Hi everyone!
As of 7/26, I’ll be moving all development efforts towards the full game. I wanted to post this to outline everything that you can do in the Demo, all of the systems within it, and what each piece of content in the demo is representative of.
Offerings and Favor
In order to complete the Demo, the player is required the fill the purple bar (lower right-hand corner of the screen). The player can achieve this a number of ways:
- Knock out NPCs and sacrifice them on the altar. The player must carry the body, as pushing bodies into the portal will cause them to explode.
- Possess NPCs, subsequently killing them.
- Murder NPCs either through ranged or melee tactics.
- Complete quests.
Basic NPC Systems
Throughout the game, the player will need to alter their tactics to explore the entirety of each level. The player will also be faced with the challenge of NPCs who would rather you not possess themselves or others. Thus, there are foundational systems that support this:
- Wandering and Patrol Points. NPCs will randomly wander or follow a set route.
- Stealth and Evasion. If the player is caught possessing and NPC, attacking/killing an NPC, firing a loud weapon, then all ‘bodyguard’ NPCs will attempt to approach and kill the player. If the player manages to break line-of-sight for long enough, all hostiles will return to their patrol routes and forget about the player.
- Health and Armor. The player has health (the red bar) that is drained upon being damaged. Armor (the blue bar) can be obtained from possessing the ‘Knight’ NPC and will negate all incoming damage. If the player dies, the game ends. In the case of the Demo, the demo level is loaded again and quest progress resets.
- Item interactivity. The player obtains items from possessing NPCs. These items act differently depending on the item type. For example, the ‘Clown’ NPC has a bucket of water, which can ruin sand castles and put out fires. The ‘Thief’ and ‘Cop’ NPCs both have a grappling hook that can propel the player towards a node (golden spheres) when used.
All systems are subject to change and balancing throughout development. If an update is applied to the demo, it will be purely hotfixes to better demonstrate the mechanics featured in the main game. Check out the Trello for development progress (https://trello.com/b/3vJN9VMx/hijackd), and leave all feedback here (https://itch.io/t/1546054/bug-reports-feedback).
Also, be sure to download the latest README file for additional controls and descriptions. Thanks for visiting! I look forward to updating this topic as development progresses.
Hi everyone! Post your bugs and feedback on the latest demo here (Latest Version 0.8.1). Do your best to be descriptive to what you were doing before you encountered the bug and let me know what you found fun (or not fun).
If it’s a visual glitch, use the Snipping Tool to grab an image and attach it on your post.
Thanks for dropping by!
