Penumbra Goes Open Source - Games

[QUOTE=Rubs10;21982438]No. I hate how common the side pop-ups have become that tell you who died from who.[/QUOTE] I agree. It would add suspense, not knowing if your buddy has made it and relying on him to have made it.

While we're talking about Penumbra, in Overture, where do I find the fuse for the Death Mix? I'd have thought I'd have come across it on the way but I haven't, I'm not sure if I'm to make it or pick it up somewhere. Halp plox. NVM. found it, didn't look hard 'nuff. rate box for stupidity.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;21980016] - you can only talk to eachother when you are close to the other - when the other die´s you can not see that he died yes or no Shall post pics when i got some results[/QUOTE] oh god yes

Amazing things can be done!

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;21978918]This. I have 3 other friends that I have LAN's with quite often and finding many co-op games with 4 players is a bitch, there are just so many 2 player ones.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this is the problem with more and more games these days

[QUOTE=acds;21956719]Even better, a dungeon-master style scenario.[/QUOTE] I wish all games had a DM mode, I really really do.

[QUOTE=Axznma;21993478]I wish all games had a DM mode, I really really do.[/QUOTE] As A DnD player, I fully support this.

Black Plague was very freaky.

Okay, what ideas should I add to the OP?

[QUOTE=darth-veger;21980016]Alright. Basic idea: max 2 players, the levels of the game needs to be edited for more players but i still need to recreate the scripted events. i shall try to add the guns with the co op. - you can only talk to eachother when you are close to the other - when the other die´s you can not see that he died yes or no - i shall try to add guns to the co op version - Beta? why not. shall be launched soon - and i shall try to add a level or 2 extra in it (dunno if that is gonna work) Shall post pics when i got some results[/QUOTE] Good luck, didn't find any network code. But I did find promising layers of abstraction, so it wouldn't be impossible to have co-op. There's very little documentation on this, and little to no comments in the source.

The Penumbra series is the only series that has made me truly feel fear in a video game.

the game is not really made for network games like MultiPurpose said. but i will start with 2 players. if it works fine i shall add more players to it

Adding guns would completely ruin this in my opinion.

[QUOTE=PieClock;22008189]Adding guns would completely ruin this in my opinion.[/QUOTE] I agree. The fact that you have limited weaponry is one of the things that makes this game scary as fuck.

[QUOTE=Foda;21946221]lol, it's just physx...[/QUOTE] Newton. This is why you don't post something programming related in games discussion

[QUOTE=darth-veger;22001738]the game is not really made for network games like MultiPurpose said. but i will start with 2 players. if it works fine i shall add more players to it[/QUOTE] Uh, what? Are you putting in network code? Do you even know what you're doing?
