Information

Resident Evil: Distant Memories tries to tie on where the newer Resident Evil titles have failed. It brings back the survival horror that the fans of the old school games have missed for so long and also makes use of the gameplay mechanics that the old games are loved for by simply using RESIDENT EVIL 2`s engine.

Story

Germany in the year 2005, somewhere near the german/austrian border. German intelligence has appointed an agent named Wolfgang Diefenthaeler to gather information about several people that have been abducted out of nearby villages. All information gathered seems to point into the direction of the multinational Umbrella corporation who own a mansion located on a remote landstrip. The Kretschmann mansion.

A building that was built a few decades before world war 2 and used by german army scientists for researching biological and chemical weapons that were intended to be used in the war. It also contained a prison in which POWs and civilians were used as human guinea pigs. After the war, it was abandoned and left to rot. It was later bought by none other than Oswell E. Spencer after he discovered it on one of his business travels to europe. He got in contact with Hans Glebe, a german star architect that already worked for the german government and other big companys. Glebe tried his best to fulfill Spencer`s visions but often had arguments with him about several things that he found rather suspicious like traps and the reconstruction of the prison sector of the mansion. Nevertheless Glebe completed his task and the building was used again as a base of research, this time under the flag of the just established Umbrella corporation.

When contact with Diefenthaeler was lost, german intelligence requested immediate backup and got in contact with their american colleagues which suggested to mobilize experts that already had gathered experience with Umbrella. These experts are Rebecca Chambers and Barry Burton who both immediately make their way to germany. Escorted by german agents they finally get dropped out right in the near of the Umbrella estate where the horror again begins...

Well that one room certainly demonstrates some atmosphere - and I like the concept.. hope to see more good things from this in the near future.

[Darkmoon]

That's the dog hallway from RE1 with a re-skin, yeah? Nice looking, though.

and as a special treat here is a couple of renders of a certain character that really needs more involvement with the series:

[Chris' Boob]

One of the better mods out there, on par with Dark Biohazard...if it's even still in production.

How far are you into production?

[TheMortician]

Thanks

About the progress it`s hard to say, because not everything is planned out yet. We already got a lot of stuff together but we are still at in a really early stage of development. We (DXP and me) are concentrating on creating the rooms at the moment. Got maybe a third of the rooms in concept or already 3d built versions

Rest assured that we will definitely throw out something playable as soon as its possible ;) We will also release a trailer once we have decided to show you all some new REM footage

brionirons whats happening with the othr re3 mod with rebecca?

[BrionIrons]

No clue.Im not part of that team.

[Rick Hunter]

It looks good, the graphics are really nice. Keep up the good work, can't wait to play that mod

[mister 888]

Your project sounds great, i loved Rebecca's sprite face, very original live intro....You deserve a huge respect for that.

[Borman]

If you need someone to proofread your English, let me, or someone else for that matter, know. Quite a few mistakes in the first couple of seconds in the newest video on ModDB.

[BrionIrons]

sure.no problem

[Darkside05]

Just to clear some things up (beat Mortician to it ;) )

The team has changed the name of RESIDENT EVIL: DARK MEMORIES to RESIDENT EVIL: DISTANT MEMORIES.

We also have to announce that one of our founding members HecRPD had to leave the team due to team internal disagreements. He will continue to use the old name "Dark Memories" of the mod for one of his own projects.

The project is still very much alive and progress has been done since the last couple of videos, the next couple of months will be very fun for the team and the project.

[Darkmoon]

I much prefer the new title.

[gadesx]

brutal! I prefer this one type Resident evil than Resident evil 5 :p

[Sevket]

Looks great
