The Vision of Heist Night

Heist Night is an 3D asymmetric multiplayer stealth video game coming to Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Two players compete against each other; with each player having different objectives, resources and camera perspectives.

One player in Heist Night will assume the role of a thief. Under the cover of darkness, the thief infiltrates a museum in an attempt to steal its valuable exhibits and escape with them. This player will play the game through a first person perspective.

The other player will assume the role of the security guards. In order to secure the museum, the guards must search for the thief and apprehend him/her. This player will play the game from a bird's-eye perspective commonly found in traditional "Real-Time Strategy (RTS)" video games.

Why we created Heist Night

In January 2015, NHTV Team Fifteen set-out to create a truly innovative video game that combines the elements of hide-and-seek with the modern stealth genre. An asymmetric multiplayer game that had to be fair, balanced and, in the end, allow both players to experience moments of tension, but maintaining joy.

Heist Night will let players experience:

2 vastly different play styles in 1 game : first person stealth versus top-down real-time strategy.

: Unique real-time asymmetric gameplay

An Immersive Original Score

We have been incredibly fortunate to work with British composer and musician Mythili Mahendran when creating Heist Night. The music for Heist Night was is an original score specifically composed for the game. It results in immersive and feedback-driven music that enhances the setting and the state of the game.

Mythili understood that music is not merely an ancillary part of a video game design, but that it enhances the experience in an emotional, perhaps transcendental and timeless way. Her trust, patience and dedication for “Heist Night” affected the way we attempted to realise our vision. Her vision became our vision… her vision is our vision…. Her music is “Heist Night”.
