Heh, this is quite fun. Though it was a bit dark, it still proved to be rather decent gameplay. Well done so far with it!!

Only if you're a pussy who's afraid of the dark.

oi! i wanted to see where i was going. That game made me jump once thank you haha.

And it wasn't even dark at the time, lol, didn't the whole pull out my flashlight every 3 meters piss you off?

I didn't have to.

The only areas of the game where I needed to use the flashlight were the ones where they intentionally force you to do so, which is maybe 4 or 5 times in the entire game. Most of the time there were dark corners and stuff that I watched warily, but I didn't feel the need to shine my flashlight into every nook and cranny of the base. Even if there were zombies shambling out of the dark which I couldn't see, I could hear them well enough to know where they were.

Though just for kicks I did make a custom version of the Duct Tape mod that merged the pistol and the flash light after I'd already beaten the game. I enjoyed that quite a bit because it seemed a fair balance. If you want your light, you have to resort to using the pistol, making an otherwise useless weapon (after the first 5 minutes of the game) useful again.

lol, my screen must be dark, although it's been a while since i've played it cause i lost the cd key. It should be on the cd case, but noooo. It's only on the instruction book which i lost.

So if i want to play it i have to take out my internet cable so it can't connect to the internet and tell me my cd key is invalid (from limewire lol)

On my copy it's on the inside of the CD case...

Also, make sure you're playing it in the same manner you'd watch a horror movie. i.e. at night with no lights on and nobody watching cartoons in the background. You'd be surprised how much brighter the game becomes when played under the correct lighting conditions.

The flashlight from the doom 3 weapons pack would not work, for it illuminates the whole area, not just where the flashlight is aimed at. Besides, it's cool like this.

Wait!?!?! you're using paint!?!?

Or am i seeing things??

Get photoshop man!

You're work thus far has been excelent but photoshop would give the sprites a smoother look, but meh. Whatever works for you is the important thing.

Keep it up man!

I know the MS Paint is poor but I do not have any experience at photoshop so I can't use it

it also takes huge time to do the sprites but that's it...

Well mabye once you finish you could get familiar with photoshop, i used to not know how to use it, you just have to fiddle around with things, you'll get the hang of it, but mabye for you're next project seeing as though you're doing such a good job allready

Good job!

a) In this case it's like using a "cannon on sparrows"
b) Not everyone has few hundreds dollars to spend nor wants to pirate it.

good point. And he doesn't really need it considering what he's done with just paint so far.
