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.

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.

Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P

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.

Opinions on a new graphics style?

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.

Buttons jump scare test shot

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.

(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now

Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)

I'm currently working on a new game with a team of people. Here's a mannequin being assaulted for test purposes. Gotta do what you gotta do for your damage systems.
