Finally RocketJumpCascade v0.02 ETB2 Lava Temple Demo has released! Try out the new movement system while you explore the new lava temple rift 🔥🚀🏃‍♂️


This patch has taken me way longer than desired but finally i think its time to just ship a build and let everyone try it.
This demo will focus on the new Lava Temple map I have built. There is a way in this demo to "beat it"
I am hoping to release updates more often after this including more maps, movement tweaks, and features like speedrunning mode and power ups.

Objective: Find the portals in the LavaTemple to open a gateway to a new place

ETB2 Patch Notes (v0.02)

Reworked the movement system

The movement system now has actual acceleration and weight to it. As well as strafing and speed increase from bunnyhopping. This movement is very similar to half life/ source so let me know your thoughts on it.

- Added a sensitivity slider in pause screen
- Added graphics settings buttons in pause screen
- Added key rebinding in the pause screen
- Changed the project to use the UE5 Lumen lighting engine
- Added manual reloading (using R)
- The rift has been updated to travel to the newly added LavaTemple
- added a simple timer to the corner (more features related to speedruns will come in the future)
- implemented saving of your "hub progress" at least while the game is still running
Bug fixes

- Fixed a lot of cases where the graphics would lag when firing rockets
- Fixed a lot of accidental death occurring
- Fixed mouse not being focused properly on death (thx saint)
- Lots of lighting fixes and tweaks
- Fix 3 bugs inside the player controller
- Fixed the speedometer not grabbing the correct speed in some cases
- Updated the graphics to properly accept graphical changes while playing

Thank you to all the testers I have had on Discord. If you want to help out with more testing join us at: https://discord.gg/4hDkhMSzCv
This update is a huge step forward for the game as a lot of the underlying systems that make the game what it is are in a much better state. Future updates will focus more on adding content and improving upon whats already in the game. Let me know your thoughts over Discord

More of using the new lighting system for a new Lava Temple

Still needs a lot of tweaking but everything is look a bit smoother lately

Some more maps worked on, I will have ETB1 ready soon to try out. Putting some last minute fixes with the build settings to juice some more fps

After a lot of time in the level design trenches I also spent some time reworking the lighting . Now using UE5 lumen and it instantly changed the look of the game. I hope to have more game to play for you all soon. Thanks for hanging in there

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Heres some more screenshots of my WIP lava temple RocketJumpCascade is based a lot on bhop movement games but I always wanted it to feel a little more adventurous so I have been trying to figure out how to bring that vibe with the level design

Slowly working on some new maps so the next demo for RJC has way more interesting rifts to explore for all of you. Learning something new about unreal engine every day.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Still working on a lot of map improvements for ETB1. Yesterday i worked on rebuilding the main hub to be a bit large and more open for exploration. WIP but happy with the changes so far, next i gotta improve the lighting system
