currently beyond me.

Three quick notes about THINGS GETTING REAL:

(the first two are just me buffing my ego)

Firstly, a couple of weeks ago over in YouTubeLand, some dude or dudette recut some bits and pieces from my channel to make a A:TSD fan trailer. Show 'em some love.

Secondly, whilst working at my totally non-gaming-related dayjob today I got talking to a client about mods, and it turned out he had heard of A:TSD. I mean, lot's of people have heard of it, but this was I... R... L... and it made my day.

Lastly, the real news: I may or may not be able to release on 1st June, but A:TSD will definitely be entering beta before the end of the month. Fo realz.

I have PM'd a few people who have previously volunteered. I'll post here if I need more.

Awesome news! I won't be beta testing, but I look forward to the finished product! I'm also pretty astonished about how much attention you have gotten going for your modification; to actually find someone who knows about your mod is an astounding achievement.

Keep it up Behemoth :3
