Nightmare Fortress - All of you -VS- All of THEM - Games

[video=youtube;OQM6DrA2Lek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQM6DrA2Lek[/video] Hey guys, long time no talk. I've been working on a project with MaxOfS2D and Neox. I could go on for hours what it'll be about, but right now I'm still toying with the idea, so I'd like to know what [b]you[/b] make out of the entire deal. This is a server plugin in closed beta development, but it'll go public once I feel that it's finished work.

There are a lot more to come. From left to right: Teagineer, the Dollmaker, Uberblob, The Snowman and roses. And before anyone points it out, yes this is heavily influenced by Alice: Madness Returns. Although I'd recommend you do not purchase said game as it is awful. Thanks! I'll make sure to post updates here as I make progress. (Note: The axe in the above video was a bug and it has been fixed)

Holy shit... That looks awesome

Seems nice.

That looks awesome! Can't wait to test it out

I'd like to see that teagineer thing in action.

This looks interestin' How do the roses work?

aw they're so cute :3

Is it like Nazi zombies in that its endless waves, or is it normal gamemodes where the nightmares show up every now and again?

Looks nice but I hope it doesn't turn into what vs Saxton Hale turned into

What's wrong with vs Saxton Hale?

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;33676021]What's wrong with vs Saxton Hale?[/QUOTE] Meme characters such as vagineer, christian brutal sniper, etc.... ?

Well, I'm not bothered by memes. And they have their own rage powers so it's fun to fight them.

lol awesome

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;33676021]What's wrong with vs Saxton Hale?[/QUOTE] Nothing. But this isn't VS Saxton Hale.

Holy shit that's creepy. And fucking awesome.

Can we currently find the snowman in the HLMV? I found a Pyro one with tiny t-rex arms, and thats not the one I wish to find. Oops, never mind, i found out how to make him all streached

Is there going to be a SLAG server dedicated for this or is it another gamemode for the gamemode servers? [editline]11th December 2011[/editline] Also i've always wanted something like this, improving on the "boss-battles" that is.

I'd love it if more "mistakes" like the snowman were to be added. [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22370734/f96ae20c.png[/t] (originally done by Sparkwire afaik) It's the kind of Meta that makes horror a bit more immersive, and accidents can lead to some pretty creative designs alien and repulsive to the human mind. They are often also directly located in the Uncanny Valley, like it's doing a terrible job at trying to be human. Dollmaker Scout for example is clearly non-human and doesn't even try, so he's more boring to me than the other characters. And I haven't played The Binding of Isaac but these "monstrosities" modelers purge have always reminded me of aborted mutants. If you google the victims of uranium ammunition over in Afghanistan you'll see what I mean. I like the idea and mod so far tho. Just don't make the filter such a vibrant purple/pink, it looks like Barbie-O-Vision. Maybe desaturate or outright darken it, but usually such effects should stem from the level design of course. I think Nightmare House 2 had a small overlay that darkened the edges if you want to check that out for inspiration (Free HL2:Ep2 mod).

I do agree with you though, more human like figures I find the freakiest.

Oh god yes the Demothing. Do it. [t]http://halloween.tf2mods.net/images/demothing.png[/t]

Holy lovecraftian Horrors, this looks amazing. I can't wait to play it I hope that this doesn't end up like vs saxton hale: Most of the time everyone camps on a corner behind a sentry and hale can't do shit because of te knockback (unless he uses rage)

I think it would be way better if you used original models rather than what looks like edited ports from that Alice game. They just don't fit the art style at all and I think that detracts from the overall presentation. Parkour Fortress had the same problem where everything looked like a cheap imitation of Mirror's Edge rather than simply being inspired by it. There are plenty of talented modders in the Emporium who would love to be involved in a project like this if you just ask.

I'd love to have better models but unfortunately that'd be more time-consuming than I want it to be. [editline]11th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Maruhai;33676814]Oh god yes the Demothing. Do it. [t]http://halloween.tf2mods.net/images/demothing.png[/t][/QUOTE] I'd be very interested in including this. Who made it?

Holy shit, guys. When Mecha and Max get together, the possibilities are endless. I eagerly await to see what this mod is like. Also, who is Neox? What does he do? (Pardon me for not knowing, I'm sure if he's working on this project that he's competent in whatever he does)
