Here's what's in Playtest 2.0

The biggest change is the one I teased in the last dev blog - casting. It's physics-based now. I rebuilt it from the ground up, and I genuinely think it changes how the whole thing feels. You're going to notice it immediately.

view You'll start in the same spot as before (the tutorial). I want to know if it lands better this time. Your feedback is very much appreciated. And then there's the area near the church. That wasn't in the first playtest. There's also more of the story in there now.

But since everyone loves bullet points, here's a bullet list of what's new:

  • Physics-based line casting

  • New areas to fish

  • Moving objects underwater

  • The shop

  • More story

  • Mausoleum puzzle

When you play, fill out the form. The feedback from the first playtest genuinely shaped what you're about to play. This round will do the same.
