The Surprise [UPDATED] - JawJoe - 03-17-2012 EDIT: Added link to updated version of the map containing tons of fixes and improvements Hey! I'm quite new to this whole map-making business, but I really liked Amnesia and wanted to see what I can do. It's a really simple map, I expect average completion time to be between 5 and 10 minutes (and 10 minutes is really stretching it!). Took about a week to complete, and for what it's worth, I'm really proud of it. It may not be scary, it may be buggy and short, but it's mine. Link (updated version!): http://www.mediafire.com/?2nj2usl5j4uxv7d I'd like to have some people play it and hear their thoughts. Since the map is so short and silly, I'm looking for advice more from a "design" perspective than anything. What was scary? What wasn't? What worked and what didn't? Update changelist: Spoiler below!
Screenshots: RE: The Surprise (my first map) - swapinamnesia - 03-18-2012 haha very nice map. in the beggining it was scary then at the end lol haha very nice map good job. RE: The Surprise (my first map) - Kreekakon - 03-18-2012 I really liked this map. I've played it two times, and didn't notice any big gigantic flaws so far. Also, music works just fine. My favorite parts: Super non-linear mind-f*ck gameplay FTW. There is something that bothers me a bit though: Spoiler below!
RE: The Surprise (my first map) - JawJoe - 03-19-2012 I'm glad you guys like it! Any new insight is welcome. (03-18-2012, 03:15 PM)Kreekakon Wrote: There is something that bothers me a bit though:Hmm. Spoiler below!

I went back and took a long hard look at it after watching this, and I think I managed to fix most of the problems you brought up (and what I noticed meanwhile).

I'm glad you fixed the problems and I think you did a good job, consider as your first custom story(03-23-2012, 08:22 AM)Starleafgamer Wrote:It was good seeing the map from someone else's point of view; showed me lots of flaws that I didn't even notice after spending all that time working on the map.

RE: The Surprise [UPDATED] - JMFStorm - 03-23-2012 I liked the ending very much The places were just too simple looking. You could have made them more detailed. But otherwise it was fun to play. You had some good ideas made in there! 8/10. RE: The Surprise [UPDATED] - Officer D - 03-24-2012 Ok, Mr. Man. I also gave it a LP. You had some good ideas but the level design was kind of random. I know it was ment to be like that but some placements just looked sloppy. RE: The Surprise [UPDATED] - JawJoe - 03-24-2012 (03-24-2012, 12:19 PM)Officer D Wrote: Ok, Mr. Man. I also gave it a LP.

Gameplay is exactly the same, and while the update isn't a miracle, it still cleans up lots of errors and glitches (like the weird black border on the doors), adds a picture and description at the beginning making it better / less "sloppy" / more professional looking overall. ..I don't think I fixed the book clipping through the shelf though, never noticed that before. :| At any rate, thanks for playing! Feedback is always much appreciated. These LPs are going to be some great help when (if) I start working on serious Custom Stories. Spoiler below!
