Vi fikk en demonstrasjon av sci-fi-action-spillet Beacon, sammen med en hyggelig samtale med utvikler Kiefen Zipf fra Monothetic. Her er hans beskrivelse av det roguelike-aktige spillet:
"You play as Freya, a highly trained military pilot who has crashed on an unidentified planet. All you have is your clone bay and your weapon and you're tasked with fighting through the planet, upgrading your gear, finding DNA from enemies you've killed, and most importantly finding your beacon so you can escape the planet."
Det nevnte DNAet er noe du tar med videre til nye gjennomspillinger.
"We're pushing a very rich faction-based world. There's multiple factions within the game that are all tied to the story. Those factions all have a chance of spawning in each area of the game as well. So whenever a faction is chosen that will effect the items that spawn, the enemies that spawn and most importantly the DNA that drops off of them will affect mutations."
