The Great Return to itch.io

Dyer Expedition (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Hello

I took October to work on a major update for the demo which I released on Steam just before Halloween. Now that I remembered that itch.io was a thing, I uploaded the version here as well. The update focuses on

  • A new area at the end of was used to be the old demo doubling the demo's size.
  • An upgrade from Unity 2020 LTS to Unity 2022.3 LTS for some much needed engine features (e. g. light cookies, decals, much less painful custom post-processing).
  • Lots of code refactoring and tossing out old junk thanks to having more experience with the engine.
  • No more baked lightmaps. They look awesome but baking lightmaps in Unity is a PITA and it slowed down development tenfold. A better understanding of Unity's lighting system allows me to approximate the current look really well I think.

Any feedback is appreciated as always.

Wishlist on Steam, yell at me on Discord, follow the game on social media yadda yadda and all of the marketing jazz. Peace.
