SteveP Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 A very timely update on story mode progress! Thanks!! I wanted to add that I'm glad to see you are working with the animations of the basic interactions especially fire making. This is the moment in survival when everything hangs by a thread as you strike your match. It should be in slow motion and for that brief instant, all other noise should fade away to absolute silence and there is the scritch of the match striking and the sound of the flare as it ignites and then the slow hiss, snapping and crackling sound of the tinder catching until finally that satisfying moment when the flame flickers to life and finally comes to a roaring blaze. These SOUNDS are very important, not only the animations. If we could only have the smell of the sulfur matches or the sweet smell of pine wood or even the rank foul smell of the bears breath as it mauls us. In an immersive game like TLD, these details are important. You are very right that it is a fine emotional chord of notes that is being evoked in the player; that is what should set this game apart from all others.

Mr Concept Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Story mode maps are going to be different to Sandbox maps? Im confused. I thought the entire episode one takes place within the sandbox maps?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think the new story mode map(s) will be available in sandbox as well, once it's released? That was my reading of it, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganw3 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Below is the link to the first Story Mode Update from back in April. From the way it is written, it seems that there will be a couple of new areas added for the story mode first, with those areas being added either simultaneously to the Sandbox or a bit later. http://hinterlandgames.com/community-update-story-mode/ If you scroll down, there is a map right after the portraits of the two characters. It shows the ones that we have already along with a couple of news ones. Kind of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

togg Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'll have to decide how I want to play the new regions first, if on story mode or sandbox mmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Welcome to the forums @Mr Concept! And yes, the current communications from Hinterlands are that story mode will take part on maps that haven't been released before. Something to keep the game fresh as the episodes progress.

cekivi Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 At the movement I don't have any reason to think the story mode maps won't be added to the sandbox @Diamondz but remember I'm just a volunteer moderator. Until there's an official statement from @Raphael van Lierop, @Support or @Patrick Carlson we'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expanding on that line of thought, perhaps even before unlocking the sandbox mode? Which would make sense, since the story mode will have some sort of tutorial in it.

Yes, that is our intention, as long as we can preserve world continuity between Story and Sandbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
