Haunted Manor | Terror Engine Standalone version

Note from the Dev

It’s been 4 years since this project was brought onto GameJolt, and obviously if you could not tell, the project has been abandoned and long dead, and I feel I need to say why, as I did just leave people in the dark.

Since the last update I gave, which stated that I was forced to move, caused me to stop working on it. Well I just wanted to say everything worked out fine, I don’t have any problems like that, and have been doing well enough. Mostly just working, just not game related as much as I would have loved to have been working on games. Sadly this was not the main reason why the game was canceled.

From moving a few times, I’ve also lost most of the games files (probably just misplaced them in one of the many unnamed folders,) and I have tried to remake the game from scratch and try to fix some of the major loading problems, though there was some major work, like having a more clear story, and an intro video, but that just wasn’t enough sadly.

The main reason why the project is dead, is simply the spark and creativity was gone. For what I wanted to do with this project, and what I was actually capable of doing with the engine was very limited. There was lots of stuff that I wanted to do with this project, but with how limited the custom engine was, and how work on the engine was basically stopped for other projects, my spark on working on Haunted Manor was growing weaker, until it was just ultimately scrapped. As much as I would like to try and finish Haunted Manor, I just can’t, and decided to just be done with it and move on.

Will I be deleting the game? No! The version of Haunted Manor that is on GameJolt shall remain here till the end of time. I feel there is no reason to delete it, as much as I hate the state of it, it can still be playable, and some people may still want to play it.

Thank you all for the support for the project, and thank you to anyone that played it! Hopefully I can see you in other project that I may do in the future!

1.0

NEW MAP - There is now another version of the map, there is the normal map, plus another one that does not have the Pixelization effect on it, for those that do not want the effect. Same game in every way, just no effect.

• More rooms

• All camera angles have been updated and changed a bit

• Changed some rooms

• Ending is changed slightly.

There is progress on the last part of the game, but I want to do more work on it, so it is not inluced for now. Also working on some other fun things. Stay tuned for more, and enjoy the updated version!

New map to show off the new camera features in Terror Engine: Reborn! Due to my laptop not being good. The "BETA" version of this story will be included with the official release of TE:R.

The BETA will contain:

• Only 1 floor to explore, and a few other rooms closed off. Top floor is removed for size constraints (cause at the moment, it's at 1400 objects in the story, and most of it is not decorated :/)

• Some items may be removed or changed to work as good as I can get it to run... So it doesn't end up like Darkest Night and provide issues for everyone. So far so good. Information:
  Name: Haunted Manor
  Connection: None. May make a short series down the road for this.
  Type: Resident Evil (Classic)
  Supported Game Modes: Singleplayer
  Idea Base: Based around the Manor from Resident Evil 1. Of course this will be much much different to work around TE as best as I can. Description:
  *Story Thus Far... For years, people in a remote town out in the middle of the woods have been disappearing out of nowhere. Cops have no leads and no clues about anything. The victims just seem to, vanish from thin air. After having your loved one being one of the victims. You decide to look into this as well. You will do everything in your power to find them. You get a tip from an unknown number 010001000100100101000101. The text reading: "Out in the woods lies a Manor. Range Road 54, down 13 Woods Road." You never heard of the place, but your going anyways. You will find your loved one no matter what... Even if it means you disappear as well. After hours of driving, you find the Manor, out in the middle of the forest. You look back down the road you just came from, only to see pure darkness. Guess if you need help, it won't be coming for a long time. Gathering all your strength, you step out of your car and approach the manor. "This building is huge! How long as this place been out here?" You think to yourself. You can see lights shining though the windows, someone must be home. You knock on the door a few times. No one answers. Thinking of giving up and turning back, the door slowly opens by itself. You know your not just supposed to walk into someones house, but you need to find something, anything that leads to finding all the missing people. Just as you step in, the door behind you slams shut and locks itself. You stand in the brightly lit lobby. You shout to see if anyone is around. You get no answer, only your own echo... Guess I better start looking around. Other Notes:
  This is basically a tech demo for the new camera system. An entire map build around with it in mind.
