Thank you for the appreciation

The next update will show the movable props, like crates barrels etc, and the light interaction :P

I'm confused- is that a gameplay video? Or just showing off the assets?

I didn't really catch any gameplay elements- i.e. stealth, combat, puzzles, etc...

Did I miss it?

Looks real nice, though!

Its footage from within the game yes, its an atmospheric walk around the level with some sound design, soo that the viewer can understand a bit of the mood that is evoked.
the part with more complex gameplay, is beeing build, especificly the interaction with the enviroment, dynamic lights, puzzles, stealth, and soo on. Combat will be next, once that stage is fully tested. And thank you for the kind reply, its always good to boost moral :P

I think the majority of us would like to see what Goldmoon Dawn asked for.

Now lets see some kind of Light Gem that the guards react to, or anything you can think of to make this a hide in the shadows game, as opposed to a run through cool looking environments game.

Very good point

I am trying a diferent method besides the light gem, some sort of immersive visual effect, that offers the same information to the player. Or in extreme do you think a person show punish the player if he dosnt know if hes hiddin in the shadows or half in between?

**Brethren** · 28th Jun 2013 11:31

You should make a foggy, black shroud type thing around the edges of the screen that flashes and pulses as you move in and out of darkness.

**upversive** · 1st Jul 2013 19:39

Good ideia, im trying out several visual solutions that can fit the theme.
The next update will be torches, doors, ladders, and crates interactivity.

**Vae** · 1st Jul 2013 19:51

No, Don't do that!...Brethren was joking...

**upversive** · 1st Jul 2013 23:25

Well i was trying to avoid using the Thief Gem, but perhaps i can have a diferent method of resolving the problem :P

**Vae** · 2nd Jul 2013 08:27

I could suggest a grand solution, but then I'd have to kill you...or at least become a partner...

**Ghostly** · 2nd Jul 2013 09:18

This looked very interesting, one question though in terms of AI, are they able to moderate the light, i.e. can they render invisibility accordingly to if they walk in shadows and render visibility under light sources?

**upversive** · 2nd Jul 2013 10:05

You ask if the AI can interact with lights, and be more visible or less depending if they are in the shadows or not?
Well the first one is yes, the AI will have the same features of the Human Team, Take torches in,out, climb ladders, interact with enviroments, he will try to mimic the player capabilities.
Regarding the shadows hide thats a good question, thats another dilema that i have to experiment with.

Yes that what I meant, to mimic the player capabilities of hiding in shadows visually.

**upversive** · 2nd Jul 2013 17:04

Yes, thats the intention, that the AI emulates the Human player team

**henke** · 2nd Jul 2013 18:28

Nice progress so far, htmlsam. Good luck with programming the AI. I'm looking forward to the next update.

**upversive** · 3rd Jul 2013 02:12

Thank you henke

I hope the programmer can pull it off
