5 Worse Ways To Die [WIP HL1] Created 17 years ago2006-06-13 08:35:32 UTC by Archie

for about 3 weeks i've been working on my most secret project - "5 Worse Ways to Die," the final part of the 5 ways to die trilogy.

The original "5 ways to die" was insanely popular, even though it was as ugly as sin. Mostly because it was quite fun.

The sequel, "5 More Ways To Die" was much better visually, but didn't get even remotely the same amount of praise as the original because the traps sucked balls.

Now, the concluding part of the trilogy takes the series down a completely different path. Instead of just randomly choosing the correct door, each room will be equipped with a puzzle. Solve the puzzle to reveal a clue which, if properly solved will reveal the correct door to choose. If the player simply guesses without solving the room's puzzle, both doors will result in death.
I have spent a long time on architecture, and i've spent ages thinking out the puzzles and i guarantee that this map will make the original proud.

Featuring voice acting from the acclaimed PaulRPG, level design and textures by me and a few trap ideas from Indiana Jones, this is one to watch out for. (loladvert)

screenshots later today

and? -.-

And he'll post them somtime in the near future so hush f00...And by the way did you have to reply before he posted pictures...

I look forward to it Hunter but make a Source version for us Source'ers.

Don't try to teach your better ones, habboi.
Go bug Jimmi for that, you're just slightly better anyway..

Anyway, i'll be waiting for the pictures then, why couldn't you post them with your first post?

because i hadn't compiled the latest version yet..

Ah, I see.. No hard feelings then.

Hey, sounds great, looking forward to the screens.

@ Habboi - No source version.

@ Freshed -

@ Doctor Cheese - ...

@ Everyone else -

The hallway separating the opening room from the first puzzle.

The classic word-floor trap. A clue in the previous room tells you which word will let you safely across

Anyone who has seen Indiana Jones and the Raiders Of The Lost Ark will know what's going on here.

and can i just note that i linked to the .jpg. NOT the php page. let this be a lesson to all of you

You just had to get a shot of that arched corner, huh? Oh well, looks okay, bit bland lighting.
Puzzles are always fun anyway.

Lots of custom textures would really make this shine i think, either way it looks/sounds interesting and fun.

Looking good, Hunter.

FTW!

Looks very good, can't wait. But make sure you take your time, you don't want to release a half-baked map.

Quite pwnfull!

starts playing the first map

I shall play this lot after my exams.

yay. im just finishing off room 4 of 5 (or 6? muahahahaha) no.. 5

Your first image refuses to load for me...
Looking ok I guess, keep working on it.

Stop teasing us bitch, and upload!!!!

the final part of the 5 ways to die trilogy.

Yeah right...prequels, doh!

Half-quake rip off. But i still like it.

I just finished the last room...

Now all that needs done is the voiec acting and going over the map adding more details and fixing bugs.

Expect it within a week.

I'm really excited to see what you think of this map. I put a hell of a lot of thought and effort into it.

Expect it within a week.

Good news.

well.. Ok.. so i forgot about my holiday

But dont think i havent been working on this, even if it has just been planning.
I now have floating seventh-monkey heads that are of purest evil. Only with faith will you survive them. The final room is done. I am now just waiting for a few re-recorded voices... I expect this'll end up in mini-mod format...

floating seventh monkey heads... I love it!

I want to be in this map too!

Do something about the floor in the archway pic, add a grate or something to spice it up. Otherwise it's lookin' good, Hunter!

Well, its now officially finished.

The voice acting has been done and added. I have prettied to floor in the arched room as per request and there are no floating saribous heads.

Now to send it to my various beta testers.

Release definately tommorrow, if not tonight.

I'm stuck... in the second room...

You'll figure it out...Even I don't know the quote and found it out...I could have searched for the rest of the quote on Google...

easy jumping puzzle

and hunter, Px9 music? common, use something a little better.
