MBID - A look into a mentally ill persons mind

Description
My Body is Dead was project I made after the trauma I experienced losing my first true best friend in life, Leia.
Ventface is a classic instant-kill scp inspired entity that waits around the corner to menacingly smile at you. All you have to do it ignore it and it won't kill you.

Faceful is secretly ventface the entire time, disguised as a helper. Trusting it only makes you go more and more insane.

I've always been an environment artist, meaning every single prop texture is supposed to speak a thousand words without saying a thing outloud. Look at the world, everything means something.

Warning, these maps can cause ptsd like it did to me...Always being alert in a simulated scary world does things to you...

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about....

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

The only way I will remake this project or finish the second one is if I get overt help and a team to plan with. I can't, I CAN'T do it alone.

If you would like to commission me, you can find my new portfolio here https://www.cgtrader.com/designers/bride-hello049

I'm starting small for now...But I have a passion for silent story telling props... Everything has a past.

I realized after being sent to a psych ward 5 times for obvious reasons, that the whole time, it was me. I was ventface. I was facefull. It was all me. I'm sorry for being so menacing but I developed these terrifying traits for my own reasons. There exists around us murderers by the thousands. They know how to seem normal. They aren't dumb, they KNOW how to...

I made these characters in an attempt to deny it could ever be me...But it was me.

I still love this addon. It's like walking through my mentally ill mind and seeing how my personalities clash. I only wish I could have polished it more and made it more unique than being a half life experience...

When things don't fall into place in a creative work, you either move on or force yourself to keep working at it and release something you aren't passionate about. I think you're doing the right thing. Looking forward to trying what you came up with and hopefully you find a new platform to bring your ideas to. Good luck!

My Mind is Awake map names are:
clinicofdreams.vmap (Continuation of the second map in mbid.)
gm_adventurers.vmap (literally recreated the adventures club map from gmod, yes)
painandcats.vmap (The craziest map, I love it)

I should still find a way to release these individually at least because I still feel like even though the story isn't there, the maps are still interesting and feel worth it to show people. Some locations I made are based off of actual dreams I had as a kid and they feel spot on to the feeling of the dream.
If I do manage to release them, don't play them expecting completely polished experiences. Play them expecting to see bits and pieces of a scrapped idea.
Funny though, the main story was meant to be a decent into madness and insanity. Which turned out to be my experience trying to create it.

So, it's obvious. This project is dead. The idea isn't though. I created 3 maps after this and they're fun, but the folder became 16gb and to upload it, i'd have to reorganize every asset manually and upload them as individual content addons. I didn't like how I was sticking with tedious half life alyx mechanics like scavenging and shooting the few enemies available. The story had no true aim because of that, and with how much time I was putting into it I felt like I just had to give up. All I really wanted though was a series of random maps that feel dreamlike and magical while still remaining horror, and trust me, I wanted to give people heart attacks with some of the horror ideas I had but never got around to making them. Full of eastereggs and I even tried introducing Leia as a character. It felt too awkward though, I was giving my deceased animal voice lines and it felt obsessive and inappropriate for the memory of her.

I don't usually post any comments, but this deserves it. This map was cool as hell, especially all of the changing sections, I would love to figure out how you did it lol

This is a damn good map, so good job on it! I can't wait for part II

Good company, elements of horror and ambient are not intrusive and interesting to play through, I’m really looking forward to the continuation
