#SCANNER SOMBRE GAME PLOT UPDATE#

I played Scanner Sombre because I will always gravitate towards visual oddities in gaming but needed to scoot off before I got time in with Wrong Wire, instead having to settle for peering over the shoulders of others. So they were made at the same time and from the same brain, but they're not otherwise connected. It was really tight and fast and I had a clear idea of what we were going to do.'

'Last year we took a month out and decided we were going to make some prototype games and so we did an update for Prison Architect that was just bug fixes and me, Leander and one other audio guy made these two prototypes in one month. 'We've been doing Prison Architect for five years and I've been doing it since October 2010, so we needed a bit of a break,' says Delay.

We headed to one side to discuss the new projects and how they came into being РІР‚вЂњ it turns out they were a kind of busman's holidayРІР‚В¦ Introversion's lead designer, Chris Delay, was there, helping man the room and listening to reactions from the steady stream of players. Scanner Sombre is the latter and the weird and wonderful aesthetic is what drew me into the room in the first place. While at Rezzed the Prison Architect devs Introversion casually plonked not one but TWO new game prototypes onto the show floor РІР‚вЂњ one a bomb defusal idea with echoes of the studio's erstwhile project, Subversion, and the other an exploratory mood piece where scanning a pitch black cave system gradually picks out shapes with a speckled spectrum.
