We had a lot of fun experimenting with the Rockstar Content Creator for our two Halloween missions. Here's a look at how some of it works behind the scenes. In "The Chiliad Anomaly" - youtu.be/g_MISu_7u0s - a few things change based on your actions. At the beginning, the keycard is carried by one of three scientists, with the choice determined by where you land your boat on the beach. For the midair jetpack spawn, we chained teleports during cutscenes. Players are moved into position, enter their jetpacks, then teleport again during the cutscene so they appear already flying when gameplay resumes. The ending depends on the alien rescue. Save all five aliens and you get the good ending. Lose even one, and the survivors turn against you, leading to a final showdown. The Chiliad Mural also reflects the outcome: when it's shown at the end, only the lights corresponding to the aliens you saved will blink. Our second mission, "House Hunting" - youtu.be/OGSS896AkUw - looks straightforward, but there's quite a bit happening behind the scenes to make each playthrough less predictable. Hidden fights between NPCs act as randomizers. Their outcomes determine which of two sets of four TV screens appears, which of two fireplaces you'll need to search, and which of two upstairs locations will hold the key. The stalking figures also change positions to match the selected locations. The Watcher has its own setup: three possible initial hiding spots, followed by three possible hiding spots for its next appearance. Your movement through the house determines which ones are used. All of this is handled by using and reusing flags and activation zones. Finding ways to build these systems with the tools available was a big part of the fun. The Creator feels promising, and we enjoyed exploring what it can do.
