Music should be a feeling, something that travels with you throughout your journey.
The farther you progress in a world, the more layers of the soundtrack you’ll experience.

Level Iteration2️⃣

Part of our iteration process involved enemies so we had to adjust them as well!

We fixed their old positions and, of course, reworked their lasers.

Our gameplay loop remains consistent throughout the game, but not so with the hazards and world unique features.

In world 3, you will meet a rewarding but deadly ring.

Before coming to @goplaycon 2024, we created new assets and levels for the players to explore.
The level is now in a completely different biom, and the difficulty of the level has increased compared to the previous edition.

Back when we first started with Nirih, we had the notion of flying through temple-like structures and avoiding devastated areas.

It's amusing to look back at the game's early footage and realize how far we've come in almost a year.

Stormislands is the last and final world! 😍

For the final world, we chose to start hard and tough from the beginning.

To avoid obstacles, you must pick whether to boost or move more frequently beginning with the first level.

Can you prove yourself and survive the storm?😎

Hello everyone, Richard here!

Today, I need to be more personal. Yesterday, my girlfriend and I lost our dearest friend and family member. She was also the "quiet" member of our development team, which gave me motivation to keep moving forward.

For everyone who enjoys some BTS.
Rather than animating the cloth, we utilized an engine plugin. That saves time and offers greater flexibility.
