…I never presented this project on this site.
While I keep posting about it and making references to vortexcruz.net and my friend Cruz, I never introduced the game.
So I’ll just copy what I have written on vortexcruz.net:
Our current project, codenamed ‘Colina Silenciosa’ (in english, Silent Hill), the final title is still being decided.So what is it?
Hmmm…it’s a game. A game made by amateurs on their free time, no more no less.Yeah…any more details?
Well, as the name suggest it will be strongly influenced by the Silent Hill franchise, the first three games at least. But that doesn’t mean it will have something to do with any of the SH games, its story or setting/world/mythology.Sorry, we only codenamed it like that because it amused us…and the influence from SH is just that, influence.
We probably will have some of that ‘evil’ mist that so prominently appears on the SH games, we might also have some sort of cult doing evil deeds, evil monsters that inhabit the darkest corners of our imagination and a flashlight, we can’t forget the flashlight…
Sounds cliché, but I love survival horror games, any important points about gameplay/graphics?
Well, it’s a FPS. *sound of people with pitchforks and torches running after us*The graphics will be pretty outdated/ugly/crappy, since none of us is a professional, or even a ‘high level’ amateur on 3d modelling. Honestly I’m just a noob, never had patience to learn anything well enough. So expect something like Silent Hill 1, only with a better resolution (I was aiming for SH2, but that game aged pretty well and the graphics are still nice and above what I can do). It’s a game made by two guys, and only one of them is doing the ‘technical’ work, don’t expect too much.
We will be using Unity3D ( http://unity3d.com ) as the game engine.
And it will be dark, very dark all around, basically we decided there’s this sort of perpetual nighttime for the entire game, so the flashlight will be your best friend and it has unlimited energy.
Like Silent Hill it will be more focused on exploration and puzzles than on action.
Well, sounds awful, but I have time to waste with games, will it be free?
Oh, yes, of course it will, we can’t think of many reasons that would make people want to pay for this.Although we will probably have a donation button if we ever finish this game.
As the project progresses I will post 3D renders, screen shots, maybe even videos, and some more details about the plot.
And that pretty much sums it up.
