Hi, again. I've been working on this project for awhile and I've been stuck with problems that are unnecessary for progress towards playtest launch build. So here is some stuff I've done, delayed and considered.
- Debug Map
" Screenshots are dark and I'm still thinking what style I should go for with my maps. Dark or bright? "
This Debug Map is big leap towards first release. It will probably be never playable, but maybe I could include it in playtest. During making this debug map I made some prefabs and learned better ways to build faster and more precisely. So this was huge W :)))
- Ready Up system (delayed)
This was one of the things I was stuck with for awhile and decided that it's not necessary for launch. It will be implemented definitely, but now it just gotta wait. I'd rather focus on more important baseline things, such as maps and items.

Rebranding
I was okay with the old designs, but I felt they were little dull and I wanted to change that. First of all, this new design ain't 100% confirmed to be final art style that Escapers will take step forward to. Game itself would need graphical adjustments to look bit more futuristic in order to comply with the new art design.
TBH I had big problem with flashlights. But now that has been fixed, and flashlights works perfectly! This means that I've understood the basics of interactable network objects and this allows me to move forward on development. But release date or even estimated time for beta testing period is unknown. I can't promise anything for you guys so you just be patient. Here is some new stuff that I've made other than flashlight.
[ITEM PICKUPS & THROWING]
- My goal with this game mechanic is to create possibilities to use your creativity while playing the game. Also it's great use for fooling around with friends ;)
- This mechanic is still under consideration. Since it can be triggered by other players, it can become very frustrating in the end. But I'm not gonna exclude it from Beta Release.
That is most I can give you. Hopefully I survive doing this project :)
