Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[GrAVit]

Well I might be wrong, but it felt like the monsters in amnesia even had a special shader on them that made them easier to see in the dark...or maybe the lighting was different on them or whatever, my point is that I can't remember a point in the game were the monster was completely invisible because of the darkness. And I'm sure that was intentional on Frictionals side, so maybe they tested the game with complete darkness and found problems with that? Maybe the player died too often when he couldn't see the monster approaching and that took away the fear?

Still, I like the idea with the darkening of shadows while you're looking at a light. Not sure how that would be possible but it sounds like a neat idea. (maybe some sort of post processing...)

Well... not really no.

I was thinking the lantern would be rectangular in shape and it has this oval or circle convex lens on the front.

Like this?

Sort of... Just less Fancy stuff.

I'll draw a sketch later.

You must mean the bullseye lantern, there's one in Killings in Alstadt.

Yes i agree with the candle idea haha but it would be hard to picture it.. like how would it look? what would you need to refill? i think a lantern would be better. And a flashlight? nah that would just make it feel weird 0__e Better keep it classy

Yeah almost like that one, but in my imagination it would be like a rectangular box with flat glass on the three other sides and that circular convex glass piece on the front.

lantern pwns flashlight.

but candle pwns lantern.



*we should use machine guns to light up the rooms!

Technically, we have a clean logo from the site. It is not a problem to make a vector of it and most likely someone did that. So all you need is to render vector into appropriate printable file and then make your own custom t-shirt. There is a lot of online-services that let you do that.

I'd much rather prefer a different method of lighting, such as us being able to actually carry the damn candles for once, have them be part of the environment rather than being a game mechanic.

I voted flashlight, but I would prefer carrying candles and other light sources like this.

[samueljustice00]

Yeah, instead of saying "Development Team", it needs to say "Deranged Lunatic".

I'd buy that.

You probably don't care, but that comment made my day in so many wondrous ways.

We were going to have something along those lines.. or some more jokes (which I can't reveal for spoilers sake)

[cantremember]

I voted fleshlight too, to keep Daniel you know.. company.. in the dark.
