Day/night lighting


So here we have the first of the newly implemented features. actual day and night which was pretty easy to implement in the end. A switch of the sprite material to recieve light then I could tie the lighting in with the changes of the clock.

Right now Ive got one method that triggers when the clock updates at a specific time which runs a switch statment and uses the current hour and an array containing colour and brightness values to alter the light. The light defaults to a single value for all indoor scenes and the method is called again when exiting.

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.

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.

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.

The red sock continues his wandering of the multiverse for an object of great power. Taking on a fellow traveller on his way.

Opinions on a new graphics style?

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.
