This week, our team made significant strides in wrapping up Scene 1 in the cave while also gray-boxing Scene 2 to expand our world. As we prepare for the Half Presentation, we combined a playable build showcasing our progress so far. To refine the gameplay experience, we conducted multiple playtests and gathered external feedback, helping us improve game flow, player guidance, and mechanics.

We also enhanced the narrative experience by implementing dialogues, UI elements, and narration features, ensuring that players receive better guidance and immersion throughout their journey.

Next week, we will focus on refining the cave scene with environmental assets, adding more UI elements, narration, VFX, and animations, and continuing our overall game development. Good luck to the team for the Half Presentation!
