[XP] Silent Hill: Remembrance

[swick]

Please go to http://www.silenthillremembrance.moonfruit.com and join our new forums for more updates!

Would anyone be willing to collaborate with me on a Silent Hill fangame? I have a bit of content and have a good start to the game if anyone is interested. I have characters and a full plot laid out, some maps, voice actors, etc.

Take a look...

"The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness." - Victor Hugo

About
Silent Hill: Remembrance tells the story of Samuel "Sam" Ashton, a seasoned police officer who had been working on the White Claudia case for quite some time. He was once a happily married family man, but his world was soon ripped apart from the guilt he felt at the death of a young orphan girl from Wish House he was responsible for accidentally shooting. Unable to forget and forgive himself, he unknowingly allowed this guilt to eat him alive and forced him to ignore his wife and child. Eventually his family could no longer deal and left him. Now all he has is his guilt, but can he face it and get out alive?

The game begins in Central Silent Hill, as Sam awakens in a graveyard at the Lutheran Church. He does not remember anything prior to blacking out at the graveyard. Sam wakes up with a severe case of amnesia. He doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't remember his name. He has minor flashbacks, and a voice of a young girl speaking to him in his head. As Sam travels through Silent Hill, he finds clues that slowly reveal everything about his past.

I realize this game may only appeal to Silent Hill fans, but ofcourse even those new to Silent Hill may like it, especially if you're a fan of horror games. The game is still very early in development, but several demos will be released when I feel the time is right. I'm hoping to get suggestions and ideas from fans as to other characters we can add in, and especially monster ideas.

Characters
Emily Whitehouse: Not much is known about Emily, at least to Sam, so most of the projections of her in Silent Hill are simply created aspects of who he thought Emily could be or be like, not how she actually was. Sam has a daughter himself, some of his daughters personality traits is clearly evident in the manifestation of Emily.

Olivia "Liv" Ashton: Sam's ex-wife, who suffered much through Sam's inner struggles. However, Sam hasn't seen Liv in a long time, and still loves her very much, without knowing it. Throughout his journey in Silent Hill, Sam conjures projections of Liv, and she can be seen and heard from time to time. He doesn't know who she is, but he can't help but feel something for her.

Note: More characters will be added.

Features:
-Original Tileset using textures ripped from actual Silent Hill games
-Voice acting (For important cutscenes)
-Original soundtrack
-ABS
-Radio static (to indicate enemies are nearby.)
-Dynamic sounds

What I'm Looking For!
-Pixel Artists
-Character and monster designers
-Puzzle designers
-Promotional graphic artists
-Musicians/Composers
-Voice Actors
We would all be working closely with eachother.

I'd like to work as a composer for this.  I love the idea.

Here's a couple of my "darker" tracks.  Heavily inspired by Akira Yamaoka

Do you have any Alt Links, MediaFire doesnt like my computer for some dumb reason.

I am a Silent Hill fan, and IIRC there is already a fan game, but I never got very far in it...

[Gracie]

I want in on this.

So, I can do storywriting editing and artwork, let me know if you want me to PM you some examples.

[Elezeid]

Here you go, sorry about that.  I tend to forget that mediafire disagrees with a lot of people.

Elezeid those are some good tracks, can you do any ambient, spooky stuff, without drums and what not for in-game stuff? And Mein Captein, I'm already working on the storyline and stuff with a great writer but let me know your ideas anyway, also, if you have any ideas for monsters and want to make up some concept art or what not that would be very appreciated.

At this point we won't take just any Silent Hill fanatic for the development team but rather people who show real enthusiasm and dedication to the project with a weekly contribution or so. But input from the community is always welcome

Here is some concepts we've got so far:

Of course!  These tracks just have drums in them because I was leaning in the direction of some of his cut scene music.

I have another one here. If you just listen to the beginning you'll hear a taste of what I can do without drums. 
I can make more like that pretty easily, if you like.

Just let me know, maybe we can bounce some ideas off eachother and I can whip something up for you.  Most of the things I upload are a bit more melodic because it tends to appeal to a larger audience, but I can do pretty much anything you'd hear in a SH OST.

looking really good the project. good luck pplz.

*That track is really the silent hill mood. omg 5*
