One Night, Survival horror game for RMVX! (Released 11/12/2008) Options

[Dark Gaia]

Overview

One Night is a survival horror game created by Dark Gaia with RPG Maker VX. It was first released on January 2nd, 2009, and since then has garnered favorable reviews and has spawned two full sequels. It also holds the very dubious honor of being the first ever survival horror game developed with RPG Maker VX.

Story

The Complex... At one point, it was obviously some sort of bustling, busy epicentre of human activity, the nerve center of all sorts of scientific endevours and the military stronghold of an entire armed force. This can be evidenced by the sheer complexity of the place...
Buildings sprawling over each other, subterranian levels, airfields, hangars, vast underground laboratories...
But then again, if it ever was those things, it surely isn't now. Something happened there long ago, and now The Complex is abandoned, crumbling, and eerily silent, it's inhabitants seemingly vanished into nothing in the blink of an eye.
It seems like The Complex is just... no longer there. It's never been heard from since that day when... whatever went wrong went wrong, and nobody who has set out looking for it has ever returned. No maps seem to mark it's location anymore, and not even GPS surveilance can sight anything in the endless expanse of forest it once called its home.
Some have even gone so far as saying the place doesn't exist.
There's some sort of secret behind that place... And what happened there. The Complex holds many such surprises, and a treasure trove of mysteries too. But it also holds a strangling atmosphere of terror, and a horrific fate which has changed it into a world of dread and danger.

You have just opened your eyes from a long period of unconsciousness, finding yourself sprawled on the cracked stone floor of one of The Complex's many abandoned rooms. Remembering only your name, you must now set out into the darkness that has infested this place, and discover who you are, why you are there, and what terrible catastrophy turned the once bustling Complex into what you are about to experience.

Game Features

- Scary atmosphere and locations, with eerie audio and dark lighting effects to set a frightening mood.
- Relentless enemies which will hunt you endlessly, and which you cannot defeat!
- Mysterious story filled with puzzles and secrets to discover.

Looks fairly...

You should extend the view a bit though, you know, at night.
Something doesn't agree with be about the font aswell.
Everything else looks great, can't wait to play,

This game looks very nice Dark Gaia. I can't wait to test as it looks like it will be a good change from the same old game genres I play. The screenshots look quite good, the maps really give the atmosphere of a horror game. Hopefully it won't creep me out too much.

Whoops! I've designed it to freak out even the most hardened player, so looks like you'll be in for a rough ride. I'll PM you to test it as it comes closer to release, as such a short game won't take long to make.

[Urahara~]

Hey awesome project I hope I can play the demo soon! But please update I don't find the screenshots to be the best.

[tobster12]

Hmm, that looks interesting, i look forward to its completion, and good luck creating it.

[Dark Gaia]

Thanks for the feedback. Now that I know the project will actually be played by people, I can go full speed ahead.

[Endar]

This game will rock! One thing I liked is how when you described the scenario at the beginning I began to think about Limansk in Stalker: Clear Sky, wich seems to have kinda the same atmosphere (except for stalker is in full 3D) Hope you get it out faster than in february, cause I almost began drooling when reading this (!)

[l33tpie 6]

Being a member of Team Gaia, I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries but, I would like to inform everybody that this game has been nominated for Project of The Month January, alongside another of Dark Gaia's projects Legionwood. Project of the Month January Vote for One Night!

[Dark Gaia]

Thanks l33tpie. Team Gaia is involved in the creation in this game, so you could say it's their game too! Thus, you are entitled to promote it as you see fit.

@Endar: If I get a particularly involved session of RMing, I may be able to bring it out in January.

hey now, dont leave your lead tester out of all the fun! Heh but seriously, I dont mind helping ya with this as well. I feel like I should be doing more anyways. The horror story you have looks good. Your games are going to end up putting people out of a job! Heh, but you have been doing a good job, and I refuse to be left out =). You have some nice features, and I bet the monsters you set wont be easy to get past. Fair warning: I don't scare easy!

[Ark Reaver]

Ah, you've done more since you showed me the other week. The monster feature will be nice. But me, also being a Team member, will continue to provide my input, starting now.

If you haven't already have that first jump (you know, the one that I changed earlier) to a parallel process to activate while they are two or one away from it. I'll be waiting for it to be finished. Once I play it, I will have even more inspiration for 'Thirt33nth Hour'. You know where to find me if you need me.

[Dark Gaia]

Don't think that Legionwood is halted in any way because of this though. Both projects are full speed ahead. I'm more excited about this one at the moment though, as there is truly no other VX game like it. It's going to define a genre of it's own. (It's even very different to the VX game The Ravenwood Horror.)

As I post this, I am uploading an official trailer movie. I will double post back when it has finished uploading.

[Dark Gaia]

Guys, here's that double post! The video is now up (though it's not great, it DOES convey the atmosphere the game will have) plus I've added descriptions of One Night's monsters and added an extra line to the story.

[l33tpie 6]

Awesome trailer, it provides a good insight into your game. It creeped me out for the most part so I don't know how I'll cope with the game. However, the game does look excellent and you've managed to make it look quite scary. Can't wait for it.

[Endar]

This just gets better and better. The trailer looked real proffesional ('cept for the copyrights line, wich was almost unreadable ) and got me hyped, and crazily enough it made me want to make a game with nightvision available (I know how to do it, but I've always been too lazy to geit it done ) Lookin' more forward to the game now more than ever, and sorry for using ( ) so much (forgotten what's the english name for it)

EDIT: I've been trying to download the .png files at the first post, but everytime I try I get redirected to the board message that tells me I'm not allowed to use the download feature because I'm not logged on. What the heck is happening?

[Dark Gaia]

Hmm... I see, it does it for me too. Must be a site problem that needs to be fixed. Ah well, you'll just need to go without them for now...

[Canuck]

Would you mind uploading that trailer to YouTube? Having to download it is kinda annoying...

[Dark Gaia]

I tried doing so, but my bandwidth for the month is used up now so I can't upload to file sharing stuff until Jan the 2nd.

[Canuck]

Hmm. Well, if you want, I could upload it to my channel. Just send me the file over email.
