I overworked myself on this, I worked too fast. It affected my personal life and caused a lot of problems. What I would do differently is to not spend that much time. Were there any hiccups along the way? Would you do anything differently looking back?ДЄndreas:В Yeah correct, I spent too much time on it, and that is the problem. IGM: YouвЂ™ve been working on Cry of Fear for an astonishingly long time. But since I didnвЂ™t want to create any sequel, I decided to use the ideas for Cry of Fear. Also I used a lot of ideas for Cry of Fear which I had saved for other games, such as Afraid of Monsters 2. Although most of the times I got ideas from my dreams. What originally inspired you when creating them? Were they just spontaneous creations, or did it take a lot of planning to come up with monsters as disturbing as these?ДЄndreas:В Yet again, the design for the monsters just grew like the story did. IGM: The monsters in Cry of Fear are utterly nightmarish.

Cry of Fear is a personal project for me, where I could make and create whatever I wanted and felt. The horror only appeared because I like horror.

I only worked on the mod to make it fun to play. I personally havenвЂ™t cared about making Cry of Fear that scary, it just appeared to be scary. IGM: Given your experience in making horror mods, what unique challenges does this genre present and how do you go about conquering them?ДЄndreas:В ThereвЂ™s not really any challenge I care about. Most of us in the team share the same awful experience in life I think. But since I wasnвЂ™t alone working on this, his personality also reflects our team members. Not only is Simon modelled and textured using me as reference, his personality also reflects mine. IGM: ItвЂ™s been suggested by some that SimonвЂ™s character is a sort of abstract, hyperbolic autobiography for you, is there any truth to this?ДЄndreas:В ThereвЂ™s certainly a truth to that. Why Cry of Fear is so dark is mainly because of the hard times I had in life during development, which reflected on the mod, since the story was being worked on at the same time during production. The story for the mod grew as we were working. After a while, it just turned out to be Cry of Fear. Eventually James joined me and started helping me with code. I just kept working and kept adding stuff. What happened was that I just started working on something which I didnвЂ™t know what would happen with. How did you originally come up with the idea for it?ДЄndreas:В I didnвЂ™t really come up with the idea like that.

IGM: YouвЂ™ve been making horror mods for quite a while now, but Cry of Fear is distinctly darker than any of your other works. ItвЂ™s creator,В Andreas RГ¶nnberg is no stranger to the horror genre or mod development, creating the cult hit вЂњAfraid of MonstersвЂќ at just thirteen-years old.ДЇollowing the mods frenzied release, I caught up with the man behind the madness. For those of you who arenвЂ™t, itвЂ™s a survival-horror FPS total-conversion mod inspired by the likes of Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil, featuring some of the best graphics ever seen in a Gldsrc game and has been in development for a really, really long time. Those of you who are involved in the modding scene in any way, or have even visited ModDB in the last few years will no doubt be aware of the astonishingly ambitious Cry of Fear mod for Half Life 1.
