Another race between Nitram, Ramisme, and Voukras! This time played on v3.1 with the new randomized goal locations in Area 51.

Having previously added Crowd Control support and a randomizer to UT99, TheAstropath decided to port the mutators over to Unreal Tournament 2004! As of today, Crowd Control now has public support for UT2004 and streamers can let their viewers influence the game in a variety of ways!

TheAstropath also made a randomizer that has a number of options from simply shuffling existing items around the level, to entirely changing what weapons and ammo are available.

If you don't stream, the pack also includes a "Simulated Crowd Control" mutator which will occasionally pick a random effect and apply it to your game, giving you the general flavour without needing to actually stream online (or have viewers, etc).

These various mutators work both in Instant Action games, as well as multiplayer games, so you can even share the pain with friends!

If you want to check it out, you can grab the latest version of these mutators over here!

 

I found this cool old website for The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, and T7G3: The Collector. The author is "Bones the Caretaker". The section of the website for The Collector says "Copyright site-design and written content by Paul van der Meer 2003".

Wait a minute, I know that name! Paul van der Meer is the director of The 7th Guest VR and Project Lead at Vertigo Games!

I don't know how old this website is, but it doesn't exist anymore. Luckily the Wayback Machine captured most of it (missing a bunch of images).

Unfortunately the Wayback Machine is a little slow, so navigating around the house in this way is a bit of a pain, and the split screen isn't sized properly for modern screens.

So I made this tweaked version that can be easily self-hosted or downloaded, and it runs much faster.

If you're lazy, the easiest way to see the whole site is to go to the map page and middle click every link. T7G Map and T11H Map

Here's a list of different places you can chat about this series of games. We're a bit divided, but the fans are out there!

!stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com - This Lemmy community, you're here right now! If you need a Lemmy account then go here and make the account. (Sorry, my server is too weak!) If you already have a Mastodon account (and you're feeling brave/technical) then you can put @stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com into the search box there and follow that account.

https://discord.gg/Hss5cJg - Stauf's Mansion Discord. Pretty active with a good number of fans. ALSO HAS Stream Detective so you can find people streaming these games on Twitch! Very fun to watch people fumble through the puzzles for the first time and chat with them, just be careful with backseating. Make sure you assign yourself the roles to get notifications for Stream Detective, ask in there if you need help.

https://www.reddit.com/r/7thguest/ - Reddit community. Not very active, but with a good post or crosspost there could be people from outside the subreddit finding it.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/the13thdoll - Facebook group. Lots of fans for all the games here, very active.

https://mastodon.social/tags/the7thguest - Mastodon hashtag #the7thguest, you can follow hashtags on Mastodon so they automatically show up on your home feed, very handy! Also check the hashtags for #the7thguestvr, #the11thhour, and #the13thdoll and whatever else you want.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_7th_guest_series - GOG Forum. Mostly tech support questions but there are a lot of fans there.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_13th_doll_a_fan_game_of_the_7th_guest - again a GOG Forum but for The 13th Doll. Still mostly tech support questions.

https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=the%207th%20guest - Twitch categories so you can watch people playing the games live and chat with them (just be careful with backseating). Open each one and click Follow to add the game to your followed categories list. But honestly you're better off joining the Discord and using the Stream Detective inside there.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/The7thGuest?f=live - Twitter hashtag #the7thguest. Unfortunately you can't follow a hashtag on Twitter, so you gotta just check it manually. Also check hashtags for #the7thguestvr, #the11thhour (although there's some noise in there), #the13thdoll, and any other game you want. (Make sure to switch to the "Latest" tab instead of "Top")

Any other places with fans of the series? Let me know! I'm mostly hanging out here and in Discord, but I'll probably see you if you post to any of the others!

 

Ok I love you Stauf Mansion Fan, but the exclusion of "Downstairs" is inexcusable, I would've removed "Down in the Drain" for it. https://thefatmanandteamfat.bandcamp.com/track/downstairs

Reminder that The 7th Guest VR is expected to release about 15 hours from now! I hope to be streaming it on Twitch ASAP https://twitch.tv/die4ever2011
