Hidden Asset is an isometric assassination/stealth game with an emphasis on utilizing high-tech gear and your environment to avoid detection. As you progress through the game, new equipment will be purchasable for the money you make. The game takes place in a not-too-distant future devastated by a global economic crisis. In this world, corporations are no longer under control of the law. Or morals. They will do whatever it takes to get rid of the competition, including hiring corporate assassins. You are such an assassin. Working for whoever hires you. Killing whoever they tell you to. You will infiltrate businesses. Shoot up offices. Assassinate CEOs. It’s all just business. But it will soon become much more than that...

Post news Report RSS Hidden Asset development video #28

In this video, I take a small detour back to melee combat to fix some issues, then sketch out the rest of the second map.

It seems there are always parts of a game's code you end up returning to again and again. For me, that's the melee combat code. I've completely overhauled the way melee combat works twice now -- and every time I think that now I'm done. And while the general feel of melee combat is now locked after I added high and low melee attacks a couple of months ago, minor issues still pop up from time to time.

So in this video, I return to melee combat for a brief moment to fix two issues: 1) the player would get animation locked and unable to attack or block when being pummeled by a group of NPCs, and 2) when blocking one NPC, all other NPCs attacking at that same moment would also get blocked and stunned.

After fixing this, I can finally return to my primary task at the moment -- finishing up the second map so the first two maps are ready for closed alpha testing. So I then sketch out the rest of that map.
