Macsen Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) This game, 'Among the Sleep', seems like a nice idea: 'Among the Sleep is a first person horror adventure, in which you play a two year old child. After being put to bed at night, mystical things will happen.' From wat I can see in the above video, the idea of crawling around as a vulnerable baby in a world of giants seems to add an extra element of tepridation to the game. I wonder if it might be a good idea to create a Dark Mod mission from the point of view of an infant? A prequel starring 'Baby Garrett' perhaps?

simplen00b Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Low-angle point-of-view is apparently fairly common in horror films as it forces the viewer into a child-like (and therefore helpless) frame of mind. (That's the theory according to something I remember Robert McKee saying about Alien anyway - there's loads of low-angle stuff, especially in the opening sequence apparently, but I haven't seen it recently so can't say for sure.) If it's true, we're sort of half-way there with 'crouch' mode . Re the video: anyone else have a Cradle flashback about 0.35? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarg Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 That gave me a heavy Amnesia feeling but even worse, because it was a "familiar" setting... I don't want to go anywhere near it, which means I'll probably get it and scare the pants off myself like I did with Amnesia.

Macsen Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 The mission could be called... 'The Cradle'! I'm sure that name hasn't been used before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demagogue Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 @Komag. Daww... I like how excited he looks in that action pose he's in. On the topic, I scripted a few Dark Mod missions with these kinds of alt sneaking ideas. I thought about the perspective of animals, either predator or prey, and I think an infant would be in that neighborhood. But I think I'd rather be a mouse or cat so I could really skedaddle when I had to. Being a crawling baby for a whole mission might get plodding, unless it were constructed just for the atmosphere, that could be pretty cool, just not as much for a stealth mission I think, or it'd be a pretty slow & tactical one.
