Hey, there I played your beta and here are the problems I've experienced.

1. I couldn't find the second map in the file.
2. Enemy's are both blind and mostly deaf they only sometimes hear the noise I'm making.
3. When they do charge me they seem to just want to run into me and do no damage to me.

1. I decided to only publish one level for now. But there will be one or two additional levels later this month.
2. AI response time is known to be problematic. Unfortunately, that's just the way the AI is programmed.
3. Have you disabled invisibility and invincibility in the editor settings menu?

Ah, Okay thanks I'll do all that.

My beta feedback is that it's a bit too difficult if this is level 1 - there is no easing in period? I don't like the fact i'm fighting an unknown enemy in unknown quantity - i fired off a couple of shots into an enemy and before i knew it a bazillion of the things surrounded me, there was no safety net and i was unable to avoid being bombarded - I would suggest staging/ramping the enemy count up - much like FC or any other game out there: give the player hints through game play - it would have been nice if i could of seen the enemies coming at me through some kind of fence as a taster of what happens if you make too much noise and alert them - then later, perhaps 5mins of gameplay later an initial sequence of fighting 4-5, then the next time a hoarde situation occurs perhaps 10 and so on.

Framerate pretty bad here, not sure if that's down to the editor side of things?
Love the idea, think the actual gameplay needs more thought.. points for scaring the crap out of me though!

Thanks a lot for your feedback, it really helps! This is actually the fifth level, with the previous levels becoming increasingly difficult. Foreshadowing is a big part of the earlier levels, and will also be emphasized through the cutscenes.

I will however take your suggestions into account and decrease the amount of npcs at the start of the level, moving some of them closer to the station. The framerate being low is probably due to the fact your desktop is still active when playing in the editor. While the fullscreen app should take away some of the strain, this has always been an issue and it's not something we can really resolve. We have been optimizing the level and a revised version will be part of the next release, but editor performance will always be somewhat worse than the actual game. It's a shame Ubisoft did not add an option for us to play levels directly through the game, as this would significantly increase framerate and stuttering.

Thanks again for your feedback!
