The sequel to my surprisingly popular (judging by all the email I got) Day 13, is finally finished. I am so sick of Hammer now, that I have banned myself from loading it again for at least a month.
The download is 42mb.
Please read the text files included in the download before playing, because it won't all fit here.
Enjoy.
/downloads!
Day 13 was featured in PCGamer (UK)
so the sequel MUST be good!
And if you ask me, this one is muuuuuch better. Although some people may find the main puzzle frustrating.
(muhahaha)
Downloading,, tomorrow.
Tries now, reviews later...
I cant be bothered writing a full-blown review so i'll just state some key pluses and minuses.
+ The overall atmosphere was great. The mapping and dust particles, set along with great lighting made sure of that.
+ It managed to keep me entertained for almost a whole hour. That's a good thing.
+ The puzzle in the second map is frustrating but fun. I had pretty much figured out the whole of the second part of the puzzle before i finally figured out how to get at the gravity gun.
(out of interest, is there an order in which you have to put the tiles in the baskets? i tried U IV VII II B and then just put a random one in the last one for 'empty' and it worked)
+ You got voice actors
+ The strider movement was excellent. "Oh thank god, im safe here" Then it sticks its fucking great big gun in through the roof
+ Are so many enemies good for Gordon's health? Our survey says - No
- the voices were FAR too quiet. I could barely hear a word the woman was saying.
- FUCKING. HEADCRABS
- Lack of ambience.
+/- The mapping wasn't very good in some places, but great in others.
+/- The texturing was the same as the mapping
Overall :
Definately worthy of 5 stars. G-man's manic laugh made sure of that
I shall alert PCGamer immediately
Now I found it very impressive mainly because of the architecture and clever ideas for puzzles.
It took me 10 minutes to spot that silly hole for the grav gun...:P
I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out that main puzzle and I just gave up due to lack of time (Have to go soon) and well it is HARD Especially for one with low IQ...
Ok so first map was clever with the camera...Annoying thing was ragdolls got in the way.
Second map, you are blocked off but an ugly wall That bothered me slightly...Erm the woman was cleverly done as she follows and say's things...Anyway I found your secret Day 14 made by texture.
Ok so after skipping the main puzzle I probably skipped some good stuff..oh well...
Third map was pretty cool but buggy - ish aka some enemies all crowded together and got stuck. Some enemies spawned on top of me..:P
Erm Strider I have no idea what you did but suddenly it spassed and went super crazy...It like ran as fast a a fast headcrab and chased me
Apart from that cleverly done, good and challenging puzzles, I love that weird poking out thing in the second map with the custom spiral texture.
Good action although a bit too hard for me...I rate thee 5 stars because the mapping was excellent and the puzzle pwned me so
and again
Thanks for the reviews .... Kasperg I'm sure the file problem was just something to do with this just being posted, and a lot of people downloading it from the same place at once. It's on other forums with the same link...so....maybe if you try it a bit later you'll get the file OK.
Thats as much as I'm giving away though.
Perhaps the numerals can be changed to letters in the mind? Gah I am soooooo used to just blasting crap...All this thinking makes me hungry.
EVENTUALLY.
Hehe.
Sssshhhhh!!!!!
I am stuck on the werid temple level.
