The Machine

[Statyk]

I'll give it a quick run. So far, I'm jumping more than I usually do with CSs... XD Great scares so far!

---

I'll post what I have as I play and edit as I find anything. I will add "Finished" at the end so you may know when I am not adding anything else.

Bugs/tips as I play:

Spoiler below!

Most of it is cosmetic, but necessary...

1) When you find Lord Jamesson's corpse, when you go to leave, I can interact with some unknown area in the doorway. It doesn't do anything, but a "pickup" icon appears on screen.

2) Perhaps have the flashback in the dining hall match the fadeout of the audio. it would be smoother to have the player revert back to normal as the audio ends. NOT have the audio end, THEN have the flashback end, understand?

3) A landing on the dining hall does not reach the wall (see attachment 1)

4) The billboard in the winery/kitchen(?) is a bit unnatural. Add some more in varying angles.

5) The drawer in the hallway connecting the dining hall to Lord Harrison's office doesn't have anything in it and drawers don't normally reside in hallways. Maybe take it out and put a "round_table" next to the chair instead.

6) There's a window wall at the end of the hallway. It doesn't fit the theme of the rest of the hallway... Maybe just switch to the burgundy window wall instead. (see attachment 2)

7) Spotlights from above where the railings are are coming through the floor, into the hallway. Add something to block the light perhaps. (see attachment 3)

8) I was able to stack boxes up in the kitchen to climb up to the "green vent"... There's no texture up there so I'm assuming I shouldn't be up there. Maybe add a texture, or blockboxes, or just remove the whole thing in general unless it's necessary to the story. I don't know where I'm supposed to be going after I got the hollow needle, so I figured that was my way. It is a game programmers technique to add lights in dark areas to draw the players attention, which this did, especially because the light was a mysterious green. But now I'm out of oil and lost.

9) Speaking of oil... Add some boxlights around the map or large pointlights with dim colors to light up the mansion more. If a lightsource exists in a room, there is going to be light PRETTY far, whether its dim or not. The map is really dark and I had to always have my lantern out. a map can still be dark, but JUST light enough so people don't have to over-consume their oil.

10) Welders should be placed at the bottom of the curving staircase to the basement.

11) The billboards at the window in the staircase are unnatural. Add more and fix the one as it is set to "Point", not "FixedAxis" and it is following the character as I move.

12) Not sure where the falling Large Cogs came from that blocked the doorway back into the mansion >> Maybe I wasn't paying attention.

13) The other pipe needed to open the bulk heads is not attaching to the other broken pipe on the wall. Am I doing something wrong, or is the map ending here for now? (see attachment 4)

~~ Finished(?)

~~~~ Please reply so that I may finish if something is wrong here.
