## Game Updates

### Worship The Sun

![Worship The Sun](worship-sun.jpg)
_One of the many unique and confounding puzzles in the game_

Worship The Sun is a dark, mysterious 2D puzzle-platform game with computer
science themes. It introduces the player to a rich language of puzzle elements
and challenges them to solve difficult puzzles that require experimentation,
comprehension and internalisation of the game's mechanics.

The game is built using a custom engine that sits on top of [legion][legion],
[wgpu][wgpu] and a handful of other crates. It features dynamic lighting, a
flexible particle system, bespoke collision behaviour and a Vim-inspired level
editor. The majority of game assets are hand drawn in [Procreate][procreate]
and painstakingly animated.

The game is a few months into development with a release target of late 2021.
You can read about how swimming was added to the game in [GameDev Note 1:
Taking the Plunge][plunge] which contains a sneak peek at some of the levels.
For updates and possible playtesting opportunities, follow
[@chrispatuzzo][chrispatuzzo] and a [/r/WorshipTheSunGame] subreddit.
