Custom Stories option - lizard lips - 02-10-2012
There should be a custom story option in this game. Amnesia has them, so why can't we. It would make the game much cooler to have custom stories.

No and it will never have, though it would be great if the Penumbra trilogy would get some support for it.

Not possible, because i don't think most people here would start modelling maps. Yep, you don't have a level editor for Penumbra.
RE: Custom Stories option - lizard lips - 02-12-2012
Perhaps they can make an editor.
RE: Custom Stories option - Tanshaydar - 02-13-2012
Umm, that doesn't sound logical at all.
They created HPL2, which is better than HPL1 (the engine used in making of Penumbra series) in many ways, and they started to create HPL3 a few months ago.
Why in the world they would go back to HPL1 to make a level editor, which would require massive amount of work on both editor and base engine, while HPL2 has proven itself with many mods and custom stories, and they are working on something much better as HPL3?
Another question is that, why would anyone chose Penumbra to play mods or map packs instead of Amnesia?

Penumbra shocked me on how brilliant it was while I was playing it, and so was amnesia. but not only was amnesia's story good, so was its community with the custom stories. so you never know with penumbra. I say to give it a shot.

I say source code is out there and people can make it themselves instead of passing things like amount of time needed to make it, how difficult it would be to change the source code and building a level editor for that, in fact it won't bring much money (with the possibility of 'not at all'), and outdated features of HPL1.
Only thing impossible to do with HPL2 is to bring fighting mechanics, which was only in Penumbra Overture to begin with.
Do you think it sounds logical to put HPL3 work on hiatus, while it would bring features like direct sunlight, terrain editor, new and better scripting system and much more, and let literally making any kind of game (even a car race simulator); and work on an outdated engine which won't support anything more than Amnesia(HPL2) except a clumsy fighting system.

It would be fun to play multiple penumbra CS's.
RE: Custom Stories option - TaCTiCaLxReFLeX - 02-13-2012
And if they were to make penumbra custom stories, they should make the installation process easier because ive seen many problems with the amnesia editors
Vote YESSSS penumbra would be awesome with cs
