RT @stratfest: Check out these amazing shots from our #steampunk #ssfpirates

The challenge for a tiny studio like us is how to produce large worlds without a team of artists and level designers to handcraft spooky valleys and ruined villages. Sir, You Are Being Hunted’s engine produces procedurally generated islands, which means each playthrough, and each individual player’s playthrough, will be rather different. We’re also not aiming to create a game with the most high end visuals and hi-res textures. Ours is a lo-fi approach that captures some of Stalker’s reliance on a unique atmosphere.

Like Stalker, combat in Sir will be lethal. But I should also mention our reliance on sneaking, stealth, and running away. We certainly feature guns – most notably a shotgun and a hunting rifle – but fighting will usually be a last resort. If you’re in a stand-up firefight, then you’ll probably die. Hiding, staying out of sight, setting traps, and shooting hunters in the back will all be recommended approaches to staying alive. Sir is more an open-world stealth and survival game than it is an open-world shooter.
