NEW! [Unnamed] Horror Map!

[Shadowz123]

Hello All!

Alot of you may of played my 'Blair Witch' Map.
I turned Warcraft 3 into a Very Dark, Creepy, Scary Place. But i did that Years ago.

Until Recently, I've only had small ideas for a new Horror Map. I've been playing Many upon Many Horror Games (On Playstation 3, PC) and getting myself new ideas. And one day, i had a Very Unique Idea.

Title - [UNNAMED]
Genre - Horror
Players - 12 (At the Moment)
Map Size - 480 x 480

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

This map will Have Little to No Action, I dont want it to be a huge All-Out War against some Evil Entity...
Basically, you will control a single unit, and you must explore the Massive city, looking for clues to what happened in this city. While you're doing this Weird/Strange/Creepy/Scary things will happen, Which i hope to Implement in such a way that it will get everyone

Different Everytime you Play
Everytime you start this map, your character will wake up in a different part of the city. And the story can be different all over.

Feeling of being Alone
Sure, you can chat to people playing, But you will not know where they are. The city is Vast, and has many Crevasses and Hidden places that i doubt you'd meet up with any of the other players Unless you somehow know your way around.

Flashlight
Well, it isnt really a Flashlight, with a Cone-of-Light Style, you have a Light around you, and can choose to Turn it off and such, It does have a Battery so if you dont need it, turn it off. If the Battery Runs out of Power, it will Turn off (Obviously) But Magically the Battery will slowly Recharge OverTime. Ofcourse, you have to home your not Stuck in a Hallway of an Apartment Building, or In the Mines...

Yes, Fixed Cameras
Resident Evil games were Scary, due to its fixed Camera Positions. Therefore i can pull of quite scary events, that'll get your Heart Pounding.

ALOT of Custom Sounds
This map will be Cram-packed Full of Sounds to get your Heart Racing...Yes, there is a 4MB Limit...Which sucks...But im sure i can fit in Scary Sounds into The Map using the .OGG Format!

I hope this becomes a reality sooner or later...Ive only started working on it. There will be many locations in this map which have rarely or never been in a horror Game, I just gotta think real Hard for this

I'll update this Whenever i can when i think up new Ideas. I Shall Post Screenshots of Completed Areas Aswell.

UPDATE
I've added a few Pre-Alpha Screenshots of 'The Mine - Reception', this is a Wake up Spot.

sounds very interesting...

especially the random starting point thing. would probably give the map a huge replay-value.

thing is, maps like this totally depend on the terrain.

gl with the project

Why not MP3 format?

I like this idea, but 480x480 might lag.

 

[Shadowz123]

Because .MP3 Format is 7-8x Bigger in Size than .OGG

And it may...Hopefully not.
I need a Good Door Model, Not SamuraiPanda's One, because it is Really Crap :S
Anyone know of one?

 

[Super-Sheep]

You sure that wc3 supports .ogg?

And what .ogg stands for? Never höörd.

 

[Shadowz123]

If WC3 Didnt Support it, would i state that i'd be using it?
And Im not sure what it stands for. Doom 3 Used .ogg format for theyre sounds.

 

[Vicboy]

Here's a door.

 

[Shadowz123]

Thanks heaps VicBoy, I also uploaded a few Screenshots from Pre-Alpha. Testing the Camera system in 'The Mine - Reception'.

 

[Vicboy]

Actually, once I saw the screenshots, it does feel Resident Evil.

This will be some work for you (the fact that you have to hundreds of regions per camera position.)

Ps. Check out my project

 

[Shadowz123]

Yeah...It will take awhile to Make.
I've also had help from a friend, And we've come up with some Very Scary Things that Can/Will Happen when your Playing.

Also i'm adding a Flashlight System. Ill post the Update on First Post.

 

[Vicboy]

You can make this awfully big unit chase a you but then fades before you even get touched by it?

Love the idea i was going to try to make a scary map single player but i couldent think up much ways to make the game scary with warcraft 3.
about the flashlight, maybe name it lantern, since light goes all around, and if its electirc powerd lantern it wouldent change how it works goodluck i hope to see this finished.

 

[Shadowz123]

Awhile ago i had a problem with my computer, i had to reformat the computer, and i have lost the map data, i have started remaking the map but i need a Road Model, if anyone can help with this, i shall be very grateful!
Thanks.

[Shadowz123]
