Animations and the state of the demo


been a few days since the last small update but were still hard at it. right now all effort is focused on getting the tool system working properly. The watering can is ready to go but menus for swapping and equipting them are not. trying to intergrate the animations for tools is also eating up alot of time too. but fear not. entire fields can be gifted functionality in minutes now and field data carries across but not the plant sprites themselves which are awaiting a quick line of code telling them to have at the plant data.

As for the state of the demo im working hard to get it ready and out there and see what peoples ideas are on it and how things could improve. As i said farming is to be the main focus so once that is ready and a few smaller things are polished we'll be ready to roll it out

Quick update on the project, Dialogue system has been rewritten from the old version of the game, functionally the same but a lot easier to use. The camera has been worked on and the inventory is being expanded with things like drag and drop.

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.

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.

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.

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

Opinions on a new graphics style?

Light menu is still undergoing it's refit, some behind the scenes code changes making it easier to edit multiple lights. A light will also toggle on/off depending on its intensity. So custom events don't need to be loaded with two different commands.

working on a new mechanic for the prototype. no need to wander over to those far away items when you can just send in your drone.

Some map progress since yesterday. some arcade cabinet props that just need some textures, tunnels had some more work put into it and the restaurant is slowly being built up.
