Welcome to "Secrets of Lionheart Penitentiary," a map prepared for the second DL2 contest in the Prison Heist category. You will definitely experience the atmosphere from the first installment, as I have recreated several locations from the original game, while also introducing many new ones according to my own project vision.
The events take place after Aiden and Hakon leave Villedor. In this project, I wanted to explore how a prison heist could be one stage of the adventure shared with Hakon in an alternate world.
Story:
We step into the shoes of Aiden, who, along with Hakon, has prepared a special infiltration operation into the correctional facility. After Hakon's initial drone reconnaissance, it is known that the facility has been taken over by renegades who are plotting something sinister. You find out that the prison is only the cover for something far worse... But are renegades the only ones involved? Definitely undeads. Will you be able to uncover the secrets of Lionheart Penitentiary and make it out alive?
Features:
- Three different character classes: Archer, Berserker, and Tank.
Depending on the chosen class, the gameplay style and progression through the level will vary. Each class has unique equipment, weapons, and abilities.
- The Archer (bow, 1-handed, crossbow | knives) can access certain areas inaccessible to other classes. Can fight, can stealth, can enter vents to flank enemies/safety.
- The Tank (2-handed weapons | mines, granades) class is about health, armor and health boosters, hard to die if you use them wiseley. Doesn't have many parkour moves.
- The Berserker (1-handed weapons | C4, molotovs, boomstick) has all mele combat skills, damage boosters but lacks in health and armor. Designed to slash through enemies.
All mechanics will be thoroughly explained during the mission, so don't worry.
- Warehouses: The level contains PK warehouses where you can find ammunition, medkits, and even skilled craftsmen.
- Lockpicking: Each class starts with two lockpicks. They can be used to open weapon caches, warehouses and shortcut doors (a feature more suited for speedrunners). Lockpicks can also be found by exploring the map.
- Melee combat, stealth, and multiple paths from point A to point B:
Depending on your chosen class, you can select the path that suits you best. For example, the Archer can choose a parkour route between walls, while the Tank and Berserker excel in direct combat. Of course, not only the Archer can occasionally bypass combat, but it will be easier for them.
- Story outline (to understand the purpose of infiltrating the prison)
- Drop differ for each class.
- Item upgrades are available.
Conclusion:
Overall, I aimed for more open locations where players can briefly admire the beauty of the prison. Classic encounters with renegades/infected and thrilling escape segments are not lacking.
That's all from me. I hope you enjoy it and will want to revisit this map again. :)
