Just thought we'd offer up a few smaller updates while working on the demo right now. As ever, animations are taking time to create and then implement. Quite an important problem has now been overcome however and that was the complexity of animation manager code which turned into a large tangled web when it got anywhere near tool animations. rather than account for each tool type at each charge level we now simply override a single set of animations with ones attached to item data now.

Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)
Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
Grey boxing the first layout for the game, But got very distracted making this arcade tunnel. But its starting to take shape at least.
Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
Opinions on a new graphics style?
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.
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.
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.
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.
(Mines and menus preview build)
Available for testing now
