Transliminal: Beyond The Backrooms - Spatial Quotient
Finally, Transliminal has some new levels to explore as well as some long needed fixes.
The second Expanding Levels Update allows players to discover and explore the Level One Parking Garages (The Habitable Zone) and solve a puzzle and enter a prototype Caves level.
And, of course, Victor is back with more lines to comment on the new stuff.
Changes have also been made to allow faster progression through certain levels and event sequences.
The following changes have been made to Transliminal Version 0.0.98493 alpha:
New Additions
Fixes
This update is way overdue. And not nearly as content rich as I expected it to be.
This is what I get for trying to design two procedurally generated levels at the same time, while also having stuff happen in my life.
The last three months have been very busy. I moved into a new house, was seriously ill, and suffered many technical difficulties.
But I'm all settled in, back on schedule, and feeling great about the future of Transliminal.
Especially thanks to those who have shown extra support and helped the development of the game by subscribing to the alpha test tier on Patreon.
Also, if anyone wants to Alpha Test early versions that's how you do it.
I hope everyone enjoys the new levels.
Next up: I'm excited to be introducing some crazy new entities.
Until then,
Get lost
