Development Update April 2022

Hello puzzle friends,

a new month is just around the corner, which means for us: time for the next development update of The Unbeatable Path.
This month our main focus was the completion of the new map "Staring Woods". In addition to the level design, further 3D models, animations and the intro of the level were completed. We also tested the map extensively and found time for another voice actor session.

Project Progress

• Completion of the map "Staring Woods": As expected, we still needed the whole month of April to complete the new map. With a total of 4 puzzles awaiting the player in this level, this map is the largest in the entire game so far. All 4 puzzles are completely different and must be solved in order to advance to another smaller area within the map. There the player will have to solve another mini puzzle to reach the next level "Endless Manor" (working title).
• Quality Assurance Tests: Also this month our QA has had a lot to do with extensively testing the further implemented puzzles and finding possible bugs. Based on these tests, the 4 puzzles of the map were optimized and found bugs were fixed.
• 3D Modeling & Animation: for the remaining puzzles some 3D models and animations were still missing. These have now been completed and implemented. The intro took some time here, as the player falls from the sky into the new map, giving an impression of the remaining levels of the game from a long distance.
• Voice Actor Session: this month our voice actress was busy again and recorded all missing voice overs in another recording session for our main character Mia.

Eye Candy

As always, here are some visual impressions of the game regarding our new map "Staring Woods". All assets are work in progress and can therefore still change in the final game.
