Crop tiles - how do they work?


Hard at it tonight setting up methods and events to handle the states of crops. with these up and running a crops state can be set through tool interaction, harvesting and the time manager which will process tiledata when the player sleeps, wipe the watered state. set the crops health and growth stage. When you walk into a map the game will run a processing method to get all crop tiles to match their state in the database. editing a tile directly changes the tiles database entry which can then be saved and loaded when the game is re opened

VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?

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!)

Tall walls are all modeled and intergrated into the engine and work seamlessly with the previous two wall styles. actual wall skins for this set are incoming. A new test build featuring these changes will follow up soon.

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. :)

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.

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

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.
