Changes

Its been a while since the pre-alpha demo and some parts of the games have been changed quite a lot. So we want to update you on some of the things that have changed. The big picture is still the same; explore a woollen world, find collect lots of colours and fabrics, and find new shapes for Stuffy while you enjoy the story in rhyme. But weve also added lots of new stuff, and changed some things around. So here is a quick update on some of the gameplay features that have a prominent role in the game, WITH some brand-new screenshots and artwork!

Blueprint Machines

Stuffy will change during the game, as you can swap out body part of different shape and form. Elephant legs are strong, but rabbit legs can jump! Previously, you could encounter creatures just like Stuffy, scan them, and then Glitch would make a blueprint for you. Well this has changed! There are many new animal shapes in Woven, but the only way to get a new shape is by finding and unlocking a blueprint machine. This will require a sharp eye and a bit of timing! As in the demo, each animal-shape will have their own skillset, so keep an eye out for these machines, as they will give you more customisation options.

Hidden Dangers

You'd be surprised how many hidden dangers a 'safe' woollen world can harbour! Those of you that have played the demo know the gameplay is not all softness and wool. There are metal machines about. Spotting, recognizing and getting past these dangers is a very important part of the game. Sometimes it comes down to being quick, at other times youll have to be creative. Creating these dangers has been a real design challenge. We didnt want to bog down Wovens relaxed play-style with frightening jumpscares; thats not the game we want to make! But we did want certain areas in the game where Stuffy would have to walk on his proverbial toes. We think youll like what weve cooked up.

Secret Caves

New and important, hidden caves are scattered all over the world. They will be difficult to find, but will reward you with beautiful hand-drawn cave drawings that tell a whole story of their own. Finding theses caves isnt necessary to complete the game, but will certainly add to your knowledge of the Woven word in a way you might not have expected. Thats it for this update.
