Ingression News

Hey everyone,

Creating Ingression has been the most thrilling and demanding adventure of my life. For over a year, I've poured my heart and soul into shaping this challenging and mind-bending precision platformer, where each jump is a calculated risk and every portal leads to new trials.

I spent countless late nights coding, refining, and testing every element of the game. There were moments of frustration when bugs seemed bad and doubts crept in about my ability to see it through alone.

For me, Ingression isn't just a game; it's a milestone, a defining moment in my journey as a developer. No matter where life takes me next, I'll always cherish this project, knowing that I created something truly exceptional.

Thank you for purchasing this and sharing your thoughts about it in the reviews!

Hey-hey runners,

It's been a wild ride. Countless hours of coding, testing, and tweaking every pixel to perfection. But now, it's finally happening. My game, the one I poured my heart and soul into, is coming to life on May 3rd!

To all of you who added it to your wishlist, thank you. Your support means everything. It's been a journey of passion, frustration, and determination, but seeing it all come together is beyond words.

[h3]Also, I wanted to share some things I haven't told anyone yet![/h3]


As a player who loves 2D platformers like Celeste, who is also obsessed with Valve's Portal, I thought of how I could mix these two. I felt like what people call "portals" in 2D games are usually some basic teleportation system, skinned to look like a portal. I wanted to design portals in 2D, such that it would feel seamless like 3D games.




The biggest development problems that emerged were caused by portals. The biggest issue was how common algorithms and systems used in game development couldn't be used when you have portals that bend spacetime.
In the end, I had to implement portal versions of core systems and common algorithms which made everything interact with portals.




PORTALS. Ingression has an implementation of portals like no other 2D game ever had before. On top of that, as portals are the main focus of the game, every mechanic and level element interacts with portals to create an immersive and unique experience.



So mark your calendars, set your alarms, because on May 3rd, we're diving into a world I've crafted with love and care. Let's make this release one to remember!
