Title: Ingression | Roadmap 2024 Hey runners, I'm back with the plans for 2024 for my game, as promised, and I'll start with the coolest news - Ingression is Steam Deck Verified, and the official Steam Deck account on Twitter supported our announcement by retweeting it. You can do the same if you use X (formerly Twitter) and want to support me!
Now, let's move on to the plans for 2024:

Let's dive into the details.

The June update brings Collectibles hidden throughout most levels. While collecting them is completely optional, players who manage to gather a significant portion will unlock something special: Secret Levels. Later in the summer, I plan to improve and update the Trial Levels UI and enhance the speedrunner experience. I'll also add a new trial level, giving you one more fast but challenging level to compete on! There will be a separate leaderboard for this new level, but dont worry, previous results and leaderboards will not disappear. Throughout the year, I will work hard to bring the platforming-with-portals experience to Nintendo Switch players. While doing that, we will also do our best to optimize the game even more for all players on handheld devices. Whether it's a Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, Nintendo Switch, or something else, we want to ensure the best possible experience. Which update are you most excited about, and what would you like to see in the game in the future? Let me know here or on social media!

Hey everyone, Creating Ingression has been the most thrilling and demanding adventure of my life. For over a year, I've poured my heart and soul into shaping this challenging and mind-bending precision platformer, where each jump is a calculated risk and every portal leads to new trials. [previewyoutube=_WrC7sOdn4A;full][/previewyoutube] I spent countless late nights coding, refining, and testing every element of the game. There were moments of frustration when bugs seemed bad and doubts crept in about my ability to see it through alone. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1966970/Ingression For me, Ingression isn't just a game; it's a milestone, a defining moment in my journey as a developer. No matter where life takes me next, I'll always cherish this project, knowing that I created something truly exceptional. Thank you for purchasing this and sharing your thoughts about it in the reviews!

Hey-hey runners, It's been a wild ride. Countless hours of coding, testing, and tweaking every pixel to perfection. But now, it's finally happening. My game, the one I poured my heart and soul into, is coming to life on May 3rd! [previewyoutube=UgWX8jqDs08;full][/previewyoutube] To all of you who added it to your wishlist, thank you. Your support means everything. It's been a journey of passion, frustration, and determination, but seeing it all come together is beyond words.

Also, I wanted to share some things I haven't told anyone yet!

Inspiration and Motivation

As a player who loves 2D platformers like Celeste, who is also obsessed with Valve's Portal, I thought of how I could mix these two. I felt like what people call "portals" in 2D games are usually some basic teleportation system, skinned to look like a portal. I wanted to design portals in 2D, such that it would feel seamless like 3D games.

Development Challenges and Overcoming Them

The biggest development problems that emerged were caused by portals. The biggest issue was how common algorithms and systems used in game development couldn't be used when you have portals that bend spacetime. In the end, I had to implement portal versions of core systems and common algorithms which made everything interact with portals.

Game Features

PORTALS. Ingression has an implementation of portals like no other 2D game ever had before. On top of that, as portals are the main focus of the game, every mechanic and level element interacts with portals to create an immersive and unique experience.
So mark your calendars, set your alarms, because on May 3rd, we're diving into a world I've crafted with love and care. Let's make this release one to remember! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1966970/Ingression See you in the year 2442 in the corrupt Galactic Empire.

Hey-hey, runners!

We have great news for you all, and it is regarding you being able to play Ingression!

We are launching a completely free prologue!

You will be able to complete the first chapter of the game and participate in a special Trial level. [previewyoutube=xL5ZFyxfM-8;full][/previewyoutube]

Here's the link if you want to install the prologue right now, and while you are downloading and wishlisting it - let's dive into the details

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2761970/Ingression_The_Portal_Trial/

Jump through seamless portals

One of the most fun things in the whole game for sure are seamless portals. And when you combine them with a dynamic precision platformer - it creates an absolutely wild gameplay that will put your reflexes to a test!
We had tons of fun creating these levels, and we hope that you'll have even more fun playing them! I don't want to spoil the fun for you, but in the future, we'll have a LOT more to show to you!

Dynamic gameplay

If you watched the trailer - I think you get what I mean, and if not - [spoiler]please watch it, we worked really hard to put it together [/spoiler]
In any case, the levels are designed to be challenging enough for you to struggle your way through them, but not to an "almost impossible" level of struggle. If you are afraid that it will be too hard for you - then hey, give it a shot! The prologue is free and it will be here for a while. And if you find that the game's levels are too easy...

Challenge yourself with a Trial level!

Oh boy, I've spent countless hours on this one already... A true testament to your skills and your will to be the best of the best. Sure, just going through it at your own pace is probably not that hard, but try to do it in under 20 seconds and you'll get what I mean.
Compete with players worldwide on the leaderboard, or get your friends and decide who's the best once and for all! And if you'll manage to do it in under 19 seconds... Well, I don't really have a reward for that, but chances are that your name will be on the top of the leadearboard!

Share your experience!

Hop on in our Community Hub to discuss the game, ask questions, and get a response from us! We would LOVE to hear what you think about our game, as we poured our hearts and souls into it.
