Re: vertical stealth, what about having some areas where the guards can relevel the playing field - e.g. have an area of overhead machinery gantries, but if the guards see you up there, they pull a lever, and the whole gantry lowers to ground level. Probably a bit over-specific and tricky to implement but could be cool.

I'm going to try and do regular weekly updates on (http://nickdablin.wordpress.com/about/) Wheelbound, to help keep me motivated.(http://nickdablin.wordpress.com/2014/03/15/its-a-jungle-out-there/) This week is mostly about more killer plants:

Nick - that's interesting, but as you said, would be difficult to implement and wouldn't handle all scenarios (like climbing on top of crates). Still, the idea of moving gantries would be a perfect application of my new gearheart gizmo hehe.

And nice read on your blog, I enjoyed that. Do post more updates :) Speaking of which, here's mine for the week. Would love TTLG's thoughts on the Gizmo reusability/upgradability ideas im brainstorming.

This week developing my second indie game was all about the mechanics and tools of infiltration, tampering with the game world to open new pathways.

Read your blog, sounding very cool, really coming along.
However one thing, I find the word gizmo to be quite annoying. I really think you should change it to something more generic like tool or device. Just my opinion of course, but for some reason its very grating.

Great read. Looking great.

Totally agree - gizmo is one of the most irritating words ever. Tool would suffice. Or item.

What about "doohickey"?

Awwww I like the word :( but I guess the people have spoken. Focus testing at its finest :p

On the topic of names, I think it's time I settle on one for the game. I've been kicking around a few ideas:

Karaski
Indelible Clouds (or Skies/Heights/Flight/Effect?)
Indelible Vessel (or Indelible Steel Vessel)
Above Indelible Clouds (or similar)
Erratic

The first is my current "project name" and first choice, but being a made up/foreign word I've been realizing it might not be the best. And i do like "indelible" as it plays into the the consequences of your actions i'm going for as well, but want to combined it with something since the word itself is trademark (which, I know, isn't 100% protection as we saw in the banner saga, but at least provides disambiguation)

Eitherway, whatever i pick it can't be as ungooglebale as Postmortem hehe :p

I quite like Indelible *****. Karaski sounds cool too, and it's less likely to be confused with a word like 'inedible'. In the end it's up to you though.

june gloom on 19/3/2014 at 11:28

Well what's the context for Karaski? Because you could always go for The Indelible Karaski if that works.
