Haha, I love stuff like this.

 

It's not quite the same, but I spent loads of time in Deus Ex: Invisible War just doing stupid things like going to the airport and throwing every object I could find behind the receptionist's desk. AIs would seem to ignore objects and so she would wade back and forth among a sea of junk with a deadpan expression locked into her face.

 

"Hello sir, how may I help you?" as bins and cups jiggle around her waistline.

 

This is more creative though. Well done.  ;)

Someone should totally make a "reverse haunted house" map where your goal is to lure some people into the house, seal them in, and creep around in the shadows using your stealth skills to torment them with spooky goings-on. It would be a mandatory "ghosting" mission, of course. Pun fully intended.

 

Objectives: Rack up a certain amount of "scariness points" (gained by pulling pranks and so on). Don't get spotted for certain, since that will ruin everything. First-level "what was that?" alerts gain you points, however (up to a point - you can't win the mission just by causing mutters, but you can maybe skip one or two traps if you cause enough mutters). And don't kill or KO anyone, because then the city watch will get involved and you want to keep people away. Just scare the bejesus out of them so they don't come back!

 

I'm sure there's a simple plot that can be used to justify that. Prevent an old mansion from getting sold so you can continue to camp out in it without paying rent. The main character could be a freaky old dude. It'd be great. :D

 

Oh, and of course it would definitely have to be released on Halloween. Which means you have five days. Get building! :evil:

That was actually a contest mission, The Haunting IIRC

LOL. Fail. There truly is nothing original under the sun! :laugh: Be nice to go back and play all those Thief FMs I've missed over the years.

U can make a small invisible segment behind the pot, when the door opens it hits the segment and it falls over on his head. if u adjust the weight it could kill him, or make a anvil or something.

      Hey @nbohr1morehow come the zombies in The Dark Mod don't have a "resurrection" mechanic to it, similar to how Thief has it?
      They're quite a weak creature as of right now, it's merely a walking corpse that slashes you, making attacking them to kill them an actual strategy.
      Would be better if they had some cool mechanism to it that truly makes them a danger, such as the resurrection idea itself.

      Query: when was the last time a zombie in a video game was unnerving or scary to you? I'm chipping away at my anniversary submission and I've been trying to gather opinions on the subject. I'm perfectly capable of lighting them well, changing their sfx, and creating effective ambience, but I'm worried that zombies at their core are just too overdone to be an effective payoff to the tension I'm creating.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.
