The game became available to pre-order on 16 August 2013, and was released on 10 September 2013 to mixed reviews from critics. While set in the same universe as the previous game, it features a new cast of characters and time setting. Originally meant to be a mod, the game is an indirect sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which was both developed and produced by Frictional Games. But I think they can all be quite interesting for anyone learning gamedev, or that are just curious how Amnesia worked under the hood.Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a survival horror video game developed by The Chinese Room and published by Frictional Games. Obviously, all these things are decade old and nothing new. Lots of other basic rendering and gameplay tech all implemented in an a coherent engine structure.Own sound system implemented using OpenAL.Fairly advanced system for physics sounds.Very simple state machine AI that still gives rise to fairly interesting and intelligent agents.A full editor with lots of interesting feature that such as picking algorithms and view fitting.
It is also a testament that it is possible to do this sort of thing, even with a very limited team. While the code is not the greatest in places and the tech used is not the latest, it is a fully contained game engine in a fairly easy-to-understand package. I also hope this release can be of help to anyone wanting to create their own engine or just wanting to learn more about game programming. We are all really excited to see what comes out of it! The modding community has been incredibly creative over the years and it will be fun to see what it can do with the full source code at its disposal. But now that Amnesia: The Dark Descent has had its 10th anniversary and Amnesia: Rebirth is less than a month away, we just couldn’t wait any longer! Unfortunately there has always been something else we had to attend to instead. It feels like we could have released this source code a long time ago. Think of the release as “free speech”, not “free beer”. The game and all of its content is still owned by Frictional Games.
It just means that people are free to use the source however they want as long as they adhere to the GP元 licence. Very important note: This doesn’t mean that the game is suddenly free. The code release contains all the game code for both The Dark Descent and A Machine For Pigs. So today we are releasing the full source code for Amnesia: The Dark Descent under GPL v3: This flood of user content has been amazing to see and we are extremely grateful for the whole community surrounding it all. For instance, over the years The Dark Descent has accumulated over a thousand mods and addons on ModDB.
