  • Gameplay
addedBrand New Inventory System:
addedThe new inventory system will feature a distinction between key items, which will never be removed, and consumable items, which will be used up during the game—whether by crafting them into other things or using them to unlock doors. Additionally, the inventory system includes a highlight feature and item descriptions!
addedBrand New Character Controller
addedThe new character controller features FOV-based movement, sway, and animations to make it feel more lifelike, enhancing the overall immersive and weighted experience, as if you were moving in real life. Feedback will be used to fine-tune the feel in the future!
addedNew Phone Message System
addedThe new phone and message system allows greater control over which messages appear on screen, how they are displayed, and how they can be navigated. It offers more precise timings, customizable colors, and enhanced interaction, compared to the previous system, which was merely textures on a 3D model. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Welcome to the second devlog for Left Alone: Rebirth! Apologies for the delay in updates—it's been a busy six months, mainly due to work commitments and major eye surgery. I’ve been dealing with glaucoma for the past 15 years and have undergone numerous surgeries. My most recent procedure was a critical revision of previous operations. (Without this surgery, my eye would have been at risk of infection and far more serious complications. However, the procedure itself carried significant risks.)

It’s been a slow recovery process, but I’m finally getting back to development and hope to make these blog posts more frequent!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the updates. Thanks so much!
