Belphegor [On hold - 2nd Demo out!] (Video is up!) - Acies - 02-10-2011

====== My first story - don't expect awesomeness ==========
Hello! This is my first custom story and it was mostly meant to be something to scare my friends with.

Videos of playthrough!

Playtime:
For me, rushing through - 35 minutes.
For you, as a first timer player? 1+ hour.

Story and gameplay:
You are working for "Herr Engelbreicht", who lives in a large mansion. Something happens, which forces you to explore the mansion. As the story progresses you will learn certain rituals which you may chant at certain places, allowing you to "use magic" (teleport for example). (I intend to implement more rituals in the final story.)

Pictures:

Something which may ruin gameplay a little: If you die, please load from latest autosave.

Map includes:
- Custom sounds
- Custom music
- Scares
- Some innovative ideas:
+ A monster which follows where you have been
+ "A friend" accompanying you
+ Some new types of puzzles
+ Rituals

Custom story:

This is is Version 2. Watch me progressively become a better mapper/scripter throughout my map!

RE: Belphegor [Preview] - Sel - 02-10-2011

Link directly to the pictures, that just links me to a folder that doesn't exist (because it's sending me to my dropbox)

RE: Belphegor [Preview] - Kurton - 02-10-2011

So far I see many, many inconsistencies in construction, namely a lack of much-needed welders at corners, some upside-down spotlights, and, my personal "favorite," overlapping wall-pieces. :\

I am also stuck, trying to get you that wine. :3 (And yes, that DropBox gallery link works now)

RE: Belphegor [Preview] - Acies - 02-10-2011

Yes, Area2 has much needed fixing. Started by placing floors, then walls - which made for some really bad overlapping. I will try to fix things up a little, asap (not right now tho).

Regarding the wine: what part are you stuck at?

RE: Belphegor [Preview] - Kurton - 02-10-2011

Spoiler below!
I got the hammer (which was, um, standing upright on its handle... ._. ) and the wine from the shelf by the chest and the now-headless armor suit, then happened upon that locked door where a mumbly fellow requested I serve him some wine.

But I am just bad at puzzle games, so...

Wine Quest:
Spoiler below!
A note in the wineroom tells you that Engelbreicht plans to kill you. In the room with the hammer there is also a bottle of acid. For where to serve, refer to mementos.

Need some sleep now. Will try to fix welders etc when I wake up.

RE: Belphegor [Preview] - thomsone - 02-10-2011

Spoiler below!
I cant find that bottle of acid and I try it 4 times (I mean restart custom story) Sad
Anyway your custom story looks very good , keep up good work.Wink

RE: Belphegor [Preview] - Acies - 02-10-2011

Noticed my latest mapfix accidentally hid a key, which opens the chest in the wineroom. Download again for a functional story!
The spoiler contains full information on solving the wine quest:
Spoiler below!
Pick up the acid in the room where you find the hammer. Pick up the wine in the wineroom. Combine both to produce a mix of acid and wine. Serve that mix in the dining hall. Return to your room. Then return and look by the dining place...

Acies
