My plan was to make a sniping game with fast movement to encourage changing positions between shots, examining high mobility with a very slow rate of fire. I added a leap jump and the ability to fly for 2 seconds to allow the player to get up onto rooftops as a safe space and a vantage point. The guards are supposed to keep the player off the ground, since they can approach quickly when they see the player. To discourage camping on a roof, the guard towers are supposed to keep the player on their toes after each shot. The light cone of the guard towers are slow moving threats that can hurt the player, so movement and cover are required. To allow the player to fight back against the tower without making it too easy, the towers are powered by generators, mostly behind cover. I was hoping to give the player a feeling of victory for being able to dodge a guard tower, eliminate or avoid the guards, and disable the generators, after which an area becomes mostly harmless to traverse. I really enjoyed working on this project, and I am happy where it ended up. Thank you to everyone giving this game a try, and to the people who supported me during development :)
