In 1867, ASB was founded by a mysterious criminal figure. It was a private corporation with its sole purpose being global domination. Its intentions were masked to the public by the legitimate packaging business it had as a front. Another mysterious figure, rich, powerful and clever enough to deduce that ASB was behind the recent crime wave, founded WEC, a corporation whose sole task was to prevent the ASB from achieving their goal. Since then, an invisible war was fought between these two private corporations. Over the years, WEC had been slowly disrupting the ASB's operations and preventing their plans from being materialised. After destroying most of the ASB's assets, WEC sent their best Agent to the heavily guarded ASB Base in order to destroy both it and what was left of the ASB once and for all.

This chapter talks about the usage of light as a gameplay element.

Posted by on

In order to help an infiltrator realise the environment, light has been extensively used as a gameplay element.
Different colours of light have been used depending on what the player needs to notice.
For example, guards' line of sight is shown via a red light, pickups via a cyan light and area interaction is noted via a green light.
Simple Concept, pick up C4 from here and place it on the wall there!
In order to make things more interesting, as the infiltrator's visibility multiplier heightens, which is done by being exposed to the environmental light or by running, the screen's colours gradually fade away into a completely greyscale image that can be achieved only when standing directly under a light's source. It significantly cripples the infiltrator's environmental awareness and further emphasises the deadliness of the light.
Grayscale spells trouble, the infiltrator is unable to distinct the blue camera light behind them.

Private Infiltrator will be released on PC and Mac soon. We only need to overcome certain obstacles regarding 3D modelling and animation.

Until the next chapter, the WEC administration wishes you a happy espionage day.
Remember to report any signs of ASB to your closest WEC security room.
