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!

Very quick fix before my development pause. The credits are now fully accessible by the main menu screen and you can close them with the button too.

I've added some interior to the stables. Everything of the stables and inside is modeled by myself.

I have reworked the foal model in Blender. It looks way better now. I only need to model the mouth, teeth and eyes now.

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

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.

It was a sh!t ton of work to do that, but the settings menu and the main menu are now mostly working! In the main menu only "new game" and "quit" work so far. The closing of the settings menu is still buggy. Working on fixing it!

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

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).

The animations are all work in progress.
