There's been so much progress on the game, it's hard to condense it down to a 10 minute devlog. First I've been thinking a lot about the game mechanics and how they fit into puzzle gameplay. I realized that the demo (by the way, you can sign up to be a beta tester over on Discord!) doesn't currently have enough variety and movement in the gameplay, so I've introduced a new mechanic and a few new puzzle pieces to help mix it up. I've also made a somewhat controversial decision to remove free-jumping from the game and instead replace it with a targeted jump system. This gives me way more control over the level design and really doesn't hamper the gameplay at all (in fact, I think the jumping is actually more fun now). Finally, I started incorporating @unity's new Photo Mode demo project to the game over on Twitch! It's been a fun project to work on each stream, and something that I think is going to be a nice little bonus feature for the game. I hope you enjoy the video, leave your thoughts down below, and don't forget to like, subscribe and of course, wishlist the game on Steam! Song: Venkatesananda - Jesse Gallagher Original Score by John Konsolakis: www.johnkonsolakis.eu Farewell North is my personal passion project, an open world adventure game about restoring color to a dark and desolate archipelago where all color and life has left. You play as a collie working alongside your human companion to explore, solve puzzles, evade monsters, and restore color to the islands. #devlog #gaming #videogames #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unity #unity3d #madewithunity #steam #steamgame #blender #graphics #puzzle
