Hi everyone! 💛

ILA is part of the Wholesome Steam Event, and starting tomorrow, it’ll also be featured in the Indie Arena Booth Event at Gamescom! That means the demo will be available until August 26th!


We've got some new updates based on your feedback in this demo! Here’s what’s new:

[h2]Latest Demo Updates:[/h2]

[h3]1. Improved Camera:[/h3]

- We've fixed the clipping issue.
- If an object or structure blocks Ila, voila! A little cutout appears so you can see clearly.
- We also added a distance view option and first-person mode for platforms. Plus, we gave the blur effect a nice polish!




[h3]2. Expanded Ila’s Story:[/h3]

Now you can interact with objects and uncover more about what Ila is up to on this enchanted island.



[h3]3. Landmarks:[/h3]

It's now easier to find your way around the world.



[h3]4. Glide Enhancement:[/h3]

When you unlock the broom upgrade, you’ll be able to glide longer by holding down the glide button. No more sudden nosedives!



[h3]5. Hat with a Life of Its Own![/h3]

We’ve added physics to Ila's hat and improved the existing ones. Now her hat moves like it has its own personality! (And we snuck in some extra art details here and there. 🤗


We'll also be at Gamescom with a physical ILA booth in the Indie Arena Booth area! (HALL 10.2, F010G - E019) If you're around, stop by to say hi or try out the game with us. We’d love to see you!

Thanks a million for all your support 💜

And as always, any feedback is more than welcome 😄

Lots of Love,
