Hello Neyyah adventurers! It's been a while since I've updated you on how Neyyah's development is going! While I was very busy with the music about a month and a bit ago, generating 15-17 tracks just for the release of Neyyah's demo later in the year, I have swapped hats for the 3D modelling / environment work, and it has been developing very nicely - generating richness within a large area of land in what I reckon is pretty short period of time. With a few other locations to build, I'm confident I'll be able to hit good milestones along the way ...

Outside of continuing to grow Neyyah's world, I have also been fine tuning a feature within Neyyah called Faster Travel, a convenient way to skip certain nodes / positions within the game and get to where you want to be a lot faster, indicated by three Faster Travel directional cursors:
Faster Travel forward - usually used when heading straight ahead or aiming to be facing straight ahead after faster traveling to a given location ...
In this screenshot from Visionaire Studio 5, I have selected a Forward Faster travel hotspot as an example.
Faster Travel forward left - usually used when aiming to faster travel off screen, round a corner, or anywhere which is more left of the screen.

Faster Travel forward right - usually used when aiming to faster travel off screen, round a corner, or anywhere which is more right of the screen.

I think you get the general direction I'm going in with these cursors!
Not only can you faster travel ahead of the path you may be on - no matter how narrow or one directional it may be - you can also use high vantage points as great 'transportation maps' to get you across long distances!
High up / long distance views become great sources of traversing long distances with Faster Travel - and it is an option within the game! You can enable / disable this at any point in your adventure!
Certain areas may be kept off limits until you've worked out a way to access those areas too! It becomes a bit of fun working out what Faster Travel hotspots you may have unlocked as you explore and progress through Neyyah.
Feel free to watch my recent devlog, showcasing the Faster Travel option in game! :)
Hope you all have a great week ahead! Thanks for stopping by and much more exciting updates / news to come!
