Well you see making maps in source can be quite a chore to do. So executing unique stuff can be a pain. Also this is a beta version so it might be subject to change when its finished.

I'm not saying you should just remake Staticbound in a new layout. I've just never had any fun with friends on the other Gm_Hide maps as they all follow a formula that I don't find very fun. But Staticbound is a consistently amazing time and always throws some kind of curve-ball our way no matter how many times we've been through it.

You should make something more unique like Staticbound was. This looks practically identical to the older Gm_Hide maps. Staticbound had a unique setting and would legit hold up as its own horror game.

When will be release of Gm Hide academy?

Your Gm_hide maps are the best! It's great to see another addition to the series.

please fix this.

[gm_hide_academy - beta] lua/autorun/client/cl_init.lua:1: attempt to index global 'GM' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/autorun/client/cl_init.lua:1

PLEASE ADD THE REMOVE WEAPONS FROM STATIC BOUND PLEASE OH MY GOD MY FRIENDS ARE JUST DESTROYING EVERYTHING AAAAAA

bet, thanks! It's been a bit since i've played a quality gmod horror map so im looking forward to the full version :D

acceptable assessment of the situation. I'll work on a better light source for the full version

maybe a lamp that emits light in all directions? idk. but if there's anything i've learned in my 12 years playing gmod, it's that tedious things like that, tend to be a turnoff to the map as a whole. I wanna devote my energy to being scared and the suspense of the map. Not lugging around a clunky prop to see clearly.

ok so there IS a flashlight later. got it. what im saying tho is maybe make is easier to get around without having to carry a prop with a beam of light emitting from it to see. some areas are fine bc there's candles or whatever, but some rooms are too dark to see in without light, and having to position the big clunky light source in the corner of the room so that i can see properly, is a huge pain in the ass

@Six The monster does despawn when it's finished, but it comes back after a short while. The light source is limited, and it is intentional. I want players to find the flashlight later on in the level to really have that progressing feel. It's a rough balance between scary and annoying, because sometimes limitations can become frustrating while sometimes bringing a great horror aspect.

okay so i played a bit and right off the bat i can see the detail put into it. I would suggest allowing the flashlight, or at least some alternate light source that doesn't involve lugging a prop around the map. That tends to get a bit tedious. It's very scary so far tho

does he despawn tho? or does he just stick around

You'll definitely know when he spawns. No, it's not immediate, you have to get about a third of the way.

this is actually really promising on paper. just subbed to the map so i haven't tried it yet, but now im excited. does the monster beeline for you immediately after spawning, or does he search for you? and, how do you know when he despawns?

boji It's not scripting, it's hammer logic. It's hundreds of relays firing at the right time and accordance...

also this is cool

can you guys add npc versions of the monsters separate from the map

does this cause any errors

@XephyrCraft how do you go about making these? like what is your process for mapping & making the map logic? I'm interested in trying to make my own small horror map someday but have no idea where to start. I understand mapping in Hammer fine but as far as scripting goes I have no idea lol

Full video is on YouTube, make sure check it out before you missed out of gameplay :)

@Engineer_ZY surprise it will be.

This seems to be the most consistent horror map series on the Steam Workshop, love your work!

I'm not going to play until the full version comes out, I want to be surprised

ANOTHER ONE?!?!?!?
epic

@Spooky Skully Added to page

@Stick I can do that.

i made trailer on your maps on my youtube :D

Good Beta

awesome map with 3 people, not sure if its supported, but I think maybe we could use more than 1 ghost detector in multiplayer for light sources
