Undertow Games Forum

I will open up this sub forum to discuss certain ingame events, and how they could be refined and the like.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Intro sequence take place just prior to the containment breach of the Site. The player starts in their holding cell before being escorted out by two guards to SCP-173's containment chamber for a round of testing. Upon entering the containment chamber at the request of the Intercom Voice (DukeLovesYou) the site loses power resulting in most of the Class-D test subjects and Guard being killed except the player.

After the intro sequence the player emerges to a corridor, as well as a door that also leads off down a set of stairs, at the bottom of the stairs are a Guard and another surviving personal discussing the best way to escape, if the player does not descend the stairs the Foundation personal are ambushed by SCP-173 and killed, if the player quickly moves down the stairs and interrupts the survivors they will stop what they are doing and look at the player, before a power outage occurs killing the survivors and leaving SCP-173 at their feet.

It should be noted that currently SCP-173 will always spawn at the lower level room, the Gas Mask, batteries and the SCP-173 Document can be found there.

I been thinking through this for a while
But before I start, are you able to implement cutscenes?

While I highly doubt anybody is going to agree with me or support going back to an earlier version, I'd like to point out that I actually liked the original intercom voice to the current.

well, i just thinking of a new intro to know more of "Backstory" of D-9341.. to know more of his past before site Containment breach..

more to add to the post?

I'm not against the idea. But honestly, I like D-9341 better as a silent, nearly featureless vehicle for the player, and nothing more. I prefer playing horror games that put you on the spot.

Agreed. But maybe the game can start out with a nightmare you are reliving as D-9341 of when you committed the heinous crime that got you as a D-class member. Then you would wake up with blurry vision in a cell, which makes you fully realize that you are playing as an inmate. This intro is both not too revealing and perfect for creating a macabre mood to start off the game.

I like that idea!

That, or the popular notion of being visited in a dream by 990. Or both!

I had this idea for a while.

D-9341 sleeps and dreams, in a dream appears SCP-990. He tells to D something, like for example: Wake up, wake up... I am your dream... This is dreamworld... Soon, you will encounter an event you've never seen it before.

A jeep drives and then the other Class-D wakes 9341 and says “Hey, wake up dude! We arrived.“ Then MTF says “D-9341 Move up or you will be terminated.“ Then you begin to control 9341. You walk to Foundation entrance and then to your cell. You. go to bed, a day passes and when it passes and you hear an MTF talking to Class D in other cell and shoots for not listening.And it's the original intro sequence. So? Thoughts?

I quite like this idea, however I believe it could come off as cheesy if not done perfectly. Perhaps you could be in the back of a police car, and suddenly the dream guy (forgot the number) appears in the seat next to you. After a quick conversation the screen goes black and D-9341 wakes up in the back of the jeep breathing hard or something. That'd give the player some very vague background knowledge of our poor D class protagonist. Also nitpicking here, I don't believe the MTF would have anything to do with D class transport, that's more of a security thing. Perhaps a new, less armored model would be used (think more mobile, less soldierish). I dunno just tossing ideas around.
