First Programming Mechanic Implemented

Searchlight Hotel
A downloadable game for Windows

Hello All,

                    Just an update on the progress of the game. We are currently implementing the first mechanic besides the player movement. This mechanic is the ability to open doors, drawers, and collect keys. This will also be used in interacting with puzzles later on.

When exploring through the Searchlight Hotel, many players will need to interact with doors to get inside rooms. Some of these doors may be locked and require something to open.  We have implemented the ability to open the doors needed to reach the end of an area.

Meanwhile, to traverse the hotel, you may need to gain access to keys situated around the hotel. The player must look for these keys or codes inside of drawers or hidden from view. This being the other big part of the mechanic implemented. We have gotten basic functioning for these drawers and key operations.

Thank you all for your time, we hope to see you on launch night.
