Hey Space Octopus Fans,

Wow, one month already since we started this new journey. The foundational work has started and we have made good progress. Things are in bits and pieces right now, but we still brought some fun things for you.

First off, we have redone the dialog system. We researched and bought a plug-in actually. While we are proud of building everything ourselves for Game Jams, we need to be smarter with how we build things for shipping something for real. We have already seen iteration times increase greatly and have much more power to do new things.

We are building is an inventory system. One of our goals for “Do You Copy?” is to make interactions with the world make sense. We want to make systems that provide value and give more tools for the player’s disposal. Here are a couple of items we are exploring:

And here is a super early video concept for looking at your inventory:

We will be diving more into things as we continue to develop. This has been very exciting for us to pursue. Let us know how you liked our monthly update and some of things you would like to see.

Until Next Time,
