The game won't actually fit on my computer, so I have to judge it on the first 30 minutes of a Youtube Walkthrough I saw (I got too scared to watch past the Archives), and a load of game maps I saw online. Of course, I'm also going to edit the areas a bit to make them more Wonderland-Friendly, because I doubt I'll be able to make explicit gore in the editor, even if I tried.

Last but not least, the dark bookshelf dilemma is causing me a lot of trouble. If somebody can make a new bookshelf dark texture that works better than mine, please tell me!

1. I know how to make gory appearances. The first is thing is to use absurd textures, which you know well enough. The second is to rotate, Z-Adjust and put stinkers and thwarts, etc. partially underground to look like mutilated body parts. The last step is to use reddish tiles and dark water to make bloody water. It all works out in the dark.

2. The bookshelf thing- no idea.

3. I had a nightmare about Amnesia just by looking at images of some of the monsters. The invisible kaernc or whatever it's called that lurks in the water reminds me of an invisible chomper, the Grunts and Brutes could be replace by distorted thwarts and stinkers, and the black plague curse that makes red goo...well, I think it's possible to make in the editor if you're clever. I will send you examples.

Thanks for all the tips, but it all has to be Wonderland-Friendly. A few face-down stinkers will be creepy enough, I think.

That's where horror games get me down. Although it's perfectly scary to have a few broken skeletons, the game-makers INSIST on loading their spooky areas with mangled bodies and stuff.

I'm sure I'll be able to make the red goo thingy by myself, but thanks!

Anyway, I've completely went back on my "Original changes" idea. This adventure will be almost as similar to the real Amnesia as my Maze was to Christopher Manson's Maze, but at least it will be child-friendly. Everyone (even people who can't play horror games) loves a scare, right?

O ok.

I'm still debating with myself whether to try making an original scary adventure too. While I'm deciding, I'm finishing up TTNW5.

NEWSFLASH: THE WONDELAND AMNESIA NAMES HAVE BEEN RELEASED!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel is going to be called Roomi (I'm running out of stinker names, but Roomi had a certain ring to it).

Alexander is going to be called Kos (I think that it's the name of the god of doom in the Nehwon fantasy book series from 30 years ago. I found the name in one of my Dad's Dungeons and Dragons books, and I thought it sounded so evil I just HAD to include it).

Castle Brennenburg is going to be called... Castle Brennenburg (because I was too lazy to think up something better).

Hi. This is probably not gonna be finished due to the lack of motivation I have and the amount of laziness I have.

But I do plan this to be a really, really good and well made adventure.

Looks cool.

A screenshot from my next adventure. Look familiar?

No, it doesn't. In Wondertown there's a tree near that bridge, so that's not Wondertown (TreelessTown maybe?).

My adventures take place after the events of PotZ. Wondertown has changed some since what it used to be.

Picky picky.

I just finished my equivalent of The Archives in Amnesia. They're pretty scary, but there isn't a trace of danger yet.

I'm working on the Laboratory now. This is the last area I've actually seen in-game, so I'll either have to watch a walkthrough or simply judge it by fan-made maps now.

I'm going to play it when it's done.

I've run into massive problems trying to add custom music to my adventure. It's getting ridiculous. I have only finished half of the adventure and I have been working on it for 1.5987 months.

why

Posted: **Mon Feb 18, 2013 11:10 pm**

What is the problem with, specifically? Maybe you're just mixing up bytes.

Posted: **Mon Feb 18, 2013 11:49 pm**

You have to remember, with custom music you have put the hexadecimal number of the song in byte-backwards.
For example: Let's say we have a song called 106.ogg.
In hexadecimal, this is 00 6A. For the music to work, in the byte area where music is stored, you input 6A 00.
You might have to check with the music pack if the hexadecimal number is already reversed, too.

I think that's how it works. I'm kinda fuzzy on it.

Oh. Thanks!

Now, I just need to finish the adventure

Does anyone get the reference from this preview?

Posted: **Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:09 am**

I'm guessing it's referencing one of the sightings of the thwarts back from WA1, which was in the broken bridge area near the ruined temple. Or possibly, the attack on the stinker camp on the northwest beach of Fire Island in MoFI.

The last one makes it sound like some TF2 video thing.

Need a bit of advice from DECORATION PEOPLE. Is there anything I should add/remove from this? Its supposed to be a volcanic sort of level.
I named it 'Steam Cave'.

Wow nice.

I would change the floor to volcano one instead of the acid lake one.
Also, I would remove mushrooms and change the steam from red to orange.

Posted: **Thu Feb 28, 2013 9:34 pm**

I've almost finished making the Wine Cellar in my spooky adventure. This is where I've had to work REALLY hard trying to make it suitable for Wonderland.

When I've finished some mechanisms and tested the whole thing, I'm going to be about 1/3 of the way through. I'll probably send this third-finished folder to somebody for testing, just to make sure it scares innocent civilians as well as me.

Remember that it might be an area near a volcano or cave, and so there may be lighter-coloured rock and some lowlife plants growing there.
