You should have something to where if your light is out for too long, that thing that's stalking you appears and kills you.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Alright everybody!  I have a question to ask all of you!  I have been implementing ammunition and I have a question.  In many FPS games, you have a certain number of bullets per clip, but when you reload without emptying a clip, the bullets you don't use somehow get magically saved instead of thrown out with the clip.  You can fire 1 bullet and then reload continuously and you will still use up all of your bullets.  Obviously this isn't realistic, but is this a preferred effect anyways?

So the question is in the Poll, save all bullets when you reload, or extra bullets get lost when you thrown out a clip?

EDIT: and yeah I can't add a poll >.< Is there some way to do that?

should be a poll thing at the bottom of this thread for you

edit: it should say 'Add Poll'. use that

and as for bullets I vote just refilling them, like in Modern Warfare, and most other shooting games, you reload your mag, and your reserves just add to your current ammo in the gun

Yay poll added ^^ And yeah that what I am thinking.  I'm just wondering if maybe it could add an interesting game element.  Be even more careful with your ammo!

Also did you catch the glimpse of your creation? >:D

Where can this "creation" be found?  (I have a feeling I know what it is...)  What chapter?  
AND
What is that thing that "eats" the guy who was hiding in chapter two?  Name?
Is it Bob?  Joe?

P.S.  Everybody do the poll!

Were you able to pick up a flare?  Your flashlight goes out but there are flares you can grab to be able to see.  And it is in chapter 4, the maintenance area.

Well that's good user info to help me get the number of flares right, seems it is universal that I need to add more flares, so that is what I will do :P

Yeah, I actually got lucky a few times with the flares by guessing where to go after I ran out. That's a brilliant part of the game though.

Why doesn't this guy just jump out a window?  ;D

Builderboy:  Why don't you add a shirt that glows in the dark?  When you walk under one of those creepy flashing lights, it could charge.  Then, it would slowly (very slowly) fade until you could find another light.  Also, I convinced saintrunner to change the sprite for his creation.  Don't get too attached to the current...  thing.

but it was really really fun and scary :o nice game!


Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

This hospital is many floors high!  Jumping out of a window would be extremely difficult :P Not to mention not many windows have been encountered so far.  A glowing shirt might work, or at least a very faint glow around the character.  I am also going to add a bunch more flares, I think nobody realized you can break one of the first boxes you see to get an extra flare, and that one turns out to be very useful XD

And I can't wait to see the new sprite for the creation :) Has anybody caught a glimpse of the current one?

You can press L + 0 to jump right to the part where your flashlight dies if that helps :) Glad you are liking it!
