Nightmare
« on: October 23, 2010, 04:12:38 pm »
This is my secret project i have been working on for the past few weeks.  Nightmare.  Inspired by the half life 2 mod, Nightmare House 2, it takes many elements from the horror game.  PLay the Demo at

http://greenfootgallery.org/scenarios/2017

And experience Nightmare for yourself! :D Controls are WASD to move and E to interact, using the mouse to look around.  The engine features a neat shadow casting routine so that your light actually casts shadows across the terrain.  Code is written so that objects also cast shadows although none have been inserted into the game at this point.

The game also features a very cool Scripting engine that i developed especially for this game.  I can write code in Text files and compile them from inside the game and execute them, and they are responsible for much of the world creation, object interaction, and scripted events.  I am very proud of my scripting engine and i hope to talk more about it! ^^

Nice to see it revealed. I thought your secret project was a calc project you've been working on with Eeems since May/June tho? ??? Regardless, it seems nice. I wish I could try it now x.x

Is it based on an engine you posted a while ago? I remember you showed me an engine with shadows and that stuff

That is a separate secret project :P It seems i have two XD

And yeah its also inspired by that previous scenario, plus a flash game called Neverending Light.  Also it should be working on the Gallery now, although it runs too fast for me, i forgot to limit the speed x.x i'm fixing that but for now you should be able to play it :)

Yeah i have a special trigger in my scripting engine that can detect if you are looking at something, and when you don't, it flips things around >:D

What was everybodies favorite part?

Ok tried it now and it looks awesome :D

I didn't get far yet, though, because I got stuck in a room with chairs on the floor (the door got locked behind me). Will there be stuff like at the end of the scary maze flash prank? :P

That is absurdly cool.
Can I port this to the Xbox 360 for you, so you can sell it on XBLM?
