Hey everyone!
Welcome to the second devlog for our upcoming game, My Beautiful Paper Smile!
Today I wanted to tell you a little bit about some of the new features, and mechanics that have been added to the game recently. So, let me set the stage. It all began one fateful evening, after a new batch of testers had played the game (by the way, you can join the Discord server and request access to the game as a beta tester right now!), which means plenty of bugs would need squashing, and plenty of changes would need to be made. But most notably we got some comments about a few dull stretches in the game, that needed some spicing up!
Meet Security Camera Sam! That’s not actually his name, but it sounded better than just a plain old camera. In any case, I’ve added these guys around the whole facility to keep an eye on you at all times. They add a whole new layer of gameplay to the experience, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result.
When sneaking around The Facility, these high-tech cameras will look around, constantly searching for intruders, or other threats. They record everything, but are especially sensitive to light. If they spot any bright shiny objects waltzing through the halls, they’ll pick up on it. If you don’t get out of the way, or you are spotted enough, an alarm will trip, alerting the Authorities of a disturbance. Unfortunately though, to save on power expenses, the Authorities keep most of the lights off, requiring you to use your own light to see. So, you need to be extra careful of the cameras! If you spot one, you’ll either need to turn off your light, or try your best to stay out of their sight.
So there you have it! Sam the cam will be watching your every move; if you’re careless, and don’t stay in the shadows. I really like how they work, and love the new gameplay element that they add. It’s one of the biggest additions we’ve made, and I think you’ll be glad we added it!
Also if you haven't had a chance to join our community, you are more than welcome to apply for beta testing or to share your feedback and ideas. Join us in Discord!
Until next time! Smile :)
