I love the main menu in #Jusant. You're calmly sitting on a ledge, chilling. When you hit “Continue” the menu slides away, you stand up and you start playing. There's no loading screen, no cut. It's immersive and seamless.
I love it when studios pay attention to these sort of details. So cool!

In #Jusant, your rope is your main tool but it's not infinite. To let you know how much you have left, the color shifts: blue to yellow, yellow to red.
Run out and you'll get stuck. You'll have to rethink, reroute, climb smarter.
A wordless system that adds some strategy #GameDesign #IndieGaming

In #Jusant, the boy (that I decided to name Jimbo cause why not? Couldn’t let him hop around without a proper name) is the main character, the lens through which we experience the events.
But I don't think he’s the protagonist because he doesn’t drive the story (1/3)

#Jusant grabs your attention with silence. All you hear is boots on stone, rope creaking and wind blowing. Nothing else.
The Tower’s emptiness echoes louder that way, letting you feel its history.
So the few times you hear music, you notice it right away and lean into it.

How does #Jusant make you feel the climb?
It doesn’t just use the triggers as input. It builds its rhythm around them.
Left/right, grip timing, stamina… you think with your hands. The tension is in your fingers.
It’s physical. It’s deliberate. That’s what makes it immersive.

Chapter 2 of #Jusant marks a shift. Cool tones give way to green, blue and white.
Echo’s powers awaken plants as they become part of the gameplay.
The world feels more alive. Not warm yet, but recovering.
It's a sign that nature is returning, along with a sense of hope.

#Jusant shifts between straightforward and maze-like areas on purpose.
This disorienting feeling isn't a mistake, it's a #LevelDesign choice.
It slows you down, makes you observe and plan your next moves.
You will feel lost, but just pay attention and you will find the way!

Exploration in #Jusant is optional yet always tempting
Some walls are designed to catch your eye and reveal hidden areas that are never required
This smart design teases new items and sparks curiosity without pulling you off your original path
A great way to reward wandering

One cool thing about #Jusant: the environment guides you. No HUD, no markers. Just diegetic cues: wind direction, light placement, worn paths.
It builds a clever, intuitive #LevelDesign language.
You don't feel lost, just gently nudged forward. It never breaks the immersion

Tiny, cute, and powerful. What more can you ask for? 👀

Echo, our blue buddy, is a useful sidekick, perfectly integrated into the gameplay.
In #NarrativeDesign, it's a constant presence at the heart of the story.
In #GameDesign, it’s a compass, unlocking paths, guiding you along.
Plus, it's ridiculously cute. That helps too!

Chapter 1 of #Jusant opens with cold, muted colors that feel quiet, sterile
The environment tells the story of a world that says nothing but shows everything
That pale blue reflects the distance between you and this new world, creating a feeling of solitude and isolation

#ColorInGames #IndieGaming

The more I play #Jusant, the more I notice details that make the whole experience feel smooth
Everything is designed to guide the player without ever pointing directly
It’s often subtle and that’s what makes the difference.
🧵Here’s a thread of things I’ve picked up so far 👇

J’ai raté un saut. Puis un deuxième. Puis un troisième.
Au final, est-ce que j'ai vraiment besoin de grimper cette montagne ?
Je peux rester là... #Jusant🧗

#BlueskyGamingCommunity #indiegaming

Je veux trop leur donner un petit nom mais je trouve pas ! Ils sont tellement cute ! #Jusant🧗‍

#BlueskyGamingCommunity #indiegaming

J’ai lancé #Jusant 🧗
C'est doux, c'est cute, c'est relaxant.
Ça donne juste envie de s'arrêter et d'apprécier la vue...
