There have been several updates since the last one in the demo while we've been working hard to get the game ready for release. This is a summary of the most important changes since v0.2.0: · Routes no longer have a "difficulty rating" (stars) associated with them. Difficulty is now exclusively tied to the difficulty settings that can be customised in the lobby. · The time limit for Normal mode…

Difficulty settings have been added to the tablet. Players can now choose from Cozy, Normal, or Hard mode, or choose Custom to fully customise the game's settings. · More player icons reflecting the player's current state have been added to the HUD (bottom-left corner). · Fixed a bug where players would be positioned incorrectly after standing up from a seat.
Balancing now gets slightly harder the higher up you are. · More on-screen warnings are now shown as sunset approaches. · Fixed a bug where the player's axe-climbing would occasionally get interrupted when climbing across small ledges. · Fixed players' sitting position and animation.
Ambient lighting during the later in-game hours is now slightly brighter. · Energy consumed when attaching to a surface with the Axes while in midair has been slightly increased.
Players will no longer receive a Game Over if all players have reached the summit. Also, the in-game time will not go past the end-of-day time once all players have reached the summit. · Mindful Moment benches will now switch to a third-person camera while in use. Players can use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out while in this view. · The achievement for bringing Ernie to the summit will now be un…

I began working on RISE in 2021… By 2023 I was burned out and unsure if a first-person co-op climbing game would appeal to anyone. After the success of PEAK in 2025, I felt reassured that it was worth finishing. I’m proud to share this mix of my favourite things - co-op games, climbing, and megastructures. Today we’re kicking off the very first playtest for RISE! This playtest is for the demo t…
