We are celebrating our new content release with a 40% off sale! It has been a long development cycle for us but the new content is coming soon (hopefully today)! The major changes of this update are narrative and aesthetic in nature. All of the scenes have been re-designed to allow for a much smoother and logical progression for the game narrative. Now when players select new game, there is a brand new challenge that will guide you through the game's first 15 minutes. Within these first 15 minutes the player will learn basic locomotion, how to use their climbing abilities and learn about the lore of the game world. This new content is still under heavy development and is currently in polishing stages.
After the introductory phase of the game, the game starts to pick up pace and incorporates more platforming obstacles. Most of the game previously took place in the “Dojo” scenes. We have completely re-designed all of the dojos with new environments, functionality and narrative cues. With many of the core mechanics improved, we were able to add a new layer of gameplay to the dojos. Players can now climb on moving objects and access/use tools like the hookshot and Bow & Arrow with ease.
For a brief time, we have had the “chapter 1 beta” available. Now this beta content is being merged into the main game project. So now when players complete the first 3 dojos, they can progress further into the game's narrative by flying to the southern forest. This forest scene was previously unavailable in the main build and did not contain any narrative events. While it is now coming out of beta stages, it is still under development with plenty of content to be added.
We will be replacing the Chapter 1 beta branch with a multiplayer Beta branch. This is our first attempt at networking so there will be bugs and issues. Upon launch of this beta, it will be possible for players to connect to an online hub and play with others. Essentially all players will spawn into the Chapter 1 forest scene and have free roam. There are no specific multiplayer events yet but we plan on adding PvP matchmaking and Co-op dojo puzzles in the future.
