Lost Forest Games

We’re all set up! Come play Winter Hall in the @UnrealEngine area at #EGXRezzed from tomorrow!! 💀

Winter Hall is in hibernation awaiting a new spring - assuming spring involves loads of money bursting out of the ground. Eternally grateful to the amazing people I worked with over the past three years at Lost Forest.

I'm off to @britishlibrary this evening for a discussion on history in games! I'll be talking about how we use the layered history of the British landscape to give Winter Hall's folk horror a visceral depth. Some great fellow panelists, should be a good evening!

Fab looking Games event @britishlibrary including panellists Toni Brasting @wellcometrust and @RMMcLachlan @lostforestgames - Digital Conversation: History and Games bl.uk/events/digital…

On the #PeoplesVoteMarch with @Games4EU- blue sky and lots of blue flags!

Teşekkürler Gamist!

Down the hollow way...

- Use a pair of thin triggers attached to the door face and set bools to blocked when player overlaps each side - Also send an event when the player blocks the door (when it's moving) which stops the rotation timeline - Disable all interaction during movement for a quiet life :)

- Use a bool to track which direction the door is currently rotating - Use bools to check if the door is open/closed, moving/not moving, blocked in front/behind, can rotate both ways etc. - Split your sounds (e.g. creak -> slam) and trigger the slam off a timeline event track

BP_Door - new hotness: + Opens both ways (optional) + Player can block + Movable handles + Lockable + Additional meshes + Sweet custom rotation curves + Actually opens and closes as expected + Makes door noises + Can be opened remotely + Alerts NPCs + Tortuous Boolean logic

@GroundShatter There's no concept of 'feet' in the Winter Hall universe, sorry.

@lostforestgames Can it be kicked open? Asking for a friend

May contain some behind-the-scenes insight on the development of Telling Lies, the spiritual successor to Her Story from @mrsambarlow & @A_i and also Winter Hall from @lostforestgames amongst other real-world examples...

There's now an air conditioner in the @lostforestgames shed, and the ducts have taken over
