We're slowly building out our level! Check out an early draft of the new map, and some new gameplay features!

From a humble two-week prototype to the exciting first alpha-build, my second month of development is a wrap! I gained lots of insights from this second round of playtesting, where players explore the shift to an 'open-world' metroidvania play-style. See also my artistic experimentation with a hand-drawn aesthetic, and get a glimpse of early concepts and the direction I'm heading.

Check out our latest prototype, 'Pippin's Mysterious Garden', previously known as 'Bunny Maze'. Play as little Pippin and explore a garden full of mystery while helping its inhabitants seek refuge from invading foxes.

So many changes have happened in just one month! From quitting a part-time job, to becoming a business owner, and making some major design changes to the game — it's wild to think that only a month has gone by!

Wild Lantern Studio announces their prototype game, Bunny Maze, is officially in development. The game has evolved from a maze-like structure to an open-world experience with a focus on player experience and mechanics. Multiple rounds of playtesting are planned, and the studio aims to create a page on Steam by the end of May.

With a focus on blending various RPG genres with 2D platform mechanics and survival elements, Wild Lantern Studio's first prototype features a cute bunny exploring a maze with light combat mechanics.
