[ SILENCE ] - 5 Levels / Puzzle & Combat / Medium to Hard / Cop / No Mods (Vanilla) / Silent Hill Inspired

Kuvaus
SUMMARY

- Hardly any dialogue

- A few puzzle sections

- Emphasis on ammo management, melee combat and scavenging

- The levels become more "corrupt" the more you play... Just like Silent Hill*

- *Despite that, you really don't need to know that game if not for easter eggs' sake


This was the TL;DR version. If you wish, you can continue reading in order to better understand how the campaign is structured, what to expect, and how to overcome certain situations.

It's not just mindless shooting

This campaign often requires you to think outside of the box.

There will also be times when you'll need to treat your ammo (and even your weapons) as fine gold: since this campaign is inspired by classic survival horror games, there's often (yet not always) a emphasis on ammo management, melee combat and even problem solving (of course, the puzzles are very limited due to the nature of Hotline Miami).

It's not riddled with dialogues

In fact, the levels have neither an intro nor an outro!
It will be pure gameplay from start to finish, with very few exceptions.

I have never played a Silent Hill game before, will I like this map?

Obviously that comes down to personal preferences, but I think that if you ignore the aforementioned few and brief dialogues (which are both easter eggs/references and a way to connect the levels -- you generally don't need any prior knowledge regarding that game, though) -- you'll enjoy this for what it is: 5 levels with an innovative take on the Hotline Miami formula... Without renouncing to the pixelated massacres we all know and love.

I can't finish this level... Is it bugged?

Are you sure you killed every enemy? Are you sure you've examined the "weirdest" spots?

I would've made this room this way instead of how you did it

Unfortunately I've already been pushing the editor limits; to simply put, for most of the levels, I had to find the right balance between details and game's stability. As it is now, there's a ridiculously big amount of props and whatnot, yet the game will 99.9% of the times never crash, nor you'll experience graphical glitches. These two issues are very common in those maps that abuse the item system.

Why didn't you use the song "Ghost" which is actually inspired by Silent Hill itself?

Because I'm dumb asf

I wanted most of them to be that way, especially on the second level because it makes it easier to spot a certain easter egg. Now that you mention it though, I guess it was the laziest way to do so and it doesn't even help for that reason! Glad you pointed this out... And of course, thank you for playing.

This campaign was a very enjoyable. I really like the concept, the atmosphere, and what you did with the story. Unfortunately one issue I noticed is that most of the idle enemies were placed too close to the walls and couldn't move. Other than that, it was a solid experience for me.

No need to make up my mind since it's both things. It may sound pretentious and paradoxical (maybe it is, idk) but I made sure to make it accessible for most people, all without renouncing to what seems to be a controverse inspiration and overall what is, at times and in some levels in particular, an experimental design. I wanted to add both lines of thinking into this map and I can see why someone might turn his nose up because of it.

"which is unfortunate because I wanted this to be accessible to the majority of people"

"Of course, the majority of people will find it chaotic, but this was never aimed at the masses to begin with"

make up your mind.

That's just your opinion though; despite this fact, I do accept it. However I don't think there's a rule to make a map, besides mere common sense. That's the beauty of the editor. I like the classic formula a lot, but I also like going experimental sometimes. The criticism you mentioned towards the end of your post were exactly some of the things I wanted in my level in order to give it a whole different feel, if that's fun or not, it's subjective. Of course, the majority of people will find it chaotic, but this was never aimed at the masses to begin with (in fact, the main inspiration is right in the title) :steamhappy: thanks for playing and thanks for the comment.

Don't try to go experimental, if you barely know the main basics of the editor. The design philosophy of the levels are the complete opposite of what makes Hlm a fun game. free weapons lying around, narrow corridors, fuckton of special enemies and solid furnitures, that block my parth just ruin the flow for the level.
I suggest you to look at other people's creations, guides and tutorials and get some people to test your stuff since they see things you might not notice.

As previously said, I've removed the walls of text in order to make this section a little bit cleaner. I hope you don't mind. I will add you now!

I made sure to not put Dodgers near Fats 99% of the times because that was annoying even in the original game, but when you aggro everyone that does happen. It's a real pain in the butt, I know :steamfacepalm: in order to avoid this I've strategically placed both melee and ranged weapons, but that doesn't seem to be enough for some users, which is unfortunate because I wanted this to be accessible to the majority of people. Regarding very poor execution, that's pretty harsh, but I dare to say that there is way worse in the workshop; it's just that both time and Steam's algorithms have filtered the best ones so people are more inclined to remember only those. Of course that's not an excuse to not do a better work next time :steamhappy: thanks for playing!
