GMOD VR: Exploring gm_Oldspaces (Stagnant Hostility)

[@feuerstern3001]

I love the scene when the black figure appears, you start to panic, try to close the door and then lock yourself in the same room as the figure. Just perfect

[@wisemysticaltree42069]

tbh I do that too in gmod I just go in a building and go full on home depot barricades

[@myusername1323]

I was about to comment the exact same thing wow

[@Kirik285]

Glad you finally gave it a shot! In the experience that I had, the more "TVs" you "Turned off" the more strange events were about to happen on the map. Like I genuinely could recall shadow figure being more often in the map with more TVs off, and some doors/walls would appear and disappear at times, blocking the path from one room to another. Still, good to see you enjoyed it!

[@NathanDavisVideos]

So that isn't the ONLY TIME that this "shadow figure" shows-up; but depending on what you do, like messing around with the TVs, the more frequently he shows up.

[@Kirik285]

EDIT: I believe I was wrong, since I went through the map again with all the triggers enabled, the door does disappear but that's unrelated to the TV amounts. The shadow man was actually seen in the office, not from liminal hotel, he closes the door. My bad! ​@@NathanDavisVideos Most likely, I could still be wrong, though. But basically in my experience: Pressing USE on the TV turns it off. I had about 2-3 disabled, and I absolutely remember seeing a black figurine from that window from the apartment in the liminal hotel, and the spawn area having one of the doors walled off afterwards, as in literally replaced by a wall that is blending really well, making you question if there really was a door or not. I only managed to confirm that the door was in fact there after i noclipped, lol

[@NathanDavisVideos]

@@Kirik285 Interesting... I did not about the "phantom door" by the spawn location. Maybe he should revisit this map sometime soon. Also: Supposedly I heard the creator of this map [@PnkBl4ck] may have updated this map as well as it's successor "Voidspaces" (as well as several of the _Voidplaces_ maps) since this video was created; but I cannot confirm it though. However I wouldn't really know anyway, because I don't even own _Garry's Mod..._ *Yet!* But I am working on possibly getting it sometime in the future. My brother has it though.

This is one of my favorite liminal space maps, honestly maybe even beating out voidspaces by a hair for how it stays fairly focused. You hit on a lot of what I like about it in this video, but at 11:41 I had to pause out of shock. The first time I entered this weird little annex I felt this overwhelming sense of "not supposed to be here" and "something bad is about to happen", which felt extremely weird (in a good way) to have you confirm. It really speaks to how good the atmosphere is and how mappers can create feeling with visual cues alone. There's not a single sign, convenient note, or hasty recording in this area that would indicate "not supposed to be here", but we both felt that so strongly. I love that. EDIT: I also gotta talk about 24:35, which definitely is one of my favorite parts of the map. My interpretation, with the way the wires bulge out from the abscessed ceiling, is that the complex itself somehow is wounded and bleeding at this point. Take that as you will, but it seriously creeped me out for the rest of my time here, and really contextualized why I felt so watched the whole time. It's alive.

[@dropman537]

Spooks aside this map is absolutely gorgeous about details and lighting

[@vicooficial]

19:32 In my opinion, the GREATEST jumpscare of the history of this channel. Even better than the door peeking one (forgot the name of the game). The surprise factor (thought it was just another "boring" liminal spaces map), the sudden buildup, the fact that Librarian missed the door when attempting to close himself on that room, and when finally is able to do it... the apparition vanished. Also: does the apparition used a Valve asset? Or it was a custom-made one?

[@acuddle]

Yeah, it's like the apparition just took pity on him or felt too guilty to stay and shyed away 😅

"the door peaking one" are you referring to his video of the"haunted" gm_shambles?

It would be really interesting to see a version of Liminal Hotel that flips the whole thing on its head by removing the ceiling to make it look like just a normal building. Imagine the feeling of seeing a non liminal liminal space.

[@Verdun16]

21:50 I like how he talks to the doors, expecting them to talk back

[@HighTechCinnamon]

I really think this is a master class on how to properly convey dream architecture. Everything flows together but share a theme. Whenever the shadow man shows himself its in an office space, and those are constantly coming back. It creates a loop of going to a new area and style and then back to an office where you feel like your life is being threatened just for walking around.

[@hot_soup4319]

I love The Librarian's VR videos man. Just the way they're structured is great. It feels like The Librarian isn't just a guy playing gmod. It feels like these are just random pocket dimensions, pieces of time and space ripped from they're original location and often mashed together with others. Its The Librarian's job to keep track of all these spaces and catalogue them, for what purpose remains unknown.

[@blademasterzero]

🤓akthually you used “they’re” when you should of used “their”🤓 /j

[@PnkBl4ck]

Wow, what a surprise. Again, I'm very happy to see this first project, which by the way, was inspired by your channel. at the time I created these types of maps inspired by liminal spaces, for myself, oldspaces started as a hl2ep2 map, but after I saw that the subject was starting to have visibility, I got up the courage and made oldspaces. and then I made it bigger with voidspaces, but thank you, really, I'm very happy, great video, I loved it :)

[@zengakukatsu]

Ever since I have watched your videos I have felt more connected with my dreams. I don't necessarily lucid dream where I can control aspects of it, but I feel like I have more agency, and drive to find the meaning of them. I have started to wander more in my dreams, finding seemingly endless structures. I have felt more of a drive, without necessarily knowing what the objective is. I have felt more emotion, especially an odd sense of calm and intrigue, which seems to contradict the eerie and hostile sense of my surroundings. It feels like I am looking for something, and the harder I try the more my dreams try to hide it.

[@MrDavi2006]

Played this map and on man, that shadowy figure is always watching you, i guess you didnt notice how most of the blocked doors with wood gets broken everytime you pass then, he is watching

[@mfaizsyahmi]

31:31 Spotlight streetlights always gets to me. Roadside streetlights are designed to flood as much of the road as possible with light. Direction of traffic wise their cone angle is like 150°, and transverse-wise much narrower, like 60°. Unfortunately even the Source engine doesn't support light trapezoids with different angles, but having a narrow beam of light from a street lamp lighting up 25ft^2 of the surface below doesn't make any sense. 99.5% of mappers got this wrong, even if they live in car-dependent hellholes.

[@Burabityn]

This looks so complex but zoom out and its all close together unlike the feeling you get before noclipping out, like a maze which you get so lost in that you think it's miles long but its only the size of a small house

[@Spinosaurus_Aegyptiacus]

I get hyped everytime i see a Notification and its YOU! I love your videos! You have a very calming Voice that makes the narration and the small puns extremely enjoyable. I think you are the best GMod KZbinr around nowadays. I barely cared about GMOD but you made me reinstall it and play some of the maps you made videos about (Like Asheville and the Krot Bunker) and I want to thank you for that. You made me find Joy in a Game i thought of as boring.

[@deepsnow4994]

Exactly the same situation here. Librarian is the kind of guy that gives you a reason to keep Gmod installed, just so you could try maps that he posted videos about (playing the maps before watching the videos, to not spoil anything, of course). Ever since I discovered this channel, it now works as a sort of "Good Gmod map recommendations channel" for me. And as a bonus we get a narrator who doesn't sound like one of those overly hyper-active "douchebag youtubers" that would yell and shout every few seconds in attempts to be funny.

[@altega]

this makes me want something like...digital urbex. i think that may be why these gmod vr videos are so appealing to me. its rare to see abandoned houses that still have stuff inside, but its always an incredibly emotional journey looking around and piecing together the life of a stranger based on their house, frozen in time. i bet someone could recreate that in gmod.

I was just chilling with some ramen thinking that he slapped the jumpscare warning on to keep people watching, and then bam. That was the best anything gas gotten me in a while.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

I think that the creator of this map did an excellent job at creating meaningful exploration paths. So many maps look like a bunch of different spaces and ambiances haphazardly stitched together, and lack fluidity or pace as you're exploring. This, instead, is the work of an experienced creator and should be taken as source of inspiration. Not to mention how lighting is brilliantly employed to deliver the right mood during exploration. Cheers! //Rick

[@KrishnaSaxena-sr6gj]

The most disturbing thing is that when there is no jumpscares in the map because, that eerie feeling only comes with it. Just remember, whenever you get a jumpscare you freaks out but, you get a relief for some time. That's why I am saying that if nothing happens, you will be always wondering, what was in that house? Why it gives me crazy spookes even if, nothing happened. Is am right?

[@L-N-L98]

Watching this after I just woke up definitely feels like a dream, I absolutely love the feeling this map gives off cuz there's no specific place your in you just go and go until you cant anymore

[@dreamagination-infinite]

Absolutely enjoyed this map! Loved the dusk ambience, the wood paneled areas and the grass room. Despite the jump scare early on I find this map rather cozy-creepy than creepy-creepy for the most part, with exception of the flooded area with the under water piping, THAT.IS.CREEPY, big NOPE. That one one flooded area with the high ceiling and the chairs and the daylight simulation 38:05 was totally fine, loved it actually, but the area that immediately followed, the deep pools and then the hallways, flooded, the green light, that made me feel nauseous.... that's a "nope...no thank you very much". . Overall, I love these GMOD liminal maps! I am obsessed with dream worlds, these liminal maps are just up my alley.

[@kktyr4580]

36:17 thats because you have whats called phantom sense, its mainly common on VR but in some cases can happen on other systems but phantom sense is when your brain is tricked into feeling a different sense, there are sever different types including but not limited to phantom pain, phantom taste and more, you would have phantom temperature

[@PanzerMan332]

This map in particular reminds me of a map called "Pareidolia" or something way back in the day. It was kinda the first liminal space map way before they became popular (actually it was a series of 2 or 3 maps). It was more of a puzzle/adventure map where you'd explore, solve puzzles, and occasionally fight combine soldiers. I'd love to see a video about them, I've never seen anyone talk about them before.

I feel like the constant changes in building design and geometry and such creates this sense of wearing you down, and it's probably even worse in VR. LIke you keep trying to look for a way out yet keep coming to new sections that transition into different sections ad infinitum. You keep thinking "this has to be it" and then it just keeps on going. Very much fits my sense that liminal space maps were designed for humans, by beings that are NOT human and don't actually understand anything human.

Greetings, The Librarian. Firstly I would like to thank you for your content. As many of your viewers write, your videos really act as an "escape", they help to abstract from the daily rush and anxiety, and for me personally, such content is rare. Thank you very much! Secondly, I would like to ask you something. Do you know anything about such a thing as "d-6.gro"? If not, then simply I can say that it's pretty... an interesting thing, and something tells me that it will be very interesting for you, and even for your channel and your narrative style. I am not aware of how well this topic is covered in the English-speaking segment of KZbin (I'm from Russia, as can be seen from my name 😀), but for example on the Russian-language Internet "d-6" (or as it is called "dysthymia-6") is very well known among fans of psychological horrors. This game seems to test you, puts you into a trance, and then, suddenly, turns everything upside down. Of the "bad" sides of this game, I can mention the rather difficult process of installing, and perhaps this can create certain difficulties. Also, "d-6" may seem boring at first, but believe me - this is just the calm before the storm. It will be a little awkward if you are already familiar with this product, and everything I wrote above will essentially be useless. 😄But nevertheless, it's great if you read it to the end. I also apologize for possibly incorrect and confusing vocabulary somewhere - I partly wrote all this by myself and partly used online translator. looking forward to new videos! ✌

[@patiann345]

Not finished with the video yet but I wanted to put something here before I forget, sorry if I stumble with my words; I really like the detail at 32:00 which I'm sad you hadn't commented on. When you walk into the room, the TV isn't pointed at the couch like you'd normally expect. It's pointed at you, along with the chairs (minus the couch of course) It gives the feeling of 'expectancy', like something or someone was waiting for you to come in. The TVs in this map and in Voidspaces feel very,, malicious, they've got bad vibes to them from the sounds to the event tied to the later section of Voidspaces, and that small detail I think really adds to that feeling in a nice way. Dunno how to really end my thoughts, just wanted to point it out since I didn't see anyone else mention it.
