Hard at it tonight setting up methods and events to handle the states of crops. with these up and running a crops state can be set through tool interaction, harvesting and the time manager which will process tiledata when the player sleeps, wipe the watered state. set the crops health and growth stage. When you walk into a map the game will run a processing method to get all crop tiles to match their state in the database. editing a tile directly changes the tiles database entry which can then be saved and loaded when the game is re opened
Next up
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.
I know it has been a while since the last update, but life got in the way. Here we can see how buttons can be customized and given functionality through the event system. More to come as the event system grows.
Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)
Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)
(Mines and menus preview build)
Available for testing now
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
