I decided to redesign the main player avatar.

Meet M4U5 the K.A.T (Kernel Assault Trojan), the reluctant hero of #Mausitron.

Three views (front, left, in-between front and left) of the new player avatar design. It's a flattened TV shaped head with small antennae reminiscent of cat ears on top of a elliptical cylinder body, resting on an inverted cone for its base.

So, my testing victim was complaining about the #Mausitron Grapple sub-game being a bit tricky to understand at first. So, I graciously decided to add some tutorials.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

It turns out that the #Mausitron tunnel sub-game is a lot more fun than I expected, so I turned it into an endless mode.

I've been working on a #Mausitron minigame for the first time you take a particular transporter route between sectors.

I took this screenshot while doing some depth buffer diagnostics for #Mausitron.

"Welcome to Silent Mausitron"

Spooky.

"Welcome to Silent Maustron" Rendering the depth buffer of Mausitron looks like a fog shrouded version of the level, very reminiscent of the Silent Hill look.

I'm adding "data caches" (unless I can think of a better name) to #mausitron that need to be unlocked via yet another minigame to get various goodies.

This unlock minigame was my original prototype for the grapple game. I think it's better this way though.

#Mausitron is starting to look like an actual game!

Here's a play-through of the (admittedly easy) Sector 1.

I've got the basics of the Data Recovery (fishing) minigame sorted. All games should have a fishing minigame!

I definitely have to tone down the electric arcing sound effect, but I've got the visuals pretty much where I want them.

There we go. This one looks less like the robot is pissing in the pool.

So, I'm working on a specific feature and... I think I'm going back to the drawing board with this one.

It looks like the bloody robot is pissing into the water!

I decided to see what the #mausitron engine could handle and played around with the camera positioning a bit. Not really practical for play, but I think it looks cool.

It's a bit long at twenty minutes, but I've put together a rough playthrough video of the first sector of #Mausitron. Feel free to have a skim through and let me know what you think.
