The Adventure (fps mystery game in the making)

INSPIRED BY SUBMACHINE. http://submachine.blogspot.com/

The Adventure is my first fair size map that, intially I was playing around with to get used to the controls. It then turned into something that could actually be passed off as an actual game, and, the storyline being inspired by the submachine series, I continued to develop it. There will be 9+ zones all branching off from the "portal" (a room linked to all of them). I have almost finished the second zone having just the diary scripting and a secret area to finish. All zones but a couple are challenging in either logic, memory, skill, or speed.

While having a strange sense of being watched, you feel very alone. The only way to escape, is to adventure.

See here for more screenshots.

Here it is: Adventure with the first two zones pretty much done. There are I think 12 coins to collect if not more. Can you find them all? Can you also find the one teleport without a destination? (That will eventually have a secret place you can go to) Note: please ignore the open windows, they will all eventually be locked off until you progress through them one by one. And check out the Diary and Inventory! (press Esc)

The file to download:
(this is a zip file with all the files needed to run my map. Extract the zip to the "my_stuff\packages\base" folder.)


you may also pm me your email and I'll email you the files instead if you don't want to use sendspace.

Progress barz:

Area 1 "castle affair": Image (all except what happen when you have the password for the computer)
Area 2 "maze of switches": Image (all except for secret zone)
Area 3 "snow world": Image (just started, this area will be rather large)
Area 4 "fulla-grass": Image (concept is taking shape)
Area 5 "no idea": Image (still deciding theme)
Area 6 "fiery abyss": Image (concept is taking shape)
Area 7 "no idea": Image (still deciding theme)
Area 8 "no idea": Image (still deciding theme)
Area 9 "no idea": Image (still deciding theme)

lol, size 19. And I'm glad, I need a big map. A reeeally big map.

I just might send you the files once I've finished zone 2, I dunno. I wouldn't mind a bit of feedback before I dedicate hours and hours into it.

oookkkk.....I'll email them to you and just sendspace everyone else XD

you got a trojan from them? you should get avast, it halts connection to sites before viruses are downloaded and asks if you wish to abort the connection. Plus you can set it up so that it scans your disk while the screensaver's up.

The first two zones of Adventure have been completed! And by following the links (or pming me your email address) you can obtain the 3 files to try it out for yourself!

Note it is in no way completed, I would like some feedback on what you think of it so far. What improvements can I make?

They're sealed right through!

Exactly where did you get out of them?

No, Where you start off, after you teleport into the new zone, behind you. I jumped from platform to platform the out of the window. Then I ran straight to the entrance to zone 2.
