This update affects Gearplexed Demo only.I always like to save the best for last, but on average people have been quitting the demo after about 15 minutes, which is before you get to any of the good stuff that really makes Gearplexed what it is.

You will collect all the gears on that layer for quick and p...

The last devlog wrapped up the core design of Gearplexed, so now what? I haven’t updated for a while, and I’m told I need to provide some type of regular update so people know the developer wasn’t squished by a meteorite or something. (I wasn’t, by the way)For this short devlog I’m going to talk a little about a design feature that, if I did my job right, nobody will notice, including the people t...

It is now fixed.If you experience any bugs please report them in the "Bugs and Technical Issues" subforum of the community hub here:

For a time, I actually considered, and trained for a career in movie special effects, but ultimately decided on a different path for career stability. However, keeping CG a hobby purely on its own was somewhat dif...
