I can definitely see it working but horror games aren't my jam 😰

Improved pathfinding for Reconfigure. A custom AStar system that uses the map state already present in the game. No more double bookkeeping just to keep pathfinding functional!

Went to the woods. Found some chanterelles, hedgehog mushrooms and a porcini!

Yup! A "demo" approach would likely work better. Without a sizeable update to the game I doubt I would get another go at the featuring opportunities though and I'm not feeling exactly motivated to work on that project anymore. 😀

Despite the game being good it might not just be appealing for the average app store enjoyer idk 🤷‍♂️

I have a 5$ game on App Store with a 4.9/5 average review score. I got the most coveted featuring spot that a small dev can practically get, the game of the day on US App Store. I made like a thousand bucks from that.

Many #indieDeveloper s embrace retro or lo-fi graphics for style, nostalgia, and faster production. @anttitiihonen.bsky.social will demonstrate how turning retro limits into strengths led to the unique visuals of Reconfigure at #GodotFest!

Cheers! I'm happy how it's gone so far. My plans with the visuals were very vague when I started 🙂

Thanks! System Shock, both the remake and the OG, are definitely a big inspiration for this!
