Quick look at something else that came to mind when creating the lighting system. different settings for different systems. longer nights for winter, brighter and longer days in summer. no real effect on gameplay but adds to the feel.

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.

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.

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!)

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.

(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now

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

Some map progress since yesterday. some arcade cabinet props that just need some textures, tunnels had some more work put into it and the restaurant is slowly being built up.

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.
