[Darkplaces][released] The Mansion 182

[Nahuel]

Little game done in two days for a linux jam!! I added some features and windows exes a week later.


You must to kill the ghost of the haunted mansion to get ammo, weapons and health. To break crates are very useful to get stuff.

Enjoy

Soooo fun! I played for half an hour and I really enjoyed! Great work Nahuel, as always! Thinking you did in 2 days, it's even more incredible! I like the idea that ghosts are physical entities you can shoot, it's very creative imo! You even added more classes of ghost! I'd just fix firing animation (for pistol, shotgun and machine gun I don't understand if I'm firing or not) and just minor fixes with hud at fullHD resolution but, except for that, it's a real fun!

I noticed you're making another game called Dark Place, could you talk a little more about it?

Congrats!!

thank you!! hud glitch is already a menu.dat code error i did, i need to fix it!!
I think to add some features, maybe weapons animations bullet casings, etc... the game was done in two days, so important stuff was left aside

Congrats!!

the project was canceled.. The lack of proper documentation was fatal. So we left it all as a tech demo, if anyone found it useful.

Have you considered to create hud and menu sdirectly in CSQC?

Probably just shot recoil effect and more impact effect on ghosts and it's perfect. Oh my, 2 days..incredible!

What did you use for map creation? Quark? Textures and sprites made by yourself? Mansion level is really great, I had fun exploring it!:)
Does it exist a global score? I mean, there's the possibility to access to a global ranking on a server? That was an idea I had a lot of time ago and I wonder if it would have been cool. Well, playing your game I've no doubt: it's definately cool!

Whoa, too bad.. What was the argument that lacks documentation about?

i didnt consider it , i think menu.dat is really easy to use, I use csqc for HUD stuff right now.

hahhaa thanks!! yeah the game need more feedback to the player!!

Mansion is fairly inspired by resident evil1 mansion i did the textures using gimp and krita, buy I did draw the textures by hand in gimp, after this i did discover the power of krita to pixel art lame desicion, krita is great!! even for not artist people !!!

I think that is possible, but i do not have idea about

lack of design, the goal of the game is just a little slenderman clone, but the project was very little documented, the development was chaotic and there was very little feedback in the group so the project was cancelled adp is actually a tech demo IMO

Great! even texture creation in so few days! Real great work! Could you make a little tutorial about using Krita? Because I'm very curious about it!

FTE has sql (but only server-side, unfortunately) builtins functions: probably dp included them too

ah, ok

you're better off using uri_get which does exist in both fte+dp, with any sql access happening inside your webserver instead of gameserver. the extra abstraction means you have more control over the actual requests that can be made, instead of someone connecting to your database and just deleting everything. Of course, if someone is willing to spend the time generating http posts then they can spoof any scores they want, so you'll probably still want some private keys of some kind so that you can more easily provide trust in the results at some point. Then again it probably doesn't matter that much anyway, so long as noone destroys your entire sql database. yay http-based gateways.

(using mysql (required for non-local databases) inside fte requires dedicated servers and a special commandline arg to actually enable it, but sqlite is fine if you just want local-only data, better in fact as it takes muuuuch less configuration thanks to it just being a file)

Awesome channel indeed! Thanks a lot Nahuel! Krita seems really a good alternative to Photoshop for pixel art creation
Did you use a graphic pen tablet to draw The Mansion textures?
