New game from CrossCode devs announced
Holy shit, this looks really good. I never finished CrossCode, but from what I played it was also really good, and this looks even better!

The art looks so much improved here. I just hope the puzzles are more than just ricochet tests; CrossCode got old because it was so overdependent on shot angles for its puzzles. You're not alone in having not finished it. I had to resort to watching a no-commentary longplay.
Ohh that looks so good. The full 3D world will do wonders for the environmental puzzles that were often so confusing to navigate in CrossCode. Assuming they have them in this game too.
I neeeeeeed it. This looks a lot like CrossCode but refined. It has all the puzzles and scenery and build trees and I want to play it now
I hope there will be native Linux support, even if it comes a few years after it is released. CrossCode is supported on various platforms, and it even has a web version for its demo.
Jesus Christ, the character model and it’s movement are so fluid and well done. Game looks sick.
Fun fact: they spent quite a while working on a segmented 3D animation system for all the sprites. Every sprite is split up into segments, and then those segments are positioned in 3D space depending on the camera angle. They can even independently move each part of a character, like a leg, without having to create an entirely new sprite just for one frame.
This is 3 years old at this point, but this should give a good idea of how the new animation system works!
