Watch Where you Shoot

The next major update will be coming rather soon for our prototype, including a new level, and as a result, we weren’t quite sure what to talk about today. However, I realized that I hadn’t really brought up one of our more interesting stealth aspects yet, and so to explain, Keri handed the blog to me today.

So what is this great new game changer? Steam. Not the games provider, but heated water vapor. You see, throughout the game there are pipes running along floors, ceilings, and the walls that if you shoot, steam will burst forward. Most people will think of this as a cool aesthetic detail, but it does more than that. Breaking open one of the steam pipes in a level will attract several enemies towards it to investigate, giving you a chance to sneak past without using all of your precious ammo. We also have begun designing several more tools for the player to use that will help make stealth a little easier, and fun.

We look forward to sharing more information about the game and its mechanics in the coming months. If you are interested in helping us with the game, we are still looking for a 3D character designer and a texture artist.
