Continuing on from yesterdays developments which bought consistent crops to the game comes the weather system. Now with seasons! pretty much the only reason for getting these ready was so that weather and season could be taken into account when writting the processing method that will read and edit all crops while the player sleeps. Stay tuned for video of crops in action.

Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)
Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
Opinions on a new graphics style?
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.
Asking the big questions today. We won't support changing your characters outfit or gender but you can give our beloved testguy a name. Character customization will come later, as it will take planning to get it as versatile as we want at the moment.
Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
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.
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.
