> [NDL_LINK INTERFACE v0.1.8] > jackin://ghostwire<.node//WIRE.ndl > Access Granted. Hello Operators. Welcome to first Hacking the System, a new series of posts that jacks into the world of DeadWire. The countdown to the games launch later this summer is well and truly on, so I wanted to start by talking about one of the games key gameplay features Rewire Mode. What is Rewire Mode? DeadWires cybernetic-infused city is a playground for elite hackers like Wire; their mentorship under Noodle has made them one of the most adept at rewiring, the ability to hack into the networked systems found in everything from doors, vehicles, and even human implants. By harnessing their skills through Rewire Mode, Wire can link these systems together and unleash daisy-chained chaos and carnage as they go. Rewiring the past How did Rewire Mode come about? Ive been gaming for many years, and enjoy a really broad range of genres, so inspiration for my own projects come from far and wide. The first kernel that eventually became Rewire Mode started when I played the excellent Dishonored 2 by Arkane Lyon. One of the games protagonists - Emily Kaldwin - is marked with a number of supernatural abilities shortly into the story, and one of these is called Domino, which enables players to link enemies together and causes them to die or fall unconscious together. I wanted to see if I could take that idea and adapt it into a 2D game 20 minutes later, I had a rudimentary prototype where two green boxes could be linked together and disappear. And thats where I melded it with an idea from a second AAA franchise: Ubisofts Watch Dogs. Id coincidentally seen a video on Watch Dogs 2, which inspired me to try and evolve my prototype mechanic so I could link to more things. I programmed it so I could open in-game doors through this daisy-chaining, and I just continued building Rewire Mode from there! Initially when Rewire Mode was being developed, I had it freeze the game, enabling players to have infinite time while they linked enemies and environmental objects together - even select different types of hacking - but I eventually decided to focus the gameplay on action and speed. So now, time is merely slowed down in Rewire Mode, rather than stopped entirely. As a result, DeadWires gameplay started feeling much more arcadey, with hacking becoming more context based. For example, if you hack electronics they stun people close by, enemies with armor will lose their armor and if theyve no armor then theyll die. Everything in the game is separated into one of four distinct categories: Human, Explosives, Electronics, Objects. Depending on what is linked, different things will happen. This creates situations where players can achieve multiple actions. For instance, linking an enemy to a speaker that distracts them; killing the enemy hacks the speaker that blows up, stunning a second enemy standing next to it, and enabling you to shoot them. Another example is linking an explosive barrel to a car, and the car to a locked door. Blowing up the barrel starts the cars engine, which opens the door and there might be an enemy on the other side. Ultimately, one of my goals for DeadWire is to create a highly reactive world; I want you to experiment and force you to hack as you shoot. For me, the peak DeadWire experience is achieving that mix of gunplay with tactical hacking and I cant wait to see what you come up with when the game launches later this year.

> [NDL_LINK INTERFACE v0.1.8] > jackin://ghostwire<.node//WIRE.ndl > Access Granted. //Operators, this mission brief is for your eyes only// Im Shotgun Anaconda, the creator of DeadWire, and Im excited to introduce you to the games neon-drenched worldand the explosive hacking combat at its core. Set in a brutal and corrupt cyberpunk city ruled by networks of gangs, you play as Wirean elite hacking operative raised in a backstreet orphanage and trained by a noodle-slinging merc. Your mission: pay off your mentor's debt by taking down the citys criminal underworld using both firepower and hacking finesse.
Firing pistols and throwing sharp katanas comes naturallybut your real weapon is DeadWires distinct hacking mechanic: Rewire Mode. Think fast, hack faster. Rewire Mode lets you manipulate the environment in real time: Create chaos by linking enemies, machines, explosives, and tech together. Pull the trigger, and watch a deadly chain reaction rip through the battlefieldunlocking doors, frying enemies, hotwiring cars, and clearing rooms before anyone knows what hit them. DeadWire is a hybrid of bloody, tactical action and cerebral puzzle-solvingall while the clock ticks. Every level is scored. Every second counts. If you want to get the top rank, youll have to master both bullets and cybernetics. Were launching this summer, and Ive got a ton more to show you soon. So jack in, follow (and Wishlist!) DeadWire on Steam, and get ready to rewire the city. > jackin://ghostwire.node//WIRE.ndl -- end
