#1 First Devlog and Improved Graphics

Hello there, and welcome to the first devlog of our yet-to-be-named game! Let's start off by giving a basic overview:

Here, you steer a paper boat through various obstacles and try to gain more points so that you can upgrade your boat and buy power-ups to help you. Our goal here is to provide a relaxing experience that you can enjoy in your bed or during commute.

The game is being developed following an iterative process: we build something, improve upon it, let it rest for a while, improve again and so forth, until it is done to a certain level of quality. We initially started off with very bare-bones art:

After a few days of work, you can see it looks a lot better:

There's still some work to be done here but things are slowly starting to come together. Controls are more intuitive now, the gameplay is smoother, and the game still runs at 60fps on our mid-range smartphones. We are currently working on finishing the first level and laying the groundwork for the rest of the game. In future devlogs, we'll go into a little more detail about various things: our plans for the game, what goes into making a level, what features we plan on implementing and other cool stuff.

We hope you'll join us in this journey, as we push forward for an alpha in a couple months. Until next time!
