Adding training dummies to the tutorial so players can actually learn the controls without immediately getting swarmed by giant wasps 🐝

A slightly less chaotic onboarding experience!

From the Department of Questionable Priorities: Halloween-themed gear! 🎃

In our defence, expanding gear options was already on the demo to-do list. We're just being seasonally efficient 👻

Deep in prep mode for #PAXAus with a bespoke demo 🧐 - LF an encapsulation of the full experience- tight, engaging and built to showcase the core game loop in a focused package.

Latest focus - designing an Ability Capture system.

Rather than simply buying abilities from a vendor, 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 them. Defeat challenging enemies and capture fragments of their power. Buildcrafting = earned agency.

W/ the bonus of encouraging player exploration/discovery.
