The Electric Castle Demo

The Electric Castle
Once, while mapping I was listening to Ayreons album: Into The Electric Castle(1998) when it occurred to me it had a nice story that could be implemented into Amnesia (apart from the electric theme). For those who don't know, Ayreon - Into The Electric Castle is a progressive metal (rock opera) album with a kind of like a space theme. That forced this story to go on the artsy side of level developement.

I have worked with this project for less than a moth or something and its been exhausting. That is why i have come to the conclusion that i publish a demo (about 10minutes) first and see what people have to tell. This is my first full solo story with scripting so i learned a LOT in the process (that can be seen as progress with scripting throughout the story). The 1521 lines of script consist mainly of timers (i must have typed string &in asTimer a thousand times...)

Oh god damn it! I completely forgot to give credit and notify that this map uses the old coffin model made by DonProtz, and it is required to be in your entity/container folder...

btw the map uses a few justine entities i guess, but it shouldn't bother much.
I haven't had any beta testers for this so there might be some hidden bugs.
Sorry for not uploading cute pictures, I hope this thread gains attention nevertheless!
Also this map contains lots of flashy lights and I have no idea if it is epilepsy safe...

I loved the part where the doors on the sides of the room started getting smashed down and the heavy metal played! =D

And by the way, please can you post the script you used to make your vision go really elongated at that part? =)

Did the effects de-sync at start?

Alright, in the foggy dungeon, you mean the one with the three grunts? Yes i did die, there wasn't any way out so the grunts found me,
What angel statue? if you mean the part at the main castle door with the red fog all i saw was red fog, I died the first time in the chase because i was off to the left near the doors, but second time i ran right down the middle, It was very thrilling and very different (in a VERY good way), The beginning was very new which stopped it being boring...however it did drag on a little but only a little, and finally no the effects remained perfectly synced throughout =)

Glad to be able to provide ya with feedback ^_^
