HARMONY VOID is back ontrack with some huge design improvements and a setting change back to outerspace proper, specifically onto smaller scale procedurally generated spaceships.

testing the mood and ambience of things as i get player control systems wired into the text frontend.

ship interior in full is coming online. this step is gonna take a lot of level design to fill in the possible results

*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.

limited working code for painting planets, not all the sections work right just yet, sadly.

ingame machines and gameplay build progressing.

main menu controls work now. work on the new game start of setting the factions properties can begin now. after that, i can plug that info into the world generation, and we're off into gameplay.

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.
