Next up
player UI is coming together.
despite an entire backbone rewiring, we are so back.
crowdfunding this project: https://www.subscribestar.com/err-arachnica
minor progress on the new procgen code
limited working code for painting planets, not all the sections work right just yet, sadly.
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.
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?
new HUD and player test. endless terrain generation works in a basic test. exact tone of the world and setting is being refined more
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
the UI states work now.
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
