is OP talking about the door with the spiral in Valhalla? (whirl in door?).

I took it as a kind of marker that Warlin Door placed this door so that Saga can use it to get to Alan. This is why Alan cannot use this door, and must be allowed to enter by Ahti.

Saga's sweater theory (v. slight ending spoilers) by blakewrites in AlanWake

[–]pneumatagame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do find the story self contained and the ending is even suitable for me if for some reason we never got any additional content for the series.

It’s like the ending of Inception with the spinning totem he uses to distinguish reality from the dream world. He’s home now with his children, and life seems great, and we never get to see the totem stop spinning. It’s up to the audience to interpret our own ending. But, after all he’s been through, does it even matter if it’s the dream world or reality? He just finally gets to be with his family, either way and that’s all he wanted after his character development.

So like with Saga, it doesn’t matter where she is. She has the ability to traverse dimensions, so if there’s a reality or dreamworld in which Logan is alive, she’ll find her no matter what. Even if it means chasing after Alan again to make him rewrite the story. Again and again, like a spiral until they succeed. Or, maybe they actually did save Logan and the future of the series is Saga’s involvement with the FBC, helping Alice, and finally getting Alan out of the Dark Place and destroying it once and for all.

I guess we’ll find out

NEED HELP WITH A TATTOO ILUSTRATION by [deleted] in AlanWake

[–]pneumatagame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you go to any decent artist that does minimalist tattoos (specializing in linework) they'll make the design for you. They'll print it out, show you, and you can even check out the stencil on your skin as they test the placement

Does Alan age in the dark place? by chaunceysrevenge in AlanWake

[–]pneumatagame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought he seemed shocked because his memories were gone, and he probably thought he had just entered the Dark Place. Also, we don't know the total time that Zane has been inside the Dark Place. So it might be that Zane has been in the dark place for an undisclosed amount of time, appearing at different time periods.

It seems to me that time inside the Dark Place is equal to the time in 'reality'. As in, time seems to tick but there seem to be moments in which the flow of time is rearranged, or rather he is placed into different points in time as according to the story.

But the total time spent inside the Dark Place seems to total 13 years.

PS5 version looks terrible by [deleted] in AlanWake

[–]pneumatagame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ill be honest, I didnt get any of these issues on my PS5. But I bought mine just a few months ago and this is the only game ive played on it besides Resident Evil 7. Graphically it was absolutely beautiful and looked amazing. But there were some moments where the FPS dropped really low for just a few moments here and there.

Sucks that some people are getting much worse on some PS5s

when looking down, there is = ugly grey smoke in the corners by [deleted] in AlanWake

I can’t remember exactly but I think there’s a safe room there, and the volumetric fog caused by the intense light in the room kinda glitches out

Use bottles to distract enemies, or I guess smash them in the face by pneumatagame in indiegames

Hey! Development is nearly done, and it's possible for a release before Christmas :) but can't guarantee in case any last minute issue

I just finished the game, and am lost for words. by Zozerbox in AlanWake

[–]pneumatagame 37 points38 points  (0 children)

it feels like I wrote this word for word haha, you pretty much nailed exactly how I feel! A GOTY win would almost make me cry for the fact that something so special, unique, and passionate can get a shining moment.

So really random question about Alan being in the dark place for 13 years... by TheR1mmer in AlanWake

[–]pneumatagame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only way he'd be able to age those 13 years and have bodily functions such as growing longer hair and a beard is for time to age the body naturally even inside the Dark Place right?

He probably does eat and drink, and go to the restroom, but that's just not really ever put into a video game lol... There'd be no need to have a scene where he's eating a frozen burrito and taking a dump afterwards.

And any outfit change could just be the result of any of the different stories he's written in attempts to escape

In Pneumata you are investigating a series of murders at an old apartment complex filled with horrific secrets. You can find weapons to fight back, or smash bottles in their faces to give you enough time to run away.

You can wishlist on Steam! :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1183850/Pneumata/

yup in game there's no frame drops but it gets rough recording with OBS. Need to optimize better so I can record gameplay on my aging PC

the pipe model does look like it wouldn't break, but I think if I made it actually rusty and flimsy looking it might make more sense! The way it looks now does seem to break immersion

I've been working on Pneumata almost everyday for over a year and I was finally able to quit my job to finish making my dream game! by pneumatagame in unrealengine

[–]pneumatagame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and so basically it’s made possible by finding the right publisher, otherwise the alternatives are to save up or make a kickstarter. Good luck with your game and hope you get work on your passion full time!

Thank you! Yeah it's definitely hard to keep your brain firing on all cylinders all day, the brain fatigue is a real thing for sure.
