Improved Piggies Mod Idea

[Doomed316]

Greetings!

So as most of you probably already know, a lot of people are disappointed by Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs. The most major reason for this in my opinion was because of the reduced scare factor, which was not what we were really expecting since this is an Amnesia title.

As I've said before, I believe part of the reason the scare factor was reduced was because of the lack of stalking/chase music. To me, that is crucial for a tense encounter. Look at Outlast. The enemies are nothing special, yet when that music plays I panic and all my thoughts are replaced by one. "Oh shit!" is a pretty accurate representation.

Another factor is the amount of damage a monster can do and how fast they move. These IMO can drastically change how much you're scared of of them. A good example of this is the Grunt and the Brute.

So, here's my preposition. What if someone/group of people came up with a mod that adds/enhances monsters and their encounters? I'm not too good with modding, but I'm willing to bet if someone could script music to the monsters, add more encounters (+possibly more hiding places) in the level editor, and tweak their stats, it would be a much scarier game.

Thoughts?

I would imagine just adding the tense high pitched chase music to the pigs giving chase. That would make you run like hell. I also heard the high pitched music from TDD would arrive in in a remixed or modified version of this game but I have not heard it once. I myself might just try to port TDD music to A:AMFP just for the sake of intensifying the monster encounters. Music is really what made the monsters scary. I think this game isn't as balanced between horror and story as I expected (the TDD wasn't balanced either with its horror over story aspect but that's the only reason why I bought the game). I like the idea of creating a interesting story but at least the scares worth an encounter. I seriously replayed the whole game and I wasn't scared at all. I played through TDD and was still scared even after my first play through. Sadly this game isn't getting mod support which bummed me out (I still bought it though).
