🛠️ Hack 'n' Stack : Level Blocking is done!

Hey Stackers!

 

Our design team is putting the final touches on the blocking and balancing of the levels for the game. What are the ingredients for a good level blocking in Hack ‘n’ Stack?

 

⛰️Terraform the map to give it a unique shape

Determine where the enemies will start the invasion

⚔️ Anticipate the optimal defense zones

📦 10 Set up the locations to gather your resources

🚩 Have clear objectives to complete scattered around the map

Also, the players’ spawner is another important area to establish. No one wants to spawn on the front lines. 😱

 

What’s Next?

👗 Dress up the levels with our dazzling art props for the different biomes

🎮 External playtests should begin shortly after that.

 

Thanks for stacking with us — see you in the next devlog!
