The People Demo Update is here!
[p]Hello everyone,
[/p][p]First off, a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who played the High Above demo and shared your thoughts and suggestions with me. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful. I’ve squashed bugs, smoothed out issues, and implemented several of your ideas. All the feedback has been great and I truly appreciate your support!
[/p][p]Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on a major new feature: characters. I wanted the scenes you create to feel a bit more alive and perhaps a bit more personal. With this update, you will see visitors arriving on your rooftops with unique wishes for you to fulfill. Your goal? Make them happy through thoughtful building and decorating. Let’s dive into the details of what’s new.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Characters & Puzzle Mechanics[/p][p]
This update introduces a whole new gameplay layer to High Above. You will now see rooftop visitors popping over, each with their own personality, preferences, and little quirks. These characters aren’t just decorative; they bring a light layer of puzzle mechanics to your rooftop world.[/p][p][/p][p]Each visitor arrives with a wishlist of items and experiences they hope to find. For example, Grandma might crave a quiet reading nook with books and a comfy chair, while another character might dream of stargazing with a telescope or soaking in a jacuzzi. Your job is to interpret their desires and place the right props to meet their needs. [/p][p][/p][carousel]![]()

[/carousel][p]Characters can be placed standing or seated, on sofas, chairs, or wherever feels right for your rooftop vibe. As you decorate and fulfill their requests, you’ll see their satisfaction level rise, giving you feedback on how well you’re tuning into their wishes.[/p][p][/p][p]Completing tasks earns you rewards. For now, these are familiar favorites like the telescope, jacuzzi, and laptop, but I will add new unlockables in future updates. Think of it as a gentle loop of curiosity, creativity, and cozy progression.[/p][p][/p][p]Apart from introducing characters, I’ve also added some camera and quality-of-life improvements. [/p][p][/p][p]Camera Improvements[/p][p]This update also introduces a new Perspective Camera Mode and a Camera Reset feature to help you navigate your rooftops more smoothly.[/p][p]
Bug Fixes and Visual Tweaks[/p][p]I’ve addressed minor bugs, resolved texture clipping issues, and adjusted prop sizes and proportions for a more polished look.[/p][p]

[/p][p][/p][p]Until next time,[/p][p][/p][p]Alex[/p][p]
