This is the last Version before the Alpha.
Yes, that's right proof_of_concept_7_9_25 is the last proof of concept Version.
With this version, next to every system I need has been completed, I even had time to upgrade to better placeholder models.
Now that the code base is finally finished, we can start making the actual Game :0
This mean the addition of actual Models, Shaders, Maps and more that aren't just placeholder models, the actual Game Loop will also finally be made!
A lot of the changes in this very last proof of concept version is very background system and Code heavy. So you might not see every change immediately. But believe me, a solid Code Base is incredibly important if we actually want to finish this Project in a timely fashion.
It's also important to me, because if I write Spaghetti Code my Computer Science Teacher will suplex me so hard that I end up in Programmer Hell....
Something I'd like to talk about is the respect system, once we're in the Alpha, the player should have the balance the advantages and disadvantages of low and high respect. The player should only have access to fabled Otherworld (yes that's still a thing that will be a part of the game) at low respect, and now has to balance the advantages of that with being hated by everyone.
There's going to be a Dev Log on my YouTube channel @Wolfcrafter_HD , so look out for that.
