Trauma Affect

Post by Crypt Voice »


Trauma Affect is a classic horror experience that draws inspiration from ps horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, F.E.A.R, and etc.
in it you play as a maniac who is going through some psychological problems.

The official demo is already here!!!

Great start to a game! The exe's flagged as possibly mal-ware infected, so I didn't run them, I just loaded the 2 pk3 files into my gzdoom with zdl.
Things I noticed:
  • The views bobs a lot when I walk. every step this character is jumping up and down.
  • There is no player sprites - I can't see myself in the mirrors or in the chase cam.
  • There doesn't seem to be anything to do, just walk around and look at things. No baddies or anything else to interact with, other than the tape recorders
So I don't know if that because of the way I ran it or if those are by design, but that's what I noticed.
Some other comments on the map:
  • There are a lot of doors with broken locks. I don't know if those are areas you just haven't mapped yet, or if that's just a "background" door that will never be usable. I played that new Wolfenstein mod where they made all the background doors a dark grey so you don't confuse them for real usable game doors. I thought that was convenient. But if it's your intention to let the player try all the doors and figure it out for themselves, then forget I said anything 8-)
  • The vertical scale seem a little weird. You've got a lot of tables and countertops that seem a lot lower than they should be. You even have a room with a table and a bench, and the table is so low that no one could sit on that bench because there isn't enough legroom. There is also a room with what I think is supposed to be a bathtub but the bottom of it isn't nearly deep enough.
  • There's something off in the "parking garage" teleports, it's possible to glitch them and see the teleport and even see and touch the real wall behind them. Probably just some triggers that aren't aligned quite right.
  • In the "rooftop" area you can jump up and hit your head on the fake ceiling. You might wanna put that up higher.
Overall though, great job! I love the graphics and the lighting and the atmosphere. Waiting to see what else you do with this.

thanks for your comments and wishes!
about the camera that jumps: there was a gzdoom.ini config, so if you replace it, it removes view.bob
but then i solved this problem inside pk3 so it's already fixed.
As for the doors, I will make doors with broken handles so that you can understand where the door will not open.
and about the prologue in the demo - it was just a test of the pen, and then I still had no idea about the plot. the prologue will be completely redone.

Looks promising! Downloaded and played the demo. Tho nothing monstrous is happening right now besides blood-n-gore and psychological-horror things, pretty sure we'll have all kinds of Silent Hill action.

Problems i got so far was already described by others so i'll pass until i get the updated version. Keep it up!
