Bound to Light

Final prototype version!

Hi everyone!


Today we released Bound To Light version 0.2.0, hype! We’ve been listening to feedback from various sources on how to improve the game, here’s a list of the things we’ve done, don’t worry, no spoilers.


  1. GENERAL:

      Squashed too many bugs to count, some notable fixes are:
    • Enemy behaviour is more consistent and less punishing, no more beasts teleporting through walls!
    • Movable blocks should no longer get stuck on edges
    • Lux will attempt to defy the laws of physics less often when falling from ledges, although it was kind of cool to look at in the end we did not want it in the game.


  2. VISUALS:

    • We’ve done some tweaking to the visual style of the majority of the puzzles, this includes new assets & updates visual effects.
    • Updated some animations, added some new animations.


  3. AUDIO:

    • More spooky ambient sounds throughout the game.
    • Updated sound effects, added new sound effects, just listen to that swap!


  4. GAMEPLAY:

    • We’ve re-designed almost all of the puzzles in the game, these changes vary from minor clarification changes to complete re-designs, try it out and see for yourselves!
    • Some doors have been replaced with barred doors, this change was to make it easier to see what will happen when certain doors are opened.
    • Added new runes that appear in puzzles, see if you can figure out what they mean!
    • Lux can no longer throw rocks. This feature was something that we initially thought would be a great addition but ultimately did not fit in with the rest of the game (it also made development of enemies trickier), therefore we decided to not keep it in the game.
    • You can now look around with the camera using right-stick on controller or moving the mouse when using keyboard and mouse.




This changelog could be much longer, but as mentioned above we do not want to spoil the game for you! So without delaying you further, go ahead and give Bound To Light 0.2.0 a try! Sadly this is also our official feature-stop for a while, but don’t worry, we’re still listening to feedback and fixing bugs!
Now go save some souls!

Some new stuff and patches!

Hey!



- We did some smaller adjustments to some puzzles

- Made it visually clearer that you make more noise when your running or interacting with stuff

- Fixed some stuff with the shadow beasts (more to come)

- Some small performance optimization.


We're planning and working to do more changes, please give all the feedback you can during this time!

Cheers,

Babloonians

Updated Interaction! #1 Steam Announcement!

Hey all!

We're super happy you're trying out our prototype here on Steam!

In this patch (Demo 1.7) we're doing an update to some stuff:


  • Husk interaction
  • Pressure plates
  • Some puzzles updated with new braziers and pressure plates
  • Moveable blocks




It’s supposed to be easier to spot when activating a pressure plate and interacting with husks.

Please try it out and tell us what you think!

We are also really excited to have the prototype on steam, tell your friends to download it if they might fancy this kind of game. And give us feedback based on your experience with the game and we will try to make Bound To Light the absolute best it can be!

Cheers,
Babloon Studios
