Slender Man Source mod will let you scare the hell out of yourself with friends. - Polidicks

PC Gamer article: [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/26/slender-man-source-mod-will-let-you-scare-the-hell-out-of-yourself-for-free-with-friends/[/url] [quote] [img]http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2012/07/Slender-Source.jpg[/img] Remember the Slender Man game we mentioned a couple of weeks back? It’s a terrifying indie horror based on the spooky Something Awful monster. You had to wander through a dark forest with a pale torch hunting for messages while trying not to look directly at the creature. It’s scary as hell. GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY, a different team are creating a version of Slender Man in Valve’s Source engine. Fittingly, it’s called Slender Source, and this one will let you avoid a horrifying death with friends. Yaay! [B]It’s a work-in-progress deal at the moment[/B], but the bare bones are in place. Here’s the challenge: “[B]Players must work together to collect a certain amount of creepy dolls all while trying to avoid the abomination that is the Slenderman.[/B] The kick? No weapons.” Sadly, nobody has ever invited me into the woods to collect creepy dolls before, but if they did I’m pretty sure I’d say “hell yes BRING THE SCARES,” which probably makes me that guy who dies horribly at the start of every horror movie. Thankfully, games like Slender Man, Slender: Source, Hide and SCP Containment Breach give us the chance to experience those scares without, y’know, the dismemberment. You can keep an eye on how the Half-Life 2 mod is progressing over on ModDB. Here’s an early screenshot showing the wooded environment, which is one of two planned for release. The other will be set in an abandoned hospital. [img]http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2012/07/Slender-Source-610x457.png[/img] [/quote] And that's all she wrote. Not sure if it belongs here because its gaming news, so if a mod feels its in the wrong area please move it.

That screenshot looks really bad.

There's already a [url=http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/05/slender-man-game-released-scare-the-hell-out-of-yourself-for-free/]Slender Man game[/url], wonder if this can beat it

that screenshot is the work of 5 minutes

slender man's stupid

[QUOTE=simkas;36944607]Did you even read the article? They specifically mentioned it.[/QUOTE] The funny thing is I did read the article and decided to post it anyway, I don't know what I was thinking

[QUOTE=kevlar jens;36944629]slender man's stupid[/QUOTE] no u Slender Man has yet to be properly represented on film and in a game. Everyone just rips off Marble Hornets version dubbed The Operator

Maybe. In popularity? Doubt it. People I know who have never heard of Slenderman and aren't avid gamers have downloaded and played Slender. Most of these people aren't going to own a Source game to begin with.

On they're moddb page [quote]That's right! You can help with the production of Slenderman, and it's fairly simple. All you need to do is model us a character model for the Slenderman which is animated. We already have maps being designed, and code being written, as well as props being made, and even music being composed. All we need is someone to get us their own creation of the Slenderman, references images will be added to this post. The first three people to submit a model of their Slenderman will be put on a list for people being accepted into the beta testing. So, we hope everyone is interested in what we're trying to do![/quote] :suicide:

Way to go, ideas guy

YES

And TF2 is free so anyone would be able to access the mod.

It would need to [I]greatly [/I]surpass Slender to motivate them to go through the effort.

They're not idea guys... they only need a Slenderman model, everything else is being done.

Why do they need help to model slenderman? It's a stretched humanoid with no face, and it's not like rigging it would even be difficult.

[quote]with friends.[/quote] Co-op kills horror. How many times does someone have to fuck up a game with this concept before people realize it's a dumb idea.

[QUOTE=Thlis;36945794]Co-op kills horror.

It can actually be quite terrifying trying to escape an unstoppable or nearly unstoppable juggernaut even when you're with pals.

Neither game makes slenderman look at all scary, and it really bothers me, because once you focus and look at him you realize how stupid he looks.

[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;36945835]It can actually be quite terrifying trying to escape an unstoppable or nearly unstoppable juggernaut even when you're with pals.[/QUOTE] Quite possibly, but I have yet to see it. I'll probably try this but I doubt I could get excited for it.

[QUOTE=legolover122;36944792]"You can help, we need people to do everything!" *sigh* this either isn't going to get released or will be terrible.[/QUOTE] What the fuck are you on about. Did you miss the "We already have maps being designed, and code being written, as well as props being made, and even music being composed." What in there shows that there is one ideas man. Come on
