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
Next up
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.
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.
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.
Opinions on a new graphics style?
Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
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.
Buttons jump scare test shot
Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
