Worst custom story I've ever played.
^I fully agree.


I have to disagree with almost every person who has posted about this. They have all said it was really great, 10/10, but more scares and longer.

...No.

[Rant]The map was very badly mapped, there were texture glitches everywhere, there was barely any detail (which there should have been an excessive amount, given how short it was) and the scares were very forced, and you knew they were coming. Also, you could have skipped almost all of the scares by jumping over the railings on the stairs. This custom story is not good, and Asphex, don't let people tell you that this is what you need in a good custom story. It's not, the majority of the audience wants an excellent atmosphere, 100% immersion, and good mapping. They want puzzles, and a feeling called "true fear". You didn't execute any of these points in this custom story. A few of the "forum regulars" posted about this CS, and they were the ones who said it was terrible, because, it was. Please, if you work on a longer version of this map, at least work on your mapping. AT LEAST. Even if this map had perfect mapping, it would still be the worst one I've played; and I've played a lot. Perfectly legitimate/honest score: 2/10 (1 for trying/succeeding to make something like a CS, and 1 for posting it on the forums.)[/Rant]

Sorry, if I sound harsh, but it's the truth.
I think I can hide behind the fact that this was my first custom story and since I didn't/don't have the knowledge at the moment I made this, I MYSELF am quite proud of my "creation". Sure, there are people who will not like it and so on.. atm I'm working on a bigger project and I'm taking notice of all the feedback I have gathered so far. + it was called v1.0 for a reason. Mostly, I think you're right, because I myself see that it is short and the scares are obvious, but I gave myself a permission to use SCP as a template for "basics" on custom story making f.e. scripting, mapping (altough I didn't know about the 0.001 trick at the time) and so on. So yes, I am a newb. But you see, I'll keep on progressing, because I appreciate all the feedback, and use it and take notice of it. Oh and I didn't kind of aim for any kind of audience. I just did what I had in mind at the moment, tried to get hold of the HPL level editor, then tought I could release it here. Smile Asphex out, peace.
