Noise Hunters - Noise Hunters is a stealth video game where noise is your tool, but also your enemy. Don't let them hear you, HUNT or be HUNTED.
[The following is an excerpt from their devlog Level Design in the Dark].
Level design is key factor in a game's success, you can have the greatest mechanic of all time but if you don't have a level where the player can fully experience it, then there is no game. While developing Noise Hunters we had to keep this in mind, however, we had a twist, the darkness.
As we seen in previous posts, in Noise Hunters we visualise the environment with sound waves and when there is silence, the player can't see anything. Through trial and error, thanks to the play-testing we where capable to define some "guidelines" to follow and create compelling levels.
[follow along on the devlog].
