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.

(Mines and menus preview build)
Available for testing now
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.
Buttons jump scare test shot
Opinions on a new graphics style?
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.
Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)
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.
Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)
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!)
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.
