« on: March 02, 2015, 09:46:48 AM »I started to make a copy of the source code where I'm now removing all the story stuff, to have the game's core to start to work with.
So it will be more sandbox-style hacking or with another story?
After a long time, I can answer this question.
LR 1.7 ("Infiltration") will focus on game mechanics, not so much on story, as LR 1.6.4 ("The Book of Stars") did. Of course there WILL be a basic plot (otherwise it would not be my game), but it will be much more straightforward, and quests will not be required to win the game. Basically, it will be like the coffeebreak mode from LR 1.6.4 with a short intro, 2 cutscenes and the end sequence, but in-between it's pure dungeon crawling.
LR:I is set some hundred years before LR:TBoS -- during the war between men and Drekh'Nar. The player can choose between human and Drekh'Nar. As a human, the player has to infiltrate a Drekh'Nar basis to obtain information, as a Drekh'Nar, the player has to prevent the humans infiltrating.
