STORY

Three young adults playing basketball one day, is going to be three pterified adults playing cat and mouse with the most horrific creatures in God's imagination.
On that day, they decide to investigate a nearby abandoned school. They get trapped inside the school and must find their way out through the dark, violent, horrific, silent and petrifying dungeon. Their world has changed around them, dense fog outside, nobody living, mysterious monsters roam the town, buildings turn into hell and no-one is to help you. You must survive alone.

Looks great, but make the light have a little more effect. It still seems really dark.

Oh yeah, by ranged weapons, do you mean guns? Those are kinda hard to event if your doing a action battle system thing. I know how to, though, if you need some help with that. Just PM me if you have trouble.  ;)

Thanks for the reply, yeah I mean guns and shotguns. XD
Yeah am I doing a real-time battle system too so everything is real time, it's all animated too (i.e. attacks, melee weapons swinging etc).

P.s. Yeah the lights look dim because I run multiple layers of pictures over the screen so it covers the light, but when you play the game the pictures split secondly change so it looks like a filter (like the ones used in Silent Hill).
Also, thanks for the offer I will PM if I need help.

That means that the guns are gonna be really complicated if you want them to work well. I can do it though.
I could also do a event where you press a button and switch out guns if you need it.

At first I was thinking that you press the attack button and whatever monster is in your vision (the event grids directly in-front of you) get hit.
The way I want to switch guns is that you need to access the menu and change guns.

Think you could do a gun event for me then? Make it work? If you could PM with the details. XD
