Studio Ganzheit

Building the boss was so draining, but after about a day of rest, getting into assembly and working through feedback put me back into my usual pace. Two players have been incredibly helpful — sending gameplay footage and filing a ton of bug reports. The direct fixes help a lot, but what’s even more valuable is the inspiration. Watching gameplay footage especially — seeing how a player reacts at a certain point makes me think, “ah, that’s what they’re feeling here, so I should change it like this.” Those moments usually share two traits: I already knew something was off but couldn’t figure out how to fix it, and the solution ends up being simple, not complex. Still need to see how the changes play out, but thanks to these players, the game got meaningfully better. Truly grateful.

Alongside that, I’m replacing placeholders and working through overall polish. I reworked the 350 Archetype server room as shown above. Beyond that, I’m going through the earlier sections — fixing lighting, filling in empty spots, tightening up loose areas. Once the environment polish is in a good place, I’ll move into story revisions.
