We’re sprinting toward our first major milestone: the Proof of Concept launch on Itch.io, July 1st. Here's what's happening behind the scenes:
🎨 Our 2D artist is working on the player character animations, breathing life into the rogue, warrior, archer, and wizard frame by frame.
⚙️ The water drainage pump machine for Level 3’s sunken dungeon is in production. Players will need to activate and assemble this puzzle piece by piece.
🎵 We’ve started laying down the main theme for the game — something moody, mysterious, and haunting to match our dark pixel world.
No massive bugs this week… though we did briefly turn the archer into a gelatinous mess when testing jump animations. Classic.
Finalizing the Zone 1 background art and lighting effects
Building the pipe puzzle logic for the water pump in level 3
Dropping in placeholder sound FX while music production continues
Do you prefer puzzles that are calm and clever — or ones that make you rage-sweat with satisfaction once you finally solve them?
Tell us in the comments! We’re tuning challenge levels based on early feedback.
Our Proof of Concept is dropping July 1st — and we want YOU there when it happens.
