Welcome Liminauts!

Been a hot minute since my last update, had to juggle some life stuff, took a weekend break from game dev'ing to be social, and so on but I'm back!

Not only am I back but you may have noticed in the image back there are 20 location photos on the wall of the Liminaut Compound now!

My original plan was to make 20 Spaces then do some quality passes, add audio, and release Version Tan (0.1) although I have rethought this plan now as I've learnt lots of new things as I've developed Liminaut and thus I'd like to go back to earlier Spaces and update them a little but also I'm hoping to add a rare variant of most Spaces and if I can get him to behave I would REALLY like to add the ominous dream based Boogie-Man of our reality "The Hat Man" to the game as a rare event who'll try to hunt you down and wake you up for undisclosed reasons.

This means the project is gonna take a bit longer before the first beta build is released but I think it'll be worth it!

In the mean time though to keep you all hyped here are two up coming Spaces for the game!

Two New Spaces

The Court
An ominous tennis court in the middle of a forest clearing at the end of the day illuminated by only the flood lights around it.

The Water Way
A circular water way during a bright day, but what if there's more going on under the surface?

Objects and Files

I've also been working on objects you'll get to interact with on your travels through the Dreamscape. These are how you'll follow the disjointed and non-linear "plot" of Liminaut. I'm taking the idea from Dark Souls that if you just wanna play the game, explore spaces, get spooked, and walk away reading your own tale into what you did, awesome! But if you're a lore lover who craves a story being told you'll wanna inspect every item you find, read every note, as there will be a tale being told in Liminaut, one which connects to other games of mine actually >:D

The objects are inspired by the horror game series Siren (or Forbidden Siren), in these games there are collectables which are made from real world objects that the dev team put together rather than illustrations. I find the idea of this super fun so I thought I'd embrace it. I'm starting out with objects I already own (as my budget is £0) but I'd like to craft some of the more unusual finds in the game in future updates!

Also big shout out to eurothug4000 who did videos for Siren 1 and Siren 2 which inspired me to take this route! :D

That's All For Now

Right, I better get back to work as Liminaut isn't gonna make its self! 

As always thanks for reading and if you wanna keep a closer eye on the development of Liminaut I recommend following me on Threads:)
