games are art. some art is planned, and other art forms by itself on the drawing board.
this wont be the final version but here's the tech testing that lead to this point.
Next up
the star generation is running once again finally. sorry it took a year but the game engine switchover took a while and for the engine itself to update some things.
new procgen code testing, day 2
good news: endless generation of multiple ships is possible, as is progression with travel
bad news: crossing a gap for five boring minutes is unacceptable
possible solution: no more spaceships? switch to endless terrain?
first item: more new enemies for the roster.
second item: level generation is now able to give the ship a stable hull. this took a while because as it turns out the math to determine "outside edge of the ship" was a bit more complex then first intended.
some weaknesses being addressed and features added
-games not spooky enough yet
-too one note if its the same type of ship over and over again
-out of map boundaries and can i make the level endless?
-level variety still too dry and empty
limited working code for painting planets, not all the sections work right just yet, sadly.
player UI is coming together.
minor progress on the new procgen code
new level design, new gameplay changes, and now a new playermodel
new playermodel format, gen system upgraded with more options and roughly triple the ship size. enemy and item spawning to follow alongside with getting all ship parts to ideally generate
