![Storyline edit] The storyline for The Conduit was handled by High Voltage Software's staff, with unspecified assistance from author Matt Forbeck, and designed to focus on an underlying theme of conspiracy that would "propel the storyline and the Conduit universe."[38] The location of Washington, D.C. was chosen as the game's setting for its iconic historical background and association with national and international politics, while the acts of terrorism that precede the main storyline were intended to provide a framework that would foreshadow the concept of betrayal for political gain throughout the game. Other elements of the game, such as secret underground passages spread throughout the city that are implied to have been built by the Trust, and the Trust organization itself, were also designed to evoke a sense of conspiracy. Various symbols, such as those relating to Freemasonry and the Illuminati, are spread throughout the game to further the conspiracy idea. The developer drew inspiration for the story from the books The Sirius Mystery by Robert Temple and Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Däniken, as well as the films Cloverfield and They Live, among other works.381 edit] GraphiCS The game is notable for the strong focus on the game's visuals by High Voltage Software, using a Wi-specific engine called Quantum3. Upgrading the game engine, which had previously been used by the developer in several other titles, began in October 2007.(11123 This engine "allows the developer to create graphic effects normally seen on other consoles with vertex and pixel shade These effects include bump-mapping, reflection and refraction, light and shadow maps and projections, specular and Fresnel effects, missive nd iridescent materials, advanced alpha blends, gloss and detail mapping, motion blur, interactive water with complex surface effects, and animate includes advanced artificial intelligence, allowing for enemies in the game to possess "hum -like behavior." According to Eric Nofsinger, "Our High Voltage Software's goal is to be the most technically innovative Wii developer on the planet High Voltage Software set a goal for a steady 30 frames per second frame rate with no flicker the game. The development team had previously claimed that it had a goal of 60 frames per second, but in the end it was decided that developma time would be better spent on the game's other features and that it ran smoothly enough at 30 frames."o20] Red Eye Studios, a subsidia h evel The Conduit [39] During E3 2008, the developer debuted a playable demo of the game which consisted of the first half ora level included in the actual game and showed several of the Drudge enemies, as well as several different human and alie weapon, water effects, and textures. Software updated the Quantum3 engine the number of predefined death animations that occur when the player kills an enemy, so that each different enemy type would die differently depending on the weapon used against it Also featured is a "color curve" system in which the screen colors desaturate progressively as the player takes damage, with the colors completely desaturating into black and white upon the player character's death ures, among other things. 10 The Quantum3 engine also The player aims at a group of hostile soldiers.

It was called Epic Textures from a company called Epic Score... With a little digging I found out that the man behind those awesome ambient tracks was mostly Diego Stocco... I gave Diego a call and he was very excited to help us out with the project." In creating the musical score, Stocco built several unique instruments as needed, such as a "DistroDrum," an acoustic drum combined with a toy piano, and a "Metal Contrabass," which consisted of piano and bass strings attached to a garage heater.43) For each level of the game, a different soundtrack with three different parts was created, these parts were "ambient," "mid-tempo," and "upbeat." After creating the tracks, the main instrumental sounds of each one was combined with others to produce more tracks. Sound Designer Ed Dulian would create music that suited each level and event in the game's campaign, and fellow Sound Designer Mark Muraski worked to implement the music in the game itself. Rick Nielsen would supply guitar riffs that were overlaid upon the main soundtracks.1431 The game features an adaptive music system where music in the game will change when the player enters combat or completes an objective. 421](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/081/886/Has_anyone.png "Has_anyone.png")
