We’re back with another development update from Project Enceladus . This one dives a bit deeper into the techy side of things, so if you're into performance tricks, custom tools, and animation workflows — this is for you! Performance Upgrades – Custom Data Layers & HISM As our levels grow larger and more complex, performance becomes a bigger concern — especially in a puzzle-platformer where flo…
As we get deeper into development on Project Enceladus , we wanted to take a step back and share something a bit more personal: Why this game? Why this genre mix? Why this tone?
