RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion

Quote: I'm thinking of the Storage Level in ATDD, and the drill you had to use.Without the inventory you'd have to stash the pieces in one location, then build them, then when it came to using them it wouldn't be automatic (except for the drill placement) then the player would have to rotate the mouse to literally drill through the barrel (e.g. not let the game do 1/2 the work [Image: wink.gif] ).
The point is, however, they are not ripping the inventory out of a game that was created under the assumption that the player would have one, they are building a game around the fact that there is no inventory. So obviously, this puzzle would have been replaced by a different puzzle that works better with environment interactions only.

@Statyk: No, I'm quite excited, actually, to see how they will change their game design to work with this new system and what effect it will have on me as a player. Big Grin

Quote: IMO Amnesia and Penumbra had a very emergent design philosophy as well, but you can only simplify up to a point. After that you just start removing core aspects.
Quote: Nobody is worried about them making improvements to the adventure aspectof their games, but having items you pick up is not the huge immersion breaker you make it out to be.
Both is very much true. But after some thinking, I've come to the conclusion that they are not trying to make improvements to the adventure aspect at all. I mean they also said that sooner or later they wanted to abandon puzzles almost entirely. (Not with AAMFP of course, maybe with the secret project...?)
I'd conclude that they are instead trying to create a new genre. I'm not sure what they'd replace the puzzles with... but it has to be something, otherwise it's like you said, there are no core aspects anymore so you're just walking around like you're in Dear Esther without narration and with boxes you can fling around ^^
Maybe it will go a bit of a sandboxy-approach where you just have a relatively open, highly interactive environment in which you...faff around? It could be called the Immersionbox - genre.

I guess it could work. Like you are thrown into this world and the game just allows you to use the simple (physics?) controls given to do pretty much everything that you would naturally do in that situation...with tons of possible reactions to your actions? (For the glorious feedback loop ^^) I dunno, I'm starting to ramble, too Wink
