Looking very Good! I really like the style the level has. As you know, the textures will make or break the level. But You are defentally almost there. Keep up the great work!

Hey, thanks and you're right..whatever direction the more final textures take will make a world of difference. Alot of the textures that are there now aren't going to change much, though. Certain pieces of geometry will have more distinct detail but others will be more flat(as all of the level is at the moment), though I may add a very slight grain/grunge to those just to give them a bit of spice.

Ultimately, the power of the lighting, the intimacy of the levels(smaller but with more to do than your average game..well..except maybe Half-Life 2), and the story will be what is important in this title. Anyway, right now I'm doing some coding and trying to interject a little life into what will eventually become a living breathing world. So far so good.

I'm looking forward to that Vain demo, btw.

yeah... those roughs look pretty good.

from what i can see the game definitely has atmoshpere... looks like it's gonna be something worth getting into.

One suggestion... (there is always one suggestion, right) ... has nothing to do with the game under development or the content...

... but your company name Orange Brat Shennanigans

how does... ShennaniGames sound....

... oh well, just a thought

Good Luck with the development...

That's a pretty nice play on words. There's always a chance that OBS could be used for more than just gaming, so I couldn't really use it as the overall company name, but perhaps the gaming division?

Been working on the theater marquee and the lighting...still a ways to go, but here's where it stands at the moment:



I still need to finalize the actual marquee and also address the other side. There aren't any door on the front either, but that'll come soon enough. The structure is based on a famous Deco era theater...back in the day it had a flat marquee but today it has the angled one like in my level.

That little darker vertical squiggle near the middle top is my transparent player model, so no the theater doesn't have a weird dingus sticking out of the top of it.

Your doing some beautiful work Orange Brat...

I have this honeymoon thing to tend to, now, followed by a concert by some band called Radiohead on Tuesday. Have fun and see you all in a few....oh and bupaje thanks for the kind words...

OK, I'm back and ready to begin again...here are a couple of the screens from the recent site update for those who may have missed it...if you want to see more then just go to the "Evidence" section on the site in my signature:

i like them very much! what kind of characters will populate this world?

Lots of people wearing overcoats, 3-piece suits, and fedoras. My avatar, which is based on the logo on the game page, is a headshot of my main character. Non-gangsters will be dressed in the fashions of the day(1930s America). There also may be a few bloodsucking vampires, werewolves, and zombies just roaming around here and there...
