GN Version 5.0

- multiple levels of parallax scrolling
- lighting and particle effects
- made to look 3D, but is actually 2D
- gameplay uses 'trial and error' mechanics for puzzle platforming
- game created with 4K displays in mind
- features a dark storyline
- you have no direct control over Rusty, but guide him around using lights
- Rusty is afraid of the dark
- later parts of the game have you laying platforms, powering lifts and using various chutes located around the stage
- acquire cube-like 'brains' which are stored in Rusty's gut before being banked at various toilets around the game
- here's where you can enter your inventory
- brains are required to open certain doors
- later level features a cloning tool which allows you to create more Rustys
- game is done in terms of all the assets, the game engine and all the core gameplay mechanics
- some of those elements are still being slightly tweaked
- level design is being worked on now
- devs use their own level editor which allows them to edit elements and swap out assets on the fly
- this editor may be released to the consumer
- Wii U and 3DS versions still in the works, NX being considered
- no official word on release date yet
- hoping to get at least 20k units sold
- three main characters: Rusty, the player and a little girl who serves as an unreliable narrator
- little hints of the full story littered throughout the game
- a novel will give a more complete picture, but it won't be out until after launch
- next project will be another 2D outing and appeal to Conker fans
