I think I finally cracked the opening to the game!

It's a super super small intro just to prep the player before they gain control, but I've struggled with it from day 1. Very hard to get the player to know the things they need to know without annoying them or hurting the intro's atmosphere.

It's just a few tweaks of what I've posted before, but they're powerful tweaks. Main thing is letting the player select the order they recall their memories, and then adding the inciting incident memory after all 3 have been selected.

Most games just give the player character amnesia or have prologues :P


EDT: got it set up. This will work! I still need to make a fourth image for the fourth memory but I have the other three. I really like the shader I made.

I think sound could also go well. Beach sound for the beach, mountain wind for the mountain, and something something for career and discovery. Save that for a later day though.
