Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

Hello, fellow members. My name is... is... I am Stian Ovesen. I have been playing Frictional Games' Amnesia for a couple of months now, and have gone through all the content several times. Im amazed over how good this game is, and I would say its the best game I have played. The story, music and architecture is perfect and it really made my experience top-notch. The physics in the game is so-so, but since that has nothing to do with this thread I will just leave it at that.

After playing through the game all those times I have made up my mind. I am going to write a book about the storyline of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The book will follow Daniel, of course, and I will try to write it so it wont omit any of the content. There will most likely be some puzzles or parts I wont use (the 3 rods in the machineroom comes to mind). Im looking forward to working on this and hope that you guys are as excited as I am, although I am happy if you care at all.

If you want to cantact me, wether it's about ideas, motivating words or just mocking me for doing this. If there is ANYTHING you want to talk to me about you can contact me on my e-mail down below.

If you want to keep track of the project I will be posting progression on my twitter and possibly create a blog.

Sounds sweet! Can't wait to read it!

I'll be interested to see how you handle the depictions of the insanity meter effects.

Oh and how Daniel can carry over a hundred tinderboxes.

All I can say is God speed, man. This sounds really interesting and I can only hope it comes out great! Best of luck!

I have had some problems in the preparations, like how Daniel is going to get all the notes or how he could carry 20+ flasks of oil. I have come up with the solutions to it, but wont spoil it here!

Edit: I will also try to post ~1 page from each chapter as I write.

This seems very promising, I'll definitely be watching this. For such a huge project, I would recommend getting tons of proofreaders/testers though, friends, family, random people on the internet, anybody who can give some good insight. I would volunteer myself if I wasn't already really busy with school, work AND proofreading Fomzo's stories

I work in a film-crew so I have some guys to proofread for me, since some of them are working with scriptwriting and story creation on a daily basis.

On the carrying items issue, personally I always just imagined Daniel had a satchel of some sort (or at least found one along the way) to carry all his stuff because yeah, how does one stuff 36 tinder boxes in one's pocket? Plus those bags are easy to run with! Whatever you come up with though good luck! I can't wait to see these sneak peeks!

Good luck!
