Very nice, looks promising, I am looking forward to this map.

 

[Discipline]

Incredible project! The screenshots and images give good insight into the map and the thread layout shows that there is shortage of effort behind it.

I have always enjoyed co-op maps, especially zombie based shooters, so I'll be waiting on this one.

I like how you are implementing alot of missions with random instancing. I've always wondered why it hasn't been done before in these type of games, as it grows dull to replay the same boring missions in succession without fail. At least this way the remix will spice it up and even after 50 plays you still might have only experienced half the missions. Excellent Stuff!

Could you go into detail sometime about the save/load code? If it is a ranking based system I'd be interested to see What the ranks, requirements and rewards are.

Good luck with finishing it

 

[dragon_kid]

Awesomesauce, this has.

the skinjobs and new models are also awesome, hope they get released after the map is. Good work!

 

[Just_Spectating]

reminds me of the game Hunter


(chainsaw dummy needs a bag head, like in res evil 4)

 

[Grievous1]

Thank you but i think that is a bad idea.

 

[Sergeant Ray]

This is like a horror dream come true. You are helping me with my Doom Campaign. When do you plan to release it? I can can see endless fives going around. How come I never heard of you until now?

 

[Grievous1]

Thank you very much! Yes I´m intrested in addtion i think that is a very nice idea but in my opinion my english is to bad for a good project communication! <,<

here some in game screenshots:

 

[Sergeant Ray]

Holy shit! You are a true artist. *Bows*
I would like to know a little about you. Contact me sometime?

 

[Just_Spectating]

you should try to implement a third person point of view.

 

[Sergeant Ray]

Third person view is not hard. I already have that prewritten.

 

[Grievous1]

I think that is a bad idea because I think this makes some leaks and this view is not good for the shooting and grenade system.

 

[Oziris]

Needs bether camera.The rest is fine.

 

[Grievous1]

okay... I make a camera option system! ^^

 

[Sergeant Ray]

Release without camera system, then I will give a critique on whether it needs a camera system or not.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it would make the game much scarier

 

[Tomura]

third person would really work well with the atmosphere, but controlling a unit with your mouse in a thirdperson point of view is pretty hard.
So third person needs keyboardcontrolls. The Problem is that keyboardcontrolls don't work that well in bnet (1sec delay)

Something between Third Person and Top Down will maybe do its job.


And BTW for the credits.

Konstrukt Doodads are by Talon the Mage
Marineskin, Cliffs, reskinned KonstruktDoodads, UI, big orange door and Zombiewolf by Me (Tomura)

The Rest was made by Grievous I think

 

[Just_Spectating]

you could add alot of scary cinematics and keep it with top view then

 

[RaidonGod]

COOKIE

 

[Grievous1]

Thank you very much but the interface and the models are very old. ;P

Here a new Enemy Concept : The Crawler

 

[Gausslander]

Why are you taking the units from L4D?

 

[Grievous1]

I use my own enemy concept... -,-:
Zombie (Woman and Man with 4 Variations)
Zombie Hound
Fat Zombie
Crawler
Hunter
Bonecrusher
Abomination

 

[Gausslander]

No. You don't.
The Hunter and the Smoker are both from L4D.

 

[real.]

It's not very kind of you to tell 'em that these concepts are yours. Nightwish.ger made them.

 

[Grievous1]

no i havent say that but i have forgotten to give credit him i has mean with enemy concept the enemy classes. But now a new Artwork from nightwisher.ger the Abomination:

 

[Nightwish.ger]

Grievous1 didnt named me especially because he already put my name on his credits-list as official artwork designer.

 

[Chuck]

Great looking map, cant wait for Friday.
I read on your German website that 1.0 of this will be released on April 10th, will this include an English version?

 

[Grievous1]

Hi Whispers in the Dark is only in english but I´m come from germany and i make some project views in german.

The New Whispers in the Dark:

 

[Ebisux]

Not to rush you..
but its April 13th :O

 

[Ebisux]

*bump for creator*
April 21 :O

 

[Landmine]

This is probably one of the best zombie survivals I have ever seen for Warcraft 3. I saw this first a while ago, but lost keeping track of it. I found it again at ModDB recently, and I got back on track. I can safely say this is scarier then most horror movies. Good work to the entire team.

 

[moosenoir]

this is nice
