Fynn & me just made some new maps for FALLSTRUKTUR!

they're pretty experimental, but it's very interesting to explore the possibility space of this little game :))

I made a map for this! I've never done anything in 3d, it was a fun process and im really happy with the result :)

The game is great, definitely give it a try.

Initial design exploration for FALLSTRUKTUR began at the start of this year. It was quite a long journey to arrive at something that feels relatively so simple in the end.

I'm very happy to see this finally out in the world - hope you enjoy!

we're going to release our little & free 3D game soon!

I spent all of June on it, learning trenchbroom and 3D level design in general & am very excited to see how people interact with this space we've built :)))

Fair enough haha, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has trouble getting IK working well 😅

Fynn Levy @fakefrogsonly.bsky.social · Jul 25

Looks great! I was wondering if you knew of any particularly good resources for learning how to do this type of IK? :)

Totally agree. I was hoping for the sequel to have even less emphasis on combat rather than more.

Death Stranding 2, like the first game, allows you to just hold the triggers and almost completely ignore the terrain you are walking across with minimal drawbacks.

I really do not understand why the developers decided to undermine their otherwise great walking and balancing mechanics like this!
