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

Buttons ver 2- jumpscare Test
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.
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.
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.
Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
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 customization: How and why bother? (expand)
Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
I know it has been a while since the last update, but life got in the way. Here we can see how buttons can be customized and given functionality through the event system. More to come as the event system grows.
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.
