Hey Ranchers!
This month, I've been working on adding interior lighting for buildings and furniture. This new addition will allow players to customize the look and feel of their buildings, creating unique and cozy environments for their visitors.
Players can craft a range of interior furniture for the saloon, hotel, and other buildings which can have a practical impact on the game. For example, visitors will use tables and chairs in the saloon while eating, and sleep in beds in the hotel rooms.
Crafted items made from better resources provide higher stats in comfort and attractiveness, which can affect your visitor's happiness. When crafting an item, players can choose from a variety of different resources, ranging from basic materials like wood and stone to exotic resources found in other places (more to come on that in a later post).
I've also been working through a lot of under-the-hood improvements. One goal was to make the save system more reliable and robust, ensuring that players' saved games are not corrupted or lost. Unfortunately, there are no GIFs to show this off, so you'll have to take my word for it! I do have a WIP title screen to show off though:
As always, please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions, and stay tuned for more updates!
