I'm doing some small changes so I can showcase the game at the Nordic Games Conference in about a week! The status of which hints you've seen will be reset, sorry for that. If I haven't said it already - There's a new Tutorial map for the building system too.
I am going to demo the game next week at Nordic games in Malmö! So I added help page that's easy to find, and that summarizes the most important information.
A bunch of progress and improvements! Better tutorial at beginning. Better flow at start of map. Polish on the building system. Music added... more on that another time. Animals added, you have to find which yourself.
Fixed a bug where you couldn't start the game unless you had played it before ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ · Added a bunch of speed sliders to adjust various camera movement in the options. The camera should also be more consistent between gamepad and mouse, and framerate independent. But not 100%. · "Continue" will now pick the right right save to load from. · Many small fixes!
Options! · The graphics options are now easier and better tweaked - the visual look of the game remains consistent - with the old options, some settings could break the look completely. · Added in ultra-reflections as an option too, but that's for some hefty PCs. · Removed the "resolution" settings, as those aren't relevant nowadays - it's an old way of doing it! · Fixed water glitch on lower s…
A Performance and usability update! - Made trails cache when not in use, this should stop performance to degrade over long playtimes. - Fixed a bug that spawned invisible items, that could have worsened performance a lot for long playtimes. - Simplified physics for log dropping trees and items, so no potentially crazy behavior now. - Added a gamepad controls help (hold gamepad special left to v…
The new animations from my intern are now live for the game! She has worked fulltime for half a year on the game's animations and the animation system, so a lot of great progress has been made! Our character is more alive. Still, some animations aren't quite finished yet, and a bit blockouty, but the important groundwork is laid, to enable further fleshing out of the animations in the future. -…
- Working on getting gamepads supported. Menus and basic controls works now, and the rest will come. - Save/Load system has gotten more work, but it's not fully saving/restoring all the items yet. - More new animations that can be "previewed" in the developer menu.
A lot of new progress has been made for our upcoming playtest! · More sounds updated · Inventory and bag handling · Items · Ice crystals · dynamic walking speed
I'm actually alive and making great progress, despite not updating Steam much. The game is starting to tell a full story - and it's going to get a real story. Also Big News: I'm joined for a time by an animator! She's gonna help put life and motion into the character and gameplay. But more about this later - that's for another update.
Added a Save/Load system for the tracks. You have several slots and ALL the trails are saved, so bear that in mind. It's not a full save/load system yet: time and the items you place are not stored yet. Added a experimental "Guides" system. To help you draw in geometric shapes. It helps but doesn't do all the work.
