RTG - The Ray-Traced Game: arcade/puzzle game in development which uses 'software ray-tracing' technology.

Hi All!

New RTG animations after a break. They're showcasing one new game element: "the charged light shooter".


With it, you can turn switches or call elevators on distance, however you must reach given switch or elevator by shooting the 'light bullet'. And here's the catch. Most of the time, it's not straightforward how to reach an elevator you need to call or a switch you need to switch. :)

'Light bullet' after shooting is bouncing from all walls, floors, ceilings, boxes, etc.. You can point your shot and set its initial shoot velocity. There's some dampening, so it will not fly and bounce to infinity. You'll have to check the environment around you and most of the time you'll have to also modify it, so you'll be able to reach your target by shooting light bullet.

So, there's puzzle element to it (how to reach that damn switch?) but also semi-arcade element as with all that bouncing, it's like playing pool ( or maybe some weird ray-traced version of Angry birds ), as you'll need to be precise at aiming and setting right speed for your bullet.

Apart of that, a big chunk of levels built around that mechanics is done (8 levels in total from the last update).

RTG Flashback - April 2021 Test level for testing my collision system. Game mechanics where player needs to manipulate with boxes in order to solve puzzles is essential in RTG, thus simple collision system was needed. Here it is. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG

RTG Dev Flashback - July 2022 "Deadly bouncing lights" was the last gameplay mechanics I added to the game. They opened possibilities of more action levels although I invented many interesting puzzles involving them as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG

RTG Flashback - Nov 2021 #2 Otro ejemplo de nivel con tirador de luces cargadas. Más o menos desde este nivel el juego se vuelve realmente desafiante (después de unos 20-30 niveles con puzzles bastante ligeros). https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG/

RTG Dev Flashback - Nov '21 #2 Another level with "charged light shooters". I can say, that's around this level when game's difficulty spikes up. After 20-30 levels of quite light puzzles, the game will start challenging even skilled puzzle players.

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.

Dev Flashback - Jan '22 Another flashback! In January 2022, I had majority of puzzles already done. Despite that, big amount of work was still before me (80/20 rule). In animation you can see one of later levels in the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG

RTG Flashback - Luces Mortales #2 Un ejemplo donde "luces mortales cargadas" son usadas no sólo como elementos de acción, sino también como elementos puzzle. Hay que buscar solución como bloquearlas para vencer un nivel. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG

RTG Dev Flashback - Nov '21 Charged light shooters! Mechanics, which added "pool" or "billiards" gameplay. Lot of fun with that. Moreover, this effect of environment illumination is for free thanks to game's engine, so why not use it?
