Roll On The Morning (Day/Night Cycle)

With any menial job there is a habit of looking at your watch to see how long the misery will last before a brief period of escapism and being thrown back at the helm and “Pump 3 Please!” is no different:

I wanted both a real indicator of the in-game time that could be checked with a digital watch on the players arm and also a subtle day and night cycle using the windows of the fueling station.

I used a simple co-routine to count the real seconds from the start of the shift to the end and a function that converts that to a in-game time that can be displayed on a digital watch (complete with day of week) that can be toggled on and off by the player, where (currently)
1 hour = 45 seconds meaning a full 8hr shift (a round of game play) will be around ~6 minutes long.

I added a day and night cycle (technically its a 10 PM - 6 AM shift cycle) that gets darker as you start your shift at 10 pm, stays at its darkest until around 4:40 AM when the sun starts to come up and light comes rolling in through the windows

the cycle on the main customer window is turned off for now as it makes the silhouettes a little difficult to make out and in real-life this area would anyway be lit-up through the night

Did you know that today is #InternationalJazzDay? 🎷😎

No? 😯 Well, we couldn't pass up this date!

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Another house i made long time ago.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Why walk when you can jump?

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
