good news: endless generation of multiple ships is possible, as is progression with travel

bad news: crossing a gap for five boring minutes is unacceptable

possible solution: no more spaceships? switch to endless terrain?

*it's 2am, do you know where your O R B is?*

in serious news, the book progress continues but in the meantime, i figured i'd gamejam some horror during spooky season.

main menu controls work now. work on the new game start of setting the factions properties can begin now. after that, i can plug that info into the world generation, and we're off into gameplay.

new playermodel format, gen system upgraded with more options and roughly triple the ship size. enemy and item spawning to follow alongside with getting all ship parts to ideally generate

minor progress on the new procgen code

first item: more new enemies for the roster.

second item: level generation is now able to give the ship a stable hull. this took a while because as it turns out the math to determine "outside edge of the ship" was a bit more complex then first intended.

testing the mood and ambience of things as i get player control systems wired into the text frontend.

expanding ship hull generation to include some hullplating over the current gaps. WIP, and there's gaps in the coverage but those are getting patched

new HUD and player test. endless terrain generation works in a basic test. exact tone of the world and setting is being refined more
