Slender -- Beta 0.9

Huh, I wasn’t aware of that. And yeah, it happened on fastest. And haha k

Yeah… he never had a pistol in his :slight_smile:

When I release the next version. It takes a lot to get everything set for a release, since I have to go around and update all my links for the new download and let people know about it. I don’t want to release a new version every time I make a tiny change to the game; I’m just going to release a number of changes at once.

For starters, I’m not going to release an update until the SM model is fixed. That’s a major one that’s been sorely needed for a whlie now, and the one I get the most complaints about. I’ll put the billboard modification in at that time (along with a modification to the game’s ending).

Well I’m running an i7 with Radeon 5870 1gb and 6gb ram and have pretty consistent 60 fps even looking up, on fantastic. It’s a creepy game for sure and I’m glad to see a unity game becoming so popular. Congrats man. My biggest complaint would be the walk speed. A minimap would take from the experience, in my opinion. It’d be weird to just look at a map and not think about it. I like having to feel “lost” in the forest trying to find clues. I made my girlfriend and her brother both play and they both screamed and enjoyed it.

This game is now on IGN CONGRATS!!!

Hey i was wondering if i could do professional graphics for the slender game to make it overall more scary and overall better textures/looks. I do work for teams associated with Machinima with 500,000+ subscribers and am very experienced. Please reply or get back to my skype: jediahkw

I added a guy named AgentParsec on skype, hopefully its you, if not… add me on my account, please reply, thanks!

I messaged you also on youtube, i have 2,000 subscribers and the name is “JIVLNG”

… I just figured out what the framerate problem was. All this time I had fog turned off. Now I can afford to lower the billboard distance and max mesh trees without it affecting quality. Everything looks so much better now, and I BELIEVE it will run better too. I’m such an idiot for missing that. -.-

Hey, you should add a changelog for each version to your main post so we can see the update news!

also have you heard of steam greenlight?

It would be great to add your game to it!
and if you need any game pictures/covers I use photoshop a lot and would be glad to help out in anyway I can!

There’s a changelog in the readme that comes with the game.

OK I just played the game. Great job so far man. There were definitely a few times that the Slender Man surprised me. I have to agree with what some others have said. The walking/jogging speed is too slow. I don’t think it has to be increased a ton, but the movement speed should be increased, at least a little. I understand you don’t want player’s completing the game in 5 min, but that isn’t an excuse to make the character move agonizingly slow. A simple way to increase the movement speed and keep the length of the game the same is by increasing the speed and size of the level proportionately. For example, lets say the character is moving 5 MPS (meters per sec) and the level is 1000x1000 meters (1 million meters total). You can increase the speed to 10 MPS and increase the level size to 1415x1415 (roughly twice the size). Thus, you will end up with twice the speed and the same amount of game time. Just an idea. Take it or leave it. I honestly do think you should increase the movement speed though.

Updating links in first post for v0.9.4. Jogging speed is slightly faster in this one. Complete list of changes is in the readme file.

The game is very good, but i noticed when character run the flashlight doesn’t swing at all. I think you should make the light swing when character run and the camera should swing too. Even when walking the light should swing a little bit. This feature will make this game more realistic! :slight_smile:

Sorry for my bad English!

Well, the game looks awesome from what I’ve seen in videos, but unfortunately it still runs bad for me, same as 9.3 :confused: And no matter what settings or resolution I pick, it still stays the same. I’m playing from a laptop maybe that’s the issue? Well I can run other new games decently (at least certain ones), maybe simply the fact that it’s a laptop?
Anyway, keep up the good work, hopefully I can play it too soon :smile:

Why did you switch to 4shared .-.

Mediafire mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/?rxl2xkdjaby0571 (v0.9.4)

Mediafire shut down my files, saying I violated terms of service, instead of checking with me first. 4shared works, you don’t have to register.

Weird. Most people do. I had to last time I went to that site unregistered.

Regardless, my Mediafire account is still good.

Hmm, update: A friend of mine has same issue, it still terribly lags for him too, but he has a PC not a laptop. He thinks it’s his CPU, well mine is week too (1,2GHz dualcore - yep not the most modern one but many new games run okay on it. I mean low-medium settings 15-20fps are fine for me, but this game has 2-3 regardless the settings or resolution). But he has better CPU, 1 core but still games usually run much better for him, but this one still lags for him.
Well, since I’m not an expert at programming, I cannot give any advices, I just hope you manage to solve these issues, I’d really love to enjoy the game. (I had a Win reinstall yesterday, so it’s not to be blamed, it was like that before it too, and yes I installed everything. :P) Or maybe… Can I reach somehow earlier versions of the game? A version that is before your update that you think made it laggy for many people. If that lags then this might not had been the issue. I’d test it with my friend too.
So, still, keep up the good work with the game, I hope I can enjoy it in the future too!

I’m really not sure what’s causing the lag then. I mean, I could set all the render settings for the terrain back to default and see what happens, but it just makes the distant trees look terrible. :stuck_out_tongue:

(CHECK YOUR INBOX)

I was wondering, how did you make it so that slendy pops up randomly, or whatever he does? maybe you could help me with my scipt for my game. “Motel” there is an area (only a small area) in the game where once… I’ll just inbox you, i don’t want to ruin the surprise for anyone reading this.

I downloaded the new version. It’s running a bit better, but it’s still kind of slow. I’m not trying to nag you or anything, I’m just pointing it out.

Fantastic :slight_smile:

Love the atmosphere. Very creepy.
My only comment is the slender man looks creepier on distance, Up close he’s less scary. Not sure how to fix it though… may be more details in the model.
