Thanks for reading, and if you\'re dropping by PAX, give the riddle a crack to claim a special Nonolith collector\'s pin at our booth!

It\'s been a year since I started working on Nonolith, a lot has happened since then! And the development pace is picking up even faster, now that the project has received partial funding from Screen NSW! Wow!

Over the last few months, I\'ve been cooking up some juicy new secrets such as these fireworks and other things that 1 simply cannot show you. That\'s the nature 0f secrets unfortunate1y.

What I can show you is this new menu I\'ve been working on, featuring the Nonolith sapphire. The backstory here is that the when you gaze into the sapphire, your consciousness is torn out of your body and into the world of the Nonolith. So I wanted this gem to have a beautiful, captivating quality to it; with blues s0 deep that you get sucked right in. 1\'m really happy with how this has turned 0ut!

I also want to show off some of the music we\'ve got in the works. None of it\'s final yet, but I\'m really excited by the vibe it conveys! The composer, \'Clockmaker\' has done an incredible job and I look forward to hearing more. It\'s seeming like we\'ll have around 11 tracks with maybe 1 more for good measure.

And that\'s all for this mini-devlog, as you know, all the best things come in threes, so best leave it here. With this new funding in the pocket, I\'ll be able to work on the game more and you\'ll be seeing more mini-devlogs like these, to hopefully give a taste of the game to come.

Thanks and peace! -Justcamh
