"An unending delirium, yet you take another drink. The last one... Blurred shapes of other people pass by, not even noticing your woeful state. How long has it been? Since you have become a victim in your own life? Are you, by any chance, looking for an escape?"

Disadventure tries to splice non-linear shotcut based layout with a sense of randomization in the events. During which, after escaping the initial room, the player must escape an entire castle. Following the design principles of Dark Souls and other FromSoftware games, we directed gameplay reminiscent of Resident Evil (8) and the base game Bunker. The world was built with realistic geometry in mind, the separate levels don't collide in real time and space, and are situated exactly where they should be.

The project featured:
- Nostalgic assets ported from the HPL2 engine, in upscaled quality
- New and modified AI agents, a BOSS FIGHT
- Full custom OST by Skog. https://soundcloud.com/user-827003839/sets/disadventure
- Advanced customized lamps and personal lighting mechanics
- Changed player model with custom textures, animations and sounds

After the former year's solo effort I teamed up with other talented content creators, creating the following team roster:
- Myself (Creative lead, World design + asset porting)
- Jonathan Berg "TheBackPackPlayer94" Ekvall (Level co-design, puzzles)
- José Ignacio "Doctor D." Thous (Technical lead, model edits, cutscenes)
- Hannes "Skog." Skoglund (Music composer, sound effects)

In addition, we received support in the sound department by the following awesome people:
- Georgios "Skote" Georgakis (Sound/material design)
- Olivia "Aurora" Steele (Voice acting)

While the mod didn't score a podium place in the lineup (which was tougher than ever before), the Frictional Games dev team provided the following feedback on the project (shared by community manager Oskar Larsson):

"This could be a standalone game considering the scale here! The first beautifully realized area really sets the tone for this one, stunning stuff."

"I really do have to commend this one for the sheer ambition - impressive!"

"Wow, this area is huge! Some areas look pretty cool. It was easy for me to get lost though and I did get stuck a couple of times and didn't always know where to go next."

Development may resume in the future with content updates, patches, and a planned major expansion/sequel. The project's development cycle was also supported by GitHub. https://github.com/kiraimmortalhu/escapade_hpl3
