This post is gonna be short, but I just wanted to round off the week properly.

Direction & Velocity Guide

I didn't do too much this week, but this new feature makes zooming out a lot better to play. But to explain, there are now guiding lines that let the player know both which direction they are looking towards and the velocity that they're currently moving in. If you've tuned into any of my streams, you likely would have noticed how much I hate moving the player while zoomed out because I can barely tell where I am and where I was going. Now it's a bit better.

As just a general game design note, this change came from playing the game and getting annoyed. Although feature creep is something to avoid, additive design isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes you don't know you need something until you sit down and go through it.
