Welcome to a new update! During this sprint, we have continued working on one of the most important progression systems in Raiders Rise, while also developing new content, characters, and environments. Here's what the team has been working on over the last few weeks.
🏆 Trophy Road Progression System
The development of Trophy Road is now around 90% complete. This new system will allow players to progress through a trophy and rank-based progression path, unlocking rewards as they climb higher.
We have also added a new post-match progression screen where players can see the trophies they earned, their progress toward the next rank, and the upcoming rewards available.
In addition, the system is now integrated into the Collection screen and each Raider's page, allowing players to check their current rank, progress, and remaining milestones at any time.
As part of this system, we have also started integrating leaderboards, which will unlock once players progress far enough in Trophy Road.
We are also adapting the entire experience for mobile devices by reorganizing the interface to make better use of the available space and make navigation much more comfortable on smaller screens.
🎮 Menus and Store
We have updated the store's artwork to improve immersion and make it easier to find everything players need.
The level system has also been updated. Now each map belongs to its own planet, and we have created a universe map where players will be able to see the complete list of levels.
🎮 Gameplay and Core Systems
The first version of Tutorial V2 is now fully implemented. The team is currently focused on testing, fixing bugs, and continuing to polish the experience so that new players can learn the game's mechanics in a much more natural and enjoyable way.
At the same time, the first design work has started on new gameplay features, including mini-bosses and several improvements for the co-op experience. These mechanics are still in the concept and prototype phase, but they will lay the foundation for future updates.
🧠 Characters, Skins, and Cosmetics
The art team continues expanding the cosmetic collection with new skins for characters such as Kathy and Korin. Most of the artwork is already complete, and we are currently working on the final integrations and animations before adding them to the game.
We are also continuing work on higher-rarity skins, developing new exclusive animations and visual effects for Mythic skins, which are now almost complete and ready for integration.
🌍 Level Design and Environments
Development of Planet 3 continues with improvements to level structure, colliders, and gameplay distribution to provide a more solid and balanced experience.
In addition, we have completed the asset selection for Biome 3, creating a first version of the vegetation, rocks, and environmental elements that will give this new area its own identity. At the same time, we continue producing new props to bring each level to life.
We have also spent part of the sprint optimizing and polishing existing planets, updating assets and performing new visual passes to improve the overall quality of all environments.
🔊 Environmental Audio
Finally, we have completed the implementation of the environmental sound system for the remaining planets. New ambient effects and dynamic sounds help make each environment feel much more immersive and strengthen the identity of every planet as you explore the world of Raiders Rise.
🏁 Sprint Wrap-Up
With Trophy Road getting closer to completion and Tutorial V2 already implemented, we continue moving toward a much more complete experience for both new and veteran players. At the same time, work on new biomes, skins, and future gameplay mechanics is progressing well, and we can't wait to show you everything that is coming next.
