WISHLIST ON STEAM
What we touched this week. What broke. What we kept because it's amazing.
Raw notes from development. No PR spin. If it was weird, broken, or accidentally terrifying, it goes in here.
Layer 1's shader environment is in. fBm noise, two warps deep, breathing pulse on a slow LFO. The character is one black silhouette with two glowing eyes and it already feels like a game.
Foundation week. Engine: Godot 4. Backgrounds are a single ShaderMaterial on a fullscreen quad — near-zero GPU cost on the laptop we tested with. Film grain applied globally as the last pass.
Movement uses a simple top-down controller with a dash that grants 14 iFrames. No animation polish yet. The placeholder silhouette is a flat black PNG and honestly we may not replace it for a while.
