Sound on 🔊
added spatial audio to Lizard State
Sounds bend around walls, are occluded by closed doors and are heard from entrances
it helps so much for gameplay clarity and immersion!

Think you can block a door ? Think again!

In Lizard State, if you try to block a door by standing in front of it, enemies won't hesitate to kick it down to get to you.

Sound on 🔊

Since footstep sounds are at the heart of the gameplay, it was important to get them right!
The sounds change depending on your speed, your stance and the surface you walk on

🔥 Pas de nouveau Splinter Cell ? Pas de problème !

💥 Lizard State par @lizardstate.bsky.social est un hommage vibrant aux titres d'infiltration d'Ubisoft (d'ancienne génération), en plus de proposer une panoplie de mouvements et de possibilités bien plus étendues.

👀 À surveiller donc ...

Surreal to see that Lizard State's reveal was so well received, thank you so so much!

Please look forward to the playtest coming this summer, I'm hard at work to make it as good as possible🦎

Indie dev sees Ubisoft fail to bring back Splinter Cell for 13 years, says fine, I'll do it myself with a "short, focused stealth" game "inspired by classic PS2-era games" www.gamesradar.com/games/stealt...

Lizard State looks like a new Splinter Cell in all but name

I did the character designs for this game! This was the first time I've made designs for a game like this, and it's been a lot of fun seeing the project develop.
