Somnium - 3DS demo
I've been going to summer camps for the past 3 or 4 years now put on by people in the video game industry, and about 3 years ago this idea popped up. Now that i'm bored with plenty of extra time and know the basics of the editor, i finally have means of making a demo! ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED!
I'm a little rusty, as i havent opened my notebook in over a year but, i'll try to give a quick description:
Gameplay takes place in your nightmares. Crazy stuff happens in your repetitive dreams and you have to make the subconcious journey to the source. Similar to Psychonauts i suppose. I should also add that the main character is an artist. The main unique feature plays off of something called "Lucid Dreaming" - basically being able to do ANYTHING in a dream. For example: Oh no! You're trapped in a room with no way out! Take out your SketchPad and draw a door (this is why it's for the DS) and.. oh hey look, there's a door in the wall that leads to the next room!
"Somnium" is latin, meaning "sleep" or "dream". I would have named it Nightmare, but there is no latin word for Nightmare (and i assume there's a game i dont know about already made named Nightmate). It would have to be "Somnium Malum" -- Bad Dream
Now that the 1st draft is complete, i created 3 forums. What did you like, What didn't you like, and general feedback. Please answer these forums, if only once! Thanks to everyone for the help, I really appreciate it!
if someone explains how to localize the map, i will
para/value blabla ... you should localize the map
added a poll. Please vote :) feel free to comment why you voted that way too!
@slightlyoff the attacking is a little odd :/ In the trigger i have it set to order attack, wait 2 seconds, and order stop. If i only order attack he wont stop attacking. So if you mash the button, then try and run, he'll be jerky for a little cuz of all the stop commands. There's a few things like that, but if you get used to it its nothing big ^^
Am I doing something wrong? The menu says left click shoots but I can't seem to shoot at all unless I do some weird ctrl+shift+attack move thing.
I am now at a stand-still until i have some 3d models made (6 total). If anyone is interested please pm me! The list of models is in the latest version's "Known Caviats" section
1. What does being localized mean/do?
2. Hold shift to use the real mouse
@SaucySC that should be fixed. Let me know if it isnt
1. Not localized.
2. When I get to the High Templar, Param/Value box appears with 2 possible selections, also as Param/Value. However, since there is no cursor, I can't click on the choices.
Can't get past mini boss.. once i kill it.. it won't let me make a door.. tried twice.
All rights are reserved? Yup. To BLIZZARD, and no one else. lulz
