Spatial Dip (demo)
A downloadable Tech Demo for Windows and macOS
This is a tech demo for a game project I'm working on called Spatial Dip. I created a system where the player can shrink into smaller and smaller nested worlds, making an apparently small play area into a massive open world!
You can see something neat, shrink down into it, see another small detail, and continue shrinking down into smaller and smaller nested worlds.
The controls are a little clunky as I continue to nail down the gameplay and they currently include some test operations:
WASD + Mouse
Shrink Mechanic 1
Left click on the ground to place a beacon, walk towards it to shrink.
Place a beacon within another's inner circle to create a deeper beacon.
Z removes last placed beacon.
T removes all placed beacons.
*This mechanic is disabled when in range of non player-placed beacons
Shrink Mechanic 2
Hold shift to shrink, release shift over an equalizer station to offload your scale.
Start pressing shift over an equalizer station, look away, and release to retrieve your scale.
*This system currently has some undesired effects when used with placed beacons
Right click sends out a ball (to testing beacon scaling for non-player objects)

Really good concept! would make for an incredible puzzle game!!!
Woah, this is really cool, I love the idea! I could definitely see a really good game coming out of this. It sort of reminds me of Superliminal in a way, playing around with size and perspective. I'd love to see where it goes!
Gnarly concept, reminds me of that "ant on a rubber rope" paradox. Excited to see what you do with it!
