Enola on "Rely on Horror" + some very nice comments

June 16th, 2013 - magnolia__fan

Well it turns out a few commenters on Rely on Horror were pleased that the protagonist in Enola is a girl, AND ALSO a lesbian.

Shadow men got moves (mocap for Enola) and 60% off on Desura

May 2nd, 2013 - magnolia__fan

Hi, this is a very quick post! First of all I need to mention that Enola is 60% off on Desura this week, so you can get the game for just $5.99 (http://www.desura.com/games/enola)

I’ve been working on some mocap for Enola using iPi desktop motion capture, and I wanted to show you a glimpse of what we’re doing with it.

If you’ve played Enola, or seen the screenshots, you must know who the shadow men are. Well, if you thought they would just stand there and watch, you’re wrong. They are actually very dangerous.

Last week I had a 2 hour mocap session, and recorded a bunch of animations, including animations for the shadow men. The next video shows the iPi desktop motion capture output, and the finished animation after some clean up.

They have a few animations actually. Two of them are used in the next video. Basically they walks to the player character and grabs her head. Then you need to press all buttons like crazy to escape (this is pretty much like Fatal Frame on the Xbox, where you needed to press all the buttons and move the joystick thing to escape the ghosts). If you don’t, well, things don’t go so well.

And that’s it!

Description

Release date: Full game release Q1 2013 - Currently in alpha-funding state via preorders.

Enola is a story-driven horror/adventure game about love, hate, and death. You play as a girl on a mysterious island, looking for her girlfriend. Over the course of your travels you find there is something else on the island...something dark and evil lurking in the shadows. Visit foreboding locations, solve intriguing puzzles and find clues to uncover mysteries about the island. You’ll have to be quick and cunning to survive. Do you have what it takes to save your loved one before it's too late?

About Enola
While Enola is a horror game, it can also be considered some sort of "love story," based on the interactions between characters. The concept behind Enola is to make a horror game that is not about fighting monsters or zombies. Similarly, we want to stay away from any “supernatural” horror elements because we're interested on a more “humane” kind of fear. Humans are capable of horrible things, and can be scarier than a 10-foot monster, and that's what we really want to explore with this game. The "human element" is something we really want to explore in this game.

Enola is being developed by The Domaginarium. The game is currently being alpha-funded. To know more about Enola and how you can support its development, visit the official website: http://thedomaginarium.com/enola.html

Features:

Story-driven - Enola may be a horror game, but from gameplay elements to level design, Enola pushes the boundaries of the genre with a captivating and intriguing love story.
Horror Without Monsters - Enola pushes the emotional boundaries of the player, putting them in an isolated, defenseless state of mind.
Unconstrained Mechanics - The mix of first person mechanics and old-school adventure games allows players to keep track of clues and figure out puzzles without the constraints of traditional point-and-click interfaces.
Frightenly Calculated Puzzles - Death traps meant to put players’ nerves to the test. Some puzzles are the usual “fail and try again” ones, but in other cases, failing can mean death...
Replayability - Random events can add variation to the story experience, with different visuals unique information about the story.
Superb Voice Acting and Musical Score - Enola now offers a spine chilling soundtrack and immersive voice acting and sound effects.

AMAZING game. Already played it through with the new update .7. I cannot say enough good things about it. This game is story driven, with enough elements of fear produced through the atmosphere, music and of course the unknown. It is not a typical monster game either, although your life is in danger via "death traps," and, oh yeah there is a psychopathic killer chasing you..."He can be anywhere." The story pulls deep at your heart strings, and it is not for the faint of heart. Highly immaginative, yet also realistic. I cannot wait for future versions to come out and things to be added, as I love it enough to play it through every time :)

Looks Good!

@magnolia_fan: No in France it's not a common name in France ;)

magnolia__fan [author] Apr 15, 2013 @ 5:03pm

@Fabo: Thanks a lot for the comment!
@Aphexon: You're totally right. Maybe talking to the camera will help, I think I'm better talking to the camera than talking to just the microphone, lol.
@Driv3n: Thanks a lot for the ideas. You're right, some should not be so difficult so they become a source of, well, achievement and not frustration.

Fabo Apr 15, 2013 @ 5:25am

Looks awesome. Hope it will be released on Steam.

Aphexon Apr 15, 2013 @ 4:25am

@magnolia__fan - I can understand that, I suggest you show what you got to a mate, and you make a video of you explane to him/her. Or maybe it be better if you get em to interview you? Just some ideas. the game looks good, so you should really get video that reflect that :)

When you created achievements, think about players, don't created achievements that will take 100 hours to do them on a indie game. The objective for an achievements hunter, is to complete a indie game in max 30 hours. The achievements don't need to be impossible (do the game without dying), the best achievements are when you have to "search" collectible (find all secrets area, find all bottles etc.). You need to have some easy, for the others players... (you finished, the first level, you play one hour without leave the game, you finished the game.)
You can created some hard like (you finished the game in hard mode, or you finish a level without dying)... but please dont add the achievements like (kill 1.000.000 ennemis, play 1.000 hours, you finish the game without dying, without jumping etc.)

For add them you have to download a steam tools, i think the name is steamworks.
