NPC's seem to be on their way now. They can spawn into a scene on the right days and times and follow simple routes. They are just in need of a little finessing to get them to respond meaningfully to the player.
Next up
Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
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.
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!)
working on a new mechanic for the prototype. no need to wander over to those far away items when you can just send in your drone.
Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)
Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)
Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
Finally, I've had some time to do some more work on the recode. There is hardly anything to see except for this utilitarian clock which can be swapped to 12 and 24 hours in settings. The lighting again changes through the day too.
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.
Opinions on a new graphics style?
