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
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?
*it's 2am, do you know where your O R B is?*
in serious news, the book progress continues but in the meantime, i figured i'd gamejam some horror during spooky season.
minor progress on the new procgen code
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.
player UI is coming together.
HUD test
new HUD and player test. endless terrain generation works in a basic test. exact tone of the world and setting is being refined more
...
testing the mood and ambience of things as i get player control systems wired into the text frontend.
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
