I created the moddb mod page but not yet validated. Here some screenshots from it.

Is it a map with a lot of jump scares? They aren't my cup of tea, so I don't want to have to download it if it is.

Does the name "The Haunted House of The Dead" tell you anything?

I am going to name my story something like that now just so that what you said isn't always true. This story may be an exception to what you said, but I'd like the OP to tell me before I download it.
It looks really good for now Mister!
U do a good job there with some good scripting!
Like the map so far, even tho it is really empty!
Make sure to build it more full and tak ur time! TAKE UR TIME!
Gr,
Lange.
Pictures looking okay only one thing: Don't add those dungeon torches in "mansionbase areas" it looks silly in my opinion.

I'll try this now and give feedback then.

EDIT: I enjoyed it, it was good.

Feedback:
Spoiler below!


I know it's wip project, but there is nothing unique scares or something special so far. Mapping was okay, no bugs or clipping walls.

Couple old scares pick up the note and monster cames behind and monster behind the door. Take your time and think something new and unique scares what no one has never maded or tried to do.

Use billboards too.. creates atmosphere better and environment and good feeling to play and build good lightning not too bright or dark.

Overall it's good and you should continue it and remember these advices is only to help you and make even better and better story, but that takes time to learn every day something new, don't rush it.



Good luck Smile
Tank you fir your first comments.

Once again it's my first story and it's also my first scripting experience.

For now I mastered the most basic scripting (items callback, entities callback for trigger scripts, timer, prop impulse, playing sounds, ...) but the rest will come in time, I'll learn about using the chipper and hammer and other stuffs.

About scary events, I'll try to work further on them.
I'm moving this to the development section, the showcase is only for FINISHED projects.
