I've achieved a lot today. The protagonist and player character - Mikhal - is inside the engine and playable! You won't see his head though, because of first person perspective. Time for a pause! My body hurts from sitting around for so long!

I have worked a lot on the cleanup of the horse model. It's now ready for UV mapping and then texturing.

The animations are all work in progress.

I've started to make the first texture. This is Rabica's fur color. She's the leader of the herd.

Despite horrible neck pain, i'm working on the foal model, which is supposed to be in the herd of horses on the island.

A few behind the scenes pictures for you, if you're curious.

TORUN - the first stallion in the project! Now Rabica's not alone on the island anymore. His textures are work in progress, but i still wanted to see them in the engine before deciding how to enhance them. Torun is currently not playable.

I've modeled and textured a modular ramp today. All by hand in Blender and Substance Painter. I'm using it for the docks. The Durendares transported horses and wares up and down to the docks.

Placed a lot more trees and bushes. Placed the tiny hermit hut on Dan's Dot. Worked on the vegetation performance. Next up: texture performance (decreasing resolution, decal ivy instead of texture ivy on the stables and riding hall).

New features:

- Audio settings menu

- Simple day-night-cycle

Fixed problems:

- Double pause menu

- Oversized buttons

The widget of the audio settings menu works fine now, yet the settings themselves not. Working on it!
