Title: ESCAPE: The Entity
Post by: epic7 on September 29, 2012, 11:03:13 pm
After taking a long break, now I'm starting a new project and it will be made in Unity3d. (This one will be finished, unlike a few of my other ones :P)

So, as the title says this game is caleld "Escape: The Entity." I got the idea for Escape from Slender, and I put a few aspects from Slender into this game. For example, when you get closer to the enemy, the ambience intensifies, kind of like in slender each time a page is picked up.

This game takes place in some kind of underground dungeon, where you have to return to the surface before you are caught by The Entity. You'll have to pass through many obstacles like puzzles and parkour to get out.

Now, I present to you a preview video of my game! Note that the preview is obviously an early version; I just started about a week ago.

I'm using Unity for it, and I'm doing all the scripting for it in Javascript.

How do you beat the first level? ???

I am unable to reach the end because the platform is too far to jump D:

Well the thing is that unity3d isnt compatible with linux (yet) [necroanswer]
And epic7 you should update the vid.

Fixed the video.
@DJ_O, several people have told me that the distances were too far... I guess I'm the only person who can consistently make them all :P
Which jump was it? Because if you're talking about the one the far side of the second room, there's a bridge for that jump which is activated by pushing all the levers.

I haven't really updated the game this month, but I'm going to try to finish the second floor sometime around thanksgiving.

By the way the game is kinda scary O.O

The game has some degree of scariness... I have succeeded! :P
Left click the levers to flip them.

Lol I tried this and I still can't get past the 1st level. Actually I got past the 1st area with switches, but then I discovered I was not even close to done with it since there's another part with moving platforms behind :P

Are levels incredibly long? Because it seems like I only manage to get past the switch part a few seconds before I would get killed. D:
