My Mod Idea

#1

I thought of a mod kind of similar to Portal. It’s a puzzle mod with some fighting. You are in an old broken-down haunted mansion full of traps and dead ends. You can press a button to temporarily turn the mansion back into what it looked like in its prime. Kind of like this: Go to about 1:08. You have to use this ability to get past all kinds of puzzles and help you fight enemies a lot like this. And maybe you can have some telekinesis abilities to make things more interesting.

So what do you guys think?

sounds like Soul Reaver.

Or ocarina of time.

Mostly soul reaver though.

But yes, I’ve actually considered this exact type of gameplay mechanic where you have to go back and forth between the run down and prime versions in order to get through, and even move objects in the prime world so that you can find them again after the place has been run down. Or find objects in the run down world that had been lost from the prime world. etc. Possibilities are quite extensive.

Sounds a lot like Metroid Prime 2: Echoes as well. Light world, dark world stuff.

#4

If there were some textures modellers mappers and maybe one or two coders, I doubt this would be a very difficult mod to make. I can map decently, is there anyone else interested?

#5

Let’s make it happen, captain.

#6

Reminds me a bit more of the Temple of Time from “Twilight Princess”.

I wish I could map/mod/texture/model, but I don’t have the patience to teach myself. :smiley:

This does sound like fun, though. I would like to see it happen.

#7

lol, I hope that’s a typo.

#8

nah

#9

It reminds me of the later levels of Tomba! 2.

#10

I have other projects I need to finish before i teach myself how to use Hammer, but I’m great when it comes to conceptualization phase and bug testing.

#11

Well, anyone seriously considering working on this? Dillxn I would love for you to work on it, you’re a much better mapper than me.

#12

Dang it. It was late last night and my mind tends to wander a lot…

#13

So, basically, PoP: Warrior Within set in a haunted house? Sign me up!

#14

Lol.

I came up with new idea. Have the mod start out with you walking into a room and the ceiling collapses or a chandelier falls on you or something. You then pass out and wake up in some place deep in the mansion. At the end of the game, you return to the room you started out in and find your dead body there perhaps with paramedics and an ambulance and maybe a grieving relative, a lot like The Sixth Sense.

#15

I would help with mapping or programming but I’m involved in my own project that’s eating up my time like a fat kid at a hot dog eating contest.
