Programmer Navigation
Here’s something you don’t see everyday! I was fortunate enough to hover over the desk of our Lead Tester back in May this year to get a look at what she was up to. This, my friends, is a map. (^_^) She was checking to see if all of the scene views (as listed by numbers) matched up in the right locations. Each arrow represents a viewpoint for the player, not necessarily the ability to move forward, but the different angles you get to look (perspectives) at with each step you take in The Deadly Device.
Behind the scenes here, we have “scene numbers” for us to refer to and especially for connecting the dots, so to speak. You don’t want to click to go forward towards the elevator and suddenly show up in Niko’s office! So our Lead Tester checks to make sure our game navigation is correctly matching up with the logic. Can you identify these areas based on the shape and navigation view? Answer is at the bottom of this post, below my name.
Head’s up! New poll on the right — >

Map answer: [downstairs halls, the K on the left leads to the lab, the K on the bottom right is right before Niko’s Office.]

That’s very interesting. I never knew how much dedication you guys put with these games in such short little time. I applaud you guys so much! P.S. I didn’t know if I said this already, but I really love the new merchandise. Can’t wait for more ideas you guys create!

@Shainnen Somerville — Why thank you! Yes, we put a lot of work into our games, and two games per year is actually pretty amazing since many other games out there can take 1-5 years per title. Can you imagine waiting 5 years for each new Nancy Drew game? o.O Yikes!
@Sheesh4 — Your birthday is on Tuesday the 20th or Wednesday the 21st? And is your name Lizzy, or was that my other Anonymous friend above? 😉
Tuesday. 🙂 LOL Sorry messed up the dates. And my name is Alex. 😉
