Greetings comrades! We, a collective of student game developers, are engaged in the creation of a Cold War-themed stealth game.
A short introduction to our game:
This game is a stealth horror game based around the concept of spatial audio! Using both Unity’s built in audio spatialization tools and the Steam Audio toolkit we are aiming to create an immersive auditory experience that will help guide you through the game to eventually escape the Soviet laboratory you are currently stuck in.
For this iteration we focused on improving the game's storyline, player guidance, and audio levels.
What’s new:
- Added original textures to the environment
- Changed the player’s camera movements
- Changed the audio test scene to be more dynamic
- Added new events to the lab level
- Improved audio levels.
- Added a new feature - sound mimicking
- Revamped the office level and added more events
- Added more specific story elements, including original voice over content to better guide the player through the facility
Motivations:
- We made these changes to:
- Fix existing bugs:
- L1: Player being able to jump over the blockade
- L2: Some characters walk past the player without any interaction
- Improve gameplay:
- Player couldn’t tell they were walking forward or not
- Giving player the ability to adjust mouse sensitivity
- L1: Making the collapse more clear
- Narrow down our focus to a Cold War themed game:
- More theming
Looking ahead, our plans for the forthcoming iteration include:
- For our next iteration, we are planning to further develop the Cold War theme, with the possibility of a third bonus level in the game!
- We also are attempting to further develop the auditory environment, especially in the second level, giving the player more objects to interact with and discover through.
- Fix glitches in the level geometry (getting rid of overlapping textures and making current textures more appealing)
In solidarity, we stride forward toward the realization of our vision!
~note - for mac builds if it doesn’t work, then try cd-ing to the folder and typing in “xattr -rc *.app” into terminal.
