I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with for the last year. Every member of Cosmic Coda brought something special to the team. We had our challenges and grew together, I couldn't be prouder of how far we've come. From a simple game jam, to DES315 then #DARE2025!

For #DARE2025 Our artist Eden Dunbar, and our Audio Designer Rebecca Taylor worked together to put together some short cutscenes to do some simple storytelling.
this example is from the very beginning of the game

Sometimes its nice to take a moment and chill after being chased for so long. #Emira appreciating the simple things in life with a couple of SMOL bots!

For #DARE2025 I worked with Cassie to implement an "input guidance" system for increased #Accessibility. An optional overlay that gives more obvious prompts to the player as to what desired inputs are during the chase sections in the game to help reduce cognitive load.

New Ability: DASH
To help with mobility and speed, Emira can now DASH. Great for when you've mistimed a long jump, or ran into a wall by mistake!
We also think Adele and Boti made it look really cool too!

Ever wonder where the Guards come from? Well wonder no more! Throughout the levels Emira will encounter Guard Charging Pods. If one activates, your best bet is to run away or try to jump over its head.

Wouldn't be Wednesday without a pic of SMOL. This time he's joined the whole Cosmic Coda team for a bit of a team photo! This team has worked together and grown so much throughout our time at Abertay and DARE. We're very lucky to have these opportunities.

We hope everyone loves the culties as much as we do! It's something about those eyes

We can't believe how quickly the 4 weeks of #DARE2025 flew by! What a wonderful opportunity it was. While we polish up to the deadline, checkout our hot housing work at cosmic-coda.itch.io/eczt
Oh and don't forget to share it with all your friends and family!!
#gamedev #indie #abertay #eczt
So the hot housing phase of #DARE2025 comes to a close. The Cosmic Coda team worked so hard throughout and I'm very proud of them and what they've achieved. We have a couple of bonus weeks to work on the game, but we're going to take a short break first.
#Abertay #gamedev #selfcare #teamwork
SMOL wants to help with the final polish this week, so he's joined our art team. It looks like he wants to give himself some shiny upgrades and take Emira's place as the hero!
comment below if you think he should be the main character!
