» Chernobyl - Lost Riddles

[De.Facto]

Hey dudes.
I just want to show you some impressions of Chernobyl - Lost Riddles.

We will release the new homepage / version in the following weeks.

All pictures are still WORK IN PROGRESS!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Add more smoke/mist particles plus some light rays and you've got amazing terrain.

 

[De.Facto]

Yes, this is still the bare brickwork. But thanks.
Light-sources, effects and smoke/mist will follow ((;

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

I'm glad to see you're publishing the work now. I'm working on the camera - system right now and I think I figured a way of how to make it smooth and dynamic.

 

[Goldendemon]

first 2 screens looks meh
following 3 are ... okay
the rest is really really nice x)

keep it up and..wir sehen uns auf inwc :hoho:

[Anti_Bodies]

Very pretty.

 

[AKAIMAX]

Chernobyl? Looks really good and do you mean it by the Nuclear Explosion in Ukraine? Just curious.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

It's great, the first factory/nuclear plant terrain I see and it looks very accurate, I like the factory terrain

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Yes, as a pre-liquidator you have to obviate the accident of 1986. (;


There will be two parts.

An 'adventure-part' and a 'riddle-part' - the riddles are divided into 'actives' and 'passives'.

• Active riddle means, that you have to solve the room with active actions and your team.
  
• A passive riddle can be solved with a 'simple' text command.

Furthermore the rooms are divided into alpha, beta and gamma-yards.
You may find different riddles in that yards (empiric, knowledge, math [..]).

Before you entering a room, you may discover the environment -
gathering some informations about chernobyl, the accident, the causes and the effects.

At least, the reactor of chernobyl (RBMK-1000) is fully implemented.
The functions, the mechanics and how this nuclear power plant was working - will be available for you and your team.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

I would be happy to beta test

 

[TheHunterKiller]

I loved the last version, but the third riddle was impossible.
Those screenshots look epic.

 

[Megafyr]

Nice shit you got there. Only the stretched textures look a bit strange.

 

[De.Facto]

Nice shit you got there. Only the stretched textures look a bit strange.

Hey thanks.

Yes. The stairs, mh? I'm thinkin' about some new hi-res-textures.

 

[The_Grapist]

Where are the models from? PLS link them!

 

[Celaquil]

I'm just posting here to let you know how bloody awesome I think this terrain looks o.o

 

[dansaDisco]

Those bridges looks really weird with the tiles you use :|

 

[Arcany]

The bridges are okay-ish. Just, get rid of those ugly stretched textures from the tiles.

Maybe build a doodad wall there?

 

[De.Facto]

Those bridges looks really weird with the tiles you use :|

Yes. I've already changed the tileset. The first seven pictures are older ones.

Maybe i will remove the stone-bridge in the final version .. ((;

 

[dansaDisco]

Yeah, I'd say.. Make a metal bridge. If you can't do that, someone might be able help you out ;P

 

[De.Facto]

hah! Just wait! I'll abuse that pipe-doodads ;>

 

[dansaDisco]

Haha, awesome ;p

Great job anyway! The only thing that bothered me is the stone bridges, because.. stone bridges in a fully metallic terrain? Doesn't look quite right

 

[De.Facto]

ye, trues. It doesn't really fit. Thank you so much for the critikz ;D

Btw .. the new Loadscreen for v1.00b!

.. teh fonts are still missing!

 

[Arcany]

Looks great, you made this yourself?

 

[dansaDisco]

Oh btw, you aren't working on this project on your own, are you?

 

[De.Facto]

No. We're five.

Art Director. Me.

Technical Director. Darkt3mpl3r
Script Director. M]ath

Concept Art. SofiaLisa
Sound Director.. a good mate.

I've made the design of the upcoming homepage.
Coding will be done by another coder (;

 

[madcd]

just thought id drop in a say very nice set of doodads and good use of everything really like it

 

[De.Facto]

These shown pictures are still WIP! No smoke. No mist. No lightsources.
The old 'stonebridge' has gone so far. I've reworked the whole Isle.

 

[CloudWolf]

wow Thats totally unlike anything ive ever seen in warcraft before xD The fact that theres so much height variation is a huge plus Most terrainers tend to make everything too flat but you definately dont have that problem

The custom models and skins really help add to the "industrial" feel you've got going on

I must agree about those stone bridges though They look far to medieval at the moment! maybe a custom skin, or perhaps a new model altogether?

all in all, you've left me breathless xD I look forward to seeing more!

 

[De.Facto]

.. if i'm honest, this was just the beginning. (; Wait for the Gamma-Yard.

 

[De.Facto]

www.chernobyl-lost-riddles.com just went online.
There are only 23 slots left for the betatesters, so hurry up. (;

 

[Fingolfin]

That lenin image is such an awesome touch.
Brilliant atmosphere.

 

[De.Facto]

Thanks mate. There will be 'bout 5-8 'Posters' at least. This is just only one. (;

 

[De.Facto]

There will be more posters soon, the good old Lenin is just our place-holder.

 

[Fingolfin]

I think you should add some russian texts too, like генератор 01 or whatever makes sense, russian looks so cool.

 

[De.Facto]

By the way, the toilets will flush anticlockwise.

 

[Fingolfin]

Omg, my cool-o-meter just went off the charts!!

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Amazing.

 

[ShadowDemonLord]

If it wernt for that question mark in that one picture I wouldnt believe that this was made in world editor. It looks WAY to different. It looks awsome though.

 

[De.Facto]

The mirror-image of the last pictures will be dynamic.

New pictures showing the bar of the lower caste.
It will be possible to play SPACE INVADERS on the arcade machine.

 

[CloudWolf]

bugger me xD You actually made a bar??? that's awesome

I've always wondered. Are you making your own doodad models as well?

 

[Fingolfin]

No, he's using only kofi banan's concrete block and some DoW pipes.
That's why it's so ingenious.

 

[De.Facto]

Not really, this is only one square-concrete-model i've used.
Don't forget the pipes as well. We will add some inGame-Advertisement (Posters) later.

NUKA PEPSO - Sugar flavoured water .. and a sort of Wodka.

 

[CloudWolf]

lol you should host some competitions to get people to design posters for the game

 

[De.Facto]

We will start a lottery with Fallout 3 stuff, when the beta-phase is over. :>

 

[De.Facto]

First VFX-Tests.

 

[Oziris]

I wouldn't have the nerves to do all this. Good job. Lots of creativity.

 

[De.Facto]

InGame-shots | without VFX

 

[raid1000]

raid1000 bows

 

[Craka_J]

Nice terrains. But please do not mix WarCraft III units with this! They don't fit at all. Also, be sure to focus on the level design portion of the terrains rather than just decorating the hell out of it (not saying decoration is bad) so that there are vantage points and so on.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

looks like a combo of COD and Halo.

very great shit man, and i agree wit craka, you should focus on vantage points to duck, etc.
