Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Cranky Old Man]

1) I don't see a poll.
2) There is already a thread called something like The Next Amnesia Game.

[Kein]

This one I guess:
[www.nextfrictionalgame.com] Amnesia Discussion

This is the poll, though, so whatever. Lesse how it goes.

Story of course. Atmosphere is pretty useless if you don't have an interesting story driving it forward.

[Rapture]

Add a choice for more Prop Assests for us Modders.

All of the choises? It wouldn't be amnesia without it.

I was tempted to say jumpscare custom story cause I'm stoopid just for the lulz of it all

but if you have a good story but a terrible way to visualy present it... it will turn out to be boring and people won't give the needed attention to it!

While it is important to have a visual style that accurately represents it, a good story can make up for a lot of shortcomings related to gameplay and graphics. I don't really agree that it is necessarily going to be boring, because graphics are really just something that can make a good game better. A boring game with good graphics is much worse than that.

I'm hoping that this game will scare me as much as Amnesia: TDD did when I first played it. Maybe i'll find a bag of milkyways again.

The graphics for amnesia were pretty good imo, and the developers for AMFP have said that they're going to do a lot of work on upping the graphics so it should be good
