• Storyline •
My name is Dante. I am a warrior of God, a crusaider of the holy powers. The year is 1098.
"Beatrice... I write this to you my loved, in the name of God. I will keep my promise, I will return to you my beloved. This crusade will soon be over and I will soon see your beautiful smile once more. My love for you grow for each day in this war. For each day that passes, I miss you more. I won't be here much longer my loved, soon we will be together. Soon we can get married with God as our witness. I love you forever.
Dante"

• F.A.Q •
- Post a question and the reply will end up here -

light bolt30:------------------------------------------------------
May I ask that, are you trying to recreate every aspect of the real game?

No. I am not trying to recreate EVERY aspect of the game, but most of it.
I will add things that are not in the orginal game, but I will also leave out some things.

Varine-------------------------------------------------------------
How come any time a somewhat popular game or movie comes out, someone immediately makes a map based of it?

First of all, this map is NOT based on the game. It is based on the book and movie of Dante's Inferno.
Second, your question is sort of not accurate. I have for example not seen anyone recreate Assasins Creed or any other game like that.

Jsprat100----------------------------------------------------------
How are you going to do the Lust level?

I will make it with custom models that supports the special effects and other.
I will also make a cinematic that will make it just like in the movie.

• Screenshots •
Previews
(1) - Game Starts
This is the area where you can select to load a saved game, or start a new journey. Note that the sky will be changed. If you have any tips on how to improve the screenshot(s), please comment!

• The Project Team •

Administration.
HaniBon (Project Creator and Leader).

Skinning and Icons.
Narrator (Skinning).
supertonikz (Icons).

You already have a thread about this, no need for another one.

Yes a Unofficial thread.
Go check it out again.

That thread was just for if some people wanted to give feedback, if they think I should make the project happen or not etc.

This is the official thread.

Really nice idea dude and I hope this project will not die! but I think the terrain in the first screenshot needs more work and you should make areas like this http://www.wallpaperez.info/wallpaper/games/Dantes-Inferno-1901.jpg :D
keep up the good work man!

Verry nice Feedback (+rep)!

Thanks alot man! This is the type of comments I need ;)
I am a dude who needs attention to keep up my work, and comments like this just makes me want to work work work :thumbs_up:

About the Screenshot: Yeah I will remake it a bit, maybe darker and a few more doodads and such?

The picture you linked: This is a place that will be created later on, the 9 circles of hell will take some time but they will be here :wink:

Thanks again!

I love Dante's Inferno (I have just got onto Anger on the Xbox 360) but I would hate for you to mess it up. It is a brilliant game based off of a brilliant poem.

I would love to see some of the people from history and myth on this, gives the game more depth. One of my favourites was Cerberus on the Gluttony level and Mark Antony on the Lust level.

The game is meant to be disturbing, after all it is hell personified, so have fun with blood and stuff.

First of all, thanks for the comment!
"Give the game more depth"
- You got it sir!
This map is not based on the game for xBox and PS3, more of the Book and movie but they are kind of the same.

I will work hard on the terrain and the screenshot is just a preview so don't hang up on that :wink:


Mhm I don't know Dante's Inferono but I think this map, mod or campaign (wahtever xD) hast got lot of potencial. You only need to make good terrain, story charakters, and gameplay (only -_-). It would be really bad if you let it die.

1: Thanks for the comment :)
2: The terrain will be nice just give it a month and a lot of more detailed screenshots will be here ;)
3: As long as I have people (like you) supporting this project, it will never die!

Thanks!

Damn I was hoping for DIII quality terraining. It's just 7/10 from me.

The feature list looks pretty cool though.

Good luck.

About the Terrain, read my other comments :wink:

That screenshot is just a preview, it will be more detailed don't worry ;)

Thanks for the comment!

Hey dude.

First of all, you sort of failed here...
1: This map is not based on the game, it's based on the book and movie (if you would read the whole topic you would see that).
2: It's not true. This faar, I have not seen anyone recreate for example "Prototype" or "Assasins Creed".

Yeah thanks
And yes I will use alot of custom models and skins, dont you worry :wink:

Well, see ya around then :grin:

I know its just a preview terrain but IF you didnt know this then I tell you. on the kinda spiky terrain just use a little smooth brush and a few clicks. This will make it look more natural. I guess this could be a useful tip.

good luck! keep it alive

PS: what about my signature :p?

About the terrain: 2 new screenshots will come out today!
The new screenshots will not be previews, it will show how it really will look :mwahaha:

Looks well planned out, I've seen the movie was awesome. I'm pretty excited to find out what you will do for the boss fights heh ^.^

Yeh thanks man :grin:
The move is great, yes, and the boss fights will be based on the movie so I hope it will be good :thumbs_up:

Thanks for the comments guys!

How are you going to do the Lust level? In all media (game, poem, movie) isn't it pretty much all the carnal tower? Warcraft III doesn't really support vertical travel. Just want to know how you will tackle it...

Thanks for the Question, it's added to the F.A.Q. :wink:

Well, how I will make the Lust level... That will be hard yes, but I think I will manage it. With some custom models etc, I think I can pull it off :wink:

will you have your pal Virgil help you out in some places perhaps as someone you can summon for 30 secs that will help you? Will you be fighting your way into hell threw the 9 circles or out from the 9th until you get out?

How will you do the seventh layer which I believe is the river of blood?

What exactly are the bad guys gonna be?

Great questions if I may say.

1: Virgil - Virgil will be spawned whenever you enter a new circle or when you will fight a new boss. You can also spwan virgil by calling for him, but you may only do this 10 times.

2: 9 Circles - You will fight your way INTO hell, you start in Dante's house, then travels to Jerusalem for the Crusaide, once done there, you will enter Hell. The mission is just like in the movie: To save Beatrice.

3: Layers - This will be hard yes, but I will use red water and place some doodads in it to make it more real.

4: The "Bad Guys" - The Bad Guys will be demons from hell. Several different type of demons. The Bosses are ancient kings and lords, but with the shape of a demon. The main boss will be Lucifer him self.

That... killed a part of me.

I suggest you rewrite the concept without Dante in it. The map just has nothing to do with the Inferno created by Dante, I don't see why his work has to be made into something it was never meant to represent. I mean, Dante's works are phylosophical pieces of art, not something about killing zombies and demons.

Just do the thing without Dante in it, it would be more... "factual."

I was thinking about this and the XBox game last night. I'm reading The Inferno right now it really doesn't lend itself to a video game, as Zombie. said. The tortured people in Hell are mostly friendly enough to Dante as he meets them and the monsters guarding each circle are just minor annoyances that Virgil can dismiss easily. The story is about Dante's reflection on his own morality (and perhaps mortality) and his quest to find his love, Beatrice.

True.
This will reflect in the game aswell. You will find friendly demons that with virgils help, will guide you in hell. They will help you find the easiest ways through hell.
