GDC: A Short Hike Postmortem

The GDC team has recently shared a 2020 Virtual Talk with Adam Robinson-Yu talking about the development of his project. Originally, he decided to put a major project on the back burner in favor of a new prototype (A Short Hike). The developer talked about his thought process, design process, the game's world and more. 

The game is all about hiking, climbing, and soaring through the peaceful mountainside landscapes of Hawk Peak Provincial Park. Players follow the marked trails or explore the backcountry trying to make it to the summit.

A Short Hike allows you to explore the island any way you want featuring a ton of hidden treasures for you to collect and reach new heights.
