Really nice :O could happen when you dies etc.. :o

Find underground hidden areas where you can fight against others(much like spars), find hidden shops. Everything will be hidden because just like you, other people(like shopowners), need to hide and survive. Inside buildings, gameplay will be a lot different. Gameplay indoors will be a lot different than outside. Indoors, it will be more sneaky, one on one/two/three. Also, the stronger monsters will most likely be found inside. The insides will be where most quest-like objectives will be found, mazes and such. Outdoor however, there will be lots of zombies and monsters, and it'll be more like a free-for-all match. Just run and gun.

The game of life!

This whole idea is a pretty nice concept and I like that fear factor idea of yours. The light might be tricky like we discussed but I still think it's possible.

A little mock-up of the starting screen. I'm not really that good or experienced with photoshop that much, so excuse the crappyness of it. But you get the idea I'm going with, but in Graal, it would be flickering as the streetlights go on and off, as well as the presence of snow-like fallout falling down.

I also had the idea of the front of a club or other district-like area, with neon lights on the front of a run-down building with big red letters District 9, flickering on and off.

For you or anyone else looking to create a 2d horror server please check out Clock Tower for SNES.

Played it, but it doesn't help overcome any problems we might have trying this on Graal. The way they did the game was designed perfectly for horror, especially the perspective. Graal isn't quite the same.

Bumping this 'cause...

This is an actual script and it works in real-time and doesn't lag that much(500MHz with 8mb video RAM). All I need to do is invert the polygon(and work in the light climbing up the wall bit).

I'd actually be able to add an option that would let you change the accuracy of the check. That way people with slower computers would be able to sacrifice the accuracy of it and still have gameplay, while people with faster computers will be able to have more accurate checks.

I actually tried to make a server like this, in the dark :O One of my fast failing projects, but you actually did it lol.

Didnt think that whole light stuff was possible :P sweeeet
