You’ve been hit by a space criminal
We’ve been trackingHeat Signature, the next game fromGunpointcreator Tom Francis, for a few years. Soon enough, you’ll be sneaking your way onto ships, attempting to take out whole crews, dying, and doing it all again with a fresh would-be thief. The gamelaunches for PCnext Thursday, September 21.
This will be one of those games about getting yourself in (and hopefully back out of) chaotic jams. Aside from having certain game design expectations followingGunpoint, these bullet points paint a picture:
Sounds peachy!
There are also some launch-window plans to cover. During the game’s first week, you’ll be able to find a special ship carrying the Everything Gun, which “teleports everything nearby into its barrel and fires it out like a shotgun.” Board that ship, steal that weapon, and it will join your game as a random drop in future runs. “It’ll definitely get you killed,” says Francis. “But you’ll die laughing.”
Early players will also have a chance to become Steam Trading Cards.
“We want to see GIFs or short videos of crazy situations you’ve got into or clever tricks you’ve discovered, and we’ll turn the best into trading cards with your name on! You’ll have the strange sensation of being traded, sold, and perhaps broken down to make a badge.” I’m only invested in cards as a way to build up an impulse-buy fund, but I’m digging that as a community-building idea.
