Baby Garrett?


Macsen

Recommended Posts

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. :ph34r:

 

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? :D

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 :smile:.

 

Re the video: anyone else have a Cradle flashback about 0.35? :o

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.

@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.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
