Our journey to the Pre-Alpha release was a collaborative effort, marked by unique innovation across all departments. Here, we detail the contributions of each team and share glimpses into our studio's hard work through images and video clips that capture the essence of our game development process.

​

Programming Team

Led by Bobby, Chase, and Evan, the programming team quickly transformed concepts into tangible gameplay mechanics. They tackled complex tasks such as character movements, enemy attack patterns, and UI development. From refining shield mechanics to implementing intuitive sprint directions, their problem-solving skills were instrumental in bringing 'Introspection' to life. In this particular release, we enhanced enemy AI and VFX, refined main and pause menus with focus on key remapping for accessibility, and building on player interactions/movement to be more innovative.
