Sneak Peak into this Jam Games Future

Next Steps

Over the past two weeks since submissions closed, I’ve realized just how much potential this jam project has to grow into a fully developed game. To support that vision, I completely rebuilt the game from the ground up, establishing a robust framework designed for scalability and future expansion.

Recently implemented features include:

• Basic NPCs and Basic Dialogue
• Parkour Ledge Grabs
• Physics-Based Interactions with Water
• Dynamic Day/Night Cycle -  [most likely to get scrapped due to performance issues, or completely reworked]
• Weather Effects 
• Swimming

Planned features include:

• Simple Quest System
• Basic Dialogue Choices
• Hidden Collectibles
• Speedrunning
• Accessibility Options/Options Menu

Once these features are implemented and refined, I’ll shift focus toward developing the game’s story and polished assets. In the meantime, I’m working on a vertical slice tutorial level. This will serve as a hands-on introduction to the core mechanics. Upon completion, it will mark the release of Beta 1.0.0, after which full production of the game will begin. The tutorial is primarily a testbed to ensure all systems work seamlessly before building out the larger experience.
