Progress Update on 0.4.9


It’s been a while!

So i though I’d share my progress on Version 0.4.9, It’s going to be the last major update (and the biggest, again) for a while, since all the updates after it will be focused on adding content to the game.

What has been done so far in 0.4.9:

  • Added support for more resolutions, e.g. no more Black-Bars at the borders when running aspect ratios other than 16:9, 0.4.9 Will have guaranteed support for 16:9 & 21:9, Although it can scale to more resolutions. (Though it’s not guaranteed they will work flawlessly)

  • Redid a bunch of menus (again), both to support resolution scaling and just make more use of the screen.

  • Added Map Editor, you will be able to create custom maps and share them with others. The map style has changed too, the maps consist of “blocks” that can be manipulated. That being said you can also play on randomly generated maps.

  • Added Weather, There are now both clouds and fog with more types to be added later, such as smog if you pollute too much!

  • Files are now stored on your PC, meaning the browser version WON’T be supported in 0.4.9 and onward!

I also wanted to add a form of Data collection, to get information such as Hardware config, Avg. FPS and so on, but that is gonna have to wait since i want this update out as fast as possible.

This is the map editor in its early state, It still has a ways to go.
At some point i want to add a way to place custom decals in it. (For amazing reasons that will be revealed at that time.)

And yes you can upload custom (Anime) Images, even GIFs to make your map more flashy.

That’s all. Update coming this year. (Hopefully before December.)

2 Days left! The update is getting closer!

Guess what...

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Successful landing

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).
