Hello Keepers,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Future Games Show! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the developer deep dive, so feel free to share your impressions in the comments.
If you missed the stream, you can watch the video on YouTube:
In the deep dive, we talk about our approach to building a highly interactive world, creating satisfying repair gameplay through sound and feedback, and how we design different categories of repairs throughout THE LIFT.
We also announced that our next playtest begins on June 14th. If you'd like to help shape the game with your feedback, make sure to sign up for the playtest on our Steam store page for a chance to explore the latest build.
Until then, keep the lights on!
