Lockdown's development nears completion. It's been quite a bumpy ride for Lockdown. The game functions and sound effects have been completed. Unfortunately with great success came great sacrifice. Some features couldn't be emplemented in.

Here are some features that couldn't make it to the final product:

  • Cutscenes could not be implemented into the game in time.
  • Firing a gun to stun enemies mechanic could not be implemented in time.
  • Enemy AI will not follow player but can still surprise players with fast movements in the areas they roam.
  • Player finding code in game to escape mechanic has been removed.

Despite these setbacks, the finished game will still give you quite a scare while playing. The game releases on Tuesday, December 15th, 2020.

Stay Tuned...

Game Completed!!!
