Current Goal: Showcase Momento at GDC and keep polishing our current build

Hey everyone! How are you all doing? March is going to be very busy for us, but first things first:

Happy Birthday, Momento! 🎉🎉🎉

It’s been almost a year since we first came up with the idea of Momento and we’ve come so far in a year. Thank you for your continued support and interest in our cozy little game! (Also it’s Issy’s birthday in less than a week too! Happy birthday, Issy - I don’t know how you’re already one year old but it feels like it’s been an entire lifetime!)

Momento will also be part of the Women Led Games Showcase on March 8-10! Celebrate International Women’s Day with us by watching the live show on Twitch or Youtube on March 8th 5PM EST!

I (Jess) was selected to be part of the Future Leaders’ Delegation organised by the games section of the Australian Government - so I will be headed over to San Francisco to showcase Momento at some events during the Game Developers’ Conference. Jasmine and Julian will be manning the fort!

Back to the game’s progress! What’s been going on?

• Testing how best to structure our naming conventions so we don’t have to redo it a million times
  
• Freshening up our pitch deck for GDC
  
• Lining up meetings, and meetings, and more meetings…
  
• Polishing the latest prototype build
  
• Fleshing out the narrative branches and story item descriptions
  
• Exploring gameplay mechanics for choosing key objects

What the team has been up to:

Jasmine

• More Interval Puzzle art
  
• Polishing main rooms
  
• Conceptualizing GUI elements
  
• Streamlining the asset export process
  
• Building Momento’s visual art guide for future-proofing

Julian

• Importing all the new assets into the current build
  
• Building a dynamic tutorial sequence
  
• Implementing a basic level transition system
  
• Building tools from scratch to streamline importing assets into Unity
  
• Polishing and bug fixing on the GDC build

Jess

• Pre-GDC preparations
  
• Mentorship and networking as part of the Future Leader’s Delegation
  
• Creating more story items and objects
  
• Writing item descriptions
  
• Conceptualizing gameplay mechanics that better supports the story

Thank you so much for your support and interest in Momento! We can’t wait to show you more soon!

Cheers,
Jess and the Momento Team 💖

Hello Riders,

quick update to integrate Unity Cloud crash reporting.

Thanks!

Welcome to another developer post, we want to assure you that we are working very hard on the game. Each new week brings many changes and improvements.




Side missions have been carefully crafted to offer players a range of engaging challenges, Each mission offers unique objectives, ensuring that players are constantly immersed in dynamic gameplay experiences. These will allow you to earn additional funds, which you will allocate, for example, to improve your character's skills or buy more truck customizations. Depending on the area you are in, they will be different. Of course, if you do not want to perform them, no one will force you to do so, however, you will escape quick earnings and opportunities to unlock various surprises. The missions will be divided into those in which you will transport various goods and those in which there will be something to repair.




We've expanded the game map with new locations, enriching the world of Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths with even more content to explore and discover. New locations are filled with opportunities for adventure and exploring. Players will, uncover secrets, and encounter fresh challenges as they navigate the expanded map. We try to fill all the spaces on the fly, so that everything is coherent and tells an interesting story of the area and the resident population. From caves through buildings, abandoned buildings or even beautiful sinkholes or canyons. All this to make sure that at every step you take while driving through the wilderness, you will find something that can interest you and make you remember.




We're also actively working on updating the talent tree system, introducing new skills and abilities that will allow players to further customize their gameplay experience and tailor their characters to their preferred play style. These perks will provide various benefits - higher earnings from missions, less wear and tear on spare parts, the ability to recover additional parts from repairs, or even reduce damage to the truck while driving like a maniac. We are constantly testing and adapting them to the game, so that they are not too powerful but give significant advantages.





We've taken immersion to the next level by introducing a plethora of new sounds scattered throughout the game maps. As you traverse the dense jungles, prepare to be enveloped by the diverse array of wildlife calls and insect chirps echoing through the foliage. Each rustle of leaves and distant animal call adds to the ambiance, enhancing the sense of realism as you navigate through the vibrant jungle terrain.

Venture into the lofty heights of the mountainous regions, and you'll be greeted by the haunting whispers of the wind as it sweeps through the peaks. These atmospheric soundscapes transport you to the heart of the wilderness, immersing you in the majesty and grandeur of Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths diverse landscapes.

Furthermore, we've meticulously curated the soundscape of each environment to reflect its unique characteristics and atmosphere. From the tranquil babbling of streams in serene valleys, every sound serves to deepen your connection to the world around you. Whether you're embarking on a perilous journey through dense forests or scaling the towering peaks of mountains.





The player map interface was update to provide a sleeker and more user-friendly experience. At any point during your gameplay adventure, you can access the updated map with ease. The refreshed design boasts a simple aesthetic and improved clarity, allowing you to navigate the game world with greater precision and efficiency.

Stay tuned for more updates and keep on trucking!



Happy wrenching,
Atomic Jelly

This patch does the following:
- Updates some terrain tiles to make them prettier and a little more readable.
- Makes sure potentially important information will still get through, even though the tool tips are turned off.
- You can no longer add visitors' carts to your caravans.
- Caravans won't start leaving the area if any animal-members can't find a clear exit, which could cause bugs. You will be notified about which animal is the relevant one.

Best wishes and lots of love! <3
