His story. Coming soon.

The Wilson Chronicles.

#42

One more complaint I Had about Wilson Chronicles was the soldiers’ screams.
They sound terrible coming from the HECU. Hell, They sounded just as Terrible when Monolith Productions put them in F.E.A.R. (yes, ladies and Gentlemen, those are the death screams of the Enemy soldiers in F.E.A.R.). just a small complaint, you guys may want to give the HECU their own death screams (record someone screaming with their hand cupped around the mic)

#43

You’re talking to the devs in first person, but none of them are anywhere near here.

#44

Demo Release is based on the version Alpha 5 of the mod. Its impossible to make a full mod with 100% new customs content from Alpha version.
Now the mod move on Alpha 6.

Demo => Help Wanted

Why ?

Because I want finish this mod for 2012 and before my death.
If you are not happy, its same for me. Sorry for my english, i’m french and i’m tired.

Frankly, I loved it. The whole fact that you’re working on it by yourself makes it all the more amazing. It looks really nice. However, I’d take heed to some of what has been said thus far. Specifically for me, I didn’t like:

  1. There are to many unusable doors. Put something behind them, or make a reason you can’t go in them.

  2. There’s not enough of a story being invoked by what you’re doing. It’s basically all run and gun. I’m assuming you have a story. Work on incorporating that into the mod in as many ways as you can. Unless you’re going for a “YOU’RE ALL ALONE!” feeling, add some characters. Put up a thread and get some voice actors to do some custom stuff.

  3. Make houndeyes weaker, and get rid of or change the HECU death sounds.

  4. Make environmental hazards more obvious as to whether or not they will hurt. Steam particle effects look nice, but if one is going to hurt, they should all hurt, or the other way around.

  5. When you punch, there shouldn’t be gun smoke. (or even sparks, really.)

Other than that, I really liked this mod. It’s better quality than most mods out there that have actual teams. Your custom models are really nice, and contrary to what has been said I thought your maps were pretty well optimized. (Well, I didn’t lag, anyway.)

Go for something to make it really stand out. Maybe an in-depth melee system? Maybe complex puzzles? Maybe just a damn good story! I can see this mod going somewhere. Try to pick up some people for a team, if you really need the extra help.

Best of luck!

You must first an hero. There is no second step.

#50

but i accidently the whole. :’(

#51

Why that? It doesn’t make sense that you can aim with some weapons and not with others…

But as I said, good work so far and keep us updated :wink:

#52

Downloading
Launch the executable file and install… Executable found your steam.
Restart Steam. Install SDK Base 2007 in tools.
Launch Wilson Chronicles :wink:

#53

I’ve installed and play the demo. It’s full of qualities like the models and the overall atmosphere. I can only wish you good luck and looking forward to its completion. The only drawbacks are what Medevilae just stated in its post and to rework the “grunbie” aka zombie grunt : the claws are just twisted hands !
Anyway those remarks are minor because this demo really proves the potential of both your mod and your work.
Vous déchirez les mecs !

My problem with the mod? Not downloading fast enough :smiley: . But in all seriousness, criticism is something you should welcome, not blow off. Obviously, if the person is saying stupid shit like: “iits gahy go die”, then you have the right to flip him off, rip out his intestines, and hang him by them.

Fun fact: My example I’d supplied was part of a metacritic user review about Half Life 1, minus the go die part.

#55

Downloading the mod here : https://www.moddb.com/mods/wilson-chronicles/downloads/wilson-chronicles-demo-release-1

Its a executable file.

I just try the demo. I was really impressed.

  1. Texturing work was very detailed. Lighting was perfect. However, there is some places you could increase the ambient light to avoid using the flashlight.

  2. The explosions were impressive. You should move some of the barrels to more visible spot to allow use during a battle. The red barrel is non-explosive, maybe you should pick a different color.

  3. HEV and health station should have a progress bar for feedback.

  4. “gas leak” doesn’t do anything. When I saw this, I expected to trigger an explosion when shooting through it.

  5. Navigation in the map is not always obvious. Often there is a door in front of you, but you really need to go elsewhere. This was said by other, but door should follow a convention to know which one can be used. Also, it fairly easy to get stuck in the props (especially after an explosion).

  6. No theme across the level. For a demo, this is ok (maybe it was even intentional). Since you have done all the work for custom textures/props, you should make some sections longer (a entire chapter could be in the sewer, and a other in the office).

  7. Small FX glitches (flashlight, explosion flash visible through walls). Since you aim to release the mod in 2012, I would not worry about that now. Focus on the gameplay.

Bonne chance et félicitations pour le demo.

Are you kidding? They looked like the were made in paint. No detail at all. Unless by detailed you mean that they applied textures on stuff.
