Midnight Raider Tech Demo Released! - Midnight Raider by Lumi

I'm excited to announce that the tech demo for Midnight Raider is available for download! Since the game has been taking some time to develop, I thought it might be fun to give a sneak peek so that yo...

@lumi the character seems to randomly stop moving for a split second, or sometimes roll with no obvious input (i guess this could be tied to the performance issues the intro talks about?)

also, the location options in the system menu lead to broken states, which is more confusing than helpful imho, i don't know if you've perhaps forgotten they were in

otherwise this looks great!

@Claire Oh thanks for noting the issues you are running into. It may be performance for the player pausing, but unsure about the roll.

The options in the system menu were put there to quickly jump to two other areas quickly without having to go through the intro again. I can see how this could break the game when trying it out. It won't be there in the final game, but just for demonstration purposes. I'll take a closer look! Thanks!

@lumi oh man, I'm so sad I didn't bring my Playdate along to my vacation. Will definitely give it a try once I'm back, I've had Midnight Rider in my waitlist for a while!
@lumi so I finally had access to my Playdate and boy, the tech demo is **beautiful**. Can't wait to play more, you really have a wonderful base for the game!
