http://www.penumbra-overture.com/game.php?q=overture/game.htmHas anyone else played this? I played the old tech demo ages ago and thought it was pretty cool. Looking forward to the new game in a few days :)
Yes, it looks great. And it's Swedish Indie craftmansship as well :D
Videos look good. Reminds me of Alone in the Dark.
I would like to see a game like this utilize a kind of cheapo home video camera effect. Example:
Waning: Scary video ->
Barton MansionThat would make the game scarier!
It's quite nice to play actually. There was a tech demo released last year which can be downloaded somewhere on their site. No fighting in the tech demo tho you do get chased by some of the nasties.
I was planning to make a horror game at some point. After playing Penumbra, I feel quite inspired to make a similar game using physics to add interaction.
I like the site you linked to, I can't see the video tho for some reason. Photos look kinda cool tho.
Apparently the puzzles and interaction is interesting, but the 'getting chased by a wolf' bits are rubbish.
I like the interaction with the physics. That will be my goal for my game when I get around to it. I don't like not been able to fight off enemies tho and I would rather have zombies like in resident evil etc. The story is quite interesting too...
I got some kind of strange ghosting effect when i turn around, can see ghosts of the portholes etc that move independently from the scenery.
Im guessing a filter or something is causing this. (Radeon mobility 9x, centrino 1.9ghz)
Det ser ut inte så bra :(
