Event Idea: Demons

[Spartan1388]

I was playing Solo in a Doom themed map, and i had this idea.


We have a difficulty that is called "Hell on Earth", we have achievements like "Demon Farmer", so why not a Demon Themed Event?

The Patriarch will have big Horns and everything, and all ZEDs will be Demon-like and "scary", they will make unearthly sounds and some might also have flames.

Maybe also some weapons like a Holy-Shotgun, or something in this fashion.

Do you mean this:

How about some actual demons, not the doom mob crap.

But unfortunately the doom mobs are the closest thing to 'demons' that are already made for KF. The only place a demon event would fit in KF is halloween, and we already have Halloween Slideshow/Hillbilly Horror for that.

Do you mean this:

Not really. Doom was merely an inspiration.

What i had in mind was Demons with horns and "broken" skin, and general appearance like if they are straight out of Hell, you know, Scary and bad##s looking mean dudes, not overweight zombies and walking skeletons.

Those are demons though, just saying--and don't let their appearance deceive you, they will eat your face for breakfast.

I wouldn't mind something a bit creepier for an event, no less.

 

[Spartan1388]

We agree.

It is just about looks. In a KF Demon event, Demons should be as scary as possible.

The demons need to be incredibly deformed people that walk in noticeably unusual manners, for both scare factors and realisticness (assuming you want actual demons from hell which are basically damned humans depending on religion)

If TWI did something like this, it'd better give me nightmares. I want to be scarred for life, or they shouldn't do it.

Bring back the Horror in Survival Horror!

Then two weeks later it's a meh flesh pound I will say yes to all changes to make the game creepy but it will always be the same. Creepy/scary and then suddenly, nothing anymore apart from the odd moment when it suddenly is in your face.

Better yet, read this topic. I made it just for people like you.

Please, for the sake of God, mind your words...

For many people more horror means pitch black dark maps, and weakened weapons. You know, damage modifiers of 2-3, and even twice or thrice more damage from ZEDs...


Of course i would like KF to be more horror, but some people, including myself, cannot be scarred easily, and this is why any horror feeling goes away after some time.
I personally like to believe that KF can have more of a Horror feeling, but in my opinion it would require things like realism.


The Demons now should be designed in a way to inspire fear. This does not mean beastly features and things like pointy ears and horns, these things do not scare us, what i think about in unhuman/unearthly features, as well as the stereotypical Demon features.

Scarred, dark, creepy reskins.

Make it happen, TWI.

I think you've mistaken me for someone else. Killing Floor just doesn't live up to the standard of Survival Horror, and never really has. There are Survival Horror games I've played for years, know every inch of them inside and out, and they still creep me out to no end.

Killing Floor doesn't have the same effect, sadly. Not even 1000 hours ago.

Then two weeks later it's a meh flesh pound I will say yes to all changes to make the game creepy but it will always be the same. Creepy/scary and then suddenly, nothing anymore apart from the odd moment when it suddenly is in your face.

But at least with a creepy reskin, I can grab the assets and turn them into a mutator for my server.

This is very interesting.
Can you share your experience?

Solo play scares the **** outta me.

 

[Spartan1388]

Solo can be somewhat scary.

But after some time, it is not.
I mean, for me, it is not scary. Not scary at all. Maybe i am not afraid easily.

Anyway, KF, is far from a "Horror" game, but any Demons should be "scary". The stereotypical demons just won't do.

 

[Dub]

If I am in an online game, and everyone leaves the match and it's just me, I quit. ****s scary.

 

[Spartan1388]

In this case you will love a Demons event.

The closest Solo gets to being scary for me is when I disable HUD. If I could, I'd leave it off all the time, but the lack of other player's health bars makes it impractical.

Spoiler!
