Title: Hey C-Zom, I got a chance to play that White Night mod you beta tested.
Post by: Kenneth Kenstar on October 22, 2011, 07:11:47 pm
Unless there are other C-Zoms

I bet not though.

Just finished it actually.

Is there multiple endings?

Nope just one. I thought the ending kinda sucked, but the symbolism is very easy to get.

sup EL

also its not spoilers its within the first opening sequence, the game is in past tense. there is no "twist" beyond your character having amnesia then breaking out of it to realize what you know from the very beginning

Are you sure it's even that?

Because, if so, then I'm really disappointed.

From the beginning, I felt like his wife being dead is implied, but...



SPOILERS















...I also thought the last parts of the story were implying that you checked your wife into a mental ward, slowly you started to not love your wife anymore, and on the last visit, she and her alternate personality or something take over the hospital


Man, fuck this shit. The only thing I liked were the visuals.

The puzzles were awful. And almost every time I came across a puzzle, I have no fucking idea what to do because they don't hint anything at all.

I didn't use a walkthrough for Amnesia and I got the best ending. This wasn't an accomplishment, they purposely designed the game to be something that isn't a video game...it's more of an interactive story.

Unfortunately, this mod plays like an unfinished Silent Hill and not like Amnesia. These games should not be about fucking puzzles. It should be about slowly revealing the story.

The visuals are amazing. It is definitely Jacob's Ladder and Session 9 inspired. I would rank it above Amnesia itself in terms of visuals.

But, my god, I can't tell you how many times I wasted 30 minutes to an hour walking back in forth somewhere and then desperately searching the comment section for the mod for advice.

The Piano Puzzle wasn't that bad, but the box puzzle with the buttons was awful. I didn't even get stuck on it, but only because I was lucky to see the rope on the painting. Otherwise, I would have been searching the FAQs.

How about the hammer on the wall? Again, luck was the only reason I didn't get stuck there.

How about the outside hallway where you break an iron bar and beat down a door?

You break an iron bar...

...to beat down a door.

Eh.

By the way, it's hard to be afraid of anything in a game when I'm constantly stressed or annoyed at aspects of the game.

And yeah, I hated the ending, too.

But, the guy has a fucking awesome talent for visuals. Maybe next time he tries this endeavor, he has someone else come up with puzzles and such. Someone who has the Amnesia mindset to them.




Oh, and he should go back and drop that line in the credits about his ex. Good fucking god, as if I hated enough about the mod already, he even makes me groan in embarrassment at the fucking credits.

Wow, that does look interesting. I don't have Crysis unfortunately, and I've never played it.

But, I have seen a lot of videos of Crysis and you definitely changed the atmosphere completely.

I do have one machine that should be able to play it. Maybe I'll pirate it one day and give this a go one day.

Is it finished?
Title: Re: Hey C-Zom, I got a chance to play that White Night mod you beta tested.
Post by: C-zom on October 25, 2011, 06:28:59 am
Yeah it's completely finished, both parts are done and I've moved on to other projects. It certainly is not hard to run, I optimized the hell out of it.  It's about half as intensive to run as regular Crysis levels.

Wow...

Yeah, I thought y'all meant it was one of those games with deep thought throughout and then it just bombed it at the end. Like... Oh it turns out it was this random alien that killed her.

I hate typical set-ups though :/
