{{vine //vine.co/v/MYZn0aJvvQp/embed/simple}} Other than navigation, a fully shader-based water mesh (300 fps on iPad Air) and some large design decisions I’ve been working on one of the most important features: Peeking inside. It would be a scam to tease the player with curious structures without offering a chance to peek (and hopefully walk) inside. The video above is the first step towards that...

{{vine //vine.co/v/MVbjZU0E5Uw/embed/simple}} Orthographic camera, I'm sorry, but we're through. There are cinematography techniques I want to experiment with and you only have one trick - parallel lines. Well I want more. Specifically, I want a tilt-shift-like feeling. The world around you needs to feel large, mysterious but not imposing. And so I have been experimenting with a subtle perspective...

{{vine //vine.co/v/ME0g9FWl5vI/embed/simple}} I've pretty much settled on the direction/mechanics/feel for this game. My first step is to prototype a first "area" to see if it's any fun and/or feasible. This bridge, although structurally ineffective, leads out of this area and is thus the goal....

I've been working towards puzzles/interaction and general visual improvements that bring to world to life. {{vine //vine.co/v/MPWEmEigrui/embed/simple}} You can note small changes in this video such as an actual implementation of the grass and water that is transparent. The larger change should be obvious (once you spot it) - a strange lever that actually reacts to your physical advances. One mor...

It's a little half baked but the physics and constraints are done for the tool that may help you traverse unexplored heights. Now that the proof of concept for the rope is done (and turns out to be fun) I will move on to other features. Eventually I will swing back around for animations, climbing and visual enhancements....
