Survival horror - Penumbra
by Jens Nilsson · 05/15/2006 (11:11 am) · 7 comments
We started on the project September 2005 and have now released the first beta demo of the game.

1.5Ghz
Radeon 9600/Nvidia FX or better
It's a first person horror game that features intuitive interaction based on an advanced physics implementation. The game uses an in-house developed engine and the team has consisted of 4 members + some helpers.
We decided to concentrate on the physics and interaction as a way to immerse the player into the game. For the same reason we tried to minimise the use of an interface and HUD, instead other audio and visual effects should indicate the health and mentality of the player.
Enjoy the game and feedback is very much appreciated!

Pretty impressive, Jens. I, for one, would be interested to hear about any farther progress/successes. :)

Extremely well done... everyone should check this out. I especially like the motion blur when your turn around... it gives it a really nice feel.

No plans on releasing the engine, it would require too much effort at the moment to make additional documentation but who knows maybe later on!

Very very impressive guys, quite the addicting/creepy game you've made here. I hope you do well for yourselves with it.
