Enola is a horror/adventure game about fear, isolation and murder. You play as an unnamed woman who has awoken on a desolate island, without any knowledge of her whereabouts. Over the course of your travels you find there is something else on the island...something dark and evil lurking in the shadows. Visit foreboding locations, solve intriguing puzzles and find clues to uncover mysteries about the island and your own identity. You’ll have to be quick and cunning to survive; but do you have what it takes to save another life?
Shadow men got moves!
I’ve been working on some mocap for Enola using iPi desktop motion capture, and I wanted to show you a glimpse of what we’re doing with it.

Angelica animation test
Last week I was testing the motion capture setup using my Playstation Eye cameras and iPi Desktop Motion Capture. The system yelds pretty decent results, considering I only have 2 cameras, and I’m about...

Enola gets motion capture!
A while ago I wrote about using Face Robot (a facial animation module in Softimage) for facial animation, but I still hadn’t addressed the body animation. My idea was to use an image-based motion capture...

Building characters (building Angelica)
Today I want to talk (or rather, write) about characters and why this matters. In some games, characters are "empty vessels" that players step into, but in other games, characters are something more...

Man this numbers trap is killing me
But anyhow A divided A would have to = 1 since anything divided by itself equals 1 except for 0 of course.
lol, later I realized that trap was too hard. I mean, it was meant to be hard, but not THAT hard, so I added another hint to it to make it "easier" to understand, but so that you don't have to wait until the next update to get the hint, I'll
put it here:
P
A / B = DEATH
A / A = :)
BTW the "/" is the "division" symbol.
Well I haven't been cermoniously shredded to death by double barrel shotgun yet. To afraid to click any buttons.
Kool, but I am not wasting time on a partial done game. There is all of zero incentive to ever play it again if I touch it now, and it will leave nothing but bad opinions on the work you have done thus far due to unfinished, bugs, no polish, no optimization. I don't get why devs release alpha versions, but do about release proper beta versions. Just a waste of time and effort to put oneself through a broken unfinished product.
"I don't get why devs release alpha versions, but do about release proper beta versions"
Well in Enola's case, it's for funding purposes because we don't have any money to make it, because anyone can buy it now and not play it until the full game is released, while others may play every (other) version to see the changes. Releasing alphas to me is a proof that the game is actually being developed, because we could very well just open a "pre-order" page with nothing more than a promise of a game (similar to Kickstarter, where many projects in general never materialize).
Game looks great-I've watched the video on here, looked at all the screenshots, as well as read comments etc, and I am definitely buying it Friday (payday)! Not that $10 would make or break my week LOL But, I have a $95 cart on here full of new games I want and I couldn't pick and choose so I am buying them all together Friday! also love that there aren't any monsters, because I have enough games to play like that-whereas this seems more like the Dark Fall series, (my favorite trilogy of games) where it is scary as hell in every other way but.
Anyways-This probably sounds like a silly question, but the title Enola seemed so strange. I wondered if it is intentionally Alone backwards?I read in the summary that it is your name in the game, so perhaps it is an ethnic name, a family name, or one of the other millions of names I have never heard of. There are plenty of words that spell forwards to backwards to different words, ie Moor, and Room-without a major conspiracy to be crafty LOL. Just wondering :)
Hi and thanks a lot!
You're right, Enola is "alone" backwards and that's part of the concept, because in the game you're sort of "going back to your origins" and the word spelled backwards seemed like a nice way to hint that. On the other hand it's also a name, a woman's name actually. I don't know the exact origin, but it seems it's used a lot in France.
Thanks for the reply! I just purchased the alpha version yesterday! I haven't played it yet, but am looking forward to it :) Hope every little bit of $ helps to make this a full game. Can't wait to watch it progress!
Hello, yes, UDK can export to Mac, and I've actually run some builds on a Mac mini (although it runs slow because minis aren't very powerful). Getting a Mac is on my to-do list so I can fully test Enola and release it on that platform as well.
