(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now


It's taken a bit longer, but we have the next test build ready for play. Once more these builds are not intended to represent the finish game, rather they demonstrate mechanics and new features.

Features this update include:

*Many, many bug fixes to previous farm test build

*Save systems have been expanded to three files

*Tools are now part of the players inventory

*Lighting system overhaul

*Demo shop now open for business (outside your house)

*Sell produce and earn money with the export box.

*Example NPC (Very basic and lacking unstable behaviours)

*Mine example added with 30 random floors to explore.

*Improved player physics.

As stated above this build is not representative of the complete game. Anything and everything is subject to change as we go on (especially sprites).

Find any bugs or have suggestions do let us know ;)

Opinions on a new graphics style?

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 customization: How and why bother? (expand)

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.

Buttons jump scare test shot

Celebrating pride month and all our other brothers and sisters fighting the world over for the personal freedom and rights that are still denied us. Some new menu themes that will crop up on each load up shown.

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.

Quick update on the project, Dialogue system has been rewritten from the old version of the game, functionally the same but a lot easier to use. The camera has been worked on and the inventory is being expanded with things like drag and drop.

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.
