👀 WHAT'S NEXT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For the next update, we'll mainly be focusing on two areas:
Intro and stage selection revamp
Feedback from our playtests has shown that the current intro and stage selection design can be unclear for players. In upcoming updates, we want to better highlight each stage, its modifiers, the player's progression, and what to expect from the game.
Lighting improvements
Lighting is a key part of getting each stage's feel right, and it's something we've been consistently working on. One example is creating unique lighting for specific in-game events.
We still have plenty of ideas in the works. Look forward to future updates!
