That's a great discovery. Is it the door that occludes their vision or something?
This is looking fab.

Nice work Koob. I'm digging everything so far.

Thanks for the compliments guys and nicked, that's cool. I want to fastforward like 10mins in when the whole stage is just rife with tons of overgrowing vegetation :D Is it mostly background or are you basing gameplay around it somehow? Looks like it could have some interesting potential there.
EDIT: Playing around with new level and stealth mechanics, figure I'd have some fun and pay a little inspirational homage ;)

If one of the seeds hits the player, it grows out of your head and kills you, so it's an obstacle to be avoided. There's also a few limits in place to stop it getting out of hand.
Love the robot! Makes it look like one of Sliptip's futuristic Thief missions.

Just wanted to say I enjoy your dev diaries, Yakoob, and I'd love to play your game when it's done :) I also volunteer as a playtester!
Regarding the verticality problem ... make it more risky. Too many games fall into the trap of making verticality risky by putting guards up high. Instead, make the guards shoot at you ... and make the guns massively OP. :P

That actually makes me want to go get Shadowrun just so I can play :|
EDIT: On my end, I've gotten a proper player controls going (yep, there's lean!) and been crafting gameplay. You know, I was sneaking around vents, running away from guards, with Deus Ex soundtrack in the background and realized... it kinda "felt right." Hope I'm on the right track :)

I'm considering whether I should make them require a special oxygen mask or... getting yourself drunk to stay warm :laff:

Human Revolution.

The weird compass thing in the corner is the direction of the X/Y/Z axes for reference when you're modelling stuff in 3D space. That's a shot from the level editor.
