Goodnight, Sunlight [prototype]
A downloadable game for Windows
A prototype for Goodnight Sunlight as it existed in 2022, a linear 3d platformer with a highly acrobatic moveset and linear stages. The stages are nothing but blockouts, and are mostly incomplete, but can offer some fun and challenges if you're into the movement.
Goodnight, Sunlight is planned instead, to release down the line as a 3D Platformer Metroidvania , as a successor to Pseudoregalia, but when that will happen is up in the air.
For now, please enjoy playing as Vezza in this prototype! I'm putting it out for Pseudo's 2 year anniversary.

Game notes-
Please note again this is an unfinished, unstable prototype, and is even still a development build in unreal. I will not be doing any bugfixes or QOL for it, what you see is what you get. I'm sorry if it doesn't work on your machine, though it is still built with UE4 so it likely has better compatibility with low end devices, though performance i cannot vouch for.
While i am not necessarily looking for real feedback on this, i'd still love to hear your thoughts or watch a video of you play, as much as it probably sucks to try and play these old unfinished levels lol.
- Controls -
Jump: A/RB ~ Space
Attack: X/LB ~ E
Dash: RT ~ Shift
Crouch: LT ~ Ctrl
by default, wall run vs wall climb(vertical) is delineated by holding the Jump button down until you make contact with the wall, which gives you wall climb. otherwise, you can only wall run horizontally.
the controls can be rebound if need be
There is a great deal of depth to be found in combing moves and pressing buttons in different states, try to find all the moves!
There are also some control options, like the quickdive, which i recommend turning on once you get to grips with things, or the perma "double jump" which is fun to mess around with.

as prototype, have potential
Just tried this, Rittz; rated and left you feedback. The demo is pretty solid! I look forward to the finished product.
I'm afraid this is the absolute peak of 3D platforming Rittz you outdid yourself with this one
Ok ok... ok THIS THIS RIGHT HERE THIS HAS POTENTIAL, MY FRIEND! IT'S SO DAMN GOOD.
Movement and character design are super clean. Loved it! I didn't mind that the movement was a lil slippery. Personally my favorite thing to do was hit those yellow gem things for the bonus jump. I could see that being used a lot more in the level design for some juicier movement. But overall a really solid prototype :D
Made an account just to leave feedback for this game.
Great movement in general altought a bit splipery at times. Mostly had issues with wallclimbing when I just wanted to wallrun. I only read now while writting this comment that you can force a wallclimb by holding the jump button, so as a sugestion, why not do the same for wallrunning whilst holding the dash button for example.
It was also kind of weird the diamonds you could bounce off of had a ring around it that made me think there was a homing attack of some sorts but just had to actually hit the object but that is just a nitpick.
Character design is fantastic and I love her animations!
Had alot of fun moving around and platforming in this game, has alot of the freedom of expression in its movement and very fun to find ways to retain momentum through well timed jumps. Hoping for more stuff like this in the future.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR A FULL GAME! <3
The movement mechanics were super solid and made the gameplay really fun!
The combination of action elements and stage design was very enjoyable, and I especially loved Level 2-1—the straightforward 3D athletic stage felt great to play.
The jump-into-slide high-speed movement felt incredibly satisfying!!!! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
This was great to play around with, and to know that you're still working on it makes me excited to see how this project and your talent has grown since! Keep up the good work!
Thanks to this prototype I can happily wait cause it's looking to be another fun one.
this shit rox bro......
The controls remind me a lot of Psuedo in a good way. Goodnight, Sunlight looks promising!
Happy 2 year anniversary!
I've played a bit on the steamdeck. Had to use proton ge, but it worked great! I love the character, and the movement feels amazing! The one thing I had problems with was getting the right angle on wall running. This may be me being bad, but I did have a but if an issue with going up the wall instead of along. I'm definitely excited about this one!
to wall run up, you have to hold down the Jump button, my attempt to help make it more intentional, but very difficult without that knowledge lol
you can change this in the options menu if you dont like the behavior, iirc
That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the reply! Sorry for never responding, I didn't get a notification about this until just now.
Pseudo’s one of my favorite platformers! And that’s really saying a lot bc I normally hate platformers 😭
Happy 2 years!✨🐐
HELL YES
