Tutorial, pillar, and environment updates

Pillar progression system

I added a new central pillar structure with 4 glyph unlock slots. The pillar is intended to become a major progression hub and magical focal point within the world.

Onboarding and early progression

I’ve been prototyping a more structured onboarding/tutorial sequence designed to teach the transmute, grab, and building mechanics naturally through gameplay and world interactions. The environment is rough, blocked out in cubes mostly, but it is a good exploration of what the onboarding process might look like for new players. The intent is that this would be the area a player would start in and would work their way through it before entering the main area, being guided to unlock their first glyph and craft their first tool in the process.

Procedural cliff generation

I’ve started building a procedural cliff mesh generation system for creating larger, more dramatic terrain formations without hand-modelling everything individually.

Glyph improvements

Glyph visuals have been updated and refined alongside a number of interaction improvements.

Glyphs can now be grabbed, thrown, toggled while held, and generally feel much better to use as a PC player.
