The Road To Beta!

I have finally reached a point where the entire game is playable end to end. Although I can't show anything from the last level due to spoilers, I will say that you get a grappling hook :) You can see it in the footage below along with the new simulation level aesthetic though! I'm now taking a stab at re-doing the first level more in the style of the first demo (some of you may remember). Lots of folks brought up how that one felt more open and didn't involve boring long climbing sections. So I'm taking the best of both demos and mashing them together!

Beyond this, it's all about details:

One more level design sweep just to make sure gameplay progresses nicely and story points aren't missing
Cutscenes
Revamp of the dialogue system to support localization
Taking a stab at redesigning the HUD to be less intrusive
Revamping the Hints system aesthetic
I may add some style to the Scanning system
I may re-implement the menu and settings system
Adding some environmental life (lights, precipitation, environmental sounds, etc.)
Finalizing the music
Create the crystal levels
A few bug fixes
Beta
Address beta feedback and bug fixes
Steam Achievements

That may seem like a lot, but I feel lighter given how much is done already. [previewyoutube=vrtY2fa0efw;full][/previewyoutube] Until next time!

Lorn's Lure is an atmospheric narrative first-person platformer with novel climb-anything mechanics and modernized retro 3D graphics.

Leaving his home colony while tracking a mysterious glitch, an android finds himself in the midst of a vast and dangerous structure, completely hidden from his people's knowledge. Unable to go back, you must keep going to find out where he is being led... And why he left in the first place.

Dark foreboding atmosphere
Retro 90s PC graphics, with a modern flair.
Uncover mysterious lore as you travel into the depths.
Jump, climb, slide, and scan your way around difficult challenges, using simple mechanics.
No "Parkour Ledges". Climb almost any vertical wall face using your pickaxes!
It's a tough game, but not frustrating! Mistakes are not punished by redoing lengthy sections.
Play fast or slow. Take in the sights as you traverse, or play as fast as a speed runner.
