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.
Next up
Finally, I've had some time to do some more work on the recode. There is hardly anything to see except for this utilitarian clock which can be swapped to 12 and 24 hours in settings. The lighting again changes through the day too.
VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?
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.
Opinions on a new graphics style?
(Mines and menus preview build)
Available for testing now
Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)
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.
Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
