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
Next up
despite an entire backbone rewiring, we are so back.

new level design, new gameplay changes, and now a new playermodel
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.
new procgen code testing, day 2
expanding ship hull generation to include some hullplating over the current gaps. WIP, and there's gaps in the coverage but those are getting patched
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
*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.
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.
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.
