(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now


It's taken a bit longer, but we have the next test build ready for play. Once more these builds are not intended to represent the finish game, rather they demonstrate mechanics and new features.

Features this update include:

*Many, many bug fixes to previous farm test build

*Save systems have been expanded to three files

*Tools are now part of the players inventory

*Lighting system overhaul

*Demo shop now open for business (outside your house)

*Sell produce and earn money with the export box.

*Example NPC (Very basic and lacking unstable behaviours)

*Mine example added with 30 random floors to explore.

*Improved player physics.

As stated above this build is not representative of the complete game. Anything and everything is subject to change as we go on (especially sprites).

Find any bugs or have suggestions do let us know ;)

Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)

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.

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.

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.

Is he a... you know....

Lightweight object recoloring test. This test is looking at coloring defined areas with as little excess data as possible and uses NO mask maps, alternate materials and does not break object batching (won't melt the PC when you have hundreds of swatches!)

Celebrating pride month and all our other brothers and sisters fighting the world over for the personal freedom and rights that are still denied us. Some new menu themes that will crop up on each load up shown.

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.

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.
