Time Rifters Microsite & Completed Clone Room

It's definitely been a busy couple of weeks.

We recently launched a Time Rifters microsite at TimeRifters.net. The new site combines the latest game information, screenshots, trailers, demo links and press articles into one place.

The driving factor for the clone-room redesign was making the weapon selection and shop more intuitive. The new weapon selection area and upgrades shop have been added, finishing the clone room re-design.

 
With the clone room complete, our focus has turned to integrating Time Rifters with Steam Leaderboards.

Time Rifters Clone Room Re-Design

For easier navigation we always try to have the player moving forward, which also has the added bonus of being more comfortable in VR (less turning). Because of this we have re-designed the clone room so the shop and exit are both located directly in front of the spawn area.


We both really liked the skylight in the current clone room so we decided to make it a focal point in the new design. The new giant skylight provides some natural light, plus it gave us the ability to add additional features like hanging leaves and light shafts which are great in VR.
