WHAT IT IS
Night Shift is the next game. A pixel platformer about an after-hours city, a runner, and the kind of levels that make you say "one more try" out loud. The concept art, the pitch and a pretty damn good name are already locked in.
WHAT'S LOCKED IN
- The pitch: tight platforming, neon city, short levels.
- The runner sprite and the city art, same ones on the front page.
- The title card: Night Shift, an after-hours adventure.
- A spot in the queue right behind AlterVault.
THE HARD PART
Nailing the jump.
In a platformer, the jump is the whole game. So before a single level gets built, the jump gets tuned until it feels perfect: how high it goes, how floaty it feels, how forgiving it is at the edge of a ledge. Get that right and the rest is level design. Check back after AlterVault ships.
