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.

Opinions on a new graphics style?

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.

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.

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.
