Details
This project is a Garry's Mod horror/thriller gamemode and was an entry in the Gmod Store 2017 Summer Gamemode Competition. Along with the help of a talented mapper named Turtleey, we managed to make this entry in two weeks (even though every contestant had two months to work on their entries). Out of the 19 entries, ours received 2nd place. We were awarded $1,215 USD.
The project draws inspiration from John Carpenter's The Thing and the popular Garry's Mod gamemode Prop-Hunt. The game has two teams. The mechanics complete tasks, while mimics - which are players who can disguise themselves - attempt to stop them. The gamemode puts emphasis on strategy and teamwork.
Some unique features were used when making this gamemode, such as:
- Various depth buffer effects, such as DoF.
- Simulated Two-Way radios.
- Door + key assignment.
- ...and more.
