It took a while, but the next devlog is finally up. Rather than talking about something I've added to the game like usual, this time I'm I explaining my decision to get rid of the wonderland mechanic, which was one of the first features I worked on. Along the way, I also talk a bit about the history of the game and the mechanic, and compare and contrast the level design philosophies behind Escher and Monument Valley.

This one is lighter on technical details than the last one - it's mostly focused on my thought process regarding level design, as well as the game design lessons I've learned from playtests.

It's a shorter video this time, mainly breaking down a graphical effect I recently implemented and showing step-by-step how it gets rendered. I also talk briefly about the project's build system.

Another Escher devlog. This one is about some UI work I've done to make organizing the game's levels more convenient. I compare the old interface with the new one, and explain a bit about how IMGUI allows the new interface to stay very simple by holding only a bare minimum amount of persistent state.

Although Escher's HMN page has not updated in a long time, the game is still in active development, and it has changed substantially. For those who may be curious, I've made a short video overview of the game's current state:

There's nothing especially technical in this video, but future ones will go into the nitty gritty details. I think I can find motivation to make devlog videos that I just couldn't find for long text posts, so I hope that this will be the start of a period of regular (likely every other week or so) updates about the game's development progress.
