Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)

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

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.

(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now

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!)

Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.

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.

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.

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.

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