MyDream Journal - 8/29/15 Entry

Greetings MyDream Journal Readers! This past week has been full of continued progress towards controls and feature designs! We’ve been making great progress with the controls and have started working on balance and fine-tuning. Some adjustments to the current jump height, distance, and overall mechanics will be coming soon, including a new Power Jump that expends energy to provide an extra boost to jump strength! Speaking of Energy, we’re looking at rebalancing the use of it for gameplay. Currently the energy meter is represented by the dial on the glove, which isn’t very noticeable. Energy is only linked up to digging with the mining laser, and isn’t linked up to inhibit use when expended. We’re looking into ways to change that to make energy a meaningful - but not annoying - part of gameplay and balancing of future features. This also comes with a shift from being displayed on the glove dial to the hotbar right crescent, so it will be more visible and readable at all times. Come back next week for more news and updates!
