Realm
By Snakezz

What is Realm?
Realm is a retro-styled horror rpg gaining inspiration through my personal addiction to horror.

Should I be expecting a "DooM" experience?
Though this is running on a similar platform, I am trying to create a unique experience.
Alright. So what is the story?
I think it will make for a more interesting experience if I kept that confidential for now.
Whoa hoo hoooo there man, now you really have my interest!
Good.
Any forms of media I would find helpful?
Of course. I also added a new lighting showcase.

Update:1
I have been working on hand drawing sprites and monsters, for my friend to photoshop. Once completed, my hand drawn pictures will take place of sprites, textures, monsters, etc. Here as an example of a "hardsketch" I made for a monster that will eventually be in the game.

I see you are looking for help, what specifically?
I have a ton of resources, but I am having a hard time implementing them.
Any release information?
I will be releasing Realm periodically in chapters. Each chapter will have 2 to 3 maps. A blind play through of a chapter could take anywhere from an hour to two hours. I will be releasing Chapter 1 (as maps 1 and 2) in the relative future. As a side note, the following chapters will not take nearly as long to develop.

Those interested in participating:
*Not looking for mappers
*Please have a general knowledge of Slade.
*Please have a general knowledge of scripting.
(Looking to learn, more than I am looking to mooch off of someone else's efforts)

I will soon begin looking for alpha testers.
(Note to those interested)
-If you are interested, leave a comment.
-3 people will be selected to be testers.
-The 3 chosen will receive all further updated versions.

Will be releasing a huge update within the next couple days, so stay tuned.

Looks interesting. However, I have no idea what the gameplay is going to be like, since you only showed us the map in Doom Builder. The map itself looks well designed, but it lacks detail (but that can wait until release).
Now, if I was any good at scripting or Lump editing, I'd be willing to help you out, especially if it's more of a horror game. I'm sure a couple of willing folks here might be able to help you out. You can also visit the Zdoom and Doomworld forums for help since they have large communities as well.
Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Haha! Many things may not be what they seem! But yeah, everything is 100% playable at this point, but we are working on detailing and other various things. There will be an update in the near future, so expect more interesting crud soon.

Make sure to watch the new video in high quality, and on full screen.

Ooooh, that looks like fun! But does it have to be played in third person? Or did you just set it like that for personal preference?

It's still being debated, I would have to make several changes to the chase cam so it is more conducive for play. While it provides a different feel for the wad, it also complicates several other graphical and gameplay related things.

Yeah this looks interesting. I'd say if your gonna do 3rd person (which works well with some horror games) I'd def change the player skin. I'd be happy to help on anything, prob be in new year if you need anything.

What if Realm had some "space" or "void" ish levels? Something that plays on the psychological horror aspect. Like that nightmare level in May Payne 1.

I'll message you on specifics.

There are definitely going to be some heavier, trippier, and somewhat extravagant moments in realm. Anyway, I've been meaning to talk to you about some details. I am very slow paced when it comes to these things. But I would still appreciate your help.

That hand drawn sprite looks amazing. Im bored could possibly do some testing and some mapping/acs work.

well everything is bare bones atm but yes, I've been needing help with acs and such. If you want I can send you copies of finished works as they are completed to be implemented into the mod.

If somebody has a copy of this map please send it to me.
