Hey! 

So, I'm still working hard on this magnetic puzzle game. Since we last spoke, I've been completely overhauling the character controller. Turning it from a floaty, imprecise mess - into something that actually feels fun to play.

My latest episode of Developing - How I made an actually good character this time - documents the process. And my subsequent exhaustion.

If you'd like to try the character controller for yourself, I've uploaded a super short demo build on Itch.io. Head here to unlock access. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Oh! I also won the Unity Award! I don't get anything for it, but it's a nice validation that this project - which remains quite scary and challenging to pull off - is actually working.

That being said, it's time for a game dev break. So in April I'm going to be working on some other videos - classic GMTK stuff you know and love. Plus, a quick trip to The Netherlands for my final lecture at Breda.

Speak soon. Thanks as always for your support.

The new character feels so much better! It's so fun to play around, I can't wait to try few levels with it!

Late to this particular party, but is the code available to take a peek at? If not, I totally understand, just curious if it was shared with the community. Thanks!
