Random and unfinished stuff, Delay. (because Covid)

Well...

time flies by, and its already 2.5 months since I wrote something.

Lets get the bad part out of the way first, quickly:

- Delay
- because I got Covid, twice, in the last 8 weeks. (3rd time in total)
- and the 2nd time was bad, and doesnt really want to go away again -.-

Sorry, not much I could do about that.
PS: Yes, I am aware that some of you have been waiting for a long time now, and I am honestly sorry about.

I dont have much to show, besides unfinished things. This is because I do not want to show off everything that is in the game at the moment. (some things shall be a surprise when playing :P)

So, lets start with something small I added to the game, which is the option to change the pattern on the colored walls. It is now possible to choose between the patterns from RT2, RTE2 and RT4 - whichever you like the most. The game can switch between them on the fly, no restart needed.

Now, some random Screenshots of very unfinished areas. Please dont mind any missing walls etc. I am showing these to show an accurate picture of things progressing.

Random Staircase I found visually interesting, due to the reflections on the walls:

Just a random area, with some missing walls in the Background:

And for the last Screenshot for today, a random (smaller) puzzle from the early part of the game. (obviously unfinished etc.):

The game is in a good state, it works well, some minor bugs here and there, but it needs more content. There is nothing wrong with it and I am not hiding anything, its just a very messy time at the moment, therefore progress was not as quick as I had planned.

Again, I am sorry for the Delay, but this was not something that I could do much about. It was only a matter of time until I get unlucky when catching (bad) covid, now was the time.

But that said: I will not rush the game, I did that with RT3 and I think the game suffered from it. RT4 is more complex and larger, which makes it more difficult to build, and I am not going to throw away all the effort just to release a few weeks earlier.

Thats all for now, hopefully the next time I have more to share, since there definitely is more in the game.
