Poll question: decide our next crop


It's been a few days since the last dev log Now that theres something new to be shown off its the perfect time for the next. After a good few hours trawling through code, changing datatypes and references we now have everything needed for persistant crops. As in you plant it, and it will still be there when you go back. As we inch closer to our first basic demo there is still plenty more that needs adding. such as the change of days and the tool menu.

I'm currently working on a new game with a team of people. Here's a mannequin being assaulted for test purposes. Gotta do what you gotta do for your damage systems.

Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.

Finally, I've had some time to do some more work on the recode. There is hardly anything to see except for this utilitarian clock which can be swapped to 12 and 24 hours in settings. The lighting again changes through the day too.

Lightweight object recoloring test. This test is looking at coloring defined areas with as little excess data as possible and uses NO mask maps, alternate materials and does not break object batching (won't melt the PC when you have hundreds of swatches!)

Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P

Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.

Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)

Asking the big questions today. We won't support changing your characters outfit or gender but you can give our beloved testguy a name. Character customization will come later, as it will take planning to get it as versatile as we want at the moment.

I know updates have been slow but there really isn't much to talk about when you're just tidying up existing code. We're looking at updating the art style to be just that bit nicer. The crop system working with an overhaul to interactions with tools.
