I am starting a mini-RPG kind of thing. It will be single player, and I will try to screw with the player's mind as much as possible. 
This RPG will not be centered on combat. Instead, it will be mainly puzzle based, picking up Items and figuring out where to use them. I will use as many creative effects as possible all over the place. The combat in the map will be mostly random spawns running around the place or whatever. The map will be on a 128x128 Installation, small enough to give enough area, big enough to have it feel "empty". I'll be going for a scary/psycho kind of atmosphere.
The player will take the role of playing Moose, the character in the map, and there will be a few other characters roaming around to help or hurt him. Healing will be done through Item Healing and limited stationary heal spots (remember that healing systems topic I made?). Items will be stored in an inventory, with a limit of 3, and of course you can drop some. You will be able to build Scarabs at a Reaver to examine things and such.
Well, I have a nice storyline that will hopefully screw with people's minds. I'll try to use as many mind-bending effects to do so, and wish me luck. Hopefully I can get some major mapping done, because I have too many ideas and such little time/motivation. Oh, and sorry to disappoint you, I don't make TRAILERS.

Hmm, installation maps rule!
If you don't make the terrain nice I'll have to kill you.
By the way, the only reason Valahan and I made a trailer was because we really wanted to hype Darkened and also I like my maps to have a film like quality, so a trailer sounded perfect to me. Also I read your post again and it seems like this map will have alot in common with Darkened... but meh, I don't mind since I'm better than you.

Well, atleast Moose doesn't think that Trailers are uberifiic and to be made for every map in production.
Anyways, there's only one putoff I have... 1-player?!
GOD I hate non-multiplayer maps!
ATLEAST add 1 Observer spot so you can have friends watch you play, dl it from you without having to search the DLDB, and chat without /f m all the time!

Hard to screw with your mind if you got other people in there with you, talking or going 'hey, whats that sound?", or "what? what? what was that last time? someone explain to me what happend!!1"

Why not make it multiplayer if its going to be mini and make it a race to see who can finish the rpg first and figure out all the puzzles along the way.

Moose, just make it funny/good and I'll play it. 
Make sure you use advanced techniques to throw in something people will look at and go "WTF IS THAT???!?!?".

Have really scary sounds, then play like happy sounds after.

Yeah, have like the sound of someone's throat getting ripped out, but then have like a fart or something. That unexpected sound would have people ROFL!

Sounds fun, Moose. But don't show anyone the map yet. Some people here seem to be eyeing it up and it could be stolen...

Eh, Moogle, the many other Lands of Moose have nothing to do with this one. (for the rest of you, trust me, there have been alot) I'm just reusing the name.
I like that random sound effects idea, I'll probably do it.

OK, posting an update. I'm done with the introduction scene. I may add an observer slot, I don't know. I'm also halfway through with the terrain. Right now I'm figuring ways to make the terrain so that my ideas can go into it. Gogo.
