My game have 197 wishlists! And i made it more casual.

After completing Steam NextFest, I came to the conclusion that the game's concept needed to be slightly modified. Previously, the principle of completing levels was borrowed from the NES (Dendy) and Sega MD. That is, if you spend your points, you start the game (level) over. But this is too difficult for modern players, and to prevent them from dropping the game when forced to replay, I decided to simplify the process.

https://preview.redd.it/kylwaiv3j9bh1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1feafe20b51369ffee1dd0de1693aacdb120a2f

  1. I reworked the existing levels. I made them almost completely traversable in all directions: Start <=> Waypoints <=> End.
  2. I also reworked the save system. I added autosaves** of the player's coordinates at key* locations. Now you won't have to replay the level from the beginning, but only from the checkpoint you reach.

* - There will also be an autosave at the end of the level, although it's not needed there. This is intended to make it impossible to determine whether the level exit is real or fake.

** - manual saving is not planned.

PS. I'll just leave this here:

Оказуалился.

Ранее принцип прохождения уровней был заимствован у NES (Dendy) и Sega MD. То есть если потрачено, то начни игру (уровень) сначала. Но современному игроку подобное тяжеловато и чтобы он не дропнул игру при вынужденном повторном прохождении было решено упростить задачу.

  1. Переделал созданные уровни. Сделал почти полностью проходимыми во все стороны. Начало <=> Промежуточные точки <=> Конец.
  2. И переработал систему сохранений. В ключевых* местах сделал автосейв** координат игрока. Теперь не нужно будет проходить уровень заново от начала. А только от достигнутого чекпоинта.

* - в конце уровня тоже будет автосейв, хоть он там и не нужен. Намерено, чтобы нельзя было определить настоящий ли выход с уровня или фейковый.
** - ручное сохранение не планируется.

Easter egg or something more?

Around the time Steam Next Fest began, a "Find it" news item appeared on the "K2-18b: Legacy" game page.

Apparently, the developer is hinting at something hidden behind the question mark in the screenshot. It's located between the NPCs in the second level of the game's free demo.

Привет! Почти в одиночку делаю свою первую игру.

K2-18b: Legacy — это атмосферный симулятор ходьбы от третьего лица в недалёком будущем.

Вы — исследователь, выживший после неудачной высадки на экзопланете K2-18b.

Игрока ждут сложные лабиринты, простые головоломки, 9 основных уровней + несколько секретных. Пасхалки и отсылки — на каждом шагу.

Будет интересный сюжет, атмосферные локации и авторская музыка (смесь ambient, techno и synthwave).

Релиз — осенью 2026.

Если будет фидбек — постараюсь ответить на все вопросы.

Демоверсия уже в Steam. Я там кое-что спрятал.

K2-18b: Legacy now is 99 wishlists

Hi!

I'm almost single-handedly creating a game in UE5. It's a third-person walking simulator.

The player will explore the exoplanet K2-18b in the relatively near future. Complex labyrinths will feature simple puzzles. In addition to the main nine levels, there will be several secret ones. Easter eggs and references will be found in every level. I promise an engaging story, atmospheric locations, and original music (a mix of ambient, techno, and synthwave).

I'm sharing a few new screenshots.

The trailer and demo are now available on Steam. Can you find the yellow sphere?

As soon as I registered as a Steam developer, I gained access to some features, including the events calendar. Some might say this calendar is already publicly available, but that's not my point.

Developers with a verified and published game store page could apply for Steam Next Fest until April 27th. I tried to get the demo out before that date, and I did. I tested it on several devices of varying performance, not only on Windows, but even on Linux (+Proton). And it's live!

This post is an invitation to play the demo and try to find A/L/L hidden Easter eggs.
