More and more Mexican studios are delving fully into video game development. Titles like Mulaka and GREEN The Life Algorithm are the result of this conviction of the national talent to break into the industry and to these cases now it is added Black noise, a proposal whose particularity is that it is located in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
Black noise is a game currently being developed by the Mexican Alan Yamir Rodriguez, born in Juárez and who at 24 is proposing a post apocalyptic game resulting in a terrifying experience For the users.
According to statements made to the Herald of Chihuahua, the idea behind Black noise was born when he imagined a game whose plot was set in Ciudad Universitaria. This first iteration of the project had to stop when the pandemic began, but in 2021 the young developer resumed his advances and gave them a thematic and scale turn.
He proposed the project as a thesis, but the school authorities rejected it because they considered that it did not solve any problem, but this did not make Rodríguez give up and now he is continuing in a personal way.
Black noise is defined as a video game of survival horror set in a post-apocalyptic version of Ciudad Juárez, and the intention of Rodríguez and his team – made up 100% by talent from Juarez – is to show that Mexico it has the potential to be a powerful exponent in the video game industry and it can deliver titles that are on par with those of the greatest exponents.
The argument is situated in a future in which the population was placed a implant that promises to improve the quality of life. After the fall of a meteorite, these implants begin to fail and cause side effects such as mutations. Long after that event is that it places Black noise, in a context in which the player must survive the threats that arose.
With employment of Unreal Engine 5, the game is in an early stage of development and the idea is to start a Kickstarter campaign once everything that needs to be covered has been delimited. “My intention is not to ask for asking, I am really taking it seriously to ensure that what is promised is fulfilled. Therefore, I am taking the time necessary to ensure that everything is covered and not generate any mistrust in people who are willing to bet on Black noise“, says Rodríguez in a publication in the game fanpage.
