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

We also enhanced the narrative experience<\/strong> by implementing dialogues, UI elements, and narration features<\/strong>, ensuring that players receive better guidance and immersion throughout their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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