Award Nomination + Demo Progress – Things Are Getting Real

Hello, explorers! Enchanted Crafts Studios (ECS) here, bringing some exiting updates today!

✨ What’s New

•  RGA (Romanian Games Awards) Nomination — May 9, 2025
  Drunkonauts has been nominated for Best Upcoming Romanian Game at the Romanian Game Awards! Together with Nebula Developers Lab, we’ll be attending the gala on June 3rd. You can also catch part of the ECS team at Dev.Play on June 2–3.

• Top community notes so far:
  •  "Lighting felt flat across maps"-> New lighting setups + better shadows on all maps
  • “Hard to hear when I fall off the map” -> Fall sounds are now in place (gravity has a voice!)
  • “Maps are too silent” -> Ambient VFXs and audio added for more atmosphere
  • "Jetpack felt off sometimes”-> Thrust logic refined for smoother, more consistent behavior

🔨 What We’re Building Next

• Progress on the Official Steam Demo
  • Balancing punch cooldown for both keyboard and controller
  • Making it harder to knock down yourself (unless that’s your thing)
  • Astronauts now stand more upright (less awkward crouching)
• Fix for jetpack not working after first death
