      so! in my in-development game, yarg, there's this AI character that encourages you to beat the levels. like that evil AI trope, but without the evil part*

        but in the demo i made for the february steam next fest, the AI character isn't in the game (because of Lore Reasons). instead, there's a guy speaking through an intercom that doesn't really want to be here i promise all of this is building up to the bodge

          at the end of the demo you (spoilers) leave the facility, and there's this fade-to-white effect that leads to a cutscene

            now, if you think i used some sort of trigger object to toggle this, you'd be right! but here's the thing i already had this one unused object lying around

                  oh also i did this trick twice in the demo there's these doors that open after specific things happen, and those are actually the sawblade object from the full game recycling is good for the planet!
