The creators of Prison Architect have developed the game Scanner Sombre, a game where the world around us will be interpreted using a LIDAR scanner like the one used in autonomous vehicles.

Surely many of you will hear the interesting game Prison Architect and some have even played it. This game has taken six years to be developed by the Introversion Software studio, but after finishing the development of this great game that has been compared to the mythical Theme Hospital or Theme Park World, now the next game of This developer. The second title has been dubbed Scanner Sombre, which is a first-person exploration game that will arrive on Steam on April 26, leaving behind the Early Access program with which Prison Architect entered Steam.

Shadow Scanner is an interesting game that requires a LIDAR scanner, like those used in autonomous vehicles, which allows us to move around the world, showing the world through thousands of points of light that recreate the landscape little by little. It is based on a color scheme within the usual palette, to indicate the distance and depth as we progress in the game, which is a different way to play, where we always see the landscape and the environment very neatly.

It should be noted that achieving this particular effect has not been easy at all, what is more, that the effect in Scanner Shade was so good has been a truly titanic task. Christ Delay, who has been the main designer of the game, has highlighted that 'it was very hard' 'to make it work correctly, because this particular complex system stopped working correctly and loading the particles correctly after loading about ten thousand particles. The truth is that the game looks very interesting and entertaining, where the main mission is to explore the world around us based on a LIDAR mapping.
