The test build appears to have gone well with only one major error reported from all over the place so here's the low down on the next update. (Expand) We are also looking for feedback on further additions so do leave us a message should anything appeal.
Next planned additions and fixes include:
Bugs
Pressing the tool use button repeatedly will no longer cause the players animation state to freeze.
Watering animation speed will be slowed
Seeds will be fixed to plant the right crop. only turnips were growing in the last build.
Additions
New crop sprites and types.
New area (Town)
Shipping stats
Town shop (Get your crops)
implemented tool bar and storage.
Running
Poll
What should the next key system be? (All will be added eventually)
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.
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.
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.
(Mines and menus preview build)
Available for testing now
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'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.
Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P

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.
