Infinity Wanderer Developer Diary #6
Bosses in the game now have a phase system. With the phase system in bosses, when certain health values are reached, the attack patterns and behaviors of the boss creatures change. With this update, we have increased the depth of the boss scenes considerably. In addition, the readability of the bosses' attacks has been improved.
We have made changes to our main menu design. Existing menu designs have been optimized and missing features have been implemented into the game both visually and functionally. In addition, an in-game menu design has been made in line with the main menu UI standards. Similarly, both the visual features and functions of this menu have been designed and developed.
Following the long-term developments in the game, various studies were carried out for performance stabilization. Considering the loads that the in-game light and shadow systems put on the performance of the current systems, necessary systems were revised and improvements were made. With these improvements, our game became more system-friendly.
After the last update, in-game balances were made in quite different categories. The statistics of the enemies were reviewed again and the necessary updates were provided. The difficulty curve and character development feeling that the player will encounter with the time spent in the game were reconsidered. The game's gameplay times were increased considerably and many new environmental elements were placed in the levels. In addition, secret and openable areas supporting the Metroidvania theme were added to the sections. The number of elements that can be interacted with in the game was increased (traps, opening and closing doors, breakable environmental elements, etc.). Section lighting and shadowing over the lights were optimized and added to the game.
Various atmospheric sounds and background music have been added to our game. New music has been designed and integrated to be used on the main menu screen and the Credits screen. In addition to this, the sound effects of the main character's various movements and attacks, which we mentioned in our previous developer diaries, have been updated. In addition to the existing and updated ones, many new sound effects have been added to the game.
Story System: A system has been developed where the items that the player can collect with the progress in the game or the discovery of secret areas, their stories or explanations can be examined via the menu. A visual book schematic was also prepared and the contents were listed and displayed on this book. Controller Schema and Settings: The current controller settings in the game were reviewed and default controller settings were created to provide a better gaming experience. In addition, compatibility modes with different controllers were set and a system that allows the user to adjust the controller settings as desired was integrated into the game. Accessibility Features: Various accessibility features have been developed to enable users to use them when needed in the game (one-handed mode, color blind mode, etc.). Speedrun and Leaderboard Mode: A system called Speedrun Mode has been developed that will attract the attention of our more competitive players in the game. With this system, the player can observe the current levels in the game and various time etc. data related to the entire gaming experience while playing the game. In addition, an infrastructure was created where players can visualize this data on a Leaderboard System and compete among themselves. This infrastructure was integrated into the game and is ready for use.

Infinity Wanderer is a roguelite, souls-lite inspired action-platformer. Players will dive into the dark and immersive story of Lunara, a warrior who faces her deepest fears in a nightmare world. With handcrafted levels designed to keep players engaged, and a deep character customization system, Infinity Wanderer offers a fluid and challenging combat experience that blends fast-paced gameplay with strategic souls-like mechanics.
Story:
Lunara, the daughter of a farmer, was born at night during a time when a devastating disease was spreading across the world. Her mother died shortly after her birth, and her father named her Lunara in honor of her mother's love for the moonlight. The disease ravaged the population, claiming many lives, including Lunara's father. Raised amidst this turmoil, Lunara became a warrior.
Despite not being a particularly successful soldier, Lunara was a strong woman committed to protecting her people and lands. The disease had mostly affected men, leaving the surviving women to band together and continue the fight. Humanity was not only battling disease but also facing violence and evil spirits in the east. During a perilous expedition, Lunara received a fatal blow. As she lay motionless on cold stones and snow, she questioned her existence and fate.
Refusing to accept death, Lunara screamed until her voice grew hoarse and she slowly succumbed to her injuries. Seeing her defiance, the gods decided to give her another chance. If Lunara could escape the nightmare land, her life would be restored. She awoke in a dark, terrifying world that mirrored her deepest fears and nightmares. Lunara must navigate this world, overcome the madness within her mind, and confront the traumas of her past to survive.
