• Behind The Scenes Update - 26 September 2020

  Here’s a look at some cool things being worked on. Koala Art The koala characters are coming along nicely, having the animations implemented. Angler Fish Swimming Anglerfish now have the ability to swim! New Font We’ve updated the font being used - to one that has much higher readability. We’re simplifying the presentation of the text moving away from the randomized per character colour and sticking with a more consistent and less prominent shadow colour. Kicking Its always fun to be able to give each other a little nudge. We’re kicking ourselves we didn’t do this sooner. Hand Holding Sometimes trying to be in sync is a little hard. Grab hold and move together, or reluctantly be dragged into the void. Hand holding will allow characters to join hands and move like they are one under single control, but feel free to break away at any point. Stay Up to Date Come join us on Facebook Tweet t…

• Hey, it’s been a while - 4 August 2020

  We’ve been pretty quiet for some time and are very sorry about that. We’re going to rectify that by getting back on the communications and keeping everyone up to date. We still really want to deliver this game. A lot of things have changed while we’ve been working on Lanterns, for example, when we started we didn’t all have full time jobs, we do now. Juggling work, life stuff and trying to finish a fully fledged game is tricky, but we are still tinkering away to make sure Lanterns gets out the door and is super enjoyable. Hopefully this little update gives a glimpse into what we’re working with. Any other challenges? We had some challenges locking down our art direction but have rejigged some of the vision and are pushing forward with new assets to bring the game to life. We’re a bit behind where we want to be, however the team has been flexible and is moving forward. Some of the team a…

• Lanterns Update v0.0.4 - 24 March 2018

  In this fortnightly update: { Respawn Overhaul - Checkpoint Respawning System We’ve changed how respawning works.

Hopefully if you encounter any issues, or have suggestions, this will help identify which content you can direct your feedback to. Added Individual UI Player Death count - in the pause menu.
