For #DARE2025 Our artist Eden Dunbar, and our Audio Designer Rebecca Taylor worked together to put together some short cutscenes to do some simple storytelling.

this example is from the very beginning of the game

Sometimes its nice to take a moment and chill after being chased for so long. #Emira appreciating the simple things in life with a couple of SMOL bots!

The very talented Eden Dunbar has prepared some awesome artwork for the DCA showcase, and we've used some of it to upgrade our socials.

The work from our Artists has taken our Itch.io page to a whole new level

New Ability: DASH
To help with mobility and speed, Emira can now DASH. Great for when you've mistimed a long jump, or ran into a wall by mistake!

We also think Adele and Boti made it look really cool too!

Ever wonder where the Guards come from? Well wonder no more! Throughout the levels Emira will encounter Guard Charging Pods. If one activates, your best bet is to run away or try to jump over its head.

Wouldn't be Wednesday without a pic of SMOL. This time he's joined the whole Cosmic Coda team for a bit of a team photo! This team has worked together and grown so much throughout our time at Abertay and DARE. We're very lucky to have these opportunities.

A new enemy has entered the fray. Turrets aggressively guard their killboxes, shooting anything they detect that is considered a threat. Fortunately Emira has a trick up her sleeve, and can cloak past these enemies.

SMOL wants to help with the final polish this week, so he's joined our art team. It looks like he wants to give himself some shiny upgrades and take Emira's place as the hero!

comment below if you think he should be the main character!

Producer Mark accidentally trapped Emira inside a collider right at the start of the level. I don't think she liked being in there!

Repost this and share your funniest bug on the project your working on!

Cleaner bot SM-01 affectionately called Smol-bot, wants to help us out so today he's on Audio with Rebecca. Hitting the midi controller he's gonna give us some awesome jams for the game!

Nothing gets you on your feet and running quite like being chased by a huge scary laser!

Run, jump, slide and dash your way to safety in our next build of #ECZT coming later today.

Cleaner bot is hitting the books today. He's double checking our producers work, to make sure we don't burnout!

Comment #saynotoburnout below to make sure that Mark listens to cleaner bots advice!

You asked, and we listened. By popular demand, controller support is coming to #ECZT. Master the dash, cloak, hack, wall jump and general movement on your chosen gamepad in our next release.

Say hello to our newest team member! our cleaner bot has been brought to life by the wonderful Rebecca Taylor.

He really should be given a name. We have an idea, but what do YOU think?

Every great game team needs a great producer. We're grateful to have the experienced Mark Beveridge as the producer for Elusive Core: Zero Trace!

With experience in team leadership and some good humour, he pulls together the rest of the team to make that game happen.
