When last we left our villain, He had just entered Area 51 and had discovered two new tech items to help him in his quest to destroy the puny humans.<\/p>\n

In order for us to make the line of sight and detection aspects of the game fun, we need to build some AI rules for encounters as well as a good set of\u00a0path finding\u00a0rules.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the mock-up for the general UI.<\/p>\n

You can see the UI art style is light, and fun, clearly not overly serious.<\/p>\n

The camera we\u2019re working with at the moment is a 3rd person POV, facing into a 3D world. Walls will block line of sight, and the player will have to use the level to successfully\u00a0outmaneuver\u00a0enemy NPCs.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a shot of the\u00a0path finding\u00a0going in, inside the Unity editor.<\/p>\n

The story outline as well as design progression outline are almost finished in first draft. We\u2019re shooting for a first playable by mid morning our time (I\u2019m in Shanghai, and Adam is in Sydney).<\/p>\n

More on the\u00a0play-ability, tuning, and content development in tomorrow\u2019s posts.<\/p>\n
