Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

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.

Pictures please?
