Looking for a scriptor to help me design scares for the scariest story ever - danthaman15 - 09-05-2011

The Unforgiven

I need a scriptor to help me with this new project, which is coming along greatly. We will come up with scares on our own and put them in the story. Reply or PM me if interested Smile

A wall which is actually an enemy. You walk by it, it starts chasing you. Avoid it, and go to the hidden passage that was behind it.

I might be of some help.

I Only Started Making Levels Recently But I've been learning quickly.

Tell me what kinds of things you want to happen and I'll see if I can do them

Actually, what would be awesome is if there is a hallway with an unexpected dead end. You pass by a vaguely odd looking wall, nothing happens. When you get to a point you can see it's a dead end, the wall is replaced by a complex version... A Grunt model spliced together with the wall model. Yep, it'll be hard to do, but imagine a wall coming right at you. You gotta make him turn to pass, and you get redirected to where he was blocking.

Sounds pretty stupid, actually... Sad

I was kind of hoping more for a Skype text chat to discuss scares and whatnot, but I'll tell you what I need when we come up with stuff. There are quite a few things i need scripts for (if you want to play the story without scare spoilers, don't read):


Spoiler below!
* Something slowly rolling around a corner (a bottle, anything that rolls)

*When you get near some shelves, there is a roar and a bang, and all the items explode off the shelves when the bang hits. Its more than one shelf, and they're not all near each other (its a sound file. Maybe time a delay after entering the activation zone so the scare matches up with the sound timing-wise?)

*An opening script that says "Blah blah presents" before fading in to the game. I already have the fade in scripted

*After the player faints, the title appearing suddenly against the black

* The player looking towards the ceiling after hearing some thunder


Someone who would help me script and test through skype would be appreciated Smile

Those scares of which youre talking about shouldn't be that hard to do.
Send me your map and script file and tell me where you want this events to happen. Wink

I sent you the map and a detailed description (which I might re-post here Wink ). Thanks for the help. I'm very excited for this story.
