Hello, River Drifters!
I’ve been working hard to get River Drift as polished as possible for the upcoming Demo!
🛶 Improved Co-op & Raft Physics
Fixed numerous replication issues with obstacles to provide a smoother and more consistent co-op experience.
Improved obstacle anticipation to make hazards more predictable and fair for players.
Adjusted the river current speed and raft angular damping to make movement feel more responsive.
Improved raft collisions to help prevent the raft from passing through the landscape or other objects.
Fixed water splash effects so they only trigger when the raft actually falls into the river.
🔊 Sound & Music
Reworked and balanced the game's overall sound levels.
Added new ambient sounds throughout the levels.
Added area-specific music to help give each environment its own atmosphere.
Added sound effects to many of the game's obstacles.
🌿 Swamp Rework
The Swamp has received a major rework, including:
New obstacles
New river forks and routes
Additional set dressing
New particle effects
Various environmental improvements
🌲 Redwood Forest Improvements
Reworked the Redwood Forest cave to remove tight corners where the raft could easily become stuck.
Fixed multiple collision issues throughout both levels to reduce situations where the raft could get caught along the edges of the river.
There’s still plenty of work to do, but I’m really happy with how River Drift is coming together. Thank you for playing, testing, and sending feedback! Your feedback has been extremely helpful in getting the game ready for the Demo.
See you on the river! 🌊
