The goal of this project is to build a community driven assassination sandbox game.

Instead of random level generation, this game focuses on user created content and thus comes with a full featured map/mission editor.

NOTE: The current beta release does only contain one pre-built demo mission. However, it is possible to use the mission editor to create some playable maps right now.

What is currently working?

You can play the demo mission to completion.

You can also replay it and try to complete one of the four classic challenges.

You can use the editor to create your own maps.

Gameplay wise the following things are working:

• Movement
• Item interactions (Pickup, Drop, Prev/Next, Choose from Menu, Use)
• Enemy alert states and schedules
• Melee, Throwing and Shooting (incl. Sniper mechanics)
• Doors & Windows can be opened, closed and windows can be broken
• Dragging corpses leaves a blood trail
• You can use a piece of cloth to wipe that blood trail

Features

• Real-time assassination gameplay
• Mission editor
• Will track your kills over your career
• Includes the original Hitman challenges ("Piano Man", "Tasteless, Traceless", etc)

Requirements

IMPORTANT: Please, install the font called square-hacked.ttf in the "font" folder of this release.
