Director's Cut Horror Project - Dualism

[Catch_ya]

Now if you are going to get people excited by saying that this is a director's cut map, then don't abandon it like the last project. You might remember that I was in your team, and things were good but you suddenly went inactive, broke your arm and so on, but it was not our fault that it failed, you said you met a girl and had to spent time with her. Now that is okay, but don't lie to the people about it.
Anyways good luck, I know that you are capable of creating an amazing map. I hope that you have gathered a good team. Best wishes.

@Catch ya
Thanks man. This project wont be abandoned, I promise.

 

[xorkatoss]

One question. Do ghosts appear in this game?

you are asking too much questions dude!! it won't be fun if sverk tells us everything about the game, it will be better and more horrifying to find out those by ourselves

@Catch ya
Thanks man. This project wont be abandoned, I promise.

im really glad to hear that!! although you can never be sure bcz you know what they say "when people make plans, god watches them and laughs" xD

 

[Catch_ya]

@Catch ya
Thanks man. This project wont be abandoned, I promise.

No problem, I haven't seen a successful horror map yet, so I'm really excited about this project. Tell me if you need help with some scripts or so.

hey sverk, I have found out a really good intro template called "The Shadow" and IMO it would fit in Dualism's intro
To modify this template you will need Sony Vegas Pro 11

It might fit. But it depends on the story. But it will fix with a high chance.

 

[Sverkerman]

@Xorkatoss
That's a pretty cool template. I'll see what Grey can do with it.

14/15 beta testing slots are occupied. I will accept one last beta tester!


Dualism is coming along well. I had a struggle with finding the correct water model for a water filled area inside the castle but thanks to Hashjie and Goris efforts that problem is now solved and progress will be continued at Monday.

All of you beta testers will get a PM from me whenever the Beta is released. It will contain some files as well to help you with the videos. (Dualism intro and Dualism outré)

About release date, I still can't set one because I don't know how long the programming will take. I finished the whole cellar programming in 5 hours so I could finish potentially have a Beta product done in 6 days, but again that is only if I work 5 hours a day which isn't too likely.

Beta is coming June, that's all I can guarantee at this particular moment though

So 1 slot left hmmmm

Seems this is a really scary game. If I could I would join....
yet the problem is I don't have anything to give yet sooo I'm just gonna watch some good videos of this around youtube.

I really hate super scary things, I almost died of heart attack when my family watched the whole series of The Grudge.... really scary damn

Yeah. Last time I played a scary game, I couldn't sleep. But I am interested in this one. The trailer was just perfect. I think this won't be SUPER scary, if they don't import a lot of SUPER scary sounds and SUPER scary models.

 

[Catch_ya]

Sverkerman, don't forget sounds and music are very important for making people scared. You probably thought about this already, but I'm just saying because it really is VERY important!

 

[shinji]

Agree. Probably you could get those in the internet.

 

[MoCo]

This is a very interesting project. Reminds me a bit at the game Amnesia which really had some creepy moments because there were no weapons at all and you always felt kinda helpless. Good luck with this one, I'm looking forward to play it.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Yeah, guns make everything less scary :{D
Anywho, hyped for a new video and more for the beta.

 

[shinji]

Am I in the beta testers or it's already full??!?

 

[Chaosy]

looking forward to beta just finish it!

 

[Sverkerman]

I am working hard on the beta.

 

[HOooDy]

I Hope You Will Done It Old Friend

I Expect A Good Quality And Highly Detaild Terrain.

So , I Subscribe it.

 

[Jazztastic]

If i saw a man in the street, and he had a gun, I would be a lot more scared then if he didn't have a gun.

Even video games can be scary. There are lots of different types of being scared, helplessness, monsters, w/e. Some games rely on the fact that you cant deal with your attacker to bring fright. That's most likely what this one does (from the description). But I still think games such as Resident Evil (the earlier ones) have some scary moments. I guess it's opinion really.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I mean in stuff like zombie shooters or horror games

 

[shinji]

So, are you still recruiting me as a tester???

 

[Dr. Brewery Ale]

I want to be a Beta Tester Sir. Please. Hire me.

 

[Sverkerman]

@Dr. Brewery Ale

If you want to beta test send me a PM with the application form which can be located in the main post.

 

[shinji]

If you need more I can offer more you know....

 

[Sverkerman]

No thx shinji, your beta application has been declined.

 

[shinji]

Ah. You don't need me? Fine. Good luck. I'm looking forward on this. Please finish this. (I heard that you abandoned your last project.)

 

[Sverkerman]

@shinji
That is true, I did abandon my last projects which I have no excuse for.


However, Dualism is not like any other project that I've done. This is the most serious project that I've involved myself into in my entire life.



You might ask yourself why I'm not updating this thread like I used to, the reason for that is that I don't want to reveal anything more about Dualism until Beta.


1st June today, this means that the Beta can be released any day.

 

[shinji]

I see. Does beta means it's already done and just have to find bugs?

 

[Dr. Brewery Ale]

@Dr. Brewery Ale

If you want to beta test send me a PM with the application form which can be located in the main post.

I can't find it dear sir. Link dear sir please.

 

[shinji]

Probably the slots are already full, Dr. Brewery Ale.

 

[Sverkerman]

@shinji
No there is 1 beta slot left

Application Form

Here are a few things that will improve your chanses of claiming a spot among the Beta Testers of Dualism:
-Spread the word about Dualism.
-PM the developers about what you can offer them. They are mostly interested in people with the capability of creating "Let's Play" videos with facecam featuring Dualism Beta.
(Microphone, Webcamera, Recording Program, Editing Program and the possibility to Publish preferably on Youtube)
-Use the Supporter Signature.
-Like Dualism related youtube videos & comment on them.
-Help by posting suggestions or giving constructive critism in the development thread.
-Defend the thread from flaming haters by neutralizing their comment with 1800 century, non-understandable, hard english vocabulary.

Send me a PM with information of which ones of these things you WILL (not CAN) do.

 

[xorkatoss]

@shinji
No there is 1 beta slot left

hmmm...outdated i guess?

Picture

 

[Sverkerman]

@xorkatoss
Yep that's not updated.


Also, I just realised that I might need some more beta testers incase that any of the original beta testers have stopped playing/are not interested in testing beta.

 

[HOooDy]

Any Updates Sir ..

 

[Sverkerman]

@Empire Jackal

You might ask yourself why I'm not updating this thread like I used to, the reason for that is that I don't want to reveal anything more about Dualism until Beta.

 

[shinji]

And beta version can only be seen by beta tester which you and I an not, empire_Jackal

 

[sonofjay]

Hoping to try the beta soon,

 

[xorkatoss]

@xorkatoss
Yep that's not updated.

you can still count me in

 

[Sverkerman]

Update:

Just finished the last bit of terraining!

Thanks so much to Goris for helping me out with models and giving me the great suggestion for the lightning which I've actually switched to.

Thanks to Hylke for helping me perfect the engine and for helping me slow down the animation speed of the Waterfall inside Warcraft 3 to enable it to be used as water for the water filled area of the castle which I just finished.

Everything is going according to plan, I am certain that we can finish Dualism Beta this June even tho I am in the middle of a moving progress and my birthday is coming up the 13th.

Beta Test slots are still open but limited as we've reached the 15 Beta Testers mark. We are only interested in people with the ambision of making Youtube let's plays as of right now.

Hope that you are all excited!

 

[shinji]

You didn't accept me even I told you that I can make a video...

 

[Sverkerman]

@shinji
You said that you were able to record a video and that it had 4 fps. We are looking for a bit more experienced video makers that are able to follow instructions on how we want the videos to be made. We are very sorry shinji but we don't feel that you have the experience needed.

 

[shinji]

.... I understand. But you got me wrong about the 4 FPS. I was able to take a video with about 15 FPS.

 

[maddeem]

Lol I get 70 fps with fraps

 

[sonofjay]

Is the Beta test slot on the main post updated? You might want to update it. Anyway advance happy b-day.

 

[shinji]

70 FPS?? My computer isn't a advanced computer you know...

And yeah, the full version will be released this month, right? I hope you'll get the Director's Cut.

You will probably get it if you scare the crap out of moderators.

 

[Sverkerman]

The beta is released this month, not the whole game.

The beta is approx 47% of the total game.


@sonofjay
Not updated yet, will do soon and Thank-You

@shinji
Thank you

@Maddeem
Great!

 

[Sverkerman]

I made a new update video today!

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I see the new hairdo

 

[Sverkerman]

lol.

 

[maddeem]

If you don't mind, I have a really neat idea for traps. One that actually alters terrain. I made an example for you. You place an elevator above a -1 cliff with 0 life. When a unit walks over it the unit takes damage and the cliff falls. With something like this you can add spikes below, maybe with some poison. Hope ya try it

Advanced Traps

 

[sonofjay]

Nice haircut,

anyway nice video, but just realize that the terrain is a bit empty on some places especially the castle there something that really missing, maybe some decoration, and about the pathing, you might want to try my tutorial
